At first, the hospital tried to throw out a lame statement, saying they were
investigating and would release the results to the public soon.
But no one was buying it. The outrage only grew louder, dragging the hospital’s reputation down the drain.
Folks online were calling it a safe haven for cheaters and homewreckers.
In the end, the hospital was forced to announce Marcus’s suspension, hoping it would calm everyone down.
They really thought a simple suspension was gonna cut it. But netizens saw right through that.
A suspension meant he could come back. And folks weren’t about to let that happen.
No one wanted a creep like him back in a white coat.

The flood of comments just kept coming. Their website couldn’t even handle it–it crashed.
That’s when someone thought to call the director personally. And once that started, it spiraled out of control. I tried dialing the number myself, but his phone had already been turned off.
An hour later, Marcus had no choice but to create an account and post his own resignation letter.
It was his only post, but it was
screenshotted and spread across every platform.
Only then did the issue started to die down.
Around the same time, the cops released their final report. Vivian had intentionally caused harm with no remorse and was facing up to 10 years in prison.
On top of that, she owed me 50, 000 in damages for medical and emotional compensation.

As I stepped out of the police station with the verdict in hand, Marcus pulled up in his car, looking completely out of it.
He tried to act casual, like everything was fine, offering, “Let me drive you home. I’ve got time now…”
He thought I didn’t know he’d quit.
I just shot him down. “Don’t bother. You never drove me anywhere in the past five years, so why would I need a ride now that we’re done? I can manage.”
His hand froze mid–air, and I could see the despair in his eyes. It was like, at that moment, he finally realized what he’d done over the past five years–ignoring the family, lying to me, treating me like an afterthought.
All the neglect had completely drained me of any feeling I had left.
I didn’t even look at him as I hailed a cab. The only thing I left him with?

“See you at the County Clerk’s Office tomorrow. Let’s get this divorce done.”
I didn’t want to go back to our place or pack anything up. I couldn’t stand looking at anything that reminded me of him.
That night, I went back to my old place, the little apartment I had before we got
married.
It was small, but it gave me shelter. And for the first time in ages, I slept like a rock.
The next day, I showed up at the County Clerk’s Office, and there he was, standing there like a fool. He was holding a bouquet of flowers like it was some grand gesture.
I took one look and sighed. “I’m allergic to flowers,” I said.
He looked totally confused. “But five years. ago, you weren’t-”
Right, five years ago, when he proposed, I told him I wanted flowers.
Even though I was allergic, I still wanted

But in the end? I got nothing.
And now? I didn’t want anything from him
anymore.
I walked right past him and into the building.
But he scrambled to toss the flowers aside. and follow me.
When I finally held that divorce certificate, I felt like I could breathe again. It was
really over. Those five insane done!

He tried one last time, offering to drive me home, but I shut that down real quick.
“Don’t bother contacting me again. We don’t have kids, so we’re done. No strings attached.”
Before he could get another word out, I was already in a cab.
There was no way I was going back to that

Never seeing him again?
That was my last act of mercy.
