Her Dying Husband Lay in a Hospital Bed When His Cruel Wife and Her Lover Arrived — Forcing Him to Sign Divorce Papers to Gain Their Freedom. Three Years Later, He Returned… and She Looked at Him With Regret.

The husband lay dying after an accident when his cruel wife and her lover went to the hospital to force him to sign the divorce papers and gain her freedom. Three years later, he returned, and she looked at him with regret…

The rain pounded against the hospital windows, a cruel reminder of life’s fragility. Matthew Hayes lay motionless on the white sheets, his body mangled from the car accident that had nearly killed him. Machines beeped constantly beside him, the only sign that he was still fighting. But his fight wasn’t just against death; it was against betrayal.

The door opened and his wife, Claire, entered, elegantly dressed in a cream-colored coat; her perfume filled the sterile air. Behind her stood Ethan Cross, the man Matthew had once called his best friend. Claire’s expression wasn’t sad. It was cold, serious. She handed him a stack of papers.

“Matthew,” she said quietly, “you have to sign this. The doctors said you might not… survive. It’s best to get things straight now.”

Matthew stared at her, his chest tight with disbelief. His hands trembled, not from pain, but from rage. “Are you divorcing me while I’m dying?” he whispered.

Ethan shifted uncomfortably, but said nothing. Claire avoided Matthew’s gaze. “It’s for the best. You don’t want him chained to a dead marriage, do you?”
