Winning Back the Husband

Mistress

Male POV

Tragic Love

Melodramatic

My wife, Andrea Cohen, has been pretending to be blind for three years while clutching onto her cane. On the night the old building of the medical university crumbles due to an earthquake, a crumbling wall completely shatters my spine. I can only scream Andrea's name hysterically in an attempt to call for help. With her eyes closed, Andrea stands by the debris while responding in my direction in a cold voice, "I can't see, so I can't feel you at all. You should crawl out to safety by yourself." But the next moment, her first love, Eugene White, lets out a surprised yell. When he's about to get struck by the falling rocks from the tremors, Andrea's eyes suddenly snap open. She tosses her cane aside and accurately avoids the metal bars and spikes that are strewn all over the ground. Without hesitation, she lunges at Eugene just to protect him from the rocks. The back of my head ends up getting pierced by a fallen slab. After I wake up from a coma, I've gone completely blind. At the same time, my intelligence has deteriorated to one of a five-year-old. Three years later, Andrea, who has become the best surgeon in the industry, looks for me everywhere like a lunatic. Finally, she spots me huddling under a bridge, where I beg for food and money. She sinks down to her knees in the snow, her eyes bloodshot. "To think that you're brutal enough to take out your own eyesight just to avoid me! Is it even worth getting reduced to this state?" I tilt my head quietly as I stare at the void with my hollow gaze. Then, I slowly dig out a blackened coin from my cracked bowl before passing it in Andrea's direction. "Your eyes are working fine, lady. Why are you feeling around on the ground just like me? Are you here to beg for food as well? I've only earned one coin, but I'll give it to you."

Chapter 1
I edged the coin forward in my palm, hoping I could reach the lady in front of me and brush her hand. Natalie always said that if we came across anyone pitiful, we had to help them if we could.The lady seemed to be dressed too thin for this weather, and there was a strange perfume clinging to her clothes. She had to be freezing, kneeling in the snow like that.But the next second, she smacked the back of my hand, making pain shoot through me. The coin flew out of my fingers. I heard it bounce on the frozen concrete, each crisp ring echoing in the cold air.Then, it rolled away with a hollow rattle before finally dropping with a sharp ding through the metal grate at the edge of the overpass."My money!"Panic clawed up my throat as I scrambled across the icy ground on my hands and knees. Without that coin, I wasn't getting any hot buns to eat.I groped my way to the drain, forcing my fingers into the narrow gaps of the grate. "My money fell in… That's for my food…"The grate was

The car stopped. I was yanked all the way out and shoved into a place that reeked of disinfectant. It was freezing, and the floor was rock-hard."Let go! Don't pull at my clothes!" I cried.Several people who seemed to be orderlies surrounded me, roughly yanking off my filthy, mud-stained cotton jacket. Inside it was a dollar bill that Natalie had sewn in for me."Behave yourself!" one of the orderlies snapped, giving me a hard shove.I stumbled and crashed onto the icy tile floor, knee-first. Pain coursed through me. Before I could get up, they grabbed me by the arms again and pushed me toward some kind of platform."Get in there!" They shoved me into a narrow, freezing tube.Right after that, a rumbling noise exploded around me. The machine kicked on, and the vibration ran through my whole body.Darkness. Tight space. Violent shaking.I knew this feeling all too well. The memory of that night three years ago crashed through my mind. The load-bearing wall came crashing down; t

I was forced into a suit that didn't fit. It was tight and digging into me, and the sleeves were too short. They exposed the chilblains that covered my hands from years of picking through trash.Andrea and Eugene dragged me to a place that was unbearably loud. All around me were strangers talking over one another, and I was terrified."Sit there and don't move," Andrea warned me, then went off to schmooze with the guests.I curled up on a chair in the corner, hugging my knees. I hadn't eaten all day, and my stomach was growling so loudly it hurt.Just then, the smell of chicken broth drifted into my nose. It smelled amazing and was rich with the scent of meat."Dr. Gibson, you must be starving, huh?" Eugene's voice rang out right above me. "This is chicken broth Andrea made just for you. Drink it while it's hot."The moment I heard it was for me, I immediately stretched out both hands, following the smell, reaching for the bowl. Just as my fingers brushed the rim, Eugene suddenly

According to the people around me, B1 was the hospital's morgue. Two security guards dragged and hauled me there, throwing me inside.The heavy iron door slammed shut with a bang. The world went quiet at once, leaving only the roar of the industrial AC. I curled up beside a metal cabinet, clamping my left hand tightly over the wound on my right. It was so cold that the blood seeping from my hand quickly grew thick and sticky, then clotted."Natalie… where are you… It's so cold…"I shivered in the dark, my whole body trembling as my consciousness drifted in and out.I didn't know how much time had passed when there was a loud bang. The morgue door shuddered under a violent impact. Someone outside was hammering at it with something metal.After a few tries, the lock snapped under the force, and the door was shoved open. A wave of hot, sweaty air rushed in."Colin!"It was Natalie's voice!She rushed in and threw aside whatever was in her hand. Judging from the sound, it was the t

