Diana was getting ready to say goodbye to her husband at the hospital, which was a very painful process. It is your right to be able to get accurate knowledge. A stranger walked up to her and whispered the horrible words, \u201cPut a hidden camera in his room.\u201d At the time, she was having a hard time accepting the fact that he only had a few weeks to live.\n\n\n\n

I never thought my life would end in the hallway of a hospital. \u201cStage four cancer\u2026metastasized,\u201d the doctor said, and those words stuck in my mind like a death warning. He\u2019s going to die in a few weeks.After getting the news, I lost all hope for Eric and my future together. After 15 years of marriage, there were only a few days left. When the golden band was on my ring, it felt heavy, like it was full of memories of better times. Among these were our first dance together, the quiet coffee we drank in the morning, and the time he stroked my hair when I was upset.\n\n\n\n

As I watched other families go by, my stomach began to turn. There were people who were crying, people who were laughing, and people who were stuck in that strange place between hope and despair. I knew I had to leave before things went completely crazy.\n\n\n\n

As I stumbled through the automatic doors, the air felt like it was lightly touching my face in late September. I was a little surprised by the feeling. I used my legs to get to a bench near the door, but when I got there, I fell down instead of sitting down. The long, wavy shadows that the setting sun cast across the hospital grounds showed me how much pain I was feeling inside.\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s when she came.\n\n\n\n

She did not seem very interesting at first. In her late forties, she looked like any other nurse. She wore blue scrubs. Her tired eyes looked like they were reflecting something.\n\n\n\n

She wore shoes that were good for people who spend a lot of time on their feet and pulled her silver-streaked hair back into a bun. The person really looks good in her shoes. And she sat down next to me without asking. It was both annoying and comfortable to have her there.\n\n\n\n

He needs to have a hidden camera put in his room, she said softly. \u201cHe is not terminal.\u201d\n\n\n\n

The words hurt like a scald from a hot shower. \u201cPardon me?\u201d There is not much time left for my boyfriend to live. The medical doctors agreed with it. How brazen are you?\n\n\n\n

She looked right at me and said, \u201cBelieving is seeing.\u201d \u201cI work at this place evenings.\u201d What\u2019s going on is very clear to me. Some parts don\u2019t make sense with the rest. You have the right to know the truth, so I\u2019ll tell you anything.\n\n\n\n

Before I could answer, she got up and left, going through the hospital doors like a ghost. I still don\u2019t know what happened.\n\n\n\n

That night, I\u2019m in bed, and my mind is going fast. Eric\u2019s memories of the day he was labeled were directly at odds with what the stranger said, which he said over and over again. I could feel the doctor\u2019s pain in his face as he told me the bad news. He had my hand in his.\n\n\n\n
The thing she said, \u201cHe is not dying,\u201d wasn\u2019t clear. On the other hand, the idea seemed impossible to achieve, but the question never went away. When I put in my credit card information, my hands were shaking because I had just ordered a small camera online for fast delivery the next morning.\n\n\n\n
Early the next morning, I sneaked into his room while Eric was getting checked out by the doctor.\n\n\n\n
It was shaking while I put the small camera on the ledge among the lilies and roses in the vase. Though every move I made hurt, I knew that a greater power was pulling me forward.\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d I said, but I wasn\u2019t sure if it was to Eric or to myself. Which person I was sorry to wasn\u2019t known to me.\n\n\n\n
After a little more than an hour, Eric went back to bed. He looked a little pale and sad. He looked more fragile and small in his hospital clothes. He asked, \u201cWhere were you?\u201d with a shaking voice.\n\n\n\n
During the whole talk, I lied and said, \u201cI\u2019m just getting a coffee.\u201d \u201cWhat happened with the scan?\u201d\n\n\n\n
As he turned over in bed, the blankets made a small rustling sound. He was in a lot of pain. \u201cExhausting.\u201d Things are getting worse. I just need some time to rest and get better.\n\n\n\n
I said \u201cyes\u201d while holding his hand. Once you say \u201ccertainly,\u201d you can blow off steam.\n\n\n\n
I went home that night and made sure Eric was as comfy as he could be. Then I laid down on my bed. When I went to the camera stream and the blue light from my laptop hit my face, my heart was beating so fast that I could feel it in my throat. The flash from the camera made my face go blind.\n\n\n\n
There was nothing going on for hours. I felt stupid for listening to a stranger while nurses came and went while Eric slept.\n\n\n\n
After that, things changed a lot when nine o\u2019clock came around.\n\n\n\n
A female patient came into the room through the open door. She was tall, but she looked beautiful in her leather coat and was sure of herself. What happened next made my blood freeze. As she walked to Eric\u2019s bed, the light hit her dark hair because it was styled so well.\n\n\n\n
My husband Eric sat up with his back straight even though it looked like he was \u201cdying.\u201d What was found didn\u2019t need any work. Not at all painful. He looked like he was happy. an unusual kind of happiness on the man\u2019s face who was getting close to the end of his life.\n\n\n\n
He got up and gently hugged her. He wasn\u2019t weak at all. To do this, he swung his legs over the side of the bed. During their kiss, my wedding band burned on my finger, which hurt a lot.\n\n\n\n
I wasn\u2019t able to record the sound of their conversation because the camera missed their natural and friendly body language. This broke my heart as I watched them both.\n\n\n\n

