Accused Of Taking Bribes By My Husband

Synopsis

I was the director of cardiology and had been practicing medicine for fifteen years. That day in the hospital lobby, my husband, Sean Newman, jabbed his finger right in my face, in front of all my colleagues. "She takes bribes from patients! I have proof!" The investigation team showed up three times, checking every record. On the day the result was announced, the president, Warren Green, revoked my medical license himself. I didn't say a word in my defense. I just turned and walked away. Half a month later, in the dead of night, my phone started buzzing like crazy. I saw 99 missed calls—all from Sean. In the latest voice message, Sean's voice was rough and desperate. "My mom is having a heart attack! Please, come home! I'm begging you!" I stared at my phone and answered in a flat voice. Sean's wailing echoed through the line, full of pure desperation.
