"Sweetheart, are you feeling better?" Just as the two were getting intimate, Christopher Scott and the others arrived.
Suddenly interrupted, Maya Spencer imdiately withdrew her gaze, pretending to seriously eat the porridge.
However, Liam Spencer was not pleased, thinking, why did they have to co at this mont?
He finally had a chance to talk about feelings with Maya, to flirt a little, but they just couldn’t wait to ruin it.
So, he turned around and gave them a fierce glare, especially Asher Norton.
"Third brother, did we interrupt you two? How about you continue your lovey-dovey mont, and we’ll leave first?" Christopher Scott, seeing soone’s sharp gaze, instinctively thought it best to retreat.
Hearing the words "lovey-dovey," Maya’s heart trembled, only then realizing she had lost her senses earlier.
She recalled how she acted cute last night, and her expression suddenly beca extrely embarrassing.
For a mont, she finally realized that the relationship between her and Liam was overly ambiguous. The act was too real!
Thinking of this, Maya couldn’t help but wring her small hands together, frowning, not knowing what to do.
Clearly, they agreed it was just an act; how could she forget? How could they show affection when no one else was around?
She hadn’t realized that their private affection exceeded their public displays.
In her panic, she reached out her small hand to grab the porcelain bowl from Liam and said, "Let do it myself!"
Liam thought she was embarrassed by Christopher’s words, so he didn’t hand over the bowl but said tenderly, "You’re still on a drip, how can you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he placed the spoon at his lips, gently blew on it, and tested the temperature with his lips. Only when assured it was at room temperature did he bring it to Maya’s lips, coaxing her to open her mouth as if to a child with a soft "Ah!"
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Beside the hospital bed, everyone watched Liam’s overly sweet deanor, feeling a chill.
Maya felt the man’s tenderness and took a deep breath, warning herself that this was all just an act; she mustn’t take it seriously.
She and Liam despised each other, and this was rely to earn more money.
Thinking this, she comfortably accepted his kindness and continued eating the porridge.
Off to the side, Christopher and the others could no longer bear it. After asking a few questions, they took their leave.
As Asher Norton was leaving, he gave Maya a look, which she understood to an getting rid of Liam.
Apparently, Henry Reid had co to the hospital too, just not entered the room.
After yesterday’s events, Maya also wanted to see Henry Reid to know if her late-night hospital visit was worth it.
So, she acted cute to Liam again, saying, "Liam, I want so tofu pudding from the place across the school, and the dicine makes my mouth taste bitter. Can you bring so candied plums and candies from the snack shop next door?"
Liam looked at her delicate deanor, pinched her chin, leaned down, and kissed her lips, saying, "Alright! I’ll go buy them for you. But when I return, I want an explanation for you drinking and apologizing for soone else—an acceptable explanation."
Maya initially thought that acting cute could let her avoid this matter, but unexpectedly, he was still fixated on it.
However, to get him to leave, she obediently nodded and said, "Okay! I know!"
Anyway, when he cos back, she would play the rogue, telling him it was just an act, and not to take it too seriously.
If that didn’t work, she would honestly reveal her pretentious thoughts.
In the hospital’s underground parking lot, Henry Reid waited for Liam to drive off before stepping out of his car.
He didn’t want to be so cowardly, but one word from Asher Norton made him relent, saying that if he didn’t want to harm Maya, he should avoid Liam.
Currently, the two were proceeding with engagent plans. After Maya ended up in the hospital last night for him, Liam certainly was fuming. To avoid dragging Maya into it, he followed Asher’s advice.
Only after ensuring Liam wouldn’t return did Henry quickly head to the elevator and ascend to Maya’s hospital room.
In the hospital room, Maya sat upright on the bed, waiting for him to arrive.
Seeing Henry wrapped in bandages, she calmly said, "Sit."
When Maya gestured Henry to sit, she was looking at the sofa, but Henry leisurely settled at the edge of her bed.
She glanced at him and didn’t ask him to leave, instead looking at him seriously, seemingly waiting for an answer.
Reflecting overnight, Henry thought about many things and realized he had been too persistent, too single-minded all these years.
Even though he understood this, he still had feelings for Maya.
Then, he raised his right hand, ruffled her hair, and asked, "Feeling better?"
Maya sensed the sincerity in his voice and gaze.
Clearly, the casual, nonchalant deanor was gone.
So, she took a deep breath and calmly said, "I’m fine."
"Maya, I didn’t expect you would save ." Bringing up last night’s events, Henry felt a bit awkward.
The Henry of three years ago seed to have returned.
Maya looked at his awkwardness, stared into his eyes, and asked, "Is a decadent life aningful?"
"Heh!" Henry laughed helplessly at her question.
After laughing, he confessed, "Without you, nothing is aningful."
"Henry, if I hadn’t been so harsh to you back then, would you not be like this?"
"I don’t understand, what wasn’t good enough about that you couldn’t give a chance?"
"Henry, we’ve known each other for quite a while. If I could have feelings for you, why wouldn’t I accept you? Matters of the heart can’t be forced. Even if they can for a mont, they can’t be for a lifeti, you understand?"
"I understand, but I can’t let go." Henry understood the logic but couldn’t put it into practice.
"Actually, during my ti with the Spencer Family, I was grateful to you. Before Ella Turner and Ethan Turner appeared, you were the only one good to . But your feelings are too heavy for , so I had to be harsh and stop you from wasting ti on . I didn’t expect things to turn out like this." This was Maya’s first heart-to-heart with Henry.
Strictly speaking, it was the first ti Maya discussed feelings with a man.
"What if I hadn’t confessed to you?" What frustrated Henry more was that Ethan Turner could be part of her life, but why couldn’t he, even as just a friend.
Hearing his words, Maya said helplessly, "The way you ca into my life wasn’t right. You were associated with the Spencers when you appeared, and you were also soone Elia liked, so I couldn’t treat you like an ordinary person."
Maya didn’t tell him that, in her heart, Henry had always been a friend. If that weren’t the case, she wouldn’t have helped him last night or want him to overco this.
anwhile, in Liam’s car, listening to the conversation through the phone connector, his expression was very serious.
