Adele Webber

Adele Webber

Character History
The outspoken wife of Richard Webber, Adele has been shown to percieve much more than her husband might expect - whether it is about the past of her own marriage, or current state of the Shepherds. She endured her marriage silently and without complaints, but she finally had enough when Richard put his other hospital patients above her dying niece. When Richard failed to return home on the night of the prom, she made an appointment to see him at the office, but was blown off because of another hospital emergency. It proved one too many, however, and she gave him an ultimatum: her or the hospital. Richard tried to avoid making the choice, but Adele was tired of his indecision, and left him. When Dr. Richard Webber quits his job as the Chief of Surgery, he returns to Adele to find out that she has moved on and appears to be involved with another man. She is in the process of divorcing Richard when she was involved in a small car accident, and was hospitalized. She revealed to Addison that she is pregnant. After being released, she fainted in a bathroom and was found by Richard. It is discovered that she is having complications with the pregnancy and will have to undergo surgery. Despite the fact that he believes that he is not the baby's father, Dr. Webber stays at his wife's side even when she tells him to leave her be. This support eventually brings them back together. After the surgery, Adele lost the baby and tells Richard that the baby was indeed his and that there was never any other man in her life.
