He heard his wife talking on the phone as he woke up from the coma and learned an unexpected secret.
James had spent five hard years in a coma following a serious accident. Despite the physicians’ lack of optimism, his wife paid him a visit every day and spent hours at his side.
Then James woke up one day. However, he was unable to communicate because his body was still weak from the lack of activity. He was mindful of everything around him, yet all he could do was listen in silence.
He heard a discussion between his wife and the doctor that day. They thought he was still in a severe coma, and they didn’t even notice that he had opened his eyes for a few seconds.
How long will he be in the coma? “Should I brace myself for the worst?” his wife inquired curiously.
“His condition is stable for now, but it’s better not to have too much hope,” the doctor said calmly, as usual.
The doctor then departed, but James’s wife remained in the room. James heard her talking at that moment, still half-conscious.
“I revised the will… The restaurant will be ours, once he… is gone.”
James was horrified by this revelation, but instead of admitting that he had woken up from the coma, here’s what he did.
Paralyzed, James realized the awful truth: his wife wanted him dead so she could take his inheritance.
Anger swelled within him as he fought to piece together the bits of memory from the disaster.
He said that the morning of the event, a restaurant staff had given him a warning, but he had not heeded it.
He almost lost his life in an automobile accident a few hours later.
With the assistance of a nurse, James listened in silence, prepared to come back to life, while his wife continued to act as a distraught widow.
The nurse assisted him in making a covert escape under the cover of darkness.
He shocked his wife at home while she was having a talk with her lover.
She tried to mask her disbelief, but James knew everything.
Authorities swiftly stepped in and arrested his wife and her lover for attempted murder and fraud after he confronted her.
James was determined to go on, so he took over his restaurant.
