I’m an on-call doctor in the Emergency Room.

In the ER, you see all kinds of strange things.

Once, we had a kid who stuffed a ball in her mouth and couldn’t get it out...

But one night, something happened that I never could have imagined—the patient brought to the ER was my wife, and the reason she was there was unspeakable.

It was late at night in the ER. I was yawning out of boredom, my eyes half-shut, and I was nearly asleep.

“Dr. Rivers, we’ve got a patient!”

The night nurse, Amber, rushed into the ER, her voice urgent.

Instantly, I was wide awake. I wiped my face and stood up.

“What’s the situation?” I asked hurriedly.

“The patient, she... she...” Amber trailed off, looking uncomfortable.

Seeing this, I didn’t ask any more questions. In the ER, I’ve seen my share of bizarre cases.

But when the nurse wheeled the patient into the room, I froze.

I never expected to see my wife in the ER.

“Savannah!”

My face went pale as I rushed over to her.

Savannah’s face was white, and she had passed out completely.

“Dr. Rivers, do you know her?” Amber asked, surprised.

“She’s my wife,” I said without turning around, immediately beginning to examine her.

There were no visible injuries on her face or body, but she was still unconscious.

Internal injuries?

My heart raced. Internal injuries can be even more serious than external ones.

But when I checked her legs, I froze in shock.

I knew what this was, immediately.

The room spun for a second, and my breathing became rapid. I almost collapsed right there in the ER.

Savannah and I had been married for two years. Our relationship was normal—we never explored anything out of the ordinary in bed.

Savannah’s... back door was a place I’d never been, and we’d never used any... equipment like this.

But now, it was clear that Savannah had passed out from a rectal tear.
