Forsaken Bonds

My wife's childhood guy best friend came back to the country. He raised a toast to me, thanking me for taking care of her.

I turned him down, but my wife blamed me for embarrassing him.

To punish me, she stopped our daughter's treatment and demanded I kneel and apologize to her childhood friend.

That night, our daughter's condition got worse.

I held her as her body kept twitching, calling my wife over and over.

But I could never get through.

In my arms, our daughter's body grew colder.

Meanwhile, her childhood friend posted a picture of them looking cozy on his social media.
