Chapter 2014 Someone Targets Wilbur
Maya pondered over her plan with Wilbur for quite some time. Before going to bed, Maya purposely put her phone near her ear to eavesdrop on Wilbur’s situation. If someone bullied him, she would know it and go to his rescue as soon as possible.
Later, Maya lay on the bed and fell asleep soon. As she thought about Wilbur so much, she even dreamed about him. In Maya’s dream, Wilbur stood on the patch of grass as the sun shone on him. At that time, he held a little windmill and smiled like a cheerful kid.
Maya came up to Wilbur and asked smilingly, “The little windmill is beautiful! Where did you get it?”
Wilbur replied, “I made it myself.” “Do you know how to make a windmill?”
“The kid likes it. It’s why I made it for her.” “The kid?”
When Maya was bewildered, Wilbur pointed at Maya’s back. Maya turned around and saw a chubby baby on the patch of grass nearby. The baby was so beautiful and adorable that one would think she came from a perfect drawing.
Maya couldn’t help but want to hug the chubby baby. However, the baby disappeared as soon as she reached out her hand. What’s going on?
Maya turned to Wilbur but was even more shocked, for he had also disappeared.
Suddenly, the sky turned gloomy with dark clouds, and the patch of grass turned into a stone road. Maya felt that the entire world was spinning, as though she was traveling in time. “Wilbur! Wilbur—”
Maya shouted and jolted awake. After taking a few deep breaths, she caught a glimpse of the lights in her room and realized that she had a dream just now. Nonetheless, Maya vividly remembered the snippets of memories, including the baby, the little windmill, and Wilbur’s smiling face.
Maya couldn’t help but feel curious about why she would have such a dream. Then, she turned around to grab her phone from the container and scrolled on it to check if Wilbur was doing fine.
At first, all Maya could hear was silence. After a while, she heard a door click shut, and it fell silent once again. She thought Wilbur had gone to the washroom.
“It’s good to know that no one bullies you and that you’re safe,” she murmured before lying down to continue sleeping. Tossing and turning restlessly, Maya couldn’t fall asleep.
After the alarm rang, Maya got out of bed, freshened herself up, and headed toward the dining room to have breakfast. When Maya saw Nicole, she asked Nicole when the famous doctors would arrive at Y City to treat Wilbur.
Nicole told Maya that one of the doctors was set to arrive in the evening. Also, Nicole promised to tell Maya so that she could go to the Simpson residence together and check up on Wilbur.
In that case, I have to sort out everything in the food plaza in the morning.
After hastily chomping down some food, Maya stood up. “Daddy, Mommy, I’m done eating and have to head to work now.”
After Evan nodded in response, Maya left the dining room. Nicole was heartbroken while watching Maya leave. “Maya looks pale these days. She must have lost her appetite and can’t sleep well because of Wilbur’s situation.”
“Our kids have grown up and must experience ups and downs in their life. There are things that we can’t do for them. Now, we can only hope that Wilbur will get well soon.”
“I can’t help but think Wilbur’s health condition is strange. When I checked his pulse and ran a few checkups, I didn’t notice anything physically wrong with him.”
“Nicole, what are you trying to say?”
“Nina used to say it was strange that Wilbur jumped into the sea to commit suicide. Now, I think she was right about it. Even though Wilbur was deeply in love with Maya, he would have to confirm that she was dead before committing suicide. How could he jump into the sea just because of some trending news on the internet?”
“Are you suspecting that… someone targeted Wilbur?” Evan asked.
“Yes.” Nicole nodded in response.
“I’ll instruct my subordinates to figure it out. By the way, if Wilbur’s mind remains unsound, are you willing to let Maya live with him?”
Nicole used to think and ask herself the same question.
