Doctor: She is extremely lucky to be alive right now.
Paramedic: The venom in her system was meant to cause total organ failure within minutes.
Sarah opened her eyes slowly in the bright, sterile room of the emergency hospital wing three days later.
Sarah: Where... where am I? What happened to Mark?
Detective Vance: You are in Saint Jude Hospital, ma'am. You were poisoned on your wedding morning.
Sarah tried to sit up, but a sharp wave of pain rushed through her upper torso and throat.
Sarah: Claire gave me orange juice... she put something in it!
Detective Vance: We found traces of a toxic chemical inside the broken glass on your living room floor.
Sarah: Where is Mark? Did he search for me?
Detective Vance: Mark married Claire at the church three days ago, right after you were rushed into emergency care.
Tears welled up in Sarah's eyes, burning her pale cheeks as the bitter truth sank deep into her chest.
Sarah: She lied to him... she stole my husband and my entire life!
Detective Vance: They flew out to a resort in Florida for their honeymoon yesterday morning.
Sarah: You have to arrest her! She tried to murder me in my own home!
Detective Vance: We need direct physical proof connecting Claire to the poison bottle, Sarah.
Sarah wiped her tears away, feeling a sudden surge of cold rage replace her initial weakness and heartbreak.
Sarah: I will give you all the proof you need to lock her away forever.
Doctor: You need to rest, Sarah. Your heart is still recovering from the toxic trauma.
Sarah: I have no time to rest while that monster is living my dream life with my husband.
Sarah pulled the IV tube out of her arm and stood up slowly, steadying herself against the bed frame.
Detective Vance: What are you planning to do right now, Sarah?
Sarah: I am going to get my life back, and I am going to make Claire pay for everything.
She walked toward the closet where her street clothes were hanging, her determination growing stronger with every step.
Detective Vance: Do not do anything foolish that could compromise our official police investigation.
Sarah: The police move too slow, Detective. Claire thinks I am dead, and that is my biggest advantage.
Sarah grabbed her phone from the small bedside table and checked her social media accounts immediately.
Sarah: She posted photos from the estate hotel... they are staying at the Grand Palm Resort.
Detective Vance: We can extradite her if we gather sufficient evidence from the crime scene back home.
Sarah: I know where she bought the poison. She used my mother's credit card last week without permission.
Detective Vance pulled out a small black notepad and wrote down the financial transaction details immediately.
Detective Vance: If we verify that purchase, we can issue an arrest warrant before nightfall.
Sarah: Then let us make sure she never enjoys another single moment of my stolen marriage.
