My Mother's Last Words Are to Set You FreeChapter 1 I Want to Divorce You
My mother, Elizabeth Parker, had a severe illness. My childhood friend, Benjamin Harris, wanted to become a doctor and vowed to cure Elizabeth's rheumatoid arthritis.
Later, I became Benjamin's wife. Benjamin became Elizabeth's attending physician.
But when Elizabeth had a heart attack in the hospital, she struggled to press the emergency bell all night. But Benjamin, who said he studied medicine for Elizabeth, didn't come.
When I arrived at the hospital with the croissant Elizabeth loved, her fingers clutching the call button were already stiff.
The following day, Benjamin came late. He was holding a nurse in his arms, Olivia Smith. Benjamin said to Olivia, "If your mother is ill in the future, I will be there whenever she calls. My purpose of studying medicine is to protect our families."
I took away all of Elizabeth's belongings and gave Benjamin a divorce agreement.
Benjamin and Olivia stopped me.
When I returned to the ward and dealt with Elizabeth's belongings, it was already dawn.
I fell to the ground and looked at the half-open duty room. There was still no one inside.
