Chapter 1977 Eight Treasures
After her meal, she drove to the hospital to visit Janice. The latter was in a daze as she sat in her bed. Memories of the previous night flashed across her mind. Her feet were still red and swollen, and she had been tormented by the pain all night.
Maya, I tormented you and made you lose sleep previously. Weâre even now after what you did to me. Itâs also about time that you end things with Wilbur. âWhatâs wrong with your feet, Janice?â
Janice furrowed her brows when Maya asked with a surprised look on her face. You were the one who did this to me. Why are you pretending like you donât know what happened?
âItâs an allergic reaction. They became like this after I used the foot-soaking salts you bought.â Mayaâs eyes widened at that. Could this be Ninaâs doing?
âDonât tell me you forgot what happened after sleeping, Maya.â âNo. I remember some parts of it.â
Maya sighed internally. She remembered what happened when she was with her. However, she had no idea what happened in the few hours her sister was with Janice.
âDid you put any ointment or medicine on them? Should I get a doctor to take a look?â
At that, Janice felt that she was acting completely different from last night. She had returned to the tolerant and obedient Maya.
What the hell is she up to?
Seeing that she wasnât replying, Maya said, âStay here. Iâll go get a doctor.â
âMaya!â Janice called the moment she turned around.
âWhat is it?â
âT-The doctor already took a look at it. Itâs no big deal. I havenât eaten anything yet, and I feel like eating the signature dishes from Eight Treasures. Could you go get them for me?â
âEight Treasures?â
âYes.â
Maya thought of the distance between Eight Treasures and the hospital. It would take at least half an hour to get there by car, and it would take a longer time if there were a traffic jam.
Why would Janice want to eat the signature dishes from Eight Treasures?
Upon seeing that Maya was hesitating to do so, Janice said sulkily, âPlease buy them for me, Maya. You can just head to work after buying the food for me. You donât have to take care of me ever again after this. Okay?â
Mayaâs eyes lit up after she heard that.
Iâm more than willing to do it if this is the last request she has for me.
âAll right. Iâll go get you the food.â
As she left, Janice pulled out her phone and sent two messages.
Right then, Mabel returned after having her breakfast. When she saw that Maya wasnât around, she asked, âIs Maya not here yet?â
âShe was here earlier, but she left after saying that she has to go for a shoot.â
âA shoot?â The older woman scrutinized her. Janice actually let her leave after she said that she needed to go for a shoot? When did she start treating Maya so well?
However, Mabel didnât pursue the matter any further, even though she was puzzled. She then changed the topic and asked, âWhen are you getting discharged?â
âNow. Go get the doctor and take care of the discharge procedure.â
Mabel wasnât expecting that. She had been tossing and turning all night. I thought sheâd be coming up with ways to get back at Maya. Is she giving up so easily?
Looking down at Janiceâs feet, she thought that maybe she had given up after learning things the hard way due to her allergy.
Although she was confused, Mabel went to settle the discharge procedures at the urging of the younger woman.
As they left the hospital, the latter secretly counted down the time. By now, Maya would beâ¦
You brought this on yourself, Maya.
This is all because you fell for Wilbur.
It serves you right!
A waiter greeted Maya the moment she stepped into Eight Treasures.
âHow can I help you, miss?â
âIâd like to take away each of your signature dishes, please.â
âAll right. Please have a seat. It wonât take long.â
Just as Maya found an empty seat, a man in a black suit appeared before her. âExcuse me. Are you Ms. Maya, the daughter of Mr. Seet?â
