Chapter 153

Author: Where is Spring
Willow helped Maria pack her things and led her out. But on their way out, they had to pass by Richard's hospital room downstairs.

"Are you really not going to take one last look?" Willow asked somewhat hesitantly.

He didn't really want Maria to see Richard again, but he also didn't want her to leave with any regrets.

Maria smiled, her hands pale. "I don't want to see him. Never again. Let's go."

Willow let out a gentle sigh and offered her his arm. Maria linked arms with him, and the siblings walked away together. Neither of them noticed someone behind them, quietly snapping a photo of their backs with a phone.

Eleanor looked at the photo of the two figures and smiled.

Now, she knew exactly who that powerful man was.

He was Willow Brooks, Maria's older brother.

No wonder he had been so protective of Maria. It must have been Willow who had helped Zack get his job back. Still, Eleanor couldn't understand how a powerless jewelry dealer could have the connections to bring Zack b

    Richard picked up the call, and a tense voice came from the other side of the line."Hello. Is this Mr. Shaw? Your son's condition has worsened. You must come immediately to sign the surgical consent forms. He needs emergency surgery!"Maria's hand paused. She finally reacted and looked up at Richard.Richard didn't expect this, either. He steadied himself and said in a low voice, "Alright. I'll come over right away."He stood up, nodded to them, and said, "Something happened at the hospital. I need to get going."Maria acted as if she had heard nothing.Hector nodded and watched Richard leave, then turned and saw Maria staring blankly. He walked over quickly, saying, "You really aren't worried about your son at all? I think you aren't as calm as you look. If you want to know how Jonathan is doing, I can go and check for you."Maria raised her head, her face a mask of coldness as she glared at Hector. "Stop assuming you know what I'm thinking. With Richard there, what could po

    Richard gave Trent a faint glance. "I had a feeling she wouldn't let him in. I just didn't expect her to be this resolute."Richard was beyond unnerved.What truly unnerved him was Maria's absolute, ruthless calm. Whether it was him or Jonathan, neither of them stirred the slightest ripple in her heart anymore.That was what he couldn't accept.He didn't fully understand how disappointed she had been in those dark days, but he understood that no matter what happened to him or the child now, Maria wasn't going to look back.There was no path to win her over again, and that terrified him more than anything.Seeing how rigid Richard's whole body had become, Trent slid his hands into his pockets and let out a helpless sigh."I think what you should be worrying about now is not that, but what happens when Jonathan wakes up and realizes Maria still doesn't want him. He's going to be very upset."Tren looked through the glass into the ward and saw that Jonathan was frowning even in hi

    Maria blurted out to the doctor, "I'm the boy's parent."As soon as those words left her mouth, both she and Hector froze. Maria hurried to correct herself. "No. I mean… I'm not.""Are you or are you not?" The doctor looked at her carefully, suspicion in his eyes.Maria shook her head. "I'm not. I found him near my home. It looks like his father left him there."The doctor paused.Seeing that something was off with Maria's expression, Hector stepped in at once. "The kid has a watch on his wrist, and you can use that to call his father. I've already paid the medical bills. Since this has nothing more to do with us, we're leaving."Hector immediately pulled Maria away.Only when they stepped outside the hospital did both of them finally let out a sigh.Hector glanced at Maria's distant expression, hesitating for a moment. "You're really okay with just leaving him here?"Maria looked at him with a cold tone. "Why won't I be okay? He has doctors looking after him, and we paid fo

    Did Jonathan fall unconscious from hypothermia?Maria's hands turned into fists. After a long struggle, she finally decided to go over and look.She wouldn't be able to really turn a blind eye even when a stray cat or dog was at risk of freezing. Similarly, she wouldn't be able to ignore it happening to a living child.Maria went in and picked up the sofa blanket. She walked out and used the light from her phone to check on him. She saw that Jonathan's face was already ghostly white from the cold, his lips completely bloodless. She threw the blanket straight over him."If you aren't afraid of dying, then wrap yourself in that blanket and hurry back home. Stop being an eyesore out here. You're pulling this stunt to force me to take you in… You have quite the imagination!" Maria mumbled under her breath.Meanwhile, Jonathan slowly lifted his head at the sound of her voice. Before he could look at her, Maria turned and started walking back to her house. Suddenly, a small hand gra

    The night was getting darker.Maria lay in bed with the heater turned off, and a chill crept into the room. She pulled the blanket up and wrapped it tighter around herself. Then, she turned to look at the cold, silvery moon outside the window. She noticed branches faintly swaying by her window.She got out of bed, put on some clothes, and went to the window. Only then did she realize that the wind had picked up outside, making the branches sway back and forth.She wondered if Jonathan had really stayed outside.Maria frowned and picked up the flashlight from the table. She went out and saw that there was no one at the door.She turned around, but out of the corner of her eye she spotted a small, dark figure curled up beneath the big tree.It was Jonathan.He didn't leave. He was huddling around himself under the tree outside her door, shivering, looking like a stray no one wanted.Maria felt sick to the stomach.She couldn't understand. She couldn't understand how Richard

    Maria's voice when she was talking about Jonathan was thick with disgust.Willow gave her a small nod, then looked at Maria in the eyes with an aching heart. "Since you're not going to budge, then leave that kid outside. He's betting that you'll feel sorry for him. Don't let him in."Maria nodded. "I know, Will. Speaking of which, you should go. It won't be easy for you to explain why you're here so late. Ask Hector to come over."Willow glanced toward the door, forcing down his irritation, and nodded. "Alright, I understand. I'll call him here right now. Don't get worried and don't get angry. This can be handled easily. Just ignore the kid."Maria gave an uncaring little smile and said calmly, "There's nothing for me to worry about. Just have Hector come over. Relax, Will. I loathe that boy even more than you do. I won't relent."Only then did Willow truly relax. He sighed and left.Once he was gone, Maria went upstairs to take care of her own things.It wasn't long before he
