I Cut Short My Business Trip upon Learning My Wife Was in the ER – Found Another Man by Her Bed When I Arrived…

“We don’t have all the details yet, but you need to come as soon as possible.”

Panic surged through Ethan’s veins. “I’ll be there right away,” he stammered, hanging up the phone. His hands trembled as he turned his car around, racing back to town. His mind was consumed with fear, imagining the worst. Isabel had been fine when he left that morning—what could have happened?

Every mile felt like an eternity. His thoughts spiraled into dark places, but all he could do was grip the steering wheel and whisper, “Please be okay, Isabel.”

When he finally arrived at the hospital, he rushed inside, his heart pounding in his chest. “Where’s my wife?” he asked the nurse, his voice frantic. “Isabel Williams. I was told she’s here.”

The nurse looked at him, puzzled. “Her husband is already with her,” she said calmly.

Ethan’s confusion deepened. “I am her husband,” he insisted.

The nurse pointed down the hall. “Room 12.”

Ethan hurried to the room, and what he saw stopped him in his tracks. A man sat beside Isabel, holding her hand. He looked up when Ethan entered.

“Who are you?” Ethan demanded, his voice trembling with anger and fear.

The man stood and replied, “I’m Logan. Her… lover. We’ve been seeing each other for a year. We were in an accident, and I brought her here. I asked the nurse to call you.”

Ethan’s world crumbled in that instant. His fists clenched as a surge of rage and disbelief washed over him. “Her lover?” he repeated, struggling to comprehend. “What are you talking about?”

Logan nodded, his voice steady. “I know she loves you, Ethan. She always talked about you—how she missed the way things used to be. But she felt neglected. She didn’t know how to tell you.”
