The Divorce Prescription

When Jonah woke up, he was already lying in a hospital bed. The room was filled with the sharp scent of disinfectant, and there was an IV needle in his hand.

He moved slightly and called out in a hoarse voice, "Hailey..."

Jeremy rushed over, his face lighting up with joy. "Mr. Pilsner, you're awake! Mr. Pilsner, you scared the hell out of me. Did you know you passed out in the pouring rain for a whole day?

"The doctor said you collapsed because you were too worked up. You anger for the better of you, and you caught a cold."

Jonah tried to sit up, but he realized he had no strength at all. His head was still spinning.

Jeremy quickly stopped him. "Mr. Pilsner, are you trying to get up? The doctor said you need to rest. You can't move."

Jonah stared at the ceiling. The moment he and Hailey parted in the rain replayed in his mind over and over. His chest hurt so much he could barely breathe.

"I have to find Hailey... I have to find Hailey..." Jonah reached out to pull out the IV.

Jeremy jumped, panicking. "Mr. Pilsner, you can't do that! You need to rest. You really can't leave the bed right now!"

"Get out of my way! I have to find Hailey!"

Jonah was too worked up, and soon everything went black-he passed out again. "Mr. Pilsner!" Jeremy immediately called for help. "Doctor! Doctor, hurry!"

The doctor came in and examined Jonah, then turned to Jeremy and said, "Mr. Pilsner is very weak right now. He must avoid any emotional stress. He needs complete rest."

"I understand, doctor."
