My Husband Gave The Sole Antidote To His First Love

When a hike in the mountains leaves Diana and her husband's first love, Cindy Pepper, both bitten by venomous snakes, there is only one dose of antidote. Gary Sapien, head of the emergency department, injects it into Cindy without hesitation, along with the only stretcher and satellite phone. Diana is left waiting through a torrential downpour until the following afternoon, by which time the venom has spread and her right leg must be amputated. Gary signs the consent form himself, telling her that Cindy is a dance teacher who cannot afford to lose her legs.

That night Diana calls Tommy, a number she has not contacted in five years, and asks him to take her home, withdraw all their investments from Sapien Hospital and prepare a divorce agreement. Gary insists he only acted to save a life and warns her not to divorce him over one leg, but Diana has finally seen that he never counted her among the people who needed saving.

As the operating theater doors close behind her, a message from Tommy arrives: the helicopter is on its way, and she is not alone.
