“I had arranged my work and was supposed to leave early, but someone from the police station suddenly came to question me. I'm in trouble, my wife.”
It turned out to be because of the traffic accident caused by his speeding through a red light, resulting in the death of the victim. Maximilian rubbed his temples. He really looked worried.
“I heard that a child was killed in the crash. I became an indirect murderer. That car accident victim I mentioned to you the other day, it should be her. Alas, now the police department is going to sue me for causing death by dangerous driving.”
Maximilian slapped his head in chagrin. “The families of the victims probably haven't gotten the news yet. If they make a scene at the hospital, I might even get my license suspended.”
I didn't say anything at that time. I just handed him the children's book.
“What is this, my wife?”
I answered, “It’s Vilhelmina's surprise for you. You should open and read on page 38.”
Maximilian flipped through the magazine. He then read the lines carefully for a long time without gradually stretching them out.
