A man regained consciousness in ICU, heard his wife's shocking phone call and pretended to be dead

foreign [Music] walked down the long hallway that abruptly ended with a door appearing in front of him a bright flash of light caused him to squint and he heard a loud noise in his ears then a booming voice told him you're going to start over don't waste your time Tony felt a forceful push and suddenly returned to his body feeling disoriented by the experience in a familiar but strange place Tony struggled to regain Consciousness and opened his eyes but he felt he couldn't control his muscles to do that as his senses slowly returned to him

he began to recognize familiar sounds and finally he heard the voice of his beloved wife Jesse her voice was like music to his ears and he felt a wave of emotions watch over him as he realized he was back in the world of the living despite feeling weak and disoriented Tony's heart was filled with joy and relief all he wanted at that moment was to hold his wife in his arms and tell her how much he loved her he longed to assure her that he was back alive and right by her side once again he

could move his limbs or say something as Tony slowly opened his eyes he was met with an unfamiliar room he could see medical equipment surrounding the bed with tubes connected to his body the room was silent except for the beeping of the machines he couldn't see anyone in the room and he felt a sense of emptiness Tony's mind began to fill with questions how did he end up in a hospital bed how long had he been there what had happened to him he couldn't recall anything about his past or his present circumstances as he lay

there Tony felt a sense of confusion and disorientation he wanted to call out to his wife to let her know he was awake and needed her but he was too weak to do so instead he lay there listening to her voice taking comfort in the fact that she was nearby she was speaking loudly and he could hear her words clearly although he was unsure about the distance between him and his wife it felt like she was not too far away from him do I have to be on the D to inherit the property Tony heard

his wife and was confused by her words wondering what she meant I think he's done I'm telling you I spoke to the doctor not long ago his wife was speaking to someone on the phone Tony began to hear strange noises in his head again they were familiar yet foreign like a distant memory that he couldn't quite place he felt the sense of unease as the noises grew louder and more persistent filling his mind with a jumbled mix of sounds and Sensations but then he heard his wife's voice again Tony's heart sank as he listened it

became clear to him that she was discussing his properties and it seemed like she was trying to find a way to take ownership of them without waiting for them to be passed down through inheritance he felt a surge of anger and betrayal and a lump formed in his throat Tony struggled to swallow as he tried to process what he had just heard his throat felt dry and Scratchy and he had to take a few deep breaths to steady himself he felt a deep sense of hurt and disappointment that his wife would be so calculating and

selfish despite the pain he felt Tony knew he needed to stay calm and clear-headed he couldn't let his emotions get the best of him he took a deep breath and tried to steady his nerves knowing that he would need to confront his wife about what he had heard Tony's throat was dry and parched and he desperately longed for a sip of water but he felt weak and helpless unable to move or speak on his own he lay there staring up at the ceiling feeling trapped and alone he tried to call out for help but his

voice was barely a whisper Tony realized that he would need to rely on the help of others to get through this difficult time he waited patiently for a nurse or doctor to come to his Aid hoping that someone would notice his distress and offer him some relief Tony felt a wave of shock and disbelief wash over him as he continued to hear his wife's words it was clear to him that she was talking to someone else and the reference to his return made it all the more apparent that she was referring to him Tony lay

there in silence contemplating his next move he knew that he couldn't trust his wife or anyone else who might be involved in the scheme to take over his property he had to be cautious and strategic if he was going to reclaim what was rightfully his Tony decided that he would not reveal to anyone that he had regained Consciousness he would wait and watch gathering information and trying to uncover the truth Jesse's voice abruptly halted the noises emanating from the hallway she appeared to be putting on the show feigning tears and pleading with a doctor for

information doctor she implored please tell me how much longer will he have to endure the suffering a young voice of the doctor responded with words of encouragement urging Jesse to remain hopeful and Trust in the best possible outcome please pray for your husband we've done everything we could you can go home for now we will notify you of any changes in your husband's condition yeah please keep me informed Jesse requested before striding away the clacking of her high heels echoing through the hallway as the doctor entered the room she immediately began interacting with the medical

equipment pushing various buttons and checking the readouts in a quiet murmur she muttered to herself she can't wait for him to be buried alive what if the poor guy survives she wondered despite everyone's expectations Tony attempted to speak but found that his tongue seemed to cling to the roof of his mouth making it difficult to form words instead a strange incomprehensible sound emerged from his lips and he made a feeble attempt to open his eyes when the doctor noticed it her face immediately broke into a smile that's exactly what I'm talking about the doctor said

