“ You’re cold even in this… ” she whispered. “ Okay. Go away.
Now. So that by morning you’re gone.”
The divorce was quick, without unnecessary emotions. What hurt Olga most was not only her husband’s deception, but also the fact that Irina Igorevna probably knew more than she let on.
By the time the divorce was finalized, Olga was left alone, without a family, without a home, without a clinic. Everything had to start all over again – at an age when many women are already building their lives on a solid foundation. But she did not break.
She returned to where she had started her journey as a doctor – to the ambulance station. After Andrey, her trust in men was greatly shaken. She hesitated for a long time to begin a new relationship.
But over time, the pain began to be faded, and Olga began to believe in love again. Igor Kostin appeared in her life – a tall, broad-shouldered nurse whose fate was full of trials. He and Olga became close gradually.
At first, he asked her to help him know the complex aspects of resuscitation, asked questions without overdoing it with familiarity. He always refused ready-made answers, preferring to understand the materials himself. – Ol, thank you, of course!
But I need to understand, and not just copy. We’re not playing with dolls, we’re pulling people out , – he said seriously. ” Okay, I’ll test you, ” she teased
” I like that you don’t give up.”
Their friendship developed into something more when Igor defended his diploma.
As a sign of celebration, he invited Olga to a restaurant, and then to his home. Thus began a new chapter in her life. Soon Olga changed her last name again, becoming Kostina.
Over the years, memories of Andrey’s betrayal faded. That time seemed like a distant nightmare that had long since ended.
And so, one day, an ambulance again brought Olga to the mansion where her ex-husband lived.
Andrey stood nearby, holding on to the wall with trembling hands.
His gaze was lost, like that of a man who had experienced a second birth. For him, this day had become a turning point. While the child was being taken to the ambulance, Igor went to ask Vika about the reasons for her son’s deteriorating condition.
And Olga, as usual, carefully washed her hands in the children’s bathroom and headed for the exit. “ Wait, Ol… ” Andrey called out to her. “ I want to thank you.”
” Are you on familiar terms again?
” she smiled dryly. ” And when I came in, you called me all sorts of names, just not like before.”
– Please, Olga, let me speak. “ Speak,” she sighed.
“But quickly.”
– I… I want you to know: you are the best of us. I am deeply guilty before you. But there is something that can at least make up for my guilt a little – at least before your conscience.
Look at this. He handed her a neatly folded piece of paper. Olga hesitated – at first she wanted to refuse, but an inner voice whispered: “Read it.
This is important.”
“…To transfer the right to all current and future income of the clinic to my son Andrei Gennadievich Grigoriev and my daughter-in-law Olga Mikhailovna Grigorieva in proportions of 65% and 35% respectively. Payments are made regardless of the marital status of the parties…”
– Really? – Olga said.
– Yes, Olga. I have nothing to say in my defense, – Andrey answered quietly.
– But even before Petya got sick, I wanted to contact you and fix everything.
I just… didn’t have the strength.
“ Or courage? ” she chuckled. “Or simply no desire?”
– I had a heart att.ack.
Hard times. I thought about a lot of things during that time…
– I don’t care. I need to give you back part of what was rightfully yours.
Do with it as you wish. For yourself, for others… Whatever you want. – So, you want me to quit my shift right now and run to the notary?
And Pete might not be the last patient today. – I understand. Then tomorrow morning.
– Let’s see. – Be merciful, at least for your mother’s sake. In the morning, Grigoriev’s SUV actually stopped at the ambulance station.
Igor was surprised, but listened carefully to his wife. ” I trust you, Ol. But if he hurts you again, then I’ll just show him who’s boss here ,” he said.
– There’s no need to do anything, my dear. He’s a sick man. Perhaps he’s finally become a man.
With these words, she went out and headed towards her ex-husband’s car. “ Does Vika know that you started this ‘gift’? ” Olga asked.
– She is no longer my wife. Oddly enough, this man was only interested in well-being. She got pregnant on purpose – to live at my expense.
But I love Petya. He is the only good thing I have left. ” Well, don’t let anyone else ride your motorcycle indiscriminately, ” she said
” Don’t worry, I’m kidding.
You used to understand humor better.”
Finally, the transfer of funds happened a long time and the debts had paid off over the years, and the amount was hige. Andrey signed obligations for gradual compensation, and the relationship between them started to change. They were no longer cold.
Igor even attended several meetings to encourage his wife.
