He had a tugging suspicion that Hermia was involved with the incident but couldn't get himself to admit that someone he loved would almost kill him because he didn't sign a divorce paper.Max also thought the same and brought it up once. He had shunned him for thinking that way because he knew Hermia wasn't brutal. To clear all suspicion he asked Max to find out. "I found what you asked for" Max announced immediately he entered the office. He abandoned the pending documents he was attending to, to meet Max halfway."How did you find this?"

He was in this position since his minor surgery an hour ago. The night breeze from the open window gently brushed past his skin and he slowly felt his arms and legs, including the pain that follows.He groaned and squeezed fingers into a weak fist as he tried to feel his body. The muscles on his arm ached so he released the fist and tried moving his legs. His legs felt more heavier than usual so he gave up and tried opening his eyes. It felt like a task to keeping his eyelids from closing but was glad that room was dimly lit as he slowly adjusted to it.This was strange to him as he had never been in a place like this. The beeping of the heart monitor caught his attention and was confused for a minute as he realized it was connected to him.He
