Ever since I found out I had cancer, I have been in an unspeakable state of distress. The physical pain made me feel weak and helpless every day, and I felt even more fear and helplessness in the face of imminent death.
However, that's not my biggest source of pain. While in the hospital, I stumbled upon a fact that made my heart twist - my wife actually had someone else outside.
That day, the laughter of my wife and a man could be heard in the corridor outside my hospital room, and my body could not move, so I could only listen silently. They approached, turned the corner, and I saw my wife kissing the man. My heart shattered into countless pieces in an instant, and the pain spread throughout my body.
I couldn't accept the fact that my wife had cheated on me. I used to trust her and give her all my love, but in exchange for such a betrayal. My tears rolled down to the ground like pearls with broken threads.
During my hospitalization, I often had scenes of my wife and the man in my mind, and each time I was in great pain. I don't know where they came from or where they're going. However, I couldn't escape reality and couldn't keep myself from thinking about it.
In order to protect my estate, I decided to make a will and leave all my property to my younger brother. He was my loved one and the only person I could trust. I called him to the ward and told him my decision.
When my brother heard my wishes, he was silent for a while, then he took my hand with tears in his eyes. He told me that no matter how difficult I was, he would always support me. He also said that he would not let that woman succeed and promised to fight for me to the end.
On the day I wrote my will, my brother brought a lawyer. I don't know how he found it, but out of trust in my brother, I signed his name. I hope that wherever I go, no matter what has become of me, my legacy will be properly preserved.
I knew that with my physical condition, I would not be able to see my family and friends again. But I hope that when I leave, I will be able to leave with peace of mind, knowing that my legacy has been easily handed over to those closest to me.
I can't thank my brother enough, this person who usually seems to be wooden, but who took practical actions to protect me when I needed him the most. His firmness made me believe that in this twisted world, there are still sincere emotions and innocent family affection.
After my brother got the will, he decided to tell my parents about my wife's cheating behavior that I found out during my hospitalization. He sees it as a betrayal, intolerance and forgiveness of family affection. I knew he was caring and protecting me, but I was hesitant.
After some thought, I decided to give my wife a chance and hope that she would explain it all. Feeling nervous, I asked my wife to meet at the hospital café.
When she appeared in front of me, I saw her pale face and panic in her eyes. I didn't want to blame her right away, but asked frankly, "Wife, can you explain what happened that day?"
Her hands trembled, her lips trembled, and she said with difficulty, "I...... I was wrong, I don't know how to explain it. During this time, I did have an "outsider", but I didn't mean to betray you. I know I've gone too far and I regret it......"
I clenched my fists and took a deep breath, trying to calm my emotions. Although my heart was already full of anger and sadness, I needed to be strong to face it all.
"Can you tell me, then, why is this happening? What went wrong with our marriage?" I asked firmly.
Tears welled up in his wife's eyes, "I ...... I feel helpless, your condition is overwhelming for me, and I need someone to comfort me and give me support. The man, he was known to me at work, he gave me warm and caring words and I felt like I needed him......"
As I listened to her explanation, my feelings became more complicated. I understand the psychological pressure she has caused by my illness, but at the same time I cannot tolerate her betrayal of my marriage. My heart began to waver, and I didn't know how to deal with this contradiction.
Just then, my brother walked in. He frowned when he saw my conversation with my wife, clearly angry at her behavior.
"Brother, what else does she have to explain? She has cheated, this is a betrayal of you and your family, we can't forgive it!" the younger brother said with firm determination in his voice.
I saw my brother's expression and understood where he standed. He is my own brother, he has always selflessly protected and cared for me, and he doesn't want to watch his wife hurt me.
However, I still have some feelings for my wife, and I can't give up easily. I hope to find a way to solve the problem so that everyone can live a better life.
Looking at my brother's determined eyes, I was convinced that he would fight for me to the end. However, just when I thought everything was going to go well, an unexpected contradiction occurred.
One day, my brother suddenly came to me and told me with a solemn expression that he had met the man who was cheating on his wife by chance on the street. He described the man's sneer, mocking his protection of me, and he angrily got into an argument with the man.
I looked at my brother's angry face, and a wave of irritability and helplessness welled up in my heart. I thought that the matter would be resolved smoothly and that my brother would use legal means to protect my inheritance, but now it seems that everything is not as I wished.
My brother described the details of the dispute to me, and he tried to make the man understand his responsibilities and obligations to my brother. However, the man did not think so, and instead laughed at his brother's weakness and incompetence.
