Finding Freedom in ReleaseChapter 1

On Valentine's Day, my wife, Hailey Anderson, and her male secretary were both sent to the hospital.

The doctor said it was carbon monoxide poisoning. They were found naked and fainted in the car together.

Fortunately, the passers-by found them in time and saved their lives.

When I arrived at the hospital, I had a mixed feeling.

A message Hailey sent me an hour ago was still on my phone.

[Honey, I'll come home and spend Valentine's Day with you as soon as the meeting ends.

[Wait for me! I swear that I will give you an unforgettable surprise!]

"Sir, are you a relative of the patient?"

"Sir?"

I came back to my senses, took a deep breath, and said to the doctor, "I'm not her family member. I'm just an ordinary friend."

The doctor asked again, "Do you know any of her family?"

I wrote down Hailey's father's number and left the hospital.

When I got home, I buried myself on the sofa and smoked all night.

Hailey and I had known each other for nine years.

The first time we met was at the entrance ceremony of our college.

She was wearing a white dress and playing the piano on the stage.