Chapter 5
When I came to again, the sharp stench of disinfectant hit my nose. I was lying on a rock-hard hospital bed. Both of my hands were wrapped in thick casts, feeling like I had two heavy sandbags dangling from them. I couldn't move them at all."Finally decided to wake up?" Andrea's cold voice sounded right beside the bed. "You went as far as hurting yourself just to make me feel guilty, huh? Your farce can end now, Colin."Fear shot through me on instinct when I heard her voice. I pulled my legs up and shrank back into the corner of the bed. My casts banged against the rail with dull thuds."Don't hit me… I paid the nasty lady back with my hands… Don't hit Natalie…" I kept muttering, too afraid to even turn in Andrea's direction.Just then, I heard the ward door open. Footsteps echoed as a bunch of people walked in. Leading them was the director of a joint consultation between neurology and orthopedics—or so he told me.He slapped a thick stack of reports down on the table in front

Chapter 6
Andrea completely lost it. She refused to accept that I, the once brilliant prodigy, had really turned into a useless idiot.Using her authority as hospital director, she forced my transfer into the top-tier VIP rehab ward. The room was padded everywhere, but to me, it still felt like a cage.One day, she came to me with a pile of medical-grade silicone pads and suture threads already threaded through needles."Colin, get up." She yanked me up from the bed.She grabbed my right hand, which was still in a thick cast, and forcefully shoved a thin suture needle between my fingers, which were left exposed."You're a genius, aren't you? Your muscle memory still exists." Her eyes were red, and her voice trembled. "Do the sutures. Sew them together! You can hold a scalpel steady—you have to be able to!"She was trying to use this forced, almost violent method to drag that surgical genius back out of me. But I couldn't see, and my fingers were useless.The needle was slippery. I jabbed

The impact led to a severe intracranial infection. By that night, my fever had shot up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and I slipped into a half-conscious state.I lay on the hospital bed, burning up like a furnace. My dreams were filled with scenes from the earthquake years ago."Watch out for the rocks! Run!" My eyes remained shut as my hands flailed in the air, trying to shove away those crushing hallucinations.It was late, and the hallway outside was dead quiet. Then, slowly and silently, the door to my hospital ward was pushed open.Eugene slipped in, dressed in a nurse's uniform. In his hand was a syringe filled with a clear liquid. It was a high-concentration potassium chloride solution.Once pushed into a vein, it would trigger instant cardiac arrest. He wanted to make it look like there'd been a medical accident."Why won't you just die, you blind freak?" He ground out the words as he leaned over my bed. "Andrea's eyes will always be fixed on you for as long as you're alive.

Chapter 8
Andrea used her connections to drop all charges against Natalie and get her released from the police station.On the morning of the third day, Natalie went straight to Andrea's office at the hospital. She was carrying a grimy burlap sack that was greasy and filthy. It was the kind used to collect old plastic bottles."Dr. Cohen, I've brought Colin's things." Natalie walked up to the mahogany desk, her face devoid of emotion.Gripping the bottom of the sack, she flipped it over and dumped everything out onto the desk. A harsh clatter echoed through the room.Several reeking plastic bottles tumbled across the surface. Mixed in with them was an old tape recorder, so beat-up its outer casing was about to fall apart, and a few pieces of thick cardboard, punctured all over with ballpoint pen holes.Andrea's lip curled in disgust. Natalie sneered, picked up the busted tape recorder, and pressed play. A burst of cheap, staticky noise came out of the speaker. Then, my childish, stutterin

Andrea went into a kind of frantic overdrive trying to make things up to me.She gave the hospital a hard order to buy the best equipment for every department, just so they could treat my hands and legs. She even paid an outrageous amount to hire a top private chef to customize my meals.At lunchtime, she personally brought in a plate of sliced, top-grade beef to my bedside. It was cooked to a perfect medium, tender and dripping with juice."Colin, time to eat," she said.She crouched beside the bed almost humbly and picked up a fork. Then, she speared a piece of beef and held it up to my lips. "Come on, open up. You used to love this beef."I smelled raw meat. In the past, the only time I smelled meat like this was when it was rotting in the trash. I jerked my hand up and slapped the plate away."I don't want it! It's not cooked! I'll get an upset tummy if I eat that!"I covered my nose in disgust. Then, like I was a thief, I reached into the pocket of my hospital gown and pull

Chapter 10
After being chased out of the hospital ward, Eugene found himself on the brink of ruin. He faced accusations of attempted murder and the loss of his medical license.Backed into a corner, he snapped. In desperation, he secretly contacted over a dozen shady media outlets and planned a revenge stunt.It all happened at an annual medical forum press conference hosted by Andrea. In the audience sat hundreds of media outlets and top figures from the medical community, while Andrea was up on stage, giving a speech.Right then, Eugene suddenly burst in from the side door, ramming a wheelchair straight onto the stage. I was strapped into that wheelchair."Everyone, look closely!" Eugene pointed at Andrea and started slandering her. "Andrea Cohen pretends to be some saintly doctor, but in private, she illegally imprisoned a disabled man! This is her ex-husband. She tortured him until he turned into a fool, just so she could steal his assets!"The reporters in the audience went wild. Endles
