Chapter 1976 A Living Hell
Sheila finally left the hospital after offering a few more reminders to Nina. When the latter went back into the ward, she saw that Janice was applying ointment on her red and swollen feet.
Even though the ointment was nice and cooling, it felt like her feet were being stabbed by needles every time her hands came into contact. The woman looked up at “Maya,” and anger surged through her. She definitely has something to do with this!
She was about to ask Maya to help her with the ointment out of habit but was afraid that the latter would hurt her again. After pondering for a moment, she finally discarded that idea.
Instead of tormenting her with menial tasks like this, I should make her life a living hell. That way, she won’t ever end up with Wilbur, and I will be free of this concern.
A menacing glint flashed across her eyes. Then, an unexpected pleasant smile appeared on her face as she told “Maya” to go get some rest.
“Thank you for taking care of me over the past few days, Maya. You should head home and rest tonight. Come back tomorrow after getting a good night’s sleep.”
She’s telling me to go back? A contemplative look flashed across Nina’s face as she nodded, surprised at the woman’s words. “Okay. I’ll come see you tomorrow.”
“Sure.” Nina packed up her stuff and left the ward. Right when she arrived at the parking lot, she received a call from Maya.
“I might have to stay at Seet Residence tonight. Is everything all right at the hospital? Can you handle everything? Do you need any help?”
“No. I don’t need any help. Janice told me to head home to rest,” Nina replied.
Of course, Maya was shocked to hear that. After all, Janice didn’t want her to leave the hospital previously. Why would she let Nina head home to rest, then?
“Did something happen, Nina?”
“No. Nothing happened. Have a good rest, Maya. You should see her tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.”
Maybe Janice told Nina to leave tonight because she doesn’t want to torment me anymore. Perhaps she has had enough of it.
However, unbeknownst to her, Janice tossed and turned in bed, thinking of ways to make her life a living hell.
After pondering the matter, she finally managed to come up with a plan.
Even though it was quite a vicious ploy, she was willing to risk it.
You asked for this, Maya…
The next day, rays of sunshine filled the room. By the time Maya woke up, Sheila had gone to the shooting site, Joy and Zayden had gone to school, and Jonathan had gone to work. Sophia was the only one waiting for her for breakfast.
“Did you sleep well last night, Maya?”
“I did, Grandma. It’s just that I woke up a little late.”
“Oh, you didn’t. I heard that you haven’t been resting well these days because you were busy with so many things. You look like you’ve lost some weight too. You should go sleep some more after you eat.”
She knew that her grandma was worried about her, and she could feel the love through her words.
“I can’t sleep anymore, Grandma. I have some stuff to do after breakfast.”
“Dig in then. I’ve prepared your favorites, but they won’t be as good as those you make. You’ll have to make do with it.”
“Please don’t say that, Grandma. You’re too good to me.”
“You’re my granddaughter, silly girl. It’s only normal that I love and care for you.”
Happiness filled Maya’s heart as she stared at Sophia. Even the food she was eating seemed to taste better.
“This is delicious! You should eat too, Grandma.”
“I’ve already eaten. It’s all for you.”
A gentle smile hung on Sophia’s lips. She felt just as happy watching her granddaughter eat.
At that moment, Maya felt that the greatest happiness in her life was having such a great family. I have my parents, siblings, Grandma, Grandpa, and even uncles and aunts who love me. That’s why it doesn’t matter even if a storm was raging outside. Even though it’s uncomfortable when Janice torments me, I won’t let it affect me.
