But Maxwell just looked at Stephanie’s name on his phone.”
“Did you hear that!”
His fists were clenched and shaking.
“Maxwell!”
None of this felt real. Over by the hallway, it seemed like Stephanie’s figure appeared again when she fell, along with the shout she made that he heard back then when he didn’t dare look back.
Just as Leonard was about to speak again, Maxwell heard his own voice.
“We got divorced.”
The voice sounded really strange, like it wasn’t even his.
Leonard, who had raised his cane, stopped.
“What?” Leonard said in disbelief.
Maxwell lowered his eyes a little and looked at those big green letters that said Emergency Exit.
He said, “The cooling–off period was already over. I went to get the divorce certificate a few days ago.”
The whole hallway went quiet for three seconds.
Then came Edwin’s incredulous voice: “Mr. Humphrey, you can’t be joking, you can’t trick Leonard and Jennifer just to avoid calling Mre

Humphrey!”
But Maxwell just pressed his lips together and didn’t say anything..
“You…”
Leonard got angry and hit Maxwell with his cane.
“Alright, Maxwell, what a Maxwell!”
Leonard was panting with anger, his chest heaving hard, his bloodshot, and he pointed at Maxwell.

Leonard held the cane and hit Maxwell hard again, but when he raised the cane once more.
“We were the Humphrey family…the…”

“Grandpa!”
Maxwell was about to catch Leonard, but Jennifer pushed him away.
“Grandma, let me…” Maxwell said anxiously.

Edwin had already called the doctor.
“Grandma, I didn’t.” Maxwell’s eyes were red. “I’ll help Grandpa. Grandpa’s illness…”

This shoving made him think of that day again, when a few of them were pulling and pushing each other in the emergency exit.
After a burst of chaos, the medical staff quickly rushed over and carried Leonard away for emergency treatment.

“If something happened to your grandpa, I’d go with him too. Remember, Maxwell, what you’re carrying is our lives!”
In front of Maxwell was the closed emergency room, and people kept coming and going.

Nothing was real.
Why did things end up like this? It seemed like he messed everything up.

“Steph, we knew about your divorce with Maxwell, your grandpa… he got sick.”
