My Wife, Her Lover, and the Fool

Summary

I ran into a burning building to save my wife. The smoke inhalation left me with the mind of an eight-year-old.

But just as I’d grown completely dependent on her, I overheard her talking to Leo, the man she’d hired as my live-in caregiver.

“Just be patient,” she’d said, her voice a low murmur. “Ethan’s a simpleton now. Divorcing him at this stage would be a financial disaster for us.”
