Chapter 1716 Let The Kids Solve Their Own Problems
“Maya, have you ever thought that maybe he has his own reasons? There could be something more than meets the eyes.”
Reason? More than meets the eye?
Busting out laughing, Maya retorted, “How can there be another reason for his doings? If there’s really more to it, then he could have explained!”
Glancing at the serious Maya, Nina stated, “Maybe it’s something he can’t explain. I think he would’ve done so if he could.”
Maya was baffled by the other woman’s words but still refuted, “I don’t think so! All those times when he used to treat me well were a lie! He’s a jerk! Don’t bring him up in front of me ever again, Nina, and don’t mention any other guys.”
“Don’t mention any other guys? Isn’t your future husband a guy too? Don’t tell me you’re planning to get married to a girl?”
“I won’t have a husband! I can live my life well on my own! There’s no way I’m going to look for another headache.”
Nina frowned at her firm declaration. I thought Maya had overcome her fear of marriage, but it looks it’s back. Wilbur, are you Maya’s angel or devil? Her fear of marriage seems to have gotten worse after your incident. No! As Maya’s sister, I can’t just let her be. I have to find out what went down between Wilbur and that woman.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom upstairs, Nicole was asking Evan, who had just gotten out of the shower, about Wilbur.
“Did Wilbur explain to you about his relationship with that pregnant woman when he went to meet you at the office today?”
After drying his hair, Evan set the towel aside and took a seat across from Nicole. “Let the kids settle their own problems, Nicole.”
What does he mean by that?
“Will Maya continue dating Wilbur, then? I notice she’s in a bad mood these days, but she keeps putting on a brave front. Even though she keeps her smiling face in front of others, I know she’s upset inside. It’s plain to see she has feelings for Wilbur.”
“Nicole, Wilbur’s matter is related to the Simpson family, so it’s best if we don’t get involved. As for Maya and Wilbur, let’s just go with the flow.”
Upon hearing that, Nicole was surprised. I didn’t know Wilbur’s matter was related to the Simpson family. If that’s the case, then that woman’s background and motive are not as simple as it looks. I heard that the relationship within the Simpson family is complicated and messy. Can my innocent Maya win against that kind of cunning woman? Maybe she doesn’t suit the conniving Simpson family. Evan is right. Let’s just go with the flow.
“Nicole, let the kids settle their own problems. You’re busy enough as it is with Bernian Hospital’s affairs. Don’t worry about them.”
Nicole smiled and nodded.
Then, as if recalling something, she turned to Evan somberly. “Two patients with strange cases had been admitted today.”
“Huh? How strange?”
“I have never seen the symptoms they’re presenting before. Their body temperature kept fluctuating. One minute they were sweating bullets, then they would be shivering the next. If I haven’t seen it with my own two eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
Evan was stunned at her description. It was a first for him as well to encounter such strange symptoms.
“Do you have the confidence to treat them?”
Nicole shook her head after pondering for a while.
“It was my first time, too. Their frantic pulses indicate they have been poisoned, but they insisted they didn’t consume anything poisonous. Other than their fluttering body temperature, they don’t show any other symptoms. I have no idea where to start, but I have contacted Wesley for help. Maybe he’ll know since he’s knowledgeable.”
“Nicole, just try your best. If you can’t help them, refer them to other highly skilled doctors.”
