Seeing her husband's reaction, Maya didn't get angry as she finally couldn't help but take a deep breath. The girl studied Evan's leg carefully. Her hands once again traced each part of Evan's legs with a serious face. Maya is a scientist who often dissects human body in the past. She could see that Evan's muscles and nerves were indeed being stimulated back to work right now.“It must be very painful,” Maya thought with pity. The girl carefully helped Evan to sit up while leaning on the thick pile of pillows, before she moved to retrieve the bowl of porridge she had hurriedly cooked before.“I'll compress the area where the pain is unbearable. But you also have to eat, Evan. I just made the porridge earlier, your body will feel better after eating it.”Evan's gaze was complex as Maya didn't mention her tacit decision at all and instead took care of Evan without asking much. The girl's hand movements were smooth and careful, as she slowly began to search for Evan's worst pain points.“
“Are you sure you don't want us to accompany you while you take the exam?”Maya, who had been eating breakfast, immediately looked up when Evan asked once again about whether Maya really believed they should just escort the girl and didn't have to wait for her to finish the exam. To answer her husband's question, Maya once again confidently replied with a nod. The exam will last for three sessions, with a time of two hours per session.Making Evan and Kevin wait for her for six hours like that was really useless, according to Maya. The girl didn't want to trouble them at this busy time. Moreover, Evan also still has to attend the rehabilitation session for today. Maya wouldn't let the two of them wait for her at the place where the exam was being held. She's just going for a test, there's nothing special about it.“I can take a taxi to go home when the exams are over, Evan. As for your lunch … I've prepared lunches that you can warm up in the microwave later. I'll be fine. I've been st
Thirty minutes before the exam started, a flashy car finally stopped where the exam was to be held. However, since Evan's car window material was arranged so that outsiders could not see what was going on inside the car, one could only guess which other rich people were taking part in the university entrance exams this year. Occasionally people would steal glances at Evan's car, just to see who would get off from the luxury car.Unfortunately, Maya didn't pay much attention to the commotion, as she was busy talking to Evan and Kevin the whole time. Only when the car stopped, Maya finally realize that they had arrived at their destination.“Ah, I have to go,” Maya announced. Evan also noticed their surroundings and finally nodded. The man still couldn't appear openly in public right now. He could only lower the car window to the limit of his head, before he spoke softly to his wife.“Good luck on the exam, Finola,” Evan said in a soft voice. Evan's appearance had clearly caused a sudden
“Hello, my name is Finola. You are Diana, right? The only child of Uncle Anton.”The girl called Diana looked surprised for a moment at Maya's initiative to talk to her. Of course Diana knew who Finola was without the girl needing to introduce herself. Finola is the wife of her father's nephew, Evan. And Diana did not expect, a girl like that would want to greet her first like this time.Luckily, Diana was not like her two-faced father. The girl continued to give Maya a polite smile, before reaching out her hand to accept Maya's outstretched hand.“Nice to meet you, Finola. Are you alone? You can join us for lunch if you don't mind.”Maya blinked and looked at Diana, as she didn't expect a cunning person like Anton to have such an innocent child like Diana. But Maya quickly smiled again, as she accepted the offer without hesitation.“Thank you. I really don't know anyone because I missed one year after marrying Evan,” she said honestly. Diana's tablemates also quickly shifted to let Ma
“You actually dare to act arrogant after marrying Evan, don't you?! After what you did to us, how come you still have the courage to show your face in public?!”Maya calmly looked towards the source of the angry voice. From a distance, Grace walked briskly to pull her roughly in the public. With Grace's meager strength, Maya could actually have knocked the girl to the floor before she could speak again. But many pairs of eyes were watching them right now. Maya took that as an advantage. The girl pretended to be an 'obedient little sister', as her expression immediately changed to a confused face that looked surprised at Grace's arrival.“Sis Grace? Why are you here?”Grace growled even more furiously when she saw people starting to look at her with disapproving faces because of the commotion she was causing. She wanted to forcefully drag Maya away from that place, but a hand firmly suddenly stopped her movement.Maya's expression suddenly changed to surprise when she saw Diana was will
“Argh!”Maya furrowed her brows as a deafening scream reached her ears. Behind the thick glass wall, Maya could see someone else writhing in pain with their eyes bulging and turning red like blood could seep out of her eyes in the next second. The man in front of her was fighting for his life. His bulging eyes stared at Maya angrily. That person's lips said something. His voice was not heard, but Maya clearly knew what the person was talking just from the movement of his lips.“I curse you all to have an unpleasant death like me.”Maya watched as the man slowly stopped his resistance and fell limp not long after. The atmosphere around the research lab instantly fell silent. Maya heard a disappointed sigh from next to her. The other fellow researchers sighed, then shook their heads in disappointment, as if the person who had just died was none of their business.“This one failed too. How dare that fellow swear after what we've done for him all this time? He should be happy to have lived
“Glad to see you're okay, Uncle,” Maya said calmly. The girl didn't miss the slightest change in the expression on Anton's face, as she watched the grown man narrow his eyes slightly when he saw Maya, who was always full of meaning in her every action. The two people stared at each other as if they were trying to understand each other's intentions. The atmosphere between the two of them was definitely not good. However, Diana who was naive immediately approached Maya with slightly reddened eyes.“Finola … Please forgive me for being a nuisance to you at that time. I also can't come to visit you before finishing my exam. I ….”“It's okay. You were just trying to help me. What happened to me back then was completely out of your control, Diana.”Diana stopped talking when Finola gave her a friendly pat and smiled gently. The girl's eyes filled with tears. This was the first time Diana had seen danger that close. And maybe the first time too, someone saved her without hesitation like Maya.
