My mother-in-law's leukemia had worsened. She was unconscious, and the doctor said she needed a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible. I called my husband, the hospital director. He answered and rushed to the hospital without a word, but after receiving a mysterious phone call, he vanished without a trace. Watching her heartbeat grow weaker by the minute, I frantically called him 99 times. He finally answered on the hundredth call. Panic made my voice tremble. “Song Che, Mom needs a bone marrow transplant. Only you can sign off on the compatibility test. Please, come back right now!”
All I heard on the other end was his silent breathing. Before he could say a word, I heard Su Wanqing’s voice. “Darling, thank you for doing my bone marrow transplant! How about I repay you with myself?”
My phone fell to the floor. So while he was gone, he had been performing surgery on Su Wanqing. Just when I needed him most, he abandoned his family and went to be with another woman.
