There was a woman whose husband she thought was cheating on her, so she decided to follow him to a motel and find out why he always came home tired and messy.In 2002, Evelyn was 42 years old and married to a doctor. She had two wonderful children.She cared a lot about her image and how other people saw her family because she and her husband were one of the “elite” families in their neighborhood.She wanted to be a preschool teacher when she was a kid.Then she had kids and had to give up her job. She used her teaching skills to help her kids with their homework.Evelyn cared a lot about her family because she grew up in a broken home because her parents split up when she was a kid.She later found out that her father had cheated on her mother, even though her mother had told her that her father had left her to work in a faraway country.She promised herself that wouldn’t happen again and worked hard to have a great family life.It was the perfect family life for Evelyn. Her husband was a doctor, and her kids got straight A’s in school.Evan got up early every day to make food for her whole family.The morning paper and plans for the day were talked about in the kitchen before everyone left for school and work.Evelyn liked her life and was glad her family liked the food she made.The surgeon Robert, Evelyn’s husband, was very well known.People came from other states to see him because they trusted him the most with difficult surgeries in their town.When her kids and husband got home, Evelyn was happy to stay home and wait.
She was at the yoga class or the coffee shop with other housewives from the neighborhood when she wasn’t cooking or cleaning the house.She was shocked when her husband didn’t get home in time for dinner one day.She was mad that he hadn’t told her he was going to be late.Robert was an hour late getting home, and Evelyn, the kids, and I were already done eating.Evelyn asked him what was wrong because he looked tired and messy.”Are you okay?” “You look worn out,” she told him.”Work was tough today.” “I had to stay late because of a rare case,” he said as he ate all the food on the table.Evelyn wasn’t quite ready to accept her husband’s reasoning. She was a very careful woman.She knew something wasn’t right, but she chose not to act on it right away.After breakfast the next day, Evelyn saw that her husband’s phone lit up with a message that said, “Are you coming over today?” Robert turned the phone over right away when he saw her looking at it.Evyn knew in her heart that her husband was cheating on her.She didn’t fight with him, though, because she wasn’t ready to face the truth if it turned out that he was seeing someone else.That night, she waited for Robert to leave the hospital where he worked.He always left the building on time at 6 p.m.He got in his car and drove off. Evelyn took a cab to follow him.After a short time, his car pulled up in front of a hotel.Evelyn couldn’t stop shaking because her heart was beating so fast.She jumped out of the cab and hid near the front door.When her husband walked into the hotel, a woman met him.
When they went into a room together, Evelyn was very sad.She wanted to punch something because she couldn’t believe what she saw.If you wait an hour, Robert will come out, and Evelyn will lash out at him.She yelled, “You liar!””How could you treat me like this?” She slammed her hands on his chest and asked, “How?”Robert tried to calm his wife down by telling her, “Evelyn, calm down.””Let me explain.” Robert led Evelyn into the hotel by taking her hand.He left the room and opened the door to the one he had been in. What she saw shocked her.Evelyn saw a man on the bed with his legs stuck out.Robert told the man that this guy was his old teacher, who was now living on the streets because he was fired twenty years ago.Robert said, “I saw him on the street one day as I was walking home.”He was stuck on a dirty path with one hand on his leg. “He told me he couldn’t walk because he hurt his leg when I asked him what happened.””I decided right away to treat him for free because he couldn’t pay for the surgery,” Robert said. “No one knows that I come here a few times a week.” Because our hospital doesn’t let people work for free, I wanted to keep it a secret.
“I’m sorry I made you doubt my love for you, Evelyn,” he said.”I love you and will never be unfaithful to you.” Evelyn was so upset that she was crying.She saw that her husband was so much more than what she thought he would be.What does this story teach us?Be careful not to jump to conclusions.Following a series of events, Evelyn was quick to think that her husband was cheating on her. However, she was shocked to find out that he was actually doing something good and admirable.Do good things even if no one sees them.Robert was a well-known and respected doctor who got paid a lot of money to help people.But he chose to help a needy soldier without telling anyone because he knew it was the right thing to do.Tell your friends and family about this story.It might give someone ideas and make their day a little better.