He carefully hid the papers she gave him under his mattress until she came back and gave them to him. Because they seemed to have very important goals, I was interested in what those goals were.\n\n\n\n
As I walked back to Eric\u2019s room the next morning, my chest tightened when I realized I shouldn\u2019t have known the private details. He was back to being human, which meant he was pale, weak, and couldn\u2019t keep his balance.\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cGood morning, my love,\u201d and then he reached for the water glass with hands that were just barely shaking. \u201cUnfortunate evening.\u201d The pain is getting worse.\n\n\n\n
I was going to yell at him and grab him by the collar to get him to explain what was going to happen. Instead, I smiled, and my face felt like it was made of broken glass. \u201cI\u2019m sorry to hear that. Regarding your help, is there anything I can do?\u201d\n\n\n\n
I could see him doing a great job with his role while he was shaking his head. How many times had I cried myself to sleep because I was so sure this was real? How many times had I prayed for a miracle through the night, knowing that he was probably working with his lover, whom he kept a secret?\n\n\n\n
At dark, I turned around and went back to my house. While I was waiting in the parking lot, I hid my phone so that I could be ready to record the truth. It was planned for his lover to be there, which I knew.\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s true that the woman in the leather coat who walked around the hospital like she was a patient did pay a visit.\n\n\n\n
While following her this time, I stayed completely still and made sure I was close enough to hear her clearly.\n\n\n\n
They could be heard from the ward through a door that was only slightly open. She spoke like a businessman when she said, \u201cEverything is fine,\u201d and \u201cthe insurance money will be sent overseas when you die.\u201d We are now close to beginning our new life.\n\n\n\n
Eric replied with a lot of energy and feeling. \u201cThat is really amazing, Victoria.\u201d Dr. Matthews did exactly what he was supposed to do. He finally agreed with the diagnosis, even though it cost me a lot of money. It was well worth it. If we behave in this way for a few more days, we will be free right away. Diana won\u2019t give anyone a chance to doubt her. She is working on planning my funeral right now.\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe widow who is in mourning, despite the fact that her husband is still alive!\u201d Victoria gave a soft laugh.\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou should have seen her expression when she visited me today.\u201d I love you very much and worry a lot about you. I really want to feel sorry for the poor thing. He laughed out loud.\n\n\n\n
For fifteen years of marriage, the high point was when they pulled off a con. Their casually cruel comments cut deeper than any other kind of sharp object. Even though my eyes were filled with pure pain, I held back tears because it wasn\u2019t the right time.\n\n\n\n
Now was the time to get back at them.\n\n\n\n
As I thought about each part and wrote it down on my phone, my ideas were already coming together to form a plan. Did they seem interested in playing games? Not a problem; I\u2019ve also played sports before.\n\n\n\n
I want to thank all of Eric\u2019s family, friends, and coworkers who have ever told me they were worried about him. They made the calls I made the next day.\n\n\n\n
Eric\u2019s mother sobbed into a napkin while she stood there with his parents next to his bed. People at work said they were sorry in quiet tones. My college friends told me about all the fun times they had with each other. By the evening, all of the guests were in Eric\u2019s room.\n\n\n\n
As more people showed up, I could see fear creeping into Eric\u2019s eyes, but he seemed grateful for the help and did his part by acting weak and thankful.\n\n\n\n
Eric\u2019s kids got bigger. \u201cDiana, what are you working on?\u201d \u2018\n\n\n\n
The room wasn\u2019t organized in any way.\n\n\n\n
As his mom cried some more, her tears turned into angry screams. You have no right to make us go through this with the person you\u2019re married to.\n\n\n\n

Two of Eric\u2019s brothers had to do what they were told while their father was restrained. Victoria arrived at the same time and stopped when she realized their plan had gone horribly wrong. She stood by the door.\n\n\n\n
The next day, I filed for divorce even though I hadn\u2019t seen him since the day before. I then walked back to the bench outside the hospital to see the nice stranger who had saved me from the worst deception of my life.\n\n\n\n
This time, the same woman who had warned me before sat next to me, but she seemed more calm.\n\n\n\n
As I watched the sun go down, I told it, \u201cThank you. You saved me from a strange kind of grief.\u201d The sky turned into a palette of beginnings and endings.\n\n\n\n
In the evening, as I drove home, I had my wedding ring in my pocket. The thought of everything I had lost and won in life was heavy.\n\n\n\n
As the sun went down, bright orange and red colors lit up the sky. I felt like I could breathe again for the first time in weeks.\n\n\n\n
