Discovering His True Colors
A medical report shows me my husband's true colors.
I've been diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer. Yet, my husband gives our life savings to someone else. I lunge at him to take my anger out on him, but he shoves me to the floor. "Lillian needs the money to open up a shop, you madwoman! So what if I've given her the money?
"You have late-stage stomach cancer, so it's the end of the line for you! Why are you trying to compete with someone who has a long life ahead when you already have one foot in the grave? You can't expect Mom and I to lose everything because of you, right?"
I sit dazedly on the floor. I've never found him more unfamiliar. After that, I sneak all my wedding gifts out, wanting to sell them for money. However, I'm told they're all fakes.
My husband sneers. "I'm glad I had the foresight to switch them out for the real deal. You would've taken all the money if not for that!"
Later, the hospital called to say there was an issue with their system. The names on the medical reports were wrongly indicated.
I ask my husband, "Why are you competing with someone who has a long life ahead when you already have one foot in the grave?"
