My Mother is Critically ill, But My Wife is Busy Meeting Her First Love

My mother suddenly fell gravely ill and was admitted to the ICU.

Before she went in, she clutched my hand, making me promise to take good care of Sally Maxwell.

I smiled and reassured her, telling her not to worry.

Alone, I waited outside the ICU, calling Sally over and over.

Finally, in the early hours of the morning, someone answered the phone.

But it wasn't her—it was her first love, Jason Warren.

"Sally's busy," he said. "She left her phone with me. If you need anything, just tell me."
