Chapter 1970 Something Fishy
Previously at Bernian Hospital, Janice would often bring up the loss of her child to make Maya feel guilty. Now that she’s in a different hospital, she’ll definitely make a fuss over this issue again to give Maya a hard time. That foolish sister of mine is a righteous person. Would she allow Janice to bully her for the sake of repaying her debt of gratitude?
At that thought, Nina immediately went upstairs, grabbed her bag, and hurried out of the house. “It’s so late now. Where are you off to, Ms. Nina?” the maid asked.
“The hospital,” was her curt reply. Twenty minutes later, Nina arrived there by car. The brightly lit hospital stood out against the dark of the night.
After parking the car, she headed toward the inpatient department. She was about to call Maya to enquire where she was when she saw her sister heading in her direction, some flowers and a box in her hands.
She intended to go over and greet Maya but stopped and hid at a corner after taking two steps. Upon seeing Maya walking toward the inpatient department, she secretly followed her. She wished to see for herself if Janice was making her sister’s life difficult.
Janice put on a bright smile upon seeing Maya pushing the ward door open and coming in. “You’re back, Maya. The flowers look great this time.”
Maya nodded. “I bought what you wanted, so it’s good that you like them.” “Arrange those flowers then, Maya.”
With a nod, Maya did as she was told. Meanwhile, Janice unwrapped the perfume that the former had bought and shrieked like a banshee after taking a whiff of it.
“Urgh! Why did you get this scent, Maya? It’s so strong and unpleasant!”
“Do you not like it? It’s Ultimate Goddess by Lancôme, a classic of theirs. It’s a classy fragrance with the powder of iris blending with the sweet aroma of flowers and fruits. It smells very good and isn’t strong at all. I specially selected it for you. Smell it again.”
Janice picked it up and took another whiff before insisting that she did not like it, telling Maya to exchange it for another.
Maya knew that the other woman would not be satisfied with anything she bought on the first try. It was completely normal for Janice to torment her a couple of times.
“If that’s the case, what brand and scent do you like? I’ll go change it to that.”
“I like… Chance by Chanel. Change it to that.”
Maya froze momentarily before nodding her head and taking the perfume.
Seeing as her sister was about to come out, Nina hurried over to stand in front of another ward with her back facing her. Maya won’t pass by this area on the way downstairs, so she probably won’t see me.
Her guess was right. Maya walked in the opposite direction upon leaving the ward.
Nina turned around and sighed helplessly. Janice is truly picky. She’s thinking about spraying perfume even when hospitalized. I guess sickness can’t stop her from being a vixen!
Tiptoeing her way toward the ward, she could hear Janice and Mabel’s conversation from outside the room.
“Isn’t it just a perfume? Can’t you make do with any scent? You did that on purpose, didn’t you? No matter what she buys, you’ll get her to change it!” Mabel remarked.
The woman in the hospital scoffed as she fiddled with her nails. “Watching her running around gives me a sense of satisfaction. When she comes back with the perfume, I’ll get her to massage my legs. I’m determined to make her suffer tonight!”
Foot massage? Janice sure knows how to enjoy life! It seems like Maya has gone through quite a lot of bullying.
“Aren’t you afraid that she’ll get angry?” Mabel asked.
“It’s not like I told her to do something extreme. Since she’s willing to stay back and look after me, I’ll get her to take care of my needs. Why should she get angry? If she does, it’ll simply show how ungrateful she is. The baby in my womb was—”
“That’s enough. There’s only us two here. We both know what happened to your child, so you don’t have to make yourself seem so noble in front of me,” said Mabel with a glance.
Stunned by those words, Janice glanced at her and kept quiet.
Nina was overwhelmed with curiosity from her position outside the door. What’s that supposed to mean? What’s this about the child in Janice’s womb? Could there be something fishy going on? Kyle’s investigating this matter. I wonder how it’s going?
