My Husband Checked His Mistress Into the Hospital Where I Work
It was my first day at the new job, and of course, they assigned me a night shift right
away.
fo
I had always worked at public hospitals, but a few weeks ago, I got an offer from a
private one. The salary was hard to resist, and in the end, I couldn’t say no. I decided to
make the switch.
At this new hospital, my salary had increased several times over, and the work was a bit
easier, too.
I’d been married for almost two years, and with a less stressful, higher–paying job, I thought it would be easier for us to start trying for a baby.
I couldn’t help but laugh when I thought about how Nathaniel, my husband, spent his
time watching videos of cute little kids all day.
He loved kids, so I figured having one wouldn’t be so bad.
Even though his financial situation wasn’t exactly great, my income made up for that.
In a marriage, there was no need to worry about who earned more. We both contributed
what we could. If one of us made less, the other just picked up more of the household
duties. I had always been pretty laid–back about it.
Once I finished my night shift, I planned to tell Nathaniel the good news. I was sure he’d
be over the moon.
By midnight, I was getting a bit sleepy, but I grabbed my chart and went to start my
rounds.
When I reached the door of one of the private rooms, I heard some strange noises coming from inside.
I shook my head, feeling a bit exasperated, and decided to skip that room, thinking I’d
check it later.
But just as I turned to walk away, I heard voices.

“You need to get your health back on track if you want to get pregnant soon!”
The voice made me stop dead in my tracks.
It was Nathaniel’s voice.
His voice was rough, and there weren’t many people who sounded like him, so I recognized it immediately.
“Come on, let me rest for a couple of days, and I’ll make sure we have that healthy baby of yours soon enough!”
A sweet, almost sickly voice followed, and I knew right away it was a woman’s voice.
“Besides, you’re still married. Me getting pregnant right now would be… a bit complicated, don’t you think? Who would want to have a baby with no proper standing?”
she added.
That was all I needed to hear. This woman was definitely a mistress.
At that moment, I wasn’t thinking about finishing my rounds anymore. I just wanted to barge in and see if Nathaniel was really in there.
If it was him, well, things were about to get very interesting.
But instead of pushing the door open, I went straight to the nurse’s station, pulled up the surveillance footage, and checked the hallway.
As expected, earlier that day, Nathaniel had walked in carrying a basket of fruit, and he hadn’t come out since.
That was all I needed to know. I had been completely betrayed.
I never expected that changing hospitals would lead to something like this. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
I walked past the room, finished my rounds, and returned to the office.

I sat down, feeling dizzy and confused.
Nathaniel and I hadn’t known each other long, but we’d always gotten along well. When I was busy at the hospital, he took care of everything at home. I never had to worry about a thing.
Up until now, I had thought we were perfect for each other–he was an amazing husband, and I couldn’t imagine him cheating. I never even considered the possibility of falling for anyone else.
But now, everything felt like a cruel joke.
We met at the hospital when he came in for his regular check–up, and I had just finished a surgery when we bumped into each other in the hallway. It was love at first sight.
Who would have thought that this wonderful guy, the husband I always bragged about, could actually cheat?
I felt numb. Exhaustion hit me hard, and before I realized it, I fell asleep.
The next morning, my colleague came in for the handover, and I automatically asked about the patient in bed 305.
“Oh, you mean Isabelle Lane? She lost her baby because of being too active during her pregnancy. We found out she’s had lost a few babies. After the D&C, her chances of getting pregnant again are practically zero,” my colleague said.
My heart sank when I heard that.
She had lost a few babies?
Could it be that all of them were Nathaniel’s?
I couldn’t shake the thought as I went to finish my last round for the day.
When I entered room 305, Isabelle seemed shocked at first.
But she quickly masked her expression and gave me a mocking look.

