My Father-in-Law Died While My Wife Was with Her First Love

He pushed my hand away and held Grace tightly in his arms.

"You hurt Grace, didn't you? Don't you realize that?"

"I told you, there's nothing between us anymore. Why can't you just believe me?"

I was too tired to argue, so I simply punched him down to the ground and pulled my wife away.

"Our family matters are none of your business."

Ethan lay on the bed, groaning in pain.

Upon hearing this, my wife immediately slapped me, breaking free from my hold, and rushed over to Ethan, her face filled with worry. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. He's just jealous that I might take you away from him." Ethan pretended to clutch his chest, gasping for air. "I can take a few hits; it's nothing. Just don't let this ruin your relationship."

Seeing Ethan act this way made my wife completely panic. She frantically checked on him all over.

"Are you okay? Is it your heart condition acting up again?"

"How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong?"

Seeing Ethan act this way made me laugh.

Her own father was fighting for his life in the hospital, and here she was, fussing over a man who was clearly faking it.

"I'm really okay, Grace," Ethan coughed a few times for effect. "Your husband thinks we're too close, and I understand his jealousy. We should see each other less from now on."

"Please, don't let me be the reason for any issues between you two!"

I looked at him, smirking sarcastically.

"You're not even convincing at this point!"

"Who has a heart on the right side?"

At this, Ethan's face turned pale, clearly embarrassed.

But it only lasted a second before he composed himself, casually explaining, "It's just that I'm in so much pain that I can't pinpoint where it hurts. If you don't believe me, that's fine; no need to mock me."

Grace held him tightly, her expression showing clear concern. She turned to me and shouted, "Shut up!"

"Is this how you treat him when he's already in this state? How can you be so heartless?"

"I told you, there's nothing between us! Why can't you just believe me? You're the one making a scene here!"

"I'll tell you this: if anything happens to Ethan, I'll divorce you!"
