Man Is Told He Was in a Coma for 12 Years, Later Finds Out It Was a Ruse His Wife Planned — Story of the Day
A man awakens to discover that he has been in the hospital for 12 years due to a terrible car accident – only to find out that it was all a ruse planned by his wife to teach him a lesson.
When Jerome Smith married Caroline, he promised her he would give her and their future child all his time and be the best father and husband in the world. But just a few years after welcoming a son, he had forgotten his promise.
Because what mattered most to Jerome was his work. His priorities had quickly shifted from being a family man to being the best employee, and as long as Caroline and their 6-year-old son Robert could remember, they’d always seen him talking about work, working, or drinking because of WORK!
According to Caroline, Jerome was such a workaholic that if God had asked him about the last thing he wanted to do before he died, he would have said he wanted to finish the last piece of work he could. Given the kind of obsession he had developed for working all the time, Caroline was constantly irritated with him. But Jerome didn’t care.
He was frequently the first to arrive at his office and the last to leave. He would sometimes drink all night to keep himself awake and working, which had resulted in several instances of him driving drunk at night.
Caroline used to have sleepless nights worrying about what would happen if he got into an accident while drunk driving, and she had advised him not to. But Jerome’s response to her worries was, “Oh come on, honey! Nothing like that is going to happen. I’m not the only one who works and drinks late at night!”
Caroline reminded him that it wasn’t just about him working and drinking but also about drunk driving, but Jerome ignored her and went straight to bed.

Caroline noticed that these occurrences were becoming more frequent with time. When Jerome brought Robert home from school one afternoon, he smelled strongly of alcohol, and the next day, he didn’t get home until late at night.
She was terrified that night because he wasn’t even returning her calls or texts, but luckily, before she could call the cops, she heard the sound of his car’s engine and saw his car outside their house.
However, when she went outside, she noticed he’d been drunk to the point where he couldn’t even stand on his own, and his car had a few scratches on the bonnet, implying the drive hadn’t been particularly safe.
When these things kept happening in a row, Caroline lost her cool and decided to confront him one day.
“Jerome!” she said...
