Diana struggled to accept that her husband, Eric, had only a few weeks to live due to stage-four cancer. As she tried to process the diagnosis, a nurse approached her and whispered, “Set up a hidden camera in his ward… you deserve to know the truth.”
The doctor’s words had shattered Diana’s world. Fifteen years of marriage seemed reduced to a handful of days. But that evening, the stranger’s suggestion gnawed at her. The next day, Diana set up a camera in Eric’s room while he was getting a scan.
That night, she watched the footage and was shocked to see Eric sit up, embrace a woman, and kiss her. He looked far from dying. They talked, and he hid something under his mattress. The woman was a stranger to Diana, and something felt deeply wrong.
The next day, Diana learned the truth. Eric, in cahoots with his mistress, had faked his diagnosis to get insurance money. They planned to transfer the payout offshore after his supposed death. Diana, devastated, planned her revenge.
The next day, she gathered family and friends in Eric’s room, claiming his condition had worsened. With everyone present, she played the footage of Eric’s betrayal: his affair, the fake diagnosis, and their scheme. Chaos erupted. Eric was arrested, along with his doctor and mistress.
Diana filed for divorce, then returned to the bench outside the hospital where the stranger had warned her. The nurse smiled at her, explaining that she’d overheard Eric and his lover during her night shifts.
Diana had lost her husband, not to cancer, but to greed and lies. Yet, in the end, she found her truth, her strength, and a reminder that sometimes, the kindness of strangers can save us from those we love the most.
