“Maximus, what are you doing sitting here? Why don’t you go in and see your wife?” Catherine said, snapping him out of the many memories that were circling in his mind. 

Internally, Catherine still hoped her grandson and Mary would continue their marriage, so she clung to the hope that Maximus would begin to treat Mary with more love and respect. If that happened, she wouldn’t have any excuse to want a divorce. What Catherine didn’t foresee was that Mary was not going to change her mind. The fear she had felt seeing her future and that of her little daughter left no doubt that divorce was the best thing she could do.

“Don’t worry, doc. It won’t happen again. My grandmother is tired. I’ll send her home, and I’ll take care of my wife now,” Maximus said in a calm voice. 

“The most important thing is to know how the patient is doing, so I’ll go check on her.”
