Kelly replied to everyone’s comments with a smiling cat emoji and then sent Steven a kiss emoji in response.
The doorbell rang suddenly. It was the delivery man handed me a signed divorce agreement and a bag. I asked what it was.
He hesitated before replying, "A woman asked me to give this to you. She said you’re nearing menopause... bad temper of an old woman and she won’t bother with you anymore. This contains a menopausal oral solution. But... you look only about thirty."
I calmly told him to throw away the things Kelly had used to provoke me, then closed the door.
I took out the divorce agreement and carefully signed my name.
My phone vibrated a few times. It was a message from the hospital’s HR manager:
"Mrs. Parker, would you please reconsider? It doesn't matter with the others, but how could you send Doctor Steven and Kelly to Africa?"
"I know you’re upset after losing your children and you’re angry with Doctor Steven. But please keep your public and private lives separate and don’t resort to such dirty tactics. Not only are you harming two talented people, but you’re also costing countless patients their chance at survival."
