My Husband Ignored His Grandmother's Life for His First Love1
On the day I went to the next city on a business trip, my husband Daniel Barber's childhood crush Julia Clark went back to the country.
Late at night, I received a call from Grandma. She heard weakly and said she fell while cooking, asking me when I could come back to take her to the hospital.
I was so anxious that I hurriedly called Daniel, hoping he could take Grandma to the hospital.
On the phone, Daniel sounded impatient, "Enough. I told you not to call my personal phone when I'm in a meeting."
After hanging up the phone, I had no choice but to postpone the project and drive home overnight.
On the way, I suddenly saw Julia posted a moment on Instagram, with a picture of a nine-layer cake, the candlelight reflecting Daniel's side face vaguely, and there was a text below.
[On the day I returned to the country, I thought I would celebrate my birthday alone, but your appearance filled my life with light.]

Just as I arrived home, I saw Grandma lying motionless on the kitchen floor, with a long bloodstain behind her.
