Chapter 1994 It Is Not That Simple
“Can’t you just tell us the entire story in the beginning? We thought that Wilbur is de—”
Mabel stopped herself as she glanced at the others. She cleared her throat and continued, “I’m glad he’s been saved! That’s great news!”
However, she was cursing in her heart. Which idiot went to save him? Ahh! Dear God, why don’t you let him die? No one will fight for the inheritance with Nic if he’s dead, and I won’t need to worry about him avenging his mother. He’s better off dead!
“Which hospital is he in? We should get there as soon as possible,” Nicholas suggested.
“Y-Yes! Nic is right! We should rush there now!”
As soon as Rodney told them the hospital’s name, Maya was the first to dash out. She wanted to see Wilbur and find out how he was as quickly as possible.
Janice planned to go with them, but she was stopped by Davin’s assistant. Davin merely gave his assistant a glance, and the latter seized her. “Let’s go. You’re going to the police station with me.”
“P-Police station?”
“Of course! Don’t you think you need to pay the price for everything you’ve done?”
“B-But Wilbur…”
“You don’t have to worry about Mr. Simpson. Ms. Maya will take good care of him. Now, move!”
Janice froze for a moment, then she quickly turned and wanted to run away. However, Davin’s assistant caught up with her easily.
“How dare you try to escape! Mr. Davin will punish me if I let you flee under my watch. You’d better be good and go to the police station with me, or else I’ll make you pay for it. I’m not a gentleman.”
Janice struggled for a while, but she was dragged away eventually.
It serves you right! You should spend the rest of your life in prison! Mabel thought when she saw Janice being dragged away.
Maya’s heart was pounding the entire time as she rushed to the hospital. How is Wilbur now? Dear God, please make sure he’s okay. Please don’t let him die!
Nina noticed how worried Maya was, and she held her sister’s hands tightly. “Don’t worry. He’s a good person. He’ll be okay.”
“That’s right, Maya. Wilbur will be fine,” Nicole comforted.
“Did he really jump into the sea because of me? If something happens to him, I’d be the cause of it, right?” Maya looked at Nina and Nicole with a paled expression.
“Maya… Don’t think that way. Mommy said so too, right? He’s going to be okay.”
After a few seconds, Nina continued, “Actually, I feel that something’s off. Do you really think a man like Wilbur would jump off the sea because of Maya? Even if he loves her that much, would he really do that—”
“Nina, what are you trying to say?” Maya asked.
“I’m saying that when we found out you fell into the sea, the first thing we did was to see for ourselves as to whether it was really you. It’s normal for him to be at the beach, but would he really jump into the waters even before seeing your body or any other evidence to prove your death? Don’t you think it’s too hasty?”
“Nina, you’re saying that he should at least confirm my death before he decided to die? But I don’t want him to die even after I’m dead! I want him to be alive and live his life well!” Maya replied while pouting.
“Calm down, Maya. That’s not what I meant. What I’m trying to say is that Wilbur’s incident may not be so simple.”
Maya and Nicole furrowed their brows after hearing Nina’s analysis. “Nina, it’s better that you don’t jump to conclusions before there’s any evidence. Once we see him, we’ll know what happened,” Nicole said.
“I understand, Mommy.”
Meanwhile, Mabel glanced at Rodney, who was sitting next to her. Then, she glanced at Nicholas, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
She wanted to say something to Nicholas, but she couldn’t because Rodney was there. Therefore, she held it in until they arrived at the hospital. As the rest of them rushed to the ward, she tugged on Nicholas’ sleeve. With that, the latter slowed down his footsteps, and the two of them finally had some distance from the others.