“Why are you looking at me as if I took what you have all along? I just helped Diana, and we become natural friends before. She recognized me as Evan's wife and took the initiative to ask me to be her friend at our first meeting. Diana is a very nice girl, and I thought we could get to know each other better through Diana. But seeing that you don't seem to like our friendship, you've unknowingly made me sad, Uncle.”Anton secretly clenched his fists when Maya dared to imitate what he said about Evan at their first meeting. The man was still trying to put on a friendly face, as he immediately denied Maya's words in a familiar tone.“How can I not be happy to see you have a good relationship with Diana, Finola? Please, don't get me wrong. I'm just tired lately and may have unknowingly offended you with my expression. You saved Diana from a dangerous situation. I'm deeply grateful for that, Finola.”Maya openly smiled mockingly after she heard Anton's sweet words. After Maya had solid evi
After being reassured by Evan, Maya's mood improved so much that the girl didn't mind responding to people's greetings. Throughout the event, Maya smiled, spreading a positive aura which also affected Evan, who was initially a little annoyed by the gossiping girls. Under Maya's amusement, Evan finally had a more friendly face as they entered the cinema room while holding hands. The two of them sat on the bench that had been prepared. Evan rubbed Maya's hand lightly, as he whispered to the girl in a worried tone.“You can let me know whenever you sense that this movie is starting to make you uncomfortable. Remember, your happiness is my priority right now.”Maya smiled as she returned her husband's whisper. “I see. Thank you, Evan,” she said sincerely. Evan nodded in response to his wife's words. His face was very gentle, as he looked at his wife's face with great affection.After all the guests entered the room, the atmosphere gradually calmed down as the lights finally turned off. Wit
When the time came, Maya went to the premiere with Evan and a driver. Because they had to get ready before Evan's work time over, Kevin was forced to not be able to accompany them to complete the task left by Evan. Seeing Kevin working hard, Maya subconsciously felt sorry for him and started joking that Evan should give Kevin an appreciation for what the man had done for them all this time. But unexpectedly, Evan actually nodded in response to her words. Only when they were in the car, Evan finally open his mouth about the meaning of his nod.“I plan to transfer twenty-five percent of my family's wealth under his name. I really want to give more. But given his personality, he'd be upset if I gave him too much. I haven't talked about transferring this wealth to him. Do you mind if I do, Maya?”With the business and assets that Evan owns, twenty-five percent is enough for Kevin to spend the rest of his life in luxury without needing to work again. Maya satisfactorily shook her head. “He
[Orlando Family's Sole Heir Awakening.]Maya read the news with slightly furrowed brows. It was not the content of the news that annoyed her this time. But the comments, really annoyed Maya when the girl read them one by one.When Evan got sick, everyone judged their love story in a relatively negative way. Some think Maya only married for Evan's wealth. While others, feel sorry that Maya has to marry a dying man like Evan. Only few people who's sincerely wish for their happiness. But when news of Evan's recovery had spread, people seemed to be competing to delete their previous comments and start praising them as the happiest couple on earth. Some even claimed to know her or Evan, and praised their compatibility, even though Maya didn't actually know that people.Now Maya knew why Evan had been so isolated from the outside world all this time. In a time when Evan was at his worst, the man knew that no one was willing to help him except those who were sincere to him. People, who laugh
Once they arrived at the hospital, Diana had finished being examined and was resting in the infirmary with her friends. The incident seemed too shocking for the young girls, so neither of them spoke until Maya entered the room with Evan and Kevin.“Sorry, we came late. How are you guys doing now?”Diana's eyes immediately reddened when she remembered Maya had saved her life again. Maya, aware of Diana's feelings, immediately approached the girl. Maya let Diana hug her tightly, while she herself tried to calm Diana by gently stroking her back.“It's fine. You're safe now ….”Maya whispered softly while her eyes stared at Evan and Kevin, who were invited out by two of Diana's friends. Maya knew the two of them would most likely talk about Diana's examination results or just allow Diana some space to express her feelings. The girl waited until Diana was completely calm, before she let go of their embrace and wiped the tears that rolled down the Diana's cheeks.“Feeling better?” Maya aske
