Summary

My father was hit by a car. When I found the perpetrator, my wife, Jessie Ford, stepped out of the passenger seat with her clothes in disarray.

I stayed at the hospital to care for my father, yet Jessie stayed with the perpetrator at the police station while he was being questioned.

I refused to settle the case, and she picked up a thermos and struck my head. “He’s a lawyer. Do you want to ruin his career? What are you trying to do?”

I calmly wiped the blood from my forehead and looked at Jessie, who stood there flustered and slow to understand the situation.