I was caught in a contradiction. Although I am angry at the fact that my wife is cheating, I also hope that the family can solve the problem peacefully. I don't want to see my relatives fighting over property.
Faced with this contradiction, I was a little at a loss. I would have liked to find a way to preserve my heritage and keep my family in peace. However, for a while, I couldn't make any decisions.
The man outside my wife was later saved by my brother. My brother confessed that he did not want a dispute over my inheritance because of the existence of this man, and he was willing to sit down with him to talk about it in order to resolve the conflict.
Without my knowledge, my brother agreed to meet the man in a quiet café. I can't help but feel worried, for fear that their communication between them will lead to even greater conflicts. But I also understand that my brother is here to protect my inheritance, so I can only silently pray that everything will work out.
That afternoon, the younger brother sat with the man, and they looked at each other silently for a moment, and then the younger brother said, "You know, our family is broken enough, and I don't want to let this quarrel and strife continue." I hope you can understand that we are all working for the same people. ”
The man's expression was a little stunned, he didn't expect his brother to talk to him so openly and honestly. He smiled and said, "I understand your distress, and I have never thought of fighting you for property. In fact, my marriage to your brother was not a mere exchange of interests. ”
The younger brother's expression relaxed slightly, and he continued: "I believe that we all have our own hardships and choices, but please understand that at this moment, we should put my brother first. He is not far away, and the only hope is for him to have peace and tranquility before he dies. ”
The man bowed his head slightly apologetically: "Yes, I see what you mean. I'm not qualified to fight you for anything at this time. He paused for a moment and continued, "I will leave your life and disturb you no more. But I want you to tell your brother that I once loved him, and that this affection is real. ”
When I got back to the ward, my brother reported to me about their conversation. I felt his deep pain and conflict, he didn't want me to get into a dispute over property before I died, but he couldn't ignore the love that man had given him. I silently held my brother's hand, gratitude and understanding intertwined.
Although the disputes and conflicts in this family have been temporarily alleviated, the emotions behind them are still complex and deep. I don't know what the future holds, but I hope we can all find our happiness and peace in the end.
In the days that followed, the younger brother and the man slowly became friends. They talked to each other about each other's lives and work. My brother told me that the man was an excellent doctor who took care of my treatment at the hospital. I am glad that trust and friendship have gradually developed between them.
However, at the same time, the pain and contradictions in my heart did not dissipate. Every time I see my wife and that man in my sight, my heart is torn apart violently. I knew that my brother and the man had inadvertently become the source of my inner conflict.
Once, I saw my brother and the man talking happily outside the hospital room. A sudden surge of anger welled up in my heart, and I could not bear this betrayal and hurt, so I cried out loudly, "Have you ever thought about how I feel, do you still have love for me?"
My brother looked at me in astonishment, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness. He said, "Brother, you are wrong, we did not betray you. That man is my friend, and he is here for your health. ”
I couldn't accept his explanation, "Could it be that all those intimate acts were done by him for my health?" I yelled in a trembling voice, "why are you talking privately behind my back, why are you hiding it from me?"
At this moment, the man stepped forward, his face full of apology and confusion. "I'm here because I understand your condition and want to give you the best treatment and give you more hope," he said. I don't have any other intentions. ”
But I couldn't believe his words, and my heart was still filled with anger and disappointment. I couldn't face this world of betrayal and couldn't understand why my wife would do such a thing to me.
At that moment, my inner war escalated again. I felt like I was trapped in an abyss from which I could not extricate myself, an abyss of anger, pain, and despair.
On this day, my brother came to me with an uneasy expression on his face. He told me that he had met his wife by chance with the man, and that their relationship did not seem to be just a momentary pleasure. I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, and the pain in my heart came again.
I confronted my wife, and she had to admit that she did have an affair with the man. My wife told me frankly that she betrayed because she felt that I had stopped giving her care and love. Hearing this reason, my heart was torn, and I never imagined that my illness would have such a major impact on our marriage.
I insisted on a divorce and I couldn't forgive her for betrayal. However, my wife refused my request, and she begged me to forgive her, promising to mend her ways. She said she had come down this path because she was lonely and helpless, and that she loved me and wanted us to start over.
My heart was full of contradictions and entanglements. I once loved this woman deeply, and we used to be each other's dependence and support, but now we are torn apart by betrayal. I'm willing to forgive her, and I hope we can get back together, but I still have indelible pain deep in my heart.
Now I need time, time to calm the pain in my heart, time to think about the truth of marriage. My relationship with my wife is no longer the way it used to be, but is there still a chance for us to rebuild trust and mutual dependence?
