Chapter 1939 Are You Sure
“You—” How could they say that I’m vicious? Janice was mad, but she ignored Mabel and tried to control her emotions before she said, “Okay, then. Once we separate Maya and Wilbur, we’ll all go on our own way.”
Mabel gave Janice a sideways glance. “Sure. And how do you plan to separate them?”
“That will have to wait until I’m discharged from the hospital. But don’t rely solely on me. You guys come up with something too, and perhaps your plan will work better than mine.”
“True. Anyway, after you return to the Simpson residence, I will have to look after you. We can think about it then.”
The thought of Mabel being her caregiver made Janice feel uneasy. Despite so, she knew that it would only be easier to take action if she stayed with them.
With no other business being there and not wanting to look at Janice any longer, Nicholas decided to return to the office. However, Mabel held him back.
It was not easy for her to return to the Simpson residence. Therefore, she hoped that Nicholas could send her home first. “Mom, aren’t you going to stay to take care of her?”
“What’s the point of it? There are doctors and nurses here, so what good would it do if I stayed?”
“But if Dad—”
“Don’t worry, I know what to tell him,” Janice reassured. Then, feigning kindness, she said to Janice, “Get some rest. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call the doctors and nurses. Maya’s mother owns this hospital after all, and it’s Maya’s fault for your miscarriage. It won’t be a problem if you have them at your beck and call.”
Janice watched the pair leave her ward and started laughing at herself.
They said I was vicious. However, is there anyone in the family who is genuinely sad about losing the child? They’re all calculating their interests and striving to maximize their benefits from the situation. This is the Simpsons’ true colors!
“Please don’t blame me, little one. I’m only looking out for myself and you. If you were born into this family, you would never be happy with such a father and grandparents. They only look out for themselves, and I’m sure the family will push Nicholas to marry someone else from a more decent family in the future. With a stepmother, you will have to fight with your stepsiblings, who will not care about your wellbeing. You will end up as an abandoned child, and no one will care about your life or death. I hope you will end up in a better family in your next life,” Janice mumbled to herself.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and a nurse came in. She was puzzled to see that there was no one else in the ward.
“You can have water and some food now. Where’s your family?”
“I don’t have a family. Could you get Ms. Lane to make some arrangements for me?”
When the nurse told Nicole about Janice’s situation, Nicole was shocked too. How could the Simpson family leave Janice alone when she had just lost her child? It was Janice who met with an accident today. If it was Maya, would they do the same?
Bothered by the fact that Janice had lost her child because of Maya, Nicole specially instructed a nurse to look after her. She even went to the ward to show her concern.
“Mrs. Seet, I regard Maya as my sister, and I feel especially comforted to see you.”
“I’m glad to hear that. If you need anything, do not hesitate to let me know.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Seet,” Janice said.
No one from the Simpson family was there to take care of her, but Nicole had arranged for people to make sure her stay was comfortable, and that made her happy.
In the evening, the Seets sat together to discuss the incident. Nina asked Kyle, “How in the world did you acquire Cloud Corporation? How could they have such strong resentment that they wanted to hurt Maya?”
Kyle recalled the acquisition process and was equally surprised by the sudden incident.
“After we discussed the contract terms, they did not express any strong objections, and everything proceeded smoothly. I have no idea why they would take such an extreme approach either.”
Evan, who was sitting beside them, grew solemn. “Are you sure it is someone from Cloud Corporation?”
