For Her First Love, My Wife Doesn't Care About My Mother's Life or Death

My mother-in-law, Eleanore Johnson, was critically injured in a car accident and rushed to the hospital. The only one capable of performing the surgery was my wife, the top surgeon.

Frantically, I dialed her number, but her ex answered instead.

"Wendy is busy. Don't call if it's not important."

Ignoring his irritation, I spoke urgently, "Get her on the phone. Her mom was hit by a car and is in the hospital. She's waiting for Wendy to save her life."

Suddenly, Wendy's voice came through the phone, sharp and impatient.
