While I Was Dying, He Was Texting His Intern

I woke in the middle of the night with a severe allergic reaction. My throat was swelling shut, so I grabbed my phone and called my husband, who was a doctor.

Bertram Delgado：“Hello?”

He never picked up during night shifts. The fact that the call connected instantly caught me off guard.

A wave of warmth spread through my chest.

“Honey, I'm having an allergic reaction. Can you……”

Before I could finish, a woman's voice cut in. Sybilla Dickerson, his intern：

“Ha ha, gotcha! The call hasn't actually gone through yet~ Dr. Delgado is busy, so please try again later~”
