After My Son Died, I Set My Husband Free1

My son, Matthew Wilson, died of a heart attack despite all efforts to save him. With his last breath, he longed to see his father.

I called his father, Daniel Wilson, crying and begging him to come to the hospital immediately.

Daniel's tone was impatient.

"Stop bothering me, I have something urgent tonight."

I watched as Matthew, eyes glued to the door, waited anxiously. Desperate, I called Daniel three more times.

He simply turned off his phone. At 2 AM, Matthew passed away with regret.

That night, I knelt beside Matthew's lifeless body, sleepless until dawn.

The next day, a news alert popped up on my phone.

"Wilson Group CEO splurges to throw a lavish birthday party for his first love, Isabella Davis."

My hands trembled as I texted Daniel.

[Was your urgent matter last night celebrating Isabella's birthday?]

As the staff handed Matthew's urn to me, my phone vibrated with a message from Daniel. His words were tender yet icy.

[I promised her I'd be there. I couldn't break my word.]

"Let's get a divorce."

Daniel was my dream man, leaving a significant mark on my youth.
