He Led the Rescue Astray

Summary

My adoptive mother disappeared in the national forest.

My husband, a park ranger, took only a few seconds to start searching in the completely opposite direction.

When I realized his mistake, I stumbled through the brush, rushing to the front of the search party to point them the right way.

But he just shoved me aside.

"Are you the ranger, or am I? My gut is never wrong!"

It wasn't until he returned from that wrong path, carrying another woman on his back, that I understood. As his old flame, Mina, threw herself into his arms, sobbing with relief, the truth hit me.
