Chapter 1974 Evidence
“Does it actually itch, or are you putting on an act so that you can order Maya around?” Mabel asked softly. Janice looked up at her and quickly said, “I’m not! It actually does itch. Would I still be acting like this even when she’s not around? Could you look and see if there’s anything in the water?”
Mabel took a glance at the basin before saying in disgust, “There’s nothing in there.” “How can that be? My legs…”
Right then, Janice suddenly thought of when Maya hit her legs. Did she do something to the water?
Was she just pretending to listen to me when she’s actually playing dirty behind my back?
“Maya! Where’s Maya? Why hasn’t she brought the doctor here?”
“How would I know?”
“Have a look and call a doctor over to help me.” Seeing that she wasn’t acting, Mabel got up reluctantly and went to get help.
When the doctor came and checked on her, he noticed that there wasn’t any redness or swelling, but she was still itching uncontrollably. He didn’t know what was wrong with her, so he suggested that she get it checked out with professional equipment.
“All right. I’ll do it. I’m willing to do anything as long as you can get the itchiness to stop.”
“Okay. Follow me.”
Janice looked over at Mabel and said, “Mrs. Simpson, I don’t know what Maya is doing right now. Could you help me up?”
The latter frowned with a look of disgust. “I’ll go get a nurse. I’m afraid I can’t hold you up properly since I’m getting older now. I might not be able to live the rest of my life properly if something were to happen.”
Janice only cared about her legs and wasn’t in the mood to argue with her. The nurse came soon after and helped her to the examination room.
A few moments later, Nina’s phone rang. Sheila had arrived at the hospital and was asking about her whereabouts.
The latter rushed over after finding out where she was.
“How are you, Nina? Janice didn’t put you in a bad spot, did she? Were you taken advantage of?”
“I’m not an overly sympathetic person, Aunt Sheila. Maya’s someone who knows how to show gratitude toward others. How would I be taken advantage of?”
“That’s true. I know you’re an outstanding person. Where’s Janice? Why isn’t there anyone in the room?”
“She went to get checked up.”
“What kind of check-up?”
Nina then told her about what had happened.
“I see. It serves her right. How dare she tell Maya to prepare a foot bath for her. She doesn’t know any better.”
“She’s going to be back soon, Aunt Sheila. Do you want to leave first?”
“Why should I leave? I came because I wanted to stand up for Maya. Since she told Maya to prepare a foot bath for her, I should prepare a gift in return for what she’s done.”
Then, she added, “Do you think she purposely aborted the baby in her belly to set Maya up?”
“Yes. But we haven’t caught those men who have been bribed by her, so we don’t have the evidence yet.”
Sheila pondered about it for a moment before saying, “Well, we can get Janice to give us the evidence herself.”
“I agree. What’s your plan, Aunt Sheila?”
A slight smirk appeared on the woman’s lips as she leaned closer to Nina to tell her about the plan.
“All right. I’ll cooperate with you.”
Both of them were on the same page, and they decided to show Janice just how powerful the Seets were. They were going to make her regret ever bullying Maya.
Meanwhile, anger was written all over Janice’s face as she got her examination done.
Her feet were covered in rashes.
The doctor told her that it was due to her touching something she was allergic to. There weren’t any rashes earlier as the allergens did not spread quickly.
“Is it because of the foot-soaking salts?”
The woman requested that the doctor checks on the salts again. She wanted to see for herself if there was anything wrong with it.
If there really is something wrong with it, it’s either due to quality issues during its production or Maya had done something to it!
