Husband Demanded His Wife Sign Divorce Papers on the Hospital Bed—But He Didn’t Expect Who Would Be the One Abandoned…
The patient room on the 7th floor of a private hospital was unnervingly still. The heart monitor pulsed steadily, and sterile fluorescent lights cast a cold glow over Harley, who was just beginning to recover from thyroid surgery.
Still groggy from anesthesia, Harley slowly opened her eyes and saw her husband, Mark, standing at her bedside, holding a stack of documents.
“You’re up? Good. Sign this.”
His voice was flat, distant, and completely devoid of empathy.
Harley blinked, her mind foggy.
“What is that… what kind of document?”

Mark looked at her, taken aback.
“You… you’re really going to sign?”
“You said it yourself—it was only a matter of time.”
He handed her the pen. Her hand shook as she reached for it, but she slowly signed her name.
“That’s it. I wish you peace.”
“Thank you. I’ll return the agreed assets. Goodbye.”
Mark turned and walked out. The door clicked shut—far too gently.
