1) Set aside past grievance in the face of a medical emergency.2) Visit (or at least send wishes) and check practical needs.3) Keep the interaction respectful and brief; do not re-litigate past issues at the bedside.


Verification / Alternative check:
Pro-social responses in crises strengthen social fabric and self-respect, regardless of future relationship status.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Gloating (a) and moralizing (c) are unkind; indifference (b) ignores humanity; broadcasting on social media (e) is insensitive.

Using the visit to score points or demand apologies; making the situation about yourself.
