Chapter 135: Chapter 139

.

Chapter 139 In a short while, the discharge procedures were completed, and Charlie went to get the car. After Maeve changed clothes and left the ward, she glanced at Sergio’s room next door but ultimately left with Lyra.

Outside the hospital, Maeve happened to see Larry’s car. She could vaguely see Clara through the rear window.

In the evening, Sergio groggily woke up in his hospital bed. He could see someone bustling around beside him.

“Maeve...” Sergio called out. The figure paused, then turned around, revealing Clara’s smiling face.

“Sergio, you’re finally awake.” Clara placed a thermos of hot water nearby and said, “I came to see you right after class. Are you feeling okay? I’ll call the doctor.”

Seeing Clara, a disappointed expression briefly flashed across Sergio’s face. His voice was somewhat hoarse as he asked, “Where’s Maeve?”

Clara’s smile stiffened for a moment but quickly softened again.

“Maeve? Maeve has already been discharged.”

Upon hearing this news, Sergio pursed his lips. Why was she in such a hurry to leave?

“Where’s Larry?”

Seeing that Sergio’s mind was preoccupied with Maeve, Clara bit her lip and said, “Sergio, you’re so badly injured, but Maeve never came to see you. You shouldn’t be thinking about her.”

Sergio’s heart seemed to ache as he asked in a low voice, “She never came to see me?”

Clara shook her head and replied, “Np, she didn’t. She left with Zion in the afternoon. These two.....”

She paused mid–sentence.

Sergio wasn’t a fool. Even though he wasn’t completely clear–headed, he understood what Clara was trying to imply. Maeve and Zion had an ambiguous relationship.

Larry entered the room and frowned.

“Ms. Stewart, visiting hours are over. You should back.”

Clara wanted to say something more, but Sergio interrupted, “Go back. It’s late,”

“Okay” Disappointment filled Clara’s eyes After Clara left, Sergio picked up the phone beside him. Maeve had yet to send him a single message: While Clara visited him, Maeve left without a word.

The next moment, Sergio called home “Allie, has Maeve returned?”

“Mrs. Brooks? She hasn’t returned.”

Sergio’s expression turned cloudy with anger. In other words, Maeve was still with Zion.

Sergio tightened his grip on the phone. The thought of Maeve and Zion alone at this moment was unbearable to him.

Soon, Sergio hung up the phone and got up from the bed. The nurse who came was startled to see Sergio in a change of clothes.

“Sir, you can’t get out of bed right now!”

“Move aside!” Sergio buttoned up his shirt and strode out of the ward.

Larry saw Sergio coming out and immediately approached him.

“Mr. Brooks, The doctor said you still need rest. You can’t leave the hospital!”

“Give me the car keys!

Larry hesitated but dared not disobey Sergio. He reluctantly took out the keys.
