After Being in a Coma for Five Years, I Decided to Divorce My HusbandChapter 1
After waking from a five-year coma, the first thing I did was divorce Michael, the man who donated his kidney to me.
Everyone called me an ungrateful person, saying I’d forgotten his kindness.
Five years ago, I was captured and tortured by enemies. My kidneys were damaged and I lost my child.
My parents couldn’t handle the shock. My mother had a heart attack and passed away and my father fell seriously ill and was hospitalized.
Michael risked his life to save me, injuring his leg in the process and donating one of his kidneys.
For five years, Michael never left my side. He even moved his entire business into the hospital room, managing the Barkworth family business daily and personally caring for me by night.
He cleaned me, massaged me and helped with my rehab every day for years without missing a single night.
What they didn’t know was that I was conscious in my coma.
Over the past five years, the well-dressed Mr. Cordero called “Mom” 520 times late at night to an online adult streamer.
He slept with my caregiver, a woman over ten years older than him.
He and his mistress even plotted beside my bed to steal my family’s wealth.
“Hang on a bit longer. Just two more doses of medicine, that old bastard from the Barkworth family dies and then the Barkworth Group will be ours.”
“Who would’ve thought that kidnapping was planned by Mr. Cordero himself, the man who claimed to love his wife?”
Would someone selfish really donate a kidney to me? Wiping my tears, I pulled out my phone to call my best friend overseas.
“Karina, I want a divorce,can you help me?”
——
I rarely ask for help, so Karina Grillard immediately knew something was wrong.
“Nichole, you just woke up. Please stay calm and tell me slowly.”
Remembering the words I’d overheard while unconscious, my heart ached.
Forcing my voice to stay steady, I said, “Help me leave the country and cancel all my documents too.”
“Nichole, why are you canceling your documents? Are you trying to abandon me? Don’t forget I donated my kidney to you. How can you leave me?”
Michael burst through the door. His face reddened with anger. I hung up and turned off my phone screen.
My expression was still calm as I replied, “Expired documents need to be renewed.”
Michael still didn’t believe me. He walked over and grabbed my phone to check, but found nothing suspicious.
