“Of course.” Hugo was happy to hear that Danika was willing to bring Helga out of the hospital to go through with the divorce procedures. He wanted to divorce her immediately. Without going through the formalities, he would not be at ease.
Danika took a few glances and then frowned, “Amy goes to Helga while the house, car, and savings go to each of you? This won’t work.”
After saying that, she flung the papers back at him. “Split the house, car, and savings.
50% for each person.”
“Hey…she has agreed to it already.” Hugo was upset as he didn’t expect Danika to interfere in their matters. “And because she is sick, she has already spent a lot of money, and these things aren’t hers in the first place.”
Hearing those words, Helga felt a stab of pain in her heart. Even though she already knew how heartless this man was, it still pained her to be reminded of it.
Sighing, she looked at Danika and said, “Dr. Zellweger, just give it all to him. I don’t want anything to do with him anymore.”
Danika looked at her and asked, “You’re just making things easy for him. Look, you must fight for what is rightfully yours. Even if you don’t want to do it for yourself, you have to think of Amy.”
The money from the charity fund would only cover the surgery and postoperative care.
Once they left the hospital, she and Amy needed money to survive.
“Well, the savings will be given to Helga while the house and car will be yours. If you don’t mind, I’ll have someone prepare a new agreement. You can get a divorce now. If you don’t want to, we won’t go through with it. If Helga borrows a large sum of money and can’t repay it, you will also have to repay it,” Danika said.
Hugo glared at Helga. “You already agreed to it, and now you want to back out? Have you not spent enough of my money? How dare you ask for more?”
Helga remained calm. She had wanted to persuade Danika to give up, but now she changed her mind.
“Why wouldn’t I want what’s mine? What do you mean by ‘ your money’? Don’t I have a share of that money too? Be grateful that I didn’t ask for half of the house.”
In fact, they had bought the house together after they got married, so she should have had half of it. However, she didn’t want to live there and knew that Hugo would never agree to give her the house, so
We Must Divorce!
Hugo never imagined Helga would dare talk to him like that.
Pointing at her, he shouted, “Fine, woman! Before this, you pretended like you didn’t want anything, but now you are fighting me on this. What can you do to me if I don’t give in?”
“If you don’t give in, I won’t agree to the divorce!” Helga sneered. Anyway, she wasn’t the one who was in a hurry.
Hearing her say that, Hugo was furious. “No way! We must divorce!”
“If you want a divorce, give me the savings!” Helga now understood that she had no reason to give Hugo’s mistress any advantage. How could she and her daughter live if she gave them everything?
Hugo’s face turned red with anger, but he still had no intention of agreeing. Danika couldn’t stand it any longer and said to him, “Hugo, even if you look past the fact that
Helga has been your wife for many years, you should still think of your child. She is still young. Can you bear to let her live in poverty? She calls you ‘dad.’ The savings is not much for you. You still have a house and a car. If she loves you, she won’t leave you just because you lose a little money.”
Unexpectedly, Danika spoke to him in a kind tone. It was mainly because she didn’t want Helga to be entangled with him any longer, so she decided to do anything he could to bring their divorce earlier.
As expected, when Hugo heard his daughter’s name, his expression changed slightly.
“I’ll make a phone call to discuss it.”
Helga was angry. It was common practice to divide marital property if anyone divorced. Why did he have to discuss it with someone else?
Seeing that, Danika stopped her from speaking in time and shook her head at her.
Hugo walked out of the ward, and Danika said, “Let him go and negotiate. If they are in a hurry to get a divorce, they will agree.”
“I’m just so angry!” Helga said.
“You have known what kind of person Hugo is for a long time. Why are you still angry over his actions?”
If Danika were in her shoes, she would have lost all hope in him long ago. She wouldn’t even be surprised by his actions.
Helga nodded after a moment of stunned silence. “Dr.
Zellweger, you’re right. I should have seen his true colors a long time ago.”
She wouldn’t be disappointed that day if she didn’t keep hoping. She was angry because he was still in her heart. A part of her kept thinking about the beautiful memories they had shared. However, those days would never come back.
Soon, Hugo agreed to the divorce agreement as Danika had expected. Then, Danika took Helga out of the hospital and drove her to the court.
