📝 AITA for hugging my fiancé’s sister while she was in the hospital?

So about a month ago my (25m) fiancé Bailey (22f) was in the hospital. She had a 106° fever that wasn’t going down, she was puking up everything she ate, she couldn’t hold anything, talk, walk, etc. She was in the hospital for 3 weeks and just got out last week. During the time she was in the hospital we honestly thought she only had a few days left. We were trying to be hopeful, but we really didn’t think she was gonna make it.

Obviously during this horribly scary situation, me and her sister (24f) were there pretty much 24/7. There was one night where it was just us two and Bailey’s condition was absolutely horrible. Her fever had hit 107°, she was unresponsive to anything, and her sister hugged me. I hugged her back because I was crying and just so petrified. The hug was in no way romantic, it was simply us comforting each other because we thought Bailey was gonna die.

I guess Bailey was talking to her sister about how scared she was and me and her hugging came up. Bailey freaked out, came home, and screamed at me for “cheating on her”. I tried explaining things but she didn’t wanna hear it. She’s not talking to me or her sister and she posted on facebook “it must be nice to have someone who you can get engaged to and then trust them to last till marriage without cheating.”So I’m not really sure if that’s her calling off the wedding or what. Her parents also aren’t talking to her sister. I feel really bad and I feel like it’s my fault that her parents are mad at her sister. AITA?