“Then, I hope you will be willing to listen to my advice.”While Maya was running everywhere looking for Diana, Evan and Kevin had just finished talking to the Dean and were being ushered out of the room. They were just about to open the door, when the head of the university security entered in such a hurry that he almost bumped into Evan, who was at the door.“I'm sorry, Sir. But someone just got into a fight in the warehouse!”People's faces turned red with embarrassment when the head of security reported the problem while Evan and Kevin were still in the room. They had just promised to increase security within the university. And now, someone even reported that there had just been a fight on the campus.“What are you saying? If the students start fighting, you can just bring them here without causing any unnecessary fuss!”The Dean scolded before Evan or Kevin grew suspicious of them. When Evan personally came to this university, they thought they could curry favor with Evan a litt
Elsewhere, Diana fell back hard when someone kicked her in the stomach. Her friends, Evelyn and Josephine, can only cry when they are held back by the other man, so they can't help Diana. Ever since Diana came to campus, the girl couldn't count how many insults she had received just for today. However, the treatment he received from this unknown guy, was the worst of all. When Diana arrived at her class, she was suddenly dragged out by these strong people. The beautiful clothes her father had given her were already messed up by the dirt and trash that had previously been dumped on her body. Diana stared at the ground with teary eyes. She knew, this was her punishment for having a father who had ruined many people's lives with his actions.“Oh my gosh, take a look. Mr. Anton's magnificent daughter looks like walking dirt right now.”The other kids laughed as one of them insulted Diana while looking at her mockingly. Slowly, Diana tried to get up again, even though her body was already
“Diana told you she was going back to college? Good then. I'll see you at university later.”“Ah, I'll take care of university matters. Just tell Diana to focus on her studies.”“No, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do as a family. Thanks for letting me know. See you at the campus.”Evan watched as Maya called one of Diana's friends. After yesterday's funeral, Maya finally believed that she would start her studies today. The girl was ready to go to college, when one of Diana's friends called his wife.“Diana finally ready to go to her classes again?” Evan asked curiously.Maya nodded. “Yes. Diana told her friends that she was ready to go back to college today. I think yesterday's meeting really helped her. I plan to meet her at college later. Since yesterday, we haven't heard any news about Aunt Cynthia's condition, have we?”Cynthia is Diana's mother and Anton's wife. Because the woman was completely shaken yesterday, Maya and Evan were forced to go home before Cynthia could wake
“Well, you're handsome now.”Evan stealthily stole a kiss on his wife's cheek when Maya finished helping him get ready. “You're also gorgeous, Maya,” he whispered softly when he saw Maya, who was wearing a matching black outfit. They will attend Anton's funeral this afternoon. Evan did it for his aunt and Diana, as well as for his official appearance with a healed body.Besides Anton, as a businessman, Evan also has many enemies who take advantage of his illness to steal some of his company's projects. Evan will appear to give them a warning. That his family has not been destroyed. And he, didn't die the way the people wanted him to.“Are you sure you want to come with me this time? Since you were accepted into university, you haven't come to attend your first class yet. And now … You have to postpone your studies again to accompany me.”Maya laughed when she heard her husband's concern. “Let's see if they have the courage to speak up after deliberately sneaking a kidnapper in the so-
Maya watched as Evan seemed quieter these days. The man did try to act normal. But Maya knew, that sometimes his mind was elsewhere. Maya is afraid that Anton's death will have a bigger impact than she thought. Maya slightly frowned, when her eyes saw her husband was preparing to clean himself with a warm bath.When Evan entered the bathroom, Maya casually stood up and took off her clothes. With calm steps, Maya entered the bathroom. Her act has causing Evan, who was originally soaking in the bath tub, to jump up from his surprise.“You-”Evan's face turned redder as Maya calmly entered the same bath tub that Evan was using. Because Evan's bath tub is huge, Maya has no trouble finding a comfortable position on the same bath tub. The woman smiled, when she saw her husband's face turning even redder.“You've been looking troubled since Sergeant Kris came this morning. I'm fine now, so … I should be able to cheer you up, shouldn't I?”Evan, who usually wasn't concerned about such temptat
