Chapter 136: Chapter 140

.

Chapter 140 Sergio took the keys and left the hospital His face was dark with displeasure. Larry followed closely behind, but Sergio got into the car and quickly drove away without him.

“Mr. Brooks!” Larry shouted from behind the car, but Sergio showed no intention of stopping. Before long, he disappeared.

Maeve was resting on the bed in her apartment. Charlie was busy in the kitchen while Lyra was helping out nearby. Zion sat on the sofa not far away, reading a newspaper.

The scene was quite heartwarming, and Maeve couldn’t help but feel a longing for this warmth. In her past life, her parents passed away young, and even though she lived with the Philip family, everyone had their selfish intentions. She hadn’t felt this kind of comfort for a long time.

Sergio’s car arrived outside Maeve’s apartment, and he called her phone. However, she didn’t answer.

His hands tightened around the phone. He got out of the car and walked to the security room.

“Sir, may I ask who you’re looking for?” the security guard asked “I’m looking for Maeve.”

“Are you a friend of hers?”

“I’m her husband!” Sergio forced out in frustration.

The security guard looked bewildered. He had just seen Maeve and three other friends go upstairs, but he had never seen this man.

“I’m sorry, would you like me to ask her to come down and meet you? Or would you like to call her so I can let you in?”

Sergio’s gaze narrowed dangerously. He took out a business card from his pocket, clearly stating, “Sergio Brooks, CEO of Brooks Group.”

The security guard looked shocked when he saw those words.

Sergio ordered coldly, “Call her, now.”

yes...”

Π The security guard dialed the landline connected to the apartment.

Meanwhile, Maeve was half asleep in bed while Lyra and Charlie were busy in the room. Suddenly, the landline rang, and Zion glanced at it.

Lyra shouted from the kitchen, “Zee, answer the phone quickly. Don’t wake Mavy.”

Zion hesitated for a moment but eventually picked up the phone. “Hello? Who is this?”

Sergio’s face turned dark, and his lips paled when he heard Zion’s calm voice.

The security guard beside him felt a chill on his back. This was so exciting. He was watching someone get caught cheating in the act.

“Where’s Marve?”

Zion could recognize Sergio’s voice. He glanced at Maeve sleeping on the bed and smirked.

“She’s sleeping ”

Blood rushed through Sergio’s head. “Let her answer the phone!”

“I think Mavy wouldn’t want to hear your voice,” Zion replied calmly, with a hint of amusement in his tone.

“Zion, Maeve is my wife! Our affairs are none of your concem!” Sergio gritted his teeth to contain his anger.

Zion put down the newspaper and played with the lighter beside him.

“It’s just a business marriage. She’s the one I like. I’ll handle her affairs through and through.”
