Baz swiftly pulled Tess out of the ward. However, Tess continued to protest loudly, hoping that Maia could regain her memory.Soon, there was a loud "bang," signaling the closure of the ward door. Once closed, the room returned to its previous quiet state. He was the first to break the silence."You played it well," his confident words echoed in her ears. He still held her with one hand, showing no intention of letting go.Maia's body tensed slightly, but she raised her eyes to look at him, puzzled. "What are you talking about? I don't understand…"He chuckled, lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and spoke with a fond tone, "It's okay if you don't understand. Just know that no matter when you do, I'll cooperate. That's enough."Maia didn't say anything, just blinked her clear eyes at him. She remained in his embrace without any other moves.But what she never expected was that he seemed to see through her thoughts. She didn't know which part went wrong. Did he believe she was

"Never, that’s never happening again."His firm tone echoed, and when he reached out to pull her into his arms again, she avoided it.Maia's body tensed slightly. She didn't speak, just shifted her body to the side, keeping a certain distance from him."Perhaps what you said is true, but I won't believe it anymore."His expression changed. His deep eyes reddened for a moment, but in just that fleeting instant, he returned to his expressionless demeanor, as if nothing had happened.Right at this moment, there was a knock on the door.Maia immediately sat up alertly."Mr. Cedric, Buck and Miss Hope are here," came Baz's voice from outside the door.Then, the door was opened. Hope rushed into the room.Seeing Maia sitting on the bed, she called out, "Sis, how are you? Why is the back of your head wrapped in bandages? Is it serious? Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere? I heard from Mr. Baz that you've lost your memory? Do you remember me?""Hope." Maia's tone was calm, but h

"Yeah, Maia, let's go home together," Tess quickly added. Today was also her discharge day.Then, Tess swiftly stepped forward, extending her hand to hold Maia's, "Maia, come home with us. It doesn't matter if you don't remember the past. Errol and I will take good care of you. With us, your family, no one will dare to bully you."Tess's words were like a veiled message for Cedric. Maia took note of every word. Was she truly so afraid of this man? Maia took the initiative to hold Cedric's hand, "I'll go back with him."Maia's statement left Tess momentarily stunned, "Maia, d-do you know what you're saying?""Aunt, I know exactly what I'm saying." Maia nodded, giving a confident reply. Furious, Tess exclaimed, "Maia, be more sensible! You can't go back with him!""Why not?""I’ve told you before that he has hurt you. You're divorced, and you promised to keep your distance from him! This man will harm you. I won't let you go back with him. Come, let's go, get in Errol's car. He cam

Cedric smiled at Maia’s mischief. He pinched her nose softly and said lovingly, “You’re so adorable.”Did he really just call her adorable after she treated him that way?Oswald was carrying the pot of tomato soup to the living room when Baz suddenly ran into him. The pot fell, causing a loud crash, and the entirety of its contents spilled on the floor!“Baz!” Oswald was furious, “Watch where you’re going! Why are you in such a hurry? Look what you’ve done. All that soup has gone to waste!”“I’m sorry, Oswald!” Baz said, pathetically. “I have something urgent to tell Mr. Cedric. I was in such a hurry I didn’t see you. Are you hurt?”“I’m fine. It’s such a shame about the soup, though! Sigh… Ms. Maia even said she’ll feed Mr. Cedric! You should learn to read the room. You’ve gone and ruined this romantic moment!”Baz was a little embarrassed, but he did not have a choice. Did Oswald think he would dare to topple the entire pot of tomato soup if his master had not given him the ord

“Do you want it?”“Do you think I’m good enough for it?” Maia smiled sweetly. “Your beloved mother prepared the chicken soup. A mouthful of it would take years off your face.“Is this her secret for staying young forever? I think I should introduce a health and wellness television show. She’ll be our VIP.”Maia would never forget the time she missed their curfew by five minutes because she needed to secure a deal with Lonnie. It was five past ten when Rita pressed her head against the clock and questioned her if she sold herself out due to loneliness. Zera was right there, but she did not lift a finger to help. Instead, she laughed and made things worse. Maia would never forget that moment. She had nothing more to say. She was going to head upstairs. Suddenly, Cedric said firmly, “HL Corporation will sponsor this show of yours.”Maia paused before pressing the elevator button and stepping into it. She kept her head down and did not look at him as the elevator went up.She wa
