Liam stared at Maya for a mont, then bit his lip and said sincerely, "Maya, there’s still sothing I’ve been hiding from you."
When Maya heard that Liam still had sothing he was hiding, she opened her eyes wide, imdiately turned around, and stared directly at Liam with a frown, asking, "Liam, just confess, what else are you hiding from ?"
Maya grew nervous. At that mont, she couldn’t think of anything Liam would have to hide from her, so she began to imagine all sorts of things, wondering if Liam secretly liked another girl.
For Maya, the scariest thing at the mont was Liam suddenly not liking her anymore.
Seeing the girl’s nervous expression, Liam half-closed his eyes, stared at her, and asked, "What are you suspecting, little thing? You look so worried."
"Don’t worry about what I’m suspecting. Just tell honestly, what else are you hiding from ?"
Seeing her so serious, Liam decided not to beat around the bush since this matter was very serious and not sothing to joke about.
So he said very solemnly, "Actually, three years ago, I found out that your mother did commit suicide and not murder as you thought. The reason for her suicide was because she suddenly realized you’re not Edward’s child, but Jas’s."
"She always believed you were Edward’s child, so she couldn’t accept this truth and killed herself. I discovered this while investigating your biological father."
Liam had doubts about Madelyn’s cause of death and Maya’s identity when Madelyn died. So, he checked Maya’s DNA and unexpectedly found out Maya wasn’t a child of the Spencers. Driven by curiosity and wanting to find out if the Spencers were the culprits, he continued investigating and unexpectedly uncovered Maya’s identity and Madelyn’s cause of death.
At that ti, he thought Madelyn’s reason for suicide was too cruel, without any consideration for her daughter, so he tore out the last few pages of Madelyn’s diary.
However, that diary remained with Jas, who never read it; otherwise, he could have long told Maya who her biological father was.
These matters sparked Liam’s curiosity about Maya even before returning to the Spencer Family. He wanted to know what kind of girl Maya was, whose mother could leave her so heartlessly.
When he first t Maya, he didn’t dislike her and found her coldness and harshness sowhat similar to himself. Unfortunately, his grandfather used her as a pawn, which is why he was always at odds with her, never expecting to eventually like her so much.
On the single sofa beside the bed, Maya was dumbfounded upon hearing about her mother’s suicide through Liam’s words. She never imagined that her mother killed herself because Maya wasn’t Edward’s daughter.
Maya’s mind was a bit ssy, and for a mont, she didn’t know what to do.
She never imagined that her mother’s love for Edward was so foolishly persistent.
Maya knew her mother lived her life feeling guilty, thinking she let Old Master Spencer down. But why didn’t she understand to look back and see that Edward wasn’t alone, that he had Hannah, his own wife, and he wasn’t single-hearted. Why couldn’t she appreciate Jas?
Upon learning the reason for her mother’s suicide, Maya suddenly felt a bit ironic. However, she felt thankful she wasn’t Edward’s daughter since that man didn’t deserve to be her father. She even had a bit of hatred for him, wondering why, when he never planned to give her mother a ho, he still had to provoke her?
Perhaps out of guilt, Edward never revealed, even though he knew from Maya’s birth that she wasn’t his daughter, and he raised her still.
Edward didn’t expect that such a person like him could actually have a woman truly care for him, yet it’s a pity he failed her.
Liam, seeing Maya frozen, imdiately stood up from the sofa, walked to her side, gently patted her back, and comforted her, "Maya, it’s all in the past. Your mother lived her life too burdened and lonely; maybe leaving was a form of relief for her."
Liam didn’t tell Maya that Madelyn also suffered from depression, which was why she was so obsessive and fixated on Edward, unable to see Jas’s rits, and that Maya’s depression was hereditary.
He feared that knowing, Maya might overthink, causing her hard-earned peace to be disturbed again.
anwhile, he was confident that his love could protect Maya, ensuring she’d never fall ill again, and would never let her beco a second Madelyn.
Maya was much luckier than Madelyn; she had Liam, who gave her so much love and healed her.
Listening to Liam’s comfort, Maya took a deep breath, raised her hands, and hugged Liam’s waist tightly, her small face resting on his stomach, staring at Jas, and softly responded, "Yeah! I know."
Maya’s feelings for Liam made him more compliant, taught her to compromise and give and take, and precisely because of this, she beca happier and happier.
"Maya is so good!" Liam gently stroked her small face for comfort.
...
The next day, the new doctor Liam had brought in perford another minimally invasive surgery on Jas, removing the blood clots and injecting the newly developed blood-producing and circulation-boosting dicine.
In the hospital room, Maya watched Jas, still in a deep sleep, feeling her heart helplessly clench as she waited for him to wake up.
However, this wait lasted until the third day after the surgery, when Jas’ eyelids finally twitched slightly.
Maya, who was keeping watch beside him, saw Jas’s eyelids move and imdiately jumped up from the chair, grabbing Liam’s hand and excitedly exclaid, "Brother, he moved. My dad’s eyelids just moved."
Seeing Maya’s excitent, Liam quickly bent down, leaning close to Jas to observe him carefully.
At that mont, Jas’s eyelids twitched again, and Liam imdiately pressed the alarm button to call the doctor over.
Monts later, the doctor and nurses ca in a flurry. Just as they were examining him, Jas suddenly opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, it was as if he knew all along where Maya stood, his eyes vacant yet unwaveringly locked onto Maya, concern apparent in his gaze.
Though he’d been unconscious these days, he felt Maya’s care for him.
In his sleep, he heard Maya’s cries and her calling him dad, but frustratingly, he couldn’t wake up to hold her.
Today, he finally overca countless obstacles to open his eyes.
Turns out, his intuition hadn’t been wrong; Maya was indeed by his side, always accompanying him.
Jas feared it was an illusion, worried that his yearning for Maya conjured a mirage.
So, staring intently at Maya, he struggled and called out, "Maya, Maya!"
Maya, hearing Jas call her, instantly teared up and quickly approached the bed, grabbing his large hand and responding, "I’m here, I’m here!"
