Chapter 1959 Clean Up The Mess

“Not at all. You lie down first. I’ll make you a glass of milk.” “Okay.”

A few minutes later, Maya came back with a glass of milk. After taking a few sips, Janice spat out the milk and dirtied the floor. Some of the milk even splashed onto Maya’s clothes.

“Oh gosh, I’m sorry! My stomach is churning right now. I don’t think I can drink this.”

After taking a look at her clothes and the milk on the floor, Maya took over the glass and placed it on the table. “Don’t worry. You can drink the milk when you feel better. For now, you should lie down and take a good rest.”

“All right.” Maya covered Janice well with a blanket and retrieved several pieces of napkin. She then wiped off the milk stain on her clothes. “Could you please clean up the mess on the floor too, Maya?”

Clean up the mess on the floor?

“The janitors will do the cleaning for us later,” Maya said.

“But the janitors are not here now, are they? It’s just some simple cleaning, and I’m sure you can do it, right? Janice’s stomach is not feeling well, and she might find the smell of the milk disgusting,” Mabel added.

Maya did not know how to react to Mabel’s request. If she’s really worried about Janice feeling sick about the smell, why can’t she clean the floor herself or ask the janitor to come and clean the mess?

I thought we were supposed to take care of Janice together? Why am I doing this alone? Moreover, Janice is her daughter-in-law. She should at least do her part, shouldn’t she?

“I need to go back to change my pants. Could you please take care of Janice in the meantime?”

Mabel glanced at her pants and said, “Why do you need to change? We’re taking care of a patient at a hospital, so we’re bound to get dirty from time to time. You look fine to me, anyway.”

What? Maya had never worn dirty clothes before, and it made her uncomfortable.

When Maya was about to defend herself, Janice suddenly said, “It’s all my fault, Maya. I’ll be more careful and not dirty your clothes again. If you insist on leaving, could you please give Nicholas a call? You can go home once he comes over.”

Do I really have to trouble Nicholas to come all the way here since I’m only going back for a short while to change into a new pair of clothes?

Besides, Rodney called Wilbur and Nicholas back to the office earlier to look into a project. If I were to call Nicholas to come, he might blame me for not having any conscience and refusing to take care of Janice. This might further cause unnecessary problems.

Maya went deep in thought and decided to give in. All right then. I’ll go home and change tomorrow.

“Let’s not trouble Nicholas. I’ll change tomorrow when I get home.” “Thanks, Maya.”

Janice was pleased to see how disheveled Maya looked. I’ll be even more thrilled if I get to see her suffer more!

There were only two beds in the ward. Janice had taken one of the beds, whereas Mabel occupied the second one. Thus, Maya had no choice but to rest on a reclining chair.

Whenever she was about to fall asleep, Janice would call out to her. “Maya, could you help me to the washroom?”

“Maya, I would like to drink some water.” “I’m a little hungry, Maya. I feel like eating something that you’ve bought for me.”

“I’m feeling a little uncomfortable. Could you please massage my calf?”

Maya was utterly exhausted as Janice had called her more than ten times throughout the night. Even Janice was so tired that she fell asleep at dawn.

When Mabel woke up in the morning, Maya looked at her and said, “She’s asleep now. I’ll go home and change.” Mabel studied Maya from head to toe and noticed she was wet. “Why are you all wet?”
