- 7.
Amelia tracked me down at the hospital.
Seeing me during my rounds, her eyes
widened in surprise, and then she slapped me
hard across the face.
“I thought you were a decent doctor! You
homewrecker!” Her voice echoed through the
ward, attracting the attention of everyone
around.
The slap left my ears ringing. I understood her
anger. She was a victim too. “Amelia, there
<
are patients here. Let’s talk outside.” I tried to
remain calm.
But she wouldn’t let up. “You’re just
embarrassed, aren’t you? Well, I want
everyone to know! I want everyone to know
you’re a homewrecker! A mistress!” She
lunged at me, grabbing for my hair.
I dodged her and called the police. There was
no reasoning with her. I needed to protect
myself.
By the time the police arrived, Amelia was
about to hit me with a vase. Thankfully, an
officer reacted quickly and pulled her back.
