Chapter 1972 Impersonating Maya
The sisters found a place to switch their outfits, with Nina copying Maya’s appearance by tying her hair into a ponytail and applying light makeup like her sister’s in front of a mirror.
Looking at Nina from head to toe, Maya could not help but feel amazed at how alike they were. It was as though she was staring at her reflection.
“Janice isn’t well, and that’ll affect her temper too. Don’t be like her. After all, she lost her child to save me, so I owe her a big one. Please try to endure it, Nina.”
Nina started to feel annoyed at her sister for speaking up for Janice despite being bullied by her. Looks like Maya is immensely grateful to Janice for saving her.
“You’ve said it twice already. Don’t worry, I know what to do.” “It’s good that you do. I’m going off now. Aunt Sheila’s waiting for me.”
“Okay.” Nina stood there and watched Maya leave, the smile on her face gradually disappearing. The thought of Janice bullying her sister surfaced in her mind, along with her suspicion of Janice’s supposed rescue of Maya and the clues Kyle had found.
She felt that she should test Janice. If the woman was truly the culprit and rescuing Maya was part of her scheme, Nina would torment her to seek justice for Maya before giving her a taste of her own medicine. She would then allow the police to handle the issue of Janice bribing several men to threaten Maya.
Having made up her mind, she stepped into the ward. Janice lifted her head to look at “Maya” upon hearing the sound of the ward door opening. “My legs are uncomfortable, Maya. Help me massage them.”
Nina, who was impersonating Maya, looked at her with her brows raised. Janice is truly enjoying herself, huh! To think that she’s even asking Maya to give her a massage. Well then. Since she asked, I’ll give it to her.
Nina grabbed a chair, sat down by the bed, and started to give Janice a massage. The latter shot a look at “Maya.” She used to crouch down when massaging me, but now she’s sitting on a chair? Is she complaining that doing this is too tiring?
She rolled her eyes in disdain. “You’re using too little strength, Maya. How will there be any effect?”
Nina raised her head to look at Janice. Too little strength? So fussy. Well, as you wish then. Clenching her fists tightly, she threw several blows on Janice’s legs.
“Ow! W-Why did you hit me, Maya?”
Nina deepened her voice to sound like Maya. “It was you who told me to use more strength!”
After saying that, she let out a few coughs for fear of Janice seeing through the impersonation. “Sorry about that. I’m having a cold, and my throat hurts, so my voice sounds a little different.”
Janice gave her a once-over but did not notice anything unusual. What she cared about was “Maya” hitting her hard, so she began to argue over the issue.
“I told you to use more strength, but I didn’t say you can hit me! Are you finding it too tough to take care of me and are getting impatient, so—”
“No, you’re overthinking it!”
Nina outright denied it, leaving Janice in shock.
She assumed that Maya resented her for the past torment and was now planning to take revenge on her. Looks like I can’t allow her to get too close to me for the sake of my safety. What if she tries to hurt me?
“Get me a basin of water, Maya. I wish to soak my feet.”
She has the audacity to ask me, no, “Maya” to fetch her some water for a foot bath? She sure has the guts to order Maya around!
A trace of anger flashed across Nina’s eyes before she nodded. “Very well.”
She turned to walk to the bathroom but was stopped by Janice again.
“Go and buy me a foot-soaking bath basin, Maya. The previous one was not very comfortable.”
Nina glanced at the time. It was already ten at night, and the mall would have already closed by then. She proposed to buy it the next day, but Janice’s expression soured.
“The mall to the east of the hospital should still be open, Maya. Go and take a look there. You need not buy the most expensive one. Something within the price range of several tens of thousands will do. Also, get some foot-soaking salts.”
