Celebrating My Freedom on Their Wedding Day But He Wont Let Me GoChapter 1
My husband's foster sister was a walking disaster.
Every time she wreaked havoc, my husband brushed it off with the same tired excuse: "She's still a child."
When she saw that I worked as a school doctor, she clamored to be my assistant. Reluctantly, I agreed.
On her very first day, the chaos began.
A student came in with indigestion. I instructed her to fetch digestive aids; instead, she handed the poor child potent laxatives.
When caught, she blinked up at me with wide, innocent eyes.
"Well, if their stomach is emptied out completely, isn't that digestion?"
Later, with exams approaching, a stressed student sought help for insomnia. She gave them heavy-duty sleeping pills. The student slept until noon the next day, missing the exam entirely.
I pleaded with my husband to transfer her elsewhere.
He refused, shielding her as always.
"She's just a kid, Katherine. Be patient. Teach her, and she'll learn."
Then came Christmas.
She swapped the school's prepared mushroom soup ingredients for a batch of wild, unidentified mushrooms she'd found.
