CHAPTER 221: CHAPTER 219: TAKE CARE [4 UPDATES]

Just now, when Asher Norton signaled to Maya Spencer, he saw it.

So he arranged for the nurse to tamper with something in Maya’s hospital room to listen in on the conversations.

Subconsciously, he thought Maya and Henry Reid would rekindle their old feelings or cry on each other’s shoulders. But he was overthinking it and misunderstood Maya.

He admitted he was a bit surprised and clearly felt that Maya seemed more mature than three years ago, tackling problems with honesty instead of avoidance.

So, he turned off the monitoring on his phone.

At that moment, he fully believed in Maya, believed that she was saving Henry out of kindness, not out of affection.

Liam Spencer used to think that Maya was heartless, unable to see or remember others’ kindness.

Now, he deeply understood what Lillian Morris said, that Maya’s heart is fragile.

Indeed, she was so fragile that she hid her goodness deep inside, protecting herself like a hedgehog.

Thinking of her recent docility, he felt an impulsive urge, a strong urge to hold her for a lifetime.

Meanwhile, at the hospital!

Listening to Maya’s honesty, Henry Reid suddenly seemed to understand that they were too stubborn in the past.

He persistently treated her well, while she persistently rejected him.

He trapped himself in a cage, unable to break free.

He took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and gently touched her little face, saying, "Maya, I’m sorry. I was too selfish, always wanting to possess you without considering your feelings."

Maya listened to Henry’s apology, raised her head, and looked at him seriously, "I don’t have many friends, and I hope you’ll be well."

Hearing Maya call him a friend, Henry smiled softly, feeling both happy and sorrowful.

He gently pinched her cheek and, smiling, said, "I will be fine."

Henry understood that this "being fine" meant their relationship would remain at this moment and could never progress.

His eyes involuntarily reddened, and the tears in his eyes were a tribute to his deep past affections.

Maya saw the redness in his eyes, lifted her right hand, ruffled his hair, and gently said, "Be good!"

She didn’t say any cliches, nor did she tell him he would meet someone better.

Because she knew she was a scar etched in Henry’s heart.

She just hoped he would live well and gradually put her aside.

Henry never thought Maya could be so gentle at times, and he hated himself for not being Liam Spencer, unable to see more of her beauty.

Then he took a deep breath and hugged her tightly.

After a moment, he patted her back and said, "Let’s not get sentimental. I need to go to the company and write a promise letter for my dad."

"Okay, go quickly!" Maya looked at the familiar Henry, her smile still there.

Henry hadn’t been gone for long when Maya’s hospital room door was suddenly pushed open heavily.

Lying on the bed, Maya was startled, suddenly sitting up and stretching her head to look into the living room.

She saw Elia Spencer walking angrily into the hospital room, with Hannah nervously following behind.

Maya looked at the ’concerned’ mother and daughter, her lips curling slightly, thinking that they really wouldn’t let her be in peace.

Hannah looked at an angry Elia, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her behind her.

Then, she walked to the bed with a smiling face, placing the supplements she bought on the cabinet beside her, smiling as she said, "Maya, how is your health improving?"

Behind her, Elia watched her mother feign concern, saw her humbling herself, and felt both disdain and pity in her heart.

In the past, her mother had never shown such courtesy to anyone. Now, for Maya’s sake, she wasn’t living happily.

The more Elia thought about it, the more upset she felt. So she pulled Hannah aside and let her go.

Then she quickly grabbed Maya’s wrist, dragged her out of bed, and angrily questioned, "Maya, you’re about to marry Third Brother, why are you still getting involved with Henry Reid? He was about to forget you until you shielded him from alcohol. What are your intentions?"

"I’ve seen shameless people, but never someone as shameless as you. When someone pursued you, you didn’t want them. Now that they have their own life, you insist on meddling. Are you crazy?"

Whenever Elia thought of Henry being moved by Maya and becoming her little follower, circling around her all day, she felt unhappy.

In her heart, she had already cursed Maya a hundred times, hoping she’d meet a terrible end and never find peace.

If there were no consequences for murder, she wished she could grab a pillow and smother Maya to death, so she couldn’t seduce Henry anymore.

On the hospital bed, Maya looked at the furious Elia, nonchalantly rolling her eyes and shaking off her hand.

Then she lifted her head, looked at Elia, and coldly insulted, "Lunatic."

Beside her, Hannah looked at Maya’s arrogant attitude, gritting her teeth in anger.

She tried to suppress her inner anger, accusing, "Maya, this is your fault. Why do you have to provoke Henry Reid when you’re doing fine?"

Originally, Hannah had always wanted Elia to marry into the Graham Family. Unfortunately, not only was Maya unwilling, but Xavier Graham didn’t even pay attention to the matter.

Seeing her declining status in the Spencer Family, she could only hope that Elia’s sincere affection would move Henry and that she could marry into the Reid Family.

Maya looked at the imposing mother and daughter, not even bothering to explain herself to them.

Thus, she said indifferently, "Because I want to!"

There was no changing the nature of a person easily! Maya just couldn’t change her sharp tongue, especially in front of Hannah and Elia.

Elia heard the phrase "I want to" and exploded! She raised her hand and slapped Maya across the face.

Instantly, Maya was dazed. She didn’t expect that with her current status, Elia would still dare to lay a hand on her, not fearing she’d get her skin torn off?

At the same time, Maya harbored another feeling towards Elia, perhaps sympathy, perhaps helplessness.

Loving someone to such a lowly extent was something Maya could never do, or so she thought.

She never imagined that one day she might be even more lowly than Elia.

Hannah, seeing Elia’s first move, panicked and quickly grabbed her hand, whispering, "Elia, didn’t we agree not to fight?"

"She’s being shameless!" Elia gritted her teeth and swore angrily.

Listening to Elia’s insults, Maya lifted her right hand, touched her face, and while not caring said, "Elia, I don’t have the energy to hit you today. I’ll remember this slap for later."

Elia, hearing Maya’s threat, smirked and said, "Fine! Then remember another one."

She finished speaking and lunged at Maya; since she had already offended her, she might as well offend her a bit more.

"Fourth sister, you’re quite brave! Liam Spencer is watching the live broadcast! I wonder what kind of death he’d arrange for you?" As Elia lunged toward the hospital bed, a long-lost familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.
