Chapter 1973 Retaliate
Nina was taken aback. “All right, I’ll go. Just wait here.” Walking out of the ward, the corners of her mouth curved upward, revealing a sly smile. “You want me to wait on you as you soak your feet? Very well. I’ll let you have an unforgettable experience.”
Back in the ward, Janice was discussing the earlier matter with Mabel. “I told you that the daughter of the Seets wouldn’t tolerate being bullied by you. She hit you hard, didn’t she?”
“It doesn’t matter if she hit me once or twice. Besides, I’ll make her pay for this. She won’t be getting any sleep tonight!”
Mabel smirked as she scrutinized Janice in amusement. She was looking forward to the drama later. Should Maya be serious about fighting back, I wonder what she’ll do in the face of Janice’s fussiness? If Nic can deal with Wilbur and cause him to break up with Maya and lose the support of the Seets, then I’m not concerned about what happens to Janice.
It even occurred to her that should Maya truly fight back, she could either enjoy the show from the side or offer the latter some assistance. Getting Maya to owe me a favor may come in handy in the future.
An hour later, Nina pushed the door open and walked in. “Why are you empty-handed, Maya?” Janice asked, sounding displeased. Nina smiled before shouting at the direction of the door, “Come in!”
The sales assistant walked in with a foot-soaking bath basin. After setting in down, she began introducing the product to Janice. “This basin is the most expensive one in our mall. You’ll definitely enjoy using it.”
A wide smile appeared on Janice’s face. Looks like Maya is still very obedient. Maybe her mind wandered off just now, so those hits weren’t intentional. “I wish to soak my feet now. Are there any foot-soaking salts?”
“Yes!” As the sales assistant took out the salts from the basin, Janice glanced at the packaging and smiled in satisfaction. “I shall trouble you to get the water ready for me, Maya.”
“Sure.” Without hesitation, Nina happily did as she was told. Janice was delighted to see that and even shot Mabel a smug look. Didn’t she say that Maya would stir up trouble? Look at her now. She’s so obedient!
Mabel was also surprised. Has she finished venting her anger after a mere few hits? Is she going to allow Janice to continue bullying her? Huh! The daughter of the Seets is quite patient and submissive, it seems!
After preparing the water and adding the salts, Nina called out to Janice to soak her feet.
Janice refused to do it in the bathroom. Hence, she ordered for the basin to be brought out so she could soak her feet while sitting on the bed.
Nina wordlessly did as she was told.
Sitting up on the bed, Janice placed her feet into the basin and leisurely enjoyed it.
The water temperature was just right, and the scent of the salts was pleasant, so she felt very comfortable.
“Maya, the water temperature is just right. Looks like you’re very suitable for this task.”
Suitable? You won’t be saying that in a while. Let’s see how long you can stay this comfortable.
Mabel glanced at the smug expression on Janice’s face and then at Maya with a smirk. Maya is truly a pushover!
After a few minutes, Janice suddenly complained that her legs were itchy, as though something was biting her.
She drew her legs out of the basin to examine them before gazing at the water with confusion written all over her face.
“What’s going on? Why are my legs so itchy?”
Nina went over to have a look. “Itchy? There’s nothing on your legs, so how can they be itchy?”
Janice began to scratch her legs. After a while, she complained that her legs also hurt along with itching.
“Hurry! Call the doctor over now!”
“Okay. Wait here. I’ll go get him.”
Nina let out a long exhale as she walked out of the ward. She then leisurely strolled down the corridors with a smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Janice was going crazy from the itch in the room. Mabel glanced at her before walking to her side to take a closer look at her feet. They aren’t red or swollen, so how can they be itchy?
