Chapter 1965 Maya As A Maid
Maya scanned Janice. “Is there a reason you needed me here so urgently?”
“N-Not really. I just miss you. I feel uneasy if you’re not around. I don’t even have any appetite for chicken soup.” Mabel smirked and joked, “You’ll be eating the bowl if you eat more.”
The large bowl of chicken soup was already empty. Saying she doesn’t have an appetite while holding an empty bowl; how shameless!
Janice looked down at the clean bowl and laughed awkwardly. “Maya, have you eaten? The chicken soup you bought was delicious. Come have a bowl.”
“I’ve already eaten.” Stunned by Maya’s rejection, Janice glanced at the dirty hospital gown off to the side. “Maya, can you help me wash my hospital gown? Thank you.”
Maya was baffled. Isn’t it too early for you to thank me? I haven’t even agreed yet. “I think it might be better to leave the laundry to the caretaker. I’ve never done laundry before, so it might not be clean.”
Janice was dumbstruck. “That’s fine. I won’t be disgusted by it. I’ll wear anything you wash.” Even if you’re willing to wear it, that doesn’t mean I’m willing to wash it.
“Janice, let me hire a caretaker for you. She’ll take care of your meals and basic needs. She’ll even clean your room and wash your clothes. It’ll be more convenient for you to look for her if you have any problems too.”
Not letting Janice have a chance to reject, Maya swiftly spun on her heels and left the room to hire a caretaker.
With her arms folded over her chest, Mabel mocked, “You ordered her around too much yesterday. It’s a no-brainer that she will have her guard up today. Once there’s a caretaker, I wonder what else you can make her do.”
Janice stayed silent for a while, then looked up at Mabel. “Hiring a caretaker means nothing. Even if she hires ten caretakers, I can still order her around if I want to.”
Mabel observed her with a smirk. “We shall wait and see.”
Maya led the caretaker she hired to Janice’s ward and had her wash Janice’s hospital gown.
When the caretaker went to the laundry room to wash the gown, Janice suddenly complained about her leg hurting and asked Maya to massage it.
“I don’t know how, though.”
“It’s fine if you don’t know how. Just do it like how you did last night. Sorry for the trouble, Maya.”
Janice rubbed her stomach intentionally with a sad look.
Maya knew what Janice was implying. The latter was reminding her the baby was gone because of her.
Fine, I’ll bear with it! I’ll massage her to repay her for what she did.
Maya began massaging Janice’s legs as the latter sat on the bed.
“Maya, put more strength into it.”
Once Maya did so, Janice yelped, “Maya, don’t be so forceful! That hurt a lot.”
I can’t do it softly nor forcefully. How difficult.
“How about this?”
Maya made sure her strength was just the right pressure. Janice’s heart filled with smug delight as she watched Maya serving her so carefully like a maid.
“Yeah. This is fine.”
Maya continued to massage Janice’s legs. Mabel didn’t expect Janice to be so difficult. It looks like Maya won’t be having a good day today either.
Once the caretaker came back and saw Maya massaging Janice’s legs, she immediately stepped up. “Let me do it.”
“Sure. Since you’re trained, your skills must be better than mine.”
The caretaker nodded with a smile. “We must pass a test before we can get the professional certification to be a caretaker. Learning how to massage acupoints is a must.”
With that said, she began to massage Janice in place of Maya.
Unexpectedly, Janice had an opinion about the caretaker’s professional touch. She nitpicked how the latter’s massaging skill wasn’t as comfortable as Maya’s, so she insisted Maya do it.
The caretaker’s expression turned awkward. “We are professionally trained. Maybe you’re not used to it yet, but you’ll feel comfortable soon.”
