Chapter 34

Author: Where is Spring
Mr. Graham hurried after Jonathan, glancing back at Maria. The way he looked at her was like he was meeting her for the first time.

Maria just shook out her hand, ignoring the strange stares from the house staff before heading back upstairs for a shower. By the time she finished and was ready for bed, half an hour had passed.

Her phone showed two missed calls and a few messages. The calls were from Richard and Catelyn.

Maria ignored them. She could guess easily enough that Jonathan had run to them to complain. She didn't even bother reading Richard's messages. Instead, she simply deleted the whole chat.

Two unread texts were from Zack, reminding her to come for a checkup the next day to see if the new medication had changed anything in her body.

Maria looked up at the calendar on the wall.

After tonight, there would only be four days left.

Slapping Jonathan today had really helped her let off some steam. With luck, he wouldn't bother her for the rest of these four days. She slow

    Jonathan wasn't sure what to do when he saw Richard acting completely unlike himself. "Dad, can you talk a little more calmly? You're so different from how you used to be."Richard gave a dismissive snort. "Stop going on about who I used to be. This is how I am right now. I won't allow anyone else to have the woman I have my eye on. Just wait."With that, he got up and left.After ten that night, Maria rushed back to the hospital to check on Jonathan. As soon as she walked in, she noticed that one of the beds was gone.Maria had noticed that Jonathan's room had two beds when she came earlier. Why was one suddenly missing now?"Jonathan, where did the bed next to you go?" Maria asked."Another patient needed it, so the nurses moved it away," Jonathan answered."Is that so..." Maria looked thoughtful, then nodded after a moment.It was a common occurrence in hospitals. She simply wasn't expecting it to happen in this room so coincidentally. She looked at Jonathan and spread her h

    Richard was stopped for a second. Despite being somewhat distracted, he pulled out his wallet to pay. By the time he walked out, the car was already far down the road.He couldn't catch up, so he stopped where he was and let out a soft scoff."So, you think you can steal my woman like this. Keep dreaming," Richard mumbled to himself and took out his phone and made a call.Back in the car, Maria looked back at the restaurant behind them. She could barely see anyone now, only that bright neon sign still stood out in the distance. She sighed slowly and calmed herself before turning to the person beside her."I don't really know what he's doing. He clearly has zero interest in me, so why does he keep bothering me?"Cameron gave her a meaningful look and said, "Then you should ask him why he's clearly into you but still pretends he doesn't care and doesn't like you at all."Maria was quiet for a moment, then raised her brow in surprise. "Are you serious? He has a dead wife in his mi

    Maria and Cameron arrived at a restaurant and sat down to eat.In less than five minutes, another car stopped outside.Richard walked in, holding a huge bouquet of bright, fresh roses. He looked around. The moment he entered, his handsome face and tall figure drew a lot of attention.Maria was sitting with her back to him and didn't notice Richard was looking in her direction. She studied the menu and casually ordered a few items that caught her eye before handing it to Cameron. "See if there's anything you want. The food here is pretty good."As soon as she finished saying that, a bouquet appeared in front of her.Maria was stunned; she looked up, then met Richard's eyes. She couldn't help but take a deep breath at the sight of him, not expecting to see him here.She just saw Richard at the hospital. But now, he was here with flowers in hand, and he had somehow changed from his hospital gown into a suit. Maria even wondered if there was another Richard in this world or som

    But for reasons unknown to Richard, the sight of Maria standing beside another man filled him with an indescribable irritation.He frowned, unsure what to do with the feeling. It was at this time that Cameron cleared his throat. "He's blind enough not to want to be with you, but I'm not. Come on, let us go on a date."Cameron took Maria by the hand and walked away without looking back.Richard's expression turned stormy immediately. He stared at the two leaving, lost in thought for a long time.Jonathan sat on the bed, watching him. One look at his father's face and he knew Richard still cared about Maria. He still liked her on some instinctive level.He then said softly, "Dad, I want to tell you something.""What is it?" Richard asked with a frown.Jonathan looked at Richard with a very serious expression, as if he were an adult. "If you like her, go after her. If you care, say it out loud. Don't hesitate and don't act tough. Don't do what you did before this, and never exp

    Cameron stood outside the ward, looking at Richard with surprise. "Your brain is finally working again?"Richard narrowed his eyes, instantly sensing Cameron as a threat. He didn't hesitate and shot back at him. "Your brain is the one that's not working!"Cameron was speechless.When Maria saw him, it was like seeing a lifeline. She hurried over, took his hand, then turned back to Richard. "Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Cameron. I only approached Jonathan because no one was taking care of him and I wanted to help. I don't like you, and I'm not playing hard to get. Understand?"The moment he heard that, Richard's face darkened. He stared at Maria with a cold, mocking look. "You found a boyfriend that quickly? I don't buy it. You go out once, and suddenly you have a boyfriend, when you never mentioned him before. You're just trying to get my attention and make me jealous, aren't you?"Maria was speechless.In Richard's perspective, whatever she did would always tu

    Richard narrowed his eyes at Jonathan and didn't say a word.After a moment of silence, he snorted icily and said, "Fine. I don't want to waste my breath on this right now. Just remember, you're not allowed to call her Mom so casually. She's not your mother. You're the one with the messed-up memory! I think your injury went straight to your head!"Jonathan was a little helpless. "Dad, are you talking about yourself?"As soon as he finished, he saw Maria standing at the door and quickly waved at her."Mom, you're back."Maria nodded and walked over. Then, she opened the lunchbox before him.Richard glanced over. The meal was clearly a child-sized portion.He frowned. "Where's mine?"Hearing how confident he sounded, Maria frowned. "Didn't your nurse get you anything to eat? I have no obligation to bring you food."Richard looked annoyed. "What's with you? What's with the attitude?"Maria lifted her eyebrow at Richard. "I should be the one asking that. What exactly do you want
