Too late, I am no longer your wife CHAPTER 86 The Thing He Couldn't Hide
Adrian POVI was halfway down the corridor when my phone rang again. I had barely made it out of the foundation building. Tina's last words were still in my head, but I answered without looking at the screen."Have you found it?" I asked."Not the original," the caller replied. "But there's a copy; it came with the request that arrived this afternoon."I stopped beside the lift. "Who submitted the request?" I asked"I can't tell from the copy I received. It came through the proper channel.""Who has seen it?" he asked"Two people here," the caller replied"Have they sent it anywhere?" I asked"No, I thought you should look at it first," the caller repliedI glanced towards the glass doors at the end of the corridor. "Where are you now?" I asked"At the office.""I'm on my way. Keep the copy there until I arrive; don't send it to anyone else," they said"I understand," they respondedI ended the call. The lift doors opened. I stepped inside, but before they closed, I looked back towards
Too late, I am no longer your wife CHAPTER 85 The Distance Between Us
I had been going through the proposed dates for the next round of foundation activities. Two staff members needed to be reassigned, and Sarah had flagged a conflict between the children's assessment appointments and a scheduled maintenance exercise.I moved the maintenance date to the following week and marked the change.Adrian walked into my office"Good morning Tina,’’ he said ‘have you settled the schedule?" he asked."Almost, here's still a problem with the assessment room."He picked up the printed copy I had left beside the folder."The room will be available on Thursday, I've spoken to the facilities team," he saidI looked up at him. "You have?""They can finish the work before then.""That helps. Sarah was worried we'd have to move some of the appointments." I told him"She won't need to," he repliedHe placed the schedule back on my desk.Ordinarily, Adrian would have asked what else needed attention or pointed out something I might have missed. This time, he seemed ready t
Too late, I am no longer your wife CHAPTER 84 What Charles Was Not Told
Charles POVMy phone rang just as I was putting the old correspondence back into its folder. Tina's name appeared on the screen. I looked at it for a moment before answering."Charles." She called, "Did you have a discussion with someone connected to the old programme's withdrawal?" she askedI stood beside my desk. "Who told you about that?" I asked"Daniel's contact. Apparently, they remember you being involved in a separate discussion around that time," she saidI rubbed my forehead, "They're right; there was a discussion, but it wasn't about the withdrawal itself.""Then what was it about?" she asked. "Did you know the programme was going to be withdrawn?" she continued"No, not from that discussion," I replied. There was a short silence from her. "Charles, I need you to understand why I'm asking. Daniel is trying to establish who made that decision. If you were involved in something connected to it, I need to know.""I understand," I replied"Can you find out what the discussion
Too late, I am no longer your wife CHAPTER 83 The Decision That Followed
I read Daniel's message again before calling him; he had been part of an earlier review of the programme. That much was clear, but the decision to withdraw the programme's research authorisation had come later, and he had not known it was being considered.I put the phone to my ear. Daniel answered after the second ring. "Tina?""I need you to help me establish who made that decision." "I've already told you what I know about the review," he replied"I'm not asking you to repeat it. You said the review and the withdrawal happened at different times. Someone must have handled the later decision.""That doesn't mean the person who handled it was involved in the original review," he said"Then let's find out who it was," I repliedHe breathed out. "I can contact someone who worked with the programme's administration. They may be able to point us in the right direction, but I can't promise they'll have the answer.""Ask them who received the withdrawal decision, who approved it, and whet
Too late, I am no longer your wife CHAPTER 82 The Question Mei Wouldn't Ignore
The email from Mei Foundation arrived shortly after nine. I was halfway through reviewing the week's research schedule when the notification appeared on my screen. I almost left it until later. There were already several messages waiting for my attention, and I had learned that opening one official email could easily take up the rest of my morning.Then I saw the sender's name. I opened it, the message was addressed to me and concerned the foundation's ongoing partnership review. Mei had completed an initial assessment of the documents we submitted, but there were questions about one part of our research procedure.I read the paragraph twice.They wanted clarification on how information collected during routine follow-up with families would be handled if that information was later used for research.I sat back.It wasn't an unreasonable question; we had separate procedures for patient care and research participation. A parent who declined research participation was not supposed to lose
Too late, I am no longer your wife CHAPTER 81 The Call That Changed the Evening
A child's mother was waiting outside my office when I came out. She had her phone in one hand and her handbag tucked under her arm. Sarah had been checking the schedule for her, but from the way she kept looking towards reception, I could tell she was running out of patience.“Have you been able to confirm the date?” she asked.“Not yet,” I said. “Sarah is checking what we can keep available.”“So should I leave the day free or not?”I glanced towards reception. Sarah was speaking quietly to someone on the phone, one hand covering the receiver.“I don't want you rearranging everything based on a promise I can't make,” I told her. “But I also don't want you to miss the opportunity if we can still make the arrangement.”The woman looked down at her phone. “I have people helping me organise things. They keep asking whether the date is confirmed. I don't know what to tell them anymore.” She said“I understand,” I replied“It's not easy asking people to keep making changes,” she said“I kn

Charles PovWhen Charles woke up that morning, he felt the house was unusually quiet. He called for his wife, "Tina?" but there was no response, and irritation was already creeping into his voice. He walked downstairs; the dining table was set as usual, and a single envelope was placed neatly besid

For the next couple of days I carried on with my life; some days the grief was loud and violent, and other days I was able to hide it behind a smile. I learned quickly how to move on with myself.When Charles returned home three days after Sam’s funeral, I greeted him at the door like nothing had c

Someone had closed Sam’s eyes; his lashes were still damp when the nurse covered his small body with the white sheet.I sat beside Sam’s empty bed long after the doctors left. No tears came; it was as if my body had forgotten how to cry.My phone vibrated in my hand; it was CharlesI stared at his

“I am sorry, Mrs. Wesley, the child's symptoms seems to be getting worse; I will recommend you transfer him to another practitioner," the doctor announced“You mean there is nothing that can be done?” I asked, holding my child close to me“For now we can manage the symptoms, but there is no known c
