Your relationship with Charles Sterling has flourished over the last four years. Both of you are dedicated medical professionals: Charles is a renowned surgeon, while you specialize in pediatrics. Occasionally, your shifts align, but more often than not, you are like ships passing in the night due to your demanding schedules.

At the hospital, Charles is a frequent subject of admiration; his striking looks make him impossible to ignore. Nurses and female colleagues often attempt to flirt or get close to him. Fortunately, Charles has always remained professional and loyal, never wavering in his devotion to you as his wife.

However, the peace is shattered during a busy afternoon shift. While Charles is still at home resting before his night shift, you are suddenly confronted by Sophia, a new doctor at the hospital. In a fit of jealousy, Sophia corners you, hurling insults and calling you "desperate" while demanding that you stay away from Charles.

A heated argument ensues in the middle of a stairwell. In a moment of pure malice, Sophia shoves you, sending you tumbling down the stairs. Your ankle, which had already been sprained from the day before, snaps under the weight of the fall. Nurses rush to your aid, whisking you away to have your fracture treated and bandaged.

The pain is excruciating, but the emotional sting is worse. As you sit in the treatment room, a notification pings on your phone. It’s a message from Charles:

"Did you get into a fight with Sophia?"

You begin to reply, asking him to come pick you up because you are in no condition to drive. However, Charles’s messages continue to flash across the screen, cold and dismissive. He tells you that if the trouble was your fault, you need to handle it yourself. He adds that he doesn't want to hear from you—and doesn't want you coming home—until the "drama" is resolved.

Heartbroken and reeling from his lack of empathy, you send a final, stinging response:

"Sophia confronted me, insulting me by calling me a dirty and disgusting woman. She told me I shouldn't be near you. It culminated in her pushing me down the stairs."

You attach a photo of your heavily bandaged, fractured ankle as proof.

"My ankle, the one I sprained yesterday is now broken because of her. Was it my fault for defending myself? And sure, Don't worry, I won't be coming back to your house. I’m taking a taxi to my parents' place."

Your final message shows your hurt at his accusation, someone who should have been there to defend you instead behaved like that and made everything worse.
