Husband Chooses Work Over Wife’s Cancer Surgery!
Well, well, well… looks like our protagonist’s husband finally pulled his head out of his a** and realized what a massive j**k he was being! After leaving his wife high and dry before her potentially life-saving surgery, he comes crawling back with flowers and breakfast in hand. Better late than never, I suppose!
