Feel-Good Story

Plot Twists

Male POV

Face Slapping

During my vacation, I'm in the middle of a riverside stroll with my wife, Wendy Summer, when I suddenly hear someone screaming. "Please! Save my drowning son!" Before I can regain my senses, Wendy, who's pregnant, quickly pushes the crowd apart and rushes toward the center of the conflict. "I'm a doctor, so I can help save the patient. I'll perform CPR on him right away." As Wendy speaks, she moves to lean over the patient. But that's when I grip her by the wrist tightly. "You're not allowed to save him. If you dare administer CPR to him, we'll get a divorce." Wendy stares at me in shock. "Have you gone nuts? Healing the sick and treating the injured is a doctor's duty! You're a doctor as well, Rowan! How could you say such things?" The onlookers begin admonishing me. "If you don't heal the sick and treat the wounded, then what sort of doctor are you? You're just an unethical bastard!" "I can't believe doctors like you still exist! You have no right to remain as a doctor! I'm going to record your actions and upload the video to the Internet!" I say firmly to Wendy, "We shall not be discussing this matter. If you save him, we'll get a divorce right away!"

Chapter 1
My wife, Wendy Summer, bent over, ready to give the man who had fallen into the water mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but I stepped in front of her.Wendy placed a calming hand on my shoulder. "Rowan, it's just CPR. Nothing's going to happen."The people around us were praising her, but the looks directed at me were full of contempt. I ignored them and gripped her wrist tightly. "If you want to save him, fine. But if you do, we're getting a divorce. I won't stop you."She pried my fingers off and glared at me. "I'm trying to save a life! You're a doctor yourself. How can you stop me? Divorce isn't something you throw around lightly. What are you thinking?"A white-haired elderly woman stood next to the drowned man. When she heard us arguing, she dropped to her knees. "You're both doctors. You can't just watch him die. Please, save my son. He's the only one I have," she pleaded desperately.The first good Samaritan who had jumped in after him was soaked to the bone. He gasped for

Chapter 2
The scene erupted into chaos. Everyone had thought I was joking, but clearly, I was serious.Shock crossed Wendy's face as she frowned at me. "Rowan, you're always the first to care for patients at the hospital. You saved me once, and that's why I fell in love with you and married you. "Now I'm carrying your child. You're about to be a father. You should understand how an elderly parent feels. Have you really been so stressed about that promotion that you've lost sight of what's important?"After hearing her words, the people who had been pointing fingers at me slowly began to relent."He isn't completely irresponsible after all… Perhaps he's dealing with too much pressure.""Divorce is just talk. Don't take it seriously."Wendy pulled me into a hug and whispered, "Come on, honey. I'm just trying to earn merit for our baby. You love me—you wouldn't actually want a divorce, would you?"I shoved her away and said coldly, "I'm serious. I'm not joking. You can play the saint if you

Chapter 3
Wendy froze in place when she heard my words. "Rowan, are you out of your mind? I'm carrying your child, and you want a divorce? Are you even a man?"The crowd exploded in anger, shouting at me without holding back."How can you divorce your pregnant wife? What a heartless man!""Yeah, and he even stopped her from helping! He probably saved her back then just to use it against her!"A middle-aged woman grabbed Wendy's hand and said indignantly, "Sweetheart, I know how men like this operate. He saved you back then for his own gain, and now he's divorcing you because there's someone else in the picture!"Others in the crowd quickly nodded in agreement.Wendy looked at me with suspicion in her eyes. "Rowan, there are always rumors at the hospital about you and the nurses. It can't be true, can it? How could you do something like this behind my back? Are you even human?"I let out a lazy half-smile, uninterested in defending myself. "By that logic, with all these people here, no one

