The Husband Who Abandoned The Dying

Synopsis

On the day my mother was in a fatal car accident, my husband's first love suddenly spiked a fever. He abandoned my mother at the crash site, all so he could rush to the side of his precious first love. By the time the paramedics finally got my mother to the hospital, she had already missed the critical window for resuscitation. I sat vigil beside her lifeless body the entire night. As dawn broke, my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram notification. My husband had posted a new story. The caption read: [So glad you're okay.] Beneath the text was a photo of him, looking incredibly tender as he spoon-fed medicine to his supposed precious ex. At that exact moment, whatever was left of my heart turned to ash. I typed out a single, icy text and hit send: [Come home and sign the divorce papers.]
