Chapter 1937 A Debt
Mabel was speechless. Well, they refused to listen to me. Regardless, the Seets owe this child’s life to Nicholas. “Ah, I must be getting old. My heart hurt because I couldn’t deal with such a blow. I’m sorry all of you had to see this.”
Moments later, Rodney rushed over. When he saw Janice’s expression, he could only sigh. Unlike Mabel, he did not cry but subtly expressed his heartache of losing a grandson.
“Dad, don’t be too upset. I guess it’s worth losing this child. After all, Maya is okay. If those people had taken her, I dare not imagine what would have happened.” Janice attempted to comfort Rodney.
“Yes, at least Maya is all right,” Nicholas chimed in. “Maya and I will remember what you’ve done today, Janice, and we’ll return the favor someday.”
Hearing that, Janice quickly responded, “Wilbur, please don’t get the wrong idea. I don’t mean to ask you for anything in return. I just hope for Maya to be okay.”
Her face looked pale, but she was celebrating inwardly, for she had successfully gotten rid of the child that she had by accident and gained Maya’s trust thanks to this incident.
Now, the Seet family owed her. And indeed, she had killed two birds with one stone. Meanwhile, Nicholas looked at Janice with disdain.
Although she had helped him, she had ruthlessly killed his child in the process. To him, she was like a poisonous scorpion and he planned to stay away from her in the future. As Rodney glanced at Mabel, his expression dimmed.
Mabel’s heart pounded when she noticed his gaze, so she hurriedly explained, “I came over in a hurry when I heard that Janice had lost the baby. I’m sorry for not informing you sooner. I was too flustered by the chaos.”
Rodney remained silent for a while before he said, “Janice will need someone to look after her once she’s discharged from the hospital. You should return to the Simpson residence to take care of her.”
His decision took Mabel by surprise. Tears filled her eyes as she stammered, “O-Okay! I’ll listen to you and go back home.”
After that, she deliberately shot Wilbur a look.
Upon witnessing the scene, Nina quietly complained to Maya, “The Simpson family will not be at peace anymore when she gets home. Mabel is such an actress. Why is she sobbing just because Rodney allowed her back? Maya, you have to be more careful in the future.”
“I know.”
“Don’t be too hard on yourself over Janice’s child. It isn’t your fault. You don’t have to put up with her because of this. If she’s kind, she will not blame it on you and make things difficult for you.”
“I know.”
At the side, Wilbur’s expression darkened. He knew that their peaceful days would be over when Mabel returned.
They had yet to obtain evidence that pinned the reason for his mother’s death. Therefore, he could not openly declare revenge.
The only thing he could not take was if someone tried to drag Maya down. If Mabel wanted to play games with him, he would gladly take up the challenge. However, if she went after Maya, he would make her pay a hundredfold.
“Janice, you should get some rest. This is my mother’s hospital, so you can treat it as your home. If you need anything, feel free to look for doctors or nurses. I think Maya has been through enough, so I’ll take her back first,” Nina said.
Janice nodded. “Okay. Maya, don’t overthink. You have nothing to do with the baby. It’s all my fault for failing to protect him.”
“Have a good rest.”
Maya gave a neutral response before leaving the ward with Nina. Wilbur followed behind them.
Only Nicholas, Mabel, Rodney, and Janice remained in the ward. Mabel sighed and in the presence of Rodney, she said to Janice, “Janice, you should have made Maya stay to look after you so that she could express her regret and gratitude. You shouldn’t have let her go so easily.”
