Now he wanted to present her as someone incapable of controlling her own life.
The doctors remained silent, shrugging at all her questions. Tamara had not yet regained enough strength to resist. Neither employees nor friends were allowed near her.
Konstantin was tormented by anxiety, but now he worked as a gravedigger—he had lost everything he had hoped for after being fired.
Occasionally, he helped Ivan Vladimirovich at the cemetery, though his heart ached with thoughts of Tamara.
One day, at a funeral, something happened that turned everything around. They were burying an elderly businessman. There were many people at the ceremony, farewell words were said, and family mourned.
Konstantin stood aside, waiting for his moment, when he absentmindedly glanced at the deceased—and suddenly realized: the man was alive!
Pushing through the crowd, he grabbed the «dead» man’s hand.
There was a pulse! Weak, but it was there.
«Get the madman away! What’s he doing?!» screamed the young widow.
But Konstantin didn’t hear.
Commanding in a firm voice, he ordered: «Make way! Fresh air! Call an ambulance quickly!»
He managed to revive the man.
A few minutes later, he was taken to the hospital. It turned out that the woman—his new wife—had been trying to poison him to inherit his fortune. But she hadn’t finished the job.
Thanks to Konstantin, he was alive.
This man turned out to be not just a wealthy entrepreneur—he was the major shareholder of Tamara’s company. Upon hearing who had saved his life, he immediately contacted Konstantin and heard the story about Tamara.
«Seriously?!» he exclaimed upon hearing her name. «She’s my best partner!»
The businessman immediately took control of the situation.
After his intervention, the company was returned to Tamara. Dmitry, stripped of his influence, disappeared with his mistress as if he had never existed.
The chief doctor and department head were fired and lost their licenses. No medical institution would trust them anymore.
And Konstantin got a chance to return to his profession.
First, he was taken back to the clinic, but not for long—Tamara decided to open a private medical center and appointed Konstantin as its director.
Over time, real feelings developed between them. Six months later, they got married, and the most honored guest at their wedding was Ivan Vladimirovich—the former teacher who had become everything to them.
Soon, the couple shared the happy news: Tamara and Konstantin were expecting a baby.
«I hope the little one won’t be bothered by Grandpa?» Ivan Vladimirovich joked with a smile, looking at the happy newlyweds.
