Chapter 1994 It Is Not That Simple
âCanât you just tell us the entire story in the beginning? We thought that Wilbur is deââ
Mabel stopped herself as she glanced at the others. She cleared her throat and continued, âIâm glad heâs been saved! Thatâs great news!â
However, she was cursing in her heart. Which idiot went to save him? Ahh! Dear God, why donât you let him die? No one will fight for the inheritance with Nic if heâs dead, and I wonât need to worry about him avenging his mother. Heâs better off dead!
âWhich hospital is he in? We should get there as soon as possible,â Nicholas suggested.
âY-Yes! Nic is right! We should rush there now!â
As soon as Rodney told them the hospitalâs name, Maya was the first to dash out. She wanted to see Wilbur and find out how he was as quickly as possible.
Janice planned to go with them, but she was stopped by Davinâs assistant. Davin merely gave his assistant a glance, and the latter seized her. âLetâs go. Youâre going to the police station with me.â
âP-Police station?â
âOf course! Donât you think you need to pay the price for everything youâve done?â
âB-But Wilburâ¦â
âYou donât have to worry about Mr. Simpson. Ms. Maya will take good care of him. Now, move!â
Janice froze for a moment, then she quickly turned and wanted to run away. However, Davinâs assistant caught up with her easily.
âHow dare you try to escape! Mr. Davin will punish me if I let you flee under my watch. Youâd better be good and go to the police station with me, or else Iâll make you pay for it. Iâm not a gentleman.â
Janice struggled for a while, but she was dragged away eventually.
It serves you right! You should spend the rest of your life in prison! Mabel thought when she saw Janice being dragged away.
Mayaâs heart was pounding the entire time as she rushed to the hospital. How is Wilbur now? Dear God, please make sure heâs okay. Please donât let him die!
Nina noticed how worried Maya was, and she held her sisterâs hands tightly. âDonât worry. Heâs a good person. Heâll be okay.â
âThatâs right, Maya. Wilbur will be fine,â Nicole comforted.
âDid he really jump into the sea because of me? If something happens to him, Iâd be the cause of it, right?â Maya looked at Nina and Nicole with a paled expression.
âMaya⦠Donât think that way. Mommy said so too, right? Heâs going to be okay.â
After a few seconds, Nina continued, âActually, I feel that somethingâs off. Do you really think a man like Wilbur would jump off the sea because of Maya? Even if he loves her that much, would he really do thatââ
âNina, what are you trying to say?â Maya asked.
âIâm saying that when we found out you fell into the sea, the first thing we did was to see for ourselves as to whether it was really you. Itâs normal for him to be at the beach, but would he really jump into the waters even before seeing your body or any other evidence to prove your death? Donât you think itâs too hasty?â
âNina, youâre saying that he should at least confirm my death before he decided to die? But I donât want him to die even after Iâm dead! I want him to be alive and live his life well!â Maya replied while pouting.
âCalm down, Maya. Thatâs not what I meant. What Iâm trying to say is that Wilburâs incident may not be so simple.â
Maya and Nicole furrowed their brows after hearing Ninaâs analysis. âNina, itâs better that you donât jump to conclusions before thereâs any evidence. Once we see him, weâll know what happened,â Nicole said.
âI understand, Mommy.â
Meanwhile, Mabel glanced at Rodney, who was sitting next to her. Then, she glanced at Nicholas, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
She wanted to say something to Nicholas, but she couldnât because Rodney was there. Therefore, she held it in until they arrived at the hospital. As the rest of them rushed to the ward, she tugged on Nicholasâ sleeve. With that, the latter slowed down his footsteps, and the two of them finally had some distance from the others.
