Chapter 136
After hanging up, Maggie drove back home.
Meanwhile, in the hospital.
Isabella and Franklin were still in the ward talking to Julia,
Levi had stepped out into the corridor to make a phone call.
He called Harry and said, “Frank is preparing to divorce Maggie.”
Harry, who was out of town, stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.
“What?” he responded, pausing. “Are you sure?”
“Of course, I was there at the scene. What’s uncertain?” Levi added, “Also, Frank hasn’t given her custody
of Isabella.”
Harry clenched his phone tightly.
Levi continued, “But-”
Before he could finish, Harry interrupted him, saying, “I have to handle something first. I’ll call you back
Without waiting for Levi to speak, he hung up the phone.
Levi was left in silence. “…What’s so urgent?”
While Levi was mumbling to himself, Harry had already found Maggie’s number. He hesitated before dialing.
A few seconds later, he went ahead and called.
Maggie had just returned home and, upon seeing his call, she answered casually, “Mr. Becker, is there something you need?”
“You-”
He actually didn’t know how to broach the subject of her and Franklin’s matter.

How are you?” These words, in his current position, even felt out of place.
Maggie thought he was calling to arrange a meeting with Daisy.
She noticed his hesitation and quickly said, “If it’s about meeting Daisy, I have something to handle tomorrow and might not be free. Could we meet the day after or next week?”
Earlier, Johnny had called her and mentioned that he had already arranged a lawyer for her. She was meeting the lawyer tomorrow morning.
She needed to settle the divorce issue as soon as possible.
Harry realized that she misunderstood, but he didn’t correct her. Instead, he simply said, “Alright.”
At this point, Maggie assumed the conversation was over, but when Harry didn’t hang up, she asked, “Mr. Becker, is there anything else?”
Harry could sense that Maggie’s voice was calm, seemingly without the pain or heartbreak he expected.
But was it really like that?
Perhaps she was just suppressing her emotions?
After a few seconds of silence on his end, Maggie asked again, “Mr. Becker? Are you still there?”
Harry came back to his senses and said, “I’m here.”
