Chapter 156

Author: Where is Spring
When the door closed with a heavy thud, Maria finally collapsed on the cold floor. She didn't pass out, but the nausea was overwhelming. She dragged herself to the bathroom, clung to the toilet, and vomited.

At that moment, her body felt worse than ever. She thought she was going to die soon. All night, she drifted in and out of consciousness, her mind finally clear when it was almost dawn.

Maria sat up. Her hair was a mess, and she was covered in blood. Even breathing was a struggle. She looked at the faint light of dawn outside, and felt grateful her symptoms weren't triggered.

Then, she noticed something glistening on the floor as she looked around.

Maria pressed her lips together and forced herself up, weakly staggering over to pick up the ring.

It was the wedding band Richard had thrown on the floor the night before.

What did he say to her?

Oh, right.

He had called her disgusting, said that he regretted ever saving her.

Maria's lips twisted into a bitter, horrifying smile

    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

    Maria raised her eyes and looked straight at her brother."It's no longer about us being exposed. It's about me leaving. Once the competition is done, I'm going to leave this place for good. I'll end my contract with Wyatt."Willow froze for a moment, frowning.Maria went on, "He keeps circling me. When will I ever have a peaceful life? You'll support me on this, right? You also think leaving is better, don't you?"Willow finally understood everything this time. Maria could stay this calm because she was already planning to disappear a second time.He nodded without hesitation, supporting Maria without reservation."Alright. I'll support you, no matter your decision. If you feel there's no need to stay, then I'll be the one to send you away. I refuse to believe Richard will be able to find you again this time."Maria let out a sigh of relief and nodded, her lips forming a soft smile. "Thank you.""There's nothing to thank me for. I can only relax when you're safe and happy. Don

    Willow tightened his grip on Richard's shoulder and warned him, "I'm warning you. Back off from Marina. Don't bring some random person over here to disturb her again."Richard looked at him with a faint smile as he looked at Willow. "I'm not bothering her. My son is here, so I brought Jonathan over for dinner. Is that really worth getting so agitated?"Willow grew even angrier and moved to swing his fist at him, but Maria stepped in front of him. "Mr. Brooks, what are you doing? Stop. The boy is still watching."Willow gritted his teeth, glaring hard at Richard before finally looking away. He gave a cold laugh. "Fine. Just don't let me see that boy here again. If I do, I'll do everything I can to send him back to Sidonia. Got it?"Richard's hand tightened into a fist, but he said nothing."Marina isn't anyone's replacement, and she's not some vessel. If you keep bothering her like this, I won't hold back next time," Willow said, voice low and sharp. Part of him wanted to get r

    Maria stiffened when Jonathan fell right into her arms, and she immediately started looking at Richard. "You see that? Get him off me."Richard gave a helpless smile. "I'm driving. How am I supposed to move him? Jonathan is asleep, so just let him use your lap as a pillow for a while. We'll be at your apartment soon, and then you'll be free."Maria gritted her teeth, forcing herself not to shove Jonathan away. She only turned to look out the window, her eyes cold.In the rearview mirror, Richard took in every flicker of her expression and let out a quiet sigh. He knew Maria wanted absolutely no contact with Jonathan. Watching her stay this determined left a bitter feeling inside of him.Just then, Maria's phone rang.She answered and realized it was Willow who called. She greeted him softly, "Mr. Brooks."On the other end, Willow asked, "Where are you? Why are you still not home this late?"His tone sounded very natural, but he was also obviously testing her. Maria understood

    Maria demanded Richard in a cold voice.Richard didn't dare to say anything more. He only picked up a few pieces of meat and placed them on Jonathan's plate. In a low voice, he said, "If you don't want to talk anymore, then forget it. I was out of line. Just eat. I won't disturb you anymore."Maria ignored him, lowered her head, and hid all her bubbling emotions deep into herself.Seeing Richard was bad enough. Seeing Jonathan made it even harder for her to keep her temper in check.Out of everyone, Jonathan had hurt her the most.Her own child had betrayed her step by step, called another woman mother, and had humiliated her again and again.If she had to say who disgusted her most, other than Richard, it would be Jonathan.Jonathan was her own flesh and blood. She had raised him and poured all her effort into him. His betrayal was the one thing she couldn't accept. Even now, she felt no stir of sympathy for him at all despite knowing he repented in front of a tombstone for s