and quickly walked away the doctor returned to Tony's room accompanied by several colleagues they proceeded to conduct a thorough examination taking blood samples and connecting various pieces of equipment to monitor his vital signs as they worked the group engaged in prolonged discussion sharing their observations and insights about Tony's condition eventually everyone except for a young nurse Departed the room leaving her to attend to Tony's immediate needs the nurse gently placed a damp cotton swab to Tony's lips and he eagerly opened his mouth desperate for a sip of water with great effort he began to suck

on the swab hoping to absorb as much moisture as possible I'm sorry but you can't have water just yet the young nurse spoke Softly As she noticed Tony's eagerness for the swab that's why I'm moistening your lips with a swab just hang in there a little longer sir you're a strong man she added offering words of encouragement and support to Tony Tony managed to let out a faint plea call the doctor call the doctor he repeated urgently the nurse quickly hurried out of the room and returned with the doctor each word that Tony spoke seemed

to cause him great pain and it was evident that he was struggling to get his message across please he implored don't tell my wife anything she must not know the doctor and the nurse quickly reassured Tony understanding his request don't worry Mr Hawkins the doctor replied we won't tell her anything with great pleasure actually we understand what you're trying to say and we won't say anything to her they both urged Tony to focus on the resting and taking care of himself assuring him that he was in good hands and that they would do everything possible

to support him during this difficult time the doctor and the nurse left the room and Tony could hear their muffled conversation in the hallway he strained to listen as the doctor spoke to the nurse her words carrying a mix of sadness and frustrating Nation I wouldn't allow her near him the doctor expressed with a hint of concern in her voice she constantly asks me about his chances that's just not right her voice trailed off and Tony could sense the depth of her emotions Tony was deeply touched by her words she knew that he was fortunate

to have such dedicated and compassionate medical professionals caring for him after a few moments the nurse returned to Tony's room with a dropper in her hand we're going to continue feeding you through your veins she explained gently as she prepared to administer the medication Tony nodded weekly grateful for the Nurse's reassuring presence Jesse's words continued to Echo in Tony's mind causing him to feel a deep sense of hurt and betrayal how could she he thought to himself how could I have missed that she was cheating on me behind my back Tony couldn't believe that the

person he had trusted and loved for so many years could have been deceiving him all along after all he reflected I've been giving my all for the family I've been doing doing everything I could to make her happy he thought about all the sacrifices he had made over the years putting his own needs and desires aside in order to support her and yet despite his efforts it seemed that Jesse had been unfaithful and deceitful Tony felt a surge of anger and disbelief as he thought about his wife's callous Behavior despite all that he had done

for her over the years she seemed more concerned with his money than with his well-being I never limited her in money he thought bitterly I let her live the life she wanted to live and now when I've been in an accident she's not even sad she's just thinking about how to take advantage of me Tony wanted to scream to confront her and to tell her how wrong she was he longed to remind her that he was still alive and that she wouldn't get anything after the divorce after a few days of receiving treatment Tony began

to feel much better when the doctor came in to check on him he couldn't help but Express his gratitude thank you he said I'm doing bad better with your prayers the doctor whose name was Gloria smiled and blushed slightly at the compliment she had been working tirelessly and spent long hours sitting with Tony and chatting with him about everything from his health to his personal life over time the two had developed a friendly report and Gloria was happy to see Tony on demand that's awesome to hear she said smiling wormly we're all rooting for you

man Hey listen I'm not allowed to keep it a secret from your wife you're being moved to another room tomorrow and then the doctor couldn't finish when Tony interrupted I know what you mean well I guess I'm gonna have to face her I'm not really ready for a fight though but I heard what she said Tony said and couldn't continue because he felt a lump in his throat thinking about it yeah I heard it too I just can't wrap my head around it how could she be so cruel to her own husband the doctor said

well it doesn't matter anymore I'm gonna divorce her anyway when I get on my feet Tony said as Jesse sat in her living room anxiously awaiting news from the hospital her mind began to race in her heart despite the overwhelming fear that gripped her she found herself secretly hoping for the worst possible outcome with a sense of urgency and worry Jesse rushed to the hospital and headed straight to the Intensive Care Unit I need information about Mr Hawkins condition she pleaded with the nurse hoping to get some news I can't bear to see my husband

in pain anymore she said her voice trembling with emotion how much longer will he have to endure this Jesse put on a show of mourning and sadness despite feeling little genuine emotion the nurse reviewed her records as Jesse waited anxiously after a few moments of Silence the nurse's expression changed and she looked crestfallen I'm sorry to have to tell you this but according to our records Mr Tony Hawkins didn't make it she said softly her voice heavy was sympathy I'm so sorry for your loss Jesse felt a sense of relief but she tried to keep

