“I’m sorry” the doctor. “There’s nothing we can do for him”
“But…you haven’t even tried” Zoey said trembling. “You can’t just leave without trying. You’re a doctor for God’s sake! Help him!”
She attacked the doctor and he let her slap him. The nurse came forward and pulled Zoey away.
“The pathologist will be here in a minute” the doctor said. “I’m really sorry”
The medical staff packed up their things and left. A few minutes later, Zoey hadn’t moved an inch, a few man in white costumes came in her room. Apparently the man next door, who had a key of the house for emergency cases, had let them in.
“Ma’am? I need to ask you move a little. We need to wrap up the body” one of them said.
“I…I don’t get it” Zoey said. She wasn’t crying anymore. “I know he was upset about the divorce, but I didn’t think he was going to do this”
“Maybe it helps if you read this”
Zoey looked up. One of the men in white reached out an envelope and Zoey accepted. “I found it on the pedestal cupboard” he said.
While the pathologists carried the body outside Zoey opened the envelope.
“Dear Zoey,
I need you to know that this is not what I wanted. I wanted a happy life with you and our daughter. At first it all seemed to work out for us, but then Daphne started requiring your attention and you being the person you are you just couldn’t say no to her. But you said no to us and I could tell it tore you up inside. Not being with me, not being with Alex. I thought that when you put Daphne into the clinic things would be different. But she got out and you made a choice. You chose her. Congratulate her from me. She’s won. I really pray that someday you will open your eyes and see her for what she really is. A jealous, selfish, delusional bitch”
Zoey put the letter in the envelope and bursted into tears again.
