New Wife Refuses Me: Later Her Mom's Hospitalized, I Refuse Too

On our wedding night, my wife wouldn't let me touch her. She just said, coldly, "Some other time," and left it at that. I thought she was shy, so I chose to respect that and wait. What I never imagined was that this "some other time" would become the only promise in our marriage. Three months later, when her mother needed two hundred and eighty thousand for surgery, she took my arm for the first time on her own, looking at me with her eyes full of expectation.
