Hot puffs of smoke rose to the top as Maya, who had just finished taking a shower, came out from her bathroom in casual clothes. After sweating all day, Maya finally returned to a fresh look that was no longer as dirty as before. The girl immediately turned her head towards the window in her room, when the familiar sound of a car entered her ears.In the middle of the night, Evan finally returned with Kevin from his work. Maya had to send her lunch and dinner through Kevin, who came home only to pick up things in the afternoon. Evan wasn't usually like this. The man even looked pale as Kevin helped him out of the car and into his wheelchair.Rushing, Maya immediately put away her towel, which she was using to dry her hair before leaving her private room. Maya went straight to the front door, where Evan had just entered in his slow speeding automatic wheelchair.“Are you okay? How did you get this pale after work?”Maya asked as the girl naturally tried to check on Evan as usual. But su
Seeing her husband's reaction, Maya didn't get angry as she finally couldn't help but take a deep breath. The girl studied Evan's leg carefully. Her hands once again traced each part of Evan's legs with a serious face. Maya is a scientist who often dissects human body in the past. She could see that Evan's muscles and nerves were indeed being stimulated back to work right now.“It must be very painful,” Maya thought with pity. The girl carefully helped Evan to sit up while leaning on the thick pile of pillows, before she moved to retrieve the bowl of porridge she had hurriedly cooked before.“I'll compress the area where the pain is unbearable. But you also have to eat, Evan. I just made the porridge earlier, your body will feel better after eating it.”Evan's gaze was complex as Maya didn't mention her tacit decision at all and instead took care of Evan without asking much. The girl's hand movements were smooth and careful, as she slowly began to search for Evan's worst pain points.“
“Are you sure you don't want us to accompany you while you take the exam?”Maya, who had been eating breakfast, immediately looked up when Evan asked once again about whether Maya really believed they should just escort the girl and didn't have to wait for her to finish the exam. To answer her husband's question, Maya once again confidently replied with a nod. The exam will last for three sessions, with a time of two hours per session.Making Evan and Kevin wait for her for six hours like that was really useless, according to Maya. The girl didn't want to trouble them at this busy time. Moreover, Evan also still has to attend the rehabilitation session for today. Maya wouldn't let the two of them wait for her at the place where the exam was being held. She's just going for a test, there's nothing special about it.“I can take a taxi to go home when the exams are over, Evan. As for your lunch … I've prepared lunches that you can warm up in the microwave later. I'll be fine. I've been st
Thirty minutes before the exam started, a flashy car finally stopped where the exam was to be held. However, since Evan's car window material was arranged so that outsiders could not see what was going on inside the car, one could only guess which other rich people were taking part in the university entrance exams this year. Occasionally people would steal glances at Evan's car, just to see who would get off from the luxury car.Unfortunately, Maya didn't pay much attention to the commotion, as she was busy talking to Evan and Kevin the whole time. Only when the car stopped, Maya finally realize that they had arrived at their destination.“Ah, I have to go,” Maya announced. Evan also noticed their surroundings and finally nodded. The man still couldn't appear openly in public right now. He could only lower the car window to the limit of his head, before he spoke softly to his wife.“Good luck on the exam, Finola,” Evan said in a soft voice. Evan's appearance had clearly caused a sudden
“Hello, my name is Finola. You are Diana, right? The only child of Uncle Anton.”The girl called Diana looked surprised for a moment at Maya's initiative to talk to her. Of course Diana knew who Finola was without the girl needing to introduce herself. Finola is the wife of her father's nephew, Evan. And Diana did not expect, a girl like that would want to greet her first like this time.Luckily, Diana was not like her two-faced father. The girl continued to give Maya a polite smile, before reaching out her hand to accept Maya's outstretched hand.“Nice to meet you, Finola. Are you alone? You can join us for lunch if you don't mind.”Maya blinked and looked at Diana, as she didn't expect a cunning person like Anton to have such an innocent child like Diana. But Maya quickly smiled again, as she accepted the offer without hesitation.“Thank you. I really don't know anyone because I missed one year after marrying Evan,” she said honestly. Diana's tablemates also quickly shifted to let Ma
“You actually dare to act arrogant after marrying Evan, don't you?! After what you did to us, how come you still have the courage to show your face in public?!”Maya calmly looked towards the source of the angry voice. From a distance, Grace walked briskly to pull her roughly in the public. With Grace's meager strength, Maya could actually have knocked the girl to the floor before she could speak again. But many pairs of eyes were watching them right now. Maya took that as an advantage. The girl pretended to be an 'obedient little sister', as her expression immediately changed to a confused face that looked surprised at Grace's arrival.“Sis Grace? Why are you here?”Grace growled even more furiously when she saw people starting to look at her with disapproving faces because of the commotion she was causing. She wanted to forcefully drag Maya away from that place, but a hand firmly suddenly stopped her movement.Maya's expression suddenly changed to surprise when she saw Diana was will
“Argh!”Maya furrowed her brows as a deafening scream reached her ears. Behind the thick glass wall, Maya could see someone else writhing in pain with their eyes bulging and turning red like blood could seep out of her eyes in the next second. The man in front of her was fighting for his life. His bulging eyes stared at Maya angrily. That person's lips said something. His voice was not heard, but Maya clearly knew what the person was talking just from the movement of his lips.“I curse you all to have an unpleasant death like me.”Maya watched as the man slowly stopped his resistance and fell limp not long after. The atmosphere around the research lab instantly fell silent. Maya heard a disappointed sigh from next to her. The other fellow researchers sighed, then shook their heads in disappointment, as if the person who had just died was none of their business.“This one failed too. How dare that fellow swear after what we've done for him all this time? He should be happy to have lived
“Glad to see you're okay, Uncle,” Maya said calmly. The girl didn't miss the slightest change in the expression on Anton's face, as she watched the grown man narrow his eyes slightly when he saw Maya, who was always full of meaning in her every action. The two people stared at each other as if they were trying to understand each other's intentions. The atmosphere between the two of them was definitely not good. However, Diana who was naive immediately approached Maya with slightly reddened eyes.“Finola … Please forgive me for being a nuisance to you at that time. I also can't come to visit you before finishing my exam. I ….”“It's okay. You were just trying to help me. What happened to me back then was completely out of your control, Diana.”Diana stopped talking when Finola gave her a friendly pat and smiled gently. The girl's eyes filled with tears. This was the first time Diana had seen danger that close. And maybe the first time too, someone saved her without hesitation like Maya.