Hugo tried to enter the car, but Danika closed the door in his face, saying, “Mr. Hansel,
I’m sure you have enough money to take a cab, right?”
After saying that, Danika started the car and left, leaving an angry Hugo behind.
Gritting his teeth, he hailed a cab to catch up.
Because they had reached an agreement, the process was very smooth. It only took a few minutes for their marriage certificate to be replaced by a divorce certificate, turning them into strangers.
Helga looked at the divorce certificate, her eyes filled with tears. However, she refused to let any tears fall. Perhaps because he had already achieved her goal, Hugo began to act like a good person, saying, “I’ll go see Amy if I have time.”
“There’s no need for that. She’s my daughter, and I’ll take care of her.” Hugo wasn’t fit to be a father, so it would be better if he didn’t show up at all.
Hugo wanted to say more, but Helga was not in the mood to listen. “Dr. Zellweger, please take me back to the hospital.”
“Okay.” Danika nodded without even casting a glance at Hugo.
What went around came around. Danika believed that Hugo’s retribution was just around the corner.
Shut Up!
After sending Helga back to the hospital and ensuring she was fine, Danika left the ward. It was already time to get off work, and she remembered that she had made plans to have dinner with Stephanie, Leonard, and Eustace that evening. Since she planned it, she couldn’t be late.
She hurriedly packed her things and headed out of the hospital. Eustace was already waiting for her at the entrance.
“Dr. Zellweger, please get in the car.” Eustace waved to her, calling her Dr. Zellweger on purpose.
Danika glanced at him but didn’t comment on it. “Come on, let’s head to the restaurant.”
“Okay.” Eustace nodded, opening the passenger door for Danika before getting into the driver’s seat. The car pulled away, and the two departed from the hospital.
Across the hospital entrance, Evan sat in his car, looking in the direction they had gone for a long time without moving.
“We suffered heavy losses this time. Almost none of the people we brought back from overseas are left. We’re in big trouble,” Howard Young said, oblivious to Evan’s unusual behavior.
He was one of his men who returned from abroad with him and his confidant.
“Many people have started investigating your background.
Once the truth is uncovered, many enemies will come looking for us,” Howard elaborated, full of concern.
Evan had been the leader of an overseas mercenary group for many years and attacked many people from his home country. He would end the target’s life as instructed as long as there was money. Therefore, he had offended many people.
It didn’t matter that much when he was abroad. Now that he was back in his home country and had lost many of his men, he would suffer greatly if his enemies came looking for him.
Evan merely hummed in agreement.
Feeling anxious, Howard asked, “Why don’t we go back?”
After all, they were not in their home ground, they had fewer people, and the authorities were strict. They had no advantage remaining there.
His suggestion stunned Evan, as he had never considered that option.
“No need. If we leave now, won’t we be laughed at?” Evan sneered. Even though he had lost many people, he didn’t seem worried in the least.
The sight of that didn’t reassure Howard. Glancing at Evan, he asked cautiously, “Are you reluctant to leave because of Danika?”
Evan’s expression changed immediately, and he looked at Howard. “You’ve crossed the line!”
“Look, I know you’re unhappy, but I have to say it. Danika is too big for people of the likes of us to handle. You two are from different worlds. You cannot be together,”
Howard said.
Evan’s expression turned uglier with every word.
“Just forget about her,” Howard continued. “You can get any woman you want. Why do you care so much for a woman like Danika?”
Evan’s gun had already been loaded at some point, and now it was aimed at
Howard’s temple. “It’s none of your business, understand?”
“Shut up!” Evan interrupted him, not wanting to listen any further. “Drive!”
Howard gritted his teeth and remained quiet. He felt his resentment towards Danika growing. If it weren’t for her, Evan wouldn’t have returned to his home country, and the lives of his colleagues wouldn’t have been lost.
On top of that, Evan seemed to be smitten with her. Although nothing had happened yet, who could guarantee what would happen in the future?
He wondered if he should do something about it. He couldn’t just watch Evan go down like that, could he?
Howard’s thoughts were unknown to Evan. At this moment, he was thinking about when he should go look for Danika.
You Are Thinking Too Little
Danika and Eustace had chosen the restaurant and had already taken their seats. They were waiting for Stephanie and Leonard to arrive.
“By the way, did Leonard agree to come?” Danika suddenly remembered to ask Eustace. If