People nearby immediately began speaking up for Wendy."Men like that get shown a little kindness and suddenly forget who they are!""Doctor, listen to me. If you want a divorce, then go ahead and get one!""You're such a great catch. You can easily find someone better!"Sorrow filled Wendy's face as she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around me. "Rowan, why are you suddenly talking about divorce? Weren't we doing fine before? "Is it really because I saved someone today that you want to leave me? If I did something wrong, I'll change. Can't we just live our lives peacefully?"I coldly pushed her away. "Yes. It's because of that."At that moment, the police arrived after someone reported the situation. After hearing what had happened, they advised me to leave and not interfere with the doctors who were trying to save the victim.I let out a cold laugh. "Officer, if I walk away now and it turns out my wife cheated on me and is even carrying another man's child, wouldn't tha

Chaos consumed the room, with arguments breaking out everywhere. On the livestream, viewers flooded the chat with questions."Why would Dr. Summer's father-in-law change his mind so suddenly? What could that video possibly reveal?""Did Dr. Summer's husband catch her in the act of doing something shady?""Dr. Summer has an excellent reputation at the hospital. She's known for her ethics and even treats patients for free. How could anyone doubt her?"Wendy stood frozen in shock, then snatched the phone from me. "Dad, how could you even consider letting Rowan divorce me? You told me before that you were happy to have me as your daughter-in-law."Dad firmly replied, "I don't have a daughter-in-law like you. You must divorce Rowan."Wendy let out a bitter laugh and nodded. "Fine. If that's what you want, I'll divorce him."She reached for the divorce agreement in my hands.Just as she was about to sign it, the elderly woman, Eva Jenkins, rushed forward and snatched the document, th

People glanced at each other nervously, as if I had finally lost my mind.Eva looked perfectly innocent. "Dr. Smith, you shouldn't be tossing out accusations like that. Dr. Summer and I just met today. What would we possibly gain from putting on a scene?"One of the bystanders, who had spoken up earlier, let out a cold snort. "I'm done with this. You're the one pushing for a divorce! First, you stopped her from saving someone, and now you're making wild claims. Honestly, someone like you shouldn't even be a doctor. You're the one who's lost it. You should check yourself into a psychiatric hospital," he snapped, avoiding my gaze.Wendy let out a frustrated sigh. "That's enough. You said we should part on good terms. Stop dragging innocent people into this."I gave a faint smile and pulled up a video on my phone.The footage was unmistakable. While I had been asleep, Wendy and Thomas Jenkins had been in our home, tangled in an intimate embrace.The reaction was immediate."Dr. S

Irritation flashed across Wendy's face as she glared at me. "Rowan, don't push this. Aren't you worried about your own reputation if you keep going?"A young woman stepped forward, placing a reassuring hand on Wendy's shoulder. "I know this is hard. Your husband clearly wants to humiliate you in public. Stay strong."Another pregnant woman, who had spoken earlier, rested a hand on her belly and shot me a scornful look. "A pregnant wife deserves care and support. A man like you doesn't deserve to be a father. If you can't even look after your own wife, how could anyone trust their life to you?"I let out a cold laugh, scanning the crowd with a hard gaze. "You people are unbelievable. Cheating is a matter of principle, and yet you bend the truth and accept it without question. Are your brains stuffed with straw? I hope you return the same generosity if your partners ever cheat on you."The livestream chat exploded."Are you kidding me? They're actually forgiving the cheater?""Dr.

"Wendy needs to be punished for what she's done. Rowan, I'm with you!" Dad exclaimed.Voices erupted around us."Dr. Summer just had an affair. Why should she go to jail?""Dr. Smith, their reputations are already ruined. Calm down and let it go."Wendy looked flustered but still tried to intimidate me. "Rowan, I've already made my biggest concession. Don't push this too far! You skipped the surgery and offended Dr. Connor. You made this whole thing go viral. Just wait—you'll face consequences when you go back!"I didn't flinch. I pulled a high-value insurance policy from my bag. I was the insured party, but the beneficiary was Wendy.I pointed at the clauses and said, "This policy pays double in the case of accidental drowning. It also covers the full amount for death caused by an accidental fall from a cliff. The total compensation is eight million dollars. Wendy, how do you explain this?"Wendy stammered, completely at a loss for words.I slammed the policy onto her hands an
