The second day after my husband left on a business trip, I suddenly felt dizzy at home and then lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed, and my mother was sitting beside me, looking at me with concern.
"Mom, what happened to me?"
I tried to sit up but found my body weak and without any strength.
"The doctor said you are malnourished and your body is too weak," my mother said softly, her eyes filled with worry.
I was full of questions. How could I be malnourished? I had always paid attention to my health.
"Mom, what exactly is going on?" I asked anxiously.
My mother shook her head. "The doctor didn't say much, just that you need to rest more and not overexert yourself."
I was filled with confusion, but my body wouldn't allow me to think too much.
After staying in the hospital for two days, I returned home. My husband still hadn't come back, so my mother decided to move in with me.
The next morning, while I was still asleep, the doorbell suddenly rang. My mother went to answer it.
"Hello, ma'am, I'm looking for Mr. Shen," a woman's voice sounded polite.
My mother thought it was a colleague of my husband’s and invited her in.
But the woman's next words froze my mother's smile.
"Ma'am, are you Mr. Shen's mother? You look so young!"
"I am his mother-in-law," my mother replied with a hint of pride in her voice.
But the woman's expression suddenly changed. "Oh, so you are the mother of that woman!" she said with a hint of mockery in her tone.
My mother didn't expect the woman to change her demeanor so quickly and stood there in shock.
"I'll tell you this: Shen Xu is now with me, and you'd better have your daughter divorce him quickly. Otherwise, I won't let you off easily!" the woman said fiercely.
When Mother heard this, her face turned pale, and her body swayed before she fainted. The woman saw this and let out a cold laugh before turning to leave.
...
At the hospital, Father comforted me, saying, "Child, this is not your fault." I looked at Mother lying on the hospital bed, filled with guilt. If it weren't for taking care of me, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
My husband rushed to the hospital after getting off the plane and held me tightly. "Don't worry, Mom will be fine," he said. I leaned against him, but my heart felt like a mix of emotions.
After Mother woke up, she couldn't speak due to the stroke and could only make muffled sounds. Father and I took turns caring for her while my husband remained busy with work.
When the doctor announced that Mother could be discharged, Father suggested taking her back to our hometown to relax. After seeing them off at the airport, I returned home to that empty house and resumed my life as a housewife.
Six months later, it was my birthday. It should have been a warm day; my husband got off work early and prepared a candlelit dinner for me himself. I sat at the dining table but felt an inexplicable unease.
The phone rang, breaking the brief silence. It was Father calling, and I could hear Mother's anxious and muffled voice on the other end: "Child... Shen... affair... home..." My heart tightened; although Mother's words were unclear, I understood.
After hanging up, I looked up at my husband, whose eyes were filled with confusion. "What's wrong? You don't look well," he said with concern in his voice. I stared at him coldly, anger burning inside me. "Do you know why Mom had a stroke?" He paused for a moment before asking, "Why?"
My voice was almost a roar.
"The woman outside has found her way home! My mom ran into her and got so angry that she had a stroke!"
My husband's face instantly turned pale. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
