Father's Death, Husband's Betrayal

Synopsis

The night the typhoon made landfall, with rain pouring down, my husband, captain of the Criminal Investigation Division, vanished without a trace. When I finally saw him again, he was lying in the orthopedic ward with his right leg crushed. He wore a cartoon raincoat that was too big for him and smelled strongly of cheap perfume. Marlon Willard had severe acrophobia and he couldn't step onto a second-floor balcony. The instructor hesitated before finally revealing the truth: a girl streamer had gotten stuck at the very top of the Ferris wheel while live-streaming. Without waiting for the rescue team, Marlon climbed the heights alone, no gear, no backup, and carried her down on his back. "Really, it wasn't a big deal. The streamer just kept freaking out, and Captain Marlon ended up falling while trying to calm her down." Just before the call ended, the Instructor added, "Mrs. Willard, honestly, that streamer never called the police. She simply video-called Captain Marlon directly."