When I entered room 305, Isabelle seemed shocked at first.
But she quickly masked her expression and gave me a mocking look.
“Dr. Hale, you look so exhausted. Didn’t get enough sleep last night?”
I didn’t feel like answering, so I stayed silent.
There was no rule that said I had to respond to every patient’s questions.
Isabelle stared at me for a moment before deliberately saying, “A woman as beautiful as
you, your husband must adore you, right?”
I didn’t react, but I could tell by the way she spoke that she knew exactly who I was.
Otherwise, how would she have known so much and why was she showing me such obvious hostility?
“Why are you so quiet? I really like you. You’re so pretty. If I were your husband, I’d never cheat on you. You’d be the luckiest woman in the world.”
I wasn’t affected by her words. They were clearly meant to provoke me. Had I not known
the truth, I might have laughed it off.
But after everything I’d learned, I just felt disgusted.
“After losing a baby, you need to rest. Losing a few babies can cause infertility. Women
need to take better care of themselves,” I said coldly and then turned and walked away.
I didn’t know whose children Isabelle had lost, and I couldn’t expect Nathaniel to come clean at the hospital.
When I finished my rounds and was about to leave, I was about to open the door when I bumped into Nathaniel himself.
He was holding a glass container with some cut–up fruit in it.
He looked worn out, like he hadn’t slept well.

clean at the hospital.
When I finished my rounds and was about to leave, I was about to open the door when I bumped into Nathaniel himself.
He was holding a glass container with some cut–up fruit in it.
He looked worn out, like he hadn’t slept well.
We stood there in front of room 305, and I could see the panic in his eyes the moment he
saw me.
“How did you end up here?” I frowned as I asked, closing the door to Room 305 behind
- me.
No matter what, I didn’t want Isabelle to see me as a joke.
When Nathaniel heard my question, a look of unease crossed his face.
“I’m just visiting a friend,” he said, forcing a smile as he explained.
I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, “Visiting a friend, huh? Do you really need to bring cut fruit for that? Is she a friend or your girlfriend?”
It struck me as ridiculous. Even though I thought Nathaniel loved me, he had never once taken the time to cut fruit for me. Yet, this other woman was treated entirely differently. How was I supposed to feel at ease about that?
Nathaniel, clearly irritated by my words, shot me a frustrated glance. “What are you implying? Do you think I’m lying to you? I’m just visiting a friend. It’s not something I want to make public, so I didn’t mention it to you.”
He looked at me, visibly agitated, shaking his head in disbelief. “If you really think I’d
even know what to say!”
cheat on you, then I don’t
With that, he didn’t stick around any longer. He turned and stormed off, looking like he was hurt and offended.
I felt confused. It was almost as if he was embarrassed about being caught and was now
angry because of it.

I felt confused. It was almost as if he was embarrassed about being caught and was now angry because of it.
That evening, Nathaniel didn’t come home, probably wanting to avoid me for a while.
I couldn’t be bothered to engage with him. At that point, all I could feel was a deep sense
of frustration.
I had enough evidence now to prove he was cheating, and while I was ready to divorce
him, I wasn’t sure I could let go of the years we’d spent together.
After thinking it over, I decided not to make a move just yet. I would give him one more
chance.
If he could come to his senses, maybe I could pretend none of this ever happened.
The next day at work, Nathaniel even brought me lunch.
I didn’t make it easy for him–gave him no acknowledgment at all–but he still kept at it for days, bringing me lunch and chatting briefly before leaving to “go back to work“.
But the security footage told a different story. He wasn’t going back to work. He was meeting up with Isabelle again.
Initially, I wanted to forgive him, to give him that chance. But now, after everything, I was just beyond done with him.
Every time I went to check on patients, I had to see Isabelle’s smug face.
She would taunt me with little remarks.
“Dr. Hale, do you want some of this? It’s the fruit my man personally cut for me!”
“Dr. Hale, how about some fresh juice? My man went out and bought it just for me!”
I knew she was doing this on purpose, trying to get under my skin.
But I wasn’t about to waste my time on her. If they kept this up, though, I would have no
choice but to file for divorce.