her emotions under control and not reveal her inner thoughts she made an attempt to cry a little by covering her face with her Palms before hastily leaving the building Tony stood by the window observing his wife as she chatted on the phone with a wide grin he felt a Burning Anger inside him and he realized it was time to confront her without wasting a moment he hurried to find a doctor I need to get discharged I need to go home Tony said are you out of your mind Mr Hawkins you were transferred from the ICU

this morning and you want to get going already the doctor was confused I understand but it's urgent I can't stay here I gotta finish something really important I promise I'll be back as soon as I get it resolved I have to get going I'm gonna run away from you try to stop me so please let me go Tony was breathing heavily he was seething with anger as he sat in the taxi urging the driver to hurry up as soon as he arrived home he noticed an unfamiliar man walking around the house and nothing but his

boxers Tony cautiously approached the window and eavesdropped on the conversation the man was boasting to someone on the phone we're gonna remove the fireplace and install a top-of-the-line sound system in its place it's gonna be amazing Tony silently turned a doorknob and slipped into the house he stealthily made his way through the hallway and cautiously entered the living room excuse me may I come in Tony asked as he stepped into the living room addressing the man in his boxers Jesse's complexion turned Ashen in a matter of seconds she was struck with disbelief and stared at

Tony as if he were a ghost at that moment she wished it were actually a ghost she was seeing Tony you how is this possible she stuttered barely able to comprehend the situation shut up Tony spat through gritted teeth cutting her off Tony gave a cold laugh save your fake tears for someone who cares I know you wanted me dead but unfortunately for you I'm very much alive now get your things and leave you're not welcome here anymore and I see you found a quick replacement huh Tony said with a smirk get the hell out

and by the way you're getting nothing after divorce I promise Tony was Furious Tony felt a wave of nausea wash over him the thought of spending the rest of his life with Jesse the woman he had once loved so deeply now made him feel sick to his stomach he couldn't believe that he had trusted her so completely only to find out that she had moved on to another man so quickly after his supposed death Tony couldn't help but feel a Pang of regret as he thought about all the plans they had made together the dream

of starting a family raising kids together and growing old with one another Tony asked workers to change the locks in the house and not let anyone in while he was away in the hospital he returned to the hospital as promised the accident that almost took his life had turned out to be a blessing in disguise it had opened his eyes to the reality of his marriage and allowed him to make a clean break Tony spent two weeks in the hospital Gloria often came by and they talked a lot it helped Tony get well faster after

Tony was released from the hospital he had to go through the process of getting a divorce as anticipated Jesse wanted her fair share of the business which she claimed they built together however she was unaware that the business was burdened with a substantial loan when she learned about the loan she refused to take any of her chairs during the divorce proceedings she sent her full thanks to Tony that he never thought he would hear from her but Tony appeared unaffected because Jesse was like an empty void to him now sometime later Tony remembered Gloria from

the hospital after all he never even thanked her for believing that he would make it he bought a bouquet of flowers and drove to the hospital the nurse told Tony that Gloria was operating on someone at the moment as he waited Tony couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over him he remembered the times he spent in the hospital after the accident and how Gloria was always there to comfort him he realized that he had developed a special bond with her and that he missed her company Gloria finally emerged from the operating room

Tony's heart skipped a beat as he saw her approaching him she looked just as beautiful as you remembered Tony what are you doing here Gloria asked surprise to see him I just wanted to thank you for everything you did for me Tony replied handing her the bouquet of flowers glorious face lit up with a smile you don't have to do that but thank you I'm glad to see you're doing well Tony and Gloria talked for a while catching up on each other's lives to Tony Aston and timid tone would you like to have dinner together

tonight if you're busy that's okay too Gloria grinned mischievously and replied I'm never too busy for food especially in good company dinner it is Tony felt a connection with Gloria that he had never felt with anyone else before after that night they started seeing each other more often they went on dates watched movies and even took trips together Tony realized that he had found something special with Gloria something that he had been searching for his entire life eventually Tony asked Gloria to marry him she said yes and they started planning their wedding it was a

beautiful ceremony filled with friends and family who had watched Tony go through the ups and downs of life now he had found true love and happiness with Gloria as they danced at their reception Tony looked into Gloria's eyes and knew that he had made the right decision he had gone through a terrible accident a painful divorce and a long recovery but all of it had led him to this moment to the love of his life years later as they sat on their porch watching the sunset Tony thought about everything that had happened to him he

realized that the accident the divorce and even the loan had all been blessings in Disguise they had led him to Gloria to the love that he had always wanted as he held glorious hand Tony smiled and knew that he was exactly where he was meant to be but the person he was meant to be with
