I Woke Up From A Coma Early And Overheard My Wife Bribing My Doctor To Let Me Die. She Thinks I’m A Vegetable, But I’m Actually Planning My Revenge. What Should My First Move Be?
Chris’s Journey
Unbeknownst to himself, the young businessman fell asleep again, dreaming about his past. Chris grew up in a poor family and was used to hard work from an early age. The boy didn’t have a father, and in order to help his mother provide for the family, he had to grow up very early.
After school, Chris went to the car wash or helped the janitor clean the city park. The boy got paid very little for his work, but at that time, it seemed like a fortune to him. After graduating from school, Chris went to college, having chosen to study economics.
From the very first days of college, the professors couldn’t help but note the outstanding talent and hard work of the young man, who wanted to succeed in life more than anything else. Chris had to go through a lot to make his dream come true.
At first, he took the position of an intern in a small company, then the position of a senior manager of the sales department, and a while later he got the position of a general director. For someone who’s not a part of the business world, climbing the career ladder might seem boring and unimportant. But for all of Chris’s friends and acquaintances, his rapid ascent to the company’s top management position seemed like something truly fascinating and worthy of respect.
The young man met Jennifer when he’d already achieved success in the business world. The beautiful woman fascinated Chris from the very first minutes of their encounter. Despite his social status, Chris remained a kind and slightly naive young man.
Their passionate romance ended in a wedding that surprised Chris’s friends and acquaintances with its magnitude and luxury. Unfortunately, the young people only lived together for two years before the car accident. And now, lying in the hospital bed, Chris got to see with his own eyes that his wife was pretending to be someone else all those years and was actually a completely different person.
The Escape
Realizing that he had no time to waste, the man asked the nurse to help him get out of bed.
“But it’s too early for you to try and get up. After all, they’re only now getting ready to transfer you out of the ICU,”
The young nurse whispered uncertainly.
“You have to understand, I need to get home. At least for half an hour. I can pay you for it, just please help me,”
Chris pleaded.
The nurse sighed sadly and opened the locker to take out his clothes.
“Here, take this. Your wife brought them in. And you don’t need to pay me, I get it,”
The woman nodded, helping the patient stand up.
Chris immediately started seeing double, but he got his bearings a minute later and started feeling less dizzy. He even managed to take a few steps around the room.
“Well, it looks like I’m as good as new,”
The man joked, putting on his clothes.
Soon he was already walking down the hallway, catching the surprised glances of the medical staff. Fortunately, Chris managed to get by Rachel Thompson, who was the attending and would have definitely made him get back into bed. In order to get home as soon as possible, Chris had to get a taxi.
Unwelcome Guests
The drive took a few minutes, and when the man opened the front door to his penthouse, he literally froze from what he saw. The fact was that some stranger was walking around the living room, looking like he owned the place.
“Oh, you’re probably the designer. Come on in, hurry up. We’re already tired of waiting for you. We have a lot of work to do and you can’t even get here on time,”
The stranger said, sounding irritated.
“No, not a designer. Not even close. I actually own this place,”
Chris said in an icy tone.
At that moment, Jennifer came into the room and almost fainted at the sight of her husband alive and well.
“But you should have died. I saw it with my own eyes,”
The woman whispered.
“Well, as you can see, I’m alive and I’m not going to die. As for you, I suggest that you get out of my home right this moment and don’t forget your lover. Otherwise, I’m going to call the police,”
Chris said, not even trying to hide his contempt.
Jennifer tried to say something, but when she saw the eyes of her soon-to-be ex-husband, she silently started packing her things. Within half an hour, the young woman and her lover left Chris’s apartment.
A New Beginning
The businessman sank wearily into a chair and closed his eyes. Being on his feet for so long so soon after the accident was very hard for Chris, so he virtually had no strength left. The man didn’t even realize when he lost consciousness and plunged into impenetrable darkness.
Chris didn’t even wake up when the door of his apartment flung open and Rachel Thompson came in with the resuscitation team. The young businessman only came to his senses the next morning. The first person he saw was Rachel standing next to his bed.
“So you finally woke up. Was it worth the risk? If I knew what you were up to, I would have never let you do it. I think I should have let your wife know about it. You could have died,”
The doctor said, sounding very concerned.
“Sorry, I was too emotional to think straight. Of course, I shouldn’t have done it. I didn’t mean to cause trouble for you or the on-call nurse,”
Chris answered, lowering his eyes guiltily.
From the very moment he met Rachel, he felt that she was a warm and kind woman. He might have been wrong, but he couldn’t help but hope that they would become friends, or maybe even have a romantic relationship.
Three weeks later, Chris was discharged from the hospital and got to go home holding the hand of Rachel Thompson. At the sight of this touching scene, none of the employees of the medical institution could hold back their smiles. Having become friends, Rachel and Chris felt a rather strong mutual attraction, which only got stronger with each passing day.
When he was still at the hospital, Chris called the family lawyer and filed for divorce. Even though Jennifer took him to court, she still ended up getting nothing.
Having started a new life with the woman he loved, Chris was 100% sure that this time he made the right choice. And thus, he was confident that he wouldn’t have to feel betrayed ever again, since there was no place for betrayal in a strong and loving family.
