Chapter 36

Author: Where is Spring
Richard only knew that if Maria and Jonathan kept butting heads, their mother-son relationship would just keep getting worse, especially when the boy was as stubborn as a mule.

Maria brushed his hand away again, her tone cold as ice. "I'm not going back. I did nothing wrong by hitting him."

She lifted her pale face. "I told you, if you're not satisfied, you can go ahead and find him a new mom and find yourself a new wife!"

Maria turned and walked out.

Richard finally lost patience. He snatched the decorative tree out of her arms and threw it straight in the trash.

Maria was too late to stop him; the tree landed hard in the garbage, buried under syringes and pill boxes. Her face went white as she looked up at Richard.

Richard's expression was dark. "You're not yourself lately. From now on, you are not allowed to come to this hospital. You're not allowed to see that doctor again. You're coming home with me!"

He grabbed Maria, dragging her away. Maria barely struggled before Richar

    "Will." Maria suddenly pulled herself out of Willow's arms, as if she had made a huge decision at that moment. She took a deep breath and looked at Willow with an indescribable expression."I don't want to see Richard again. But if I can't avoid him, and if he won't just disappear from this world, then I'll simply make the old Richard disappear completely. From now on, no one will talk about our past. He was the one who lived it, but he doesn't remember it. That's good. I won't have to listen to his confessions and apologies repeatedly."Every time she heard Richard apologize, the same sentence flashed through her mind.Why didn't he do anything earlier?Didn't he find it laughable to say these things now?But with the way Richard was now, with the past wiped clean and his personality becoming arrogant and full of confidence, believing his wife had already died… Maria was actually fine with it.At the very least, she no longer had to stand in front of him and relive the painf

    "I hate you..."Maria froze. It was the first time she had ever heard herself talking in her sleep. Her voice in the recording was full of hatred, helplessness, and pain.Just those lines were enough to drag her straight back into that stretch of agony in her past. The state of mind she had been in back then crashed over her again, and she felt every bit of it all over.She closed her eyes as her whole body trembled slightly, unable to calm down at all."What, nothing to say now?" Richard still didn't notice that something was wrong with Maria. He looked at her with a half-smile, his eyes full of curiosity.Maria closed her eyes again and forced herself to calm her emotions. She told herself that the Richard standing in front of her had completely forgotten everything that had happened before, that she should separate the two versions of him.Yet, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do it.She couldn't stand in front of the same face and pretend she didn't see the ove

    Richard's head turned to the side from the impact of Maria's slap, and his face became dark.He gritted his teeth and wrapped his hand around Maria's neck. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. "Being a little too bold, aren't we? Slapping me like that… Aren't you afraid I'll just throw you into the river and feed you to the fish?""You still have the nerve to threaten me?!" Maria shot back. "Who told you that you can kiss me without my permission? I already told you, I have a boyfriend! Do you have comprehension problems?" She shoved his hand away, then stood and stared at him coldly."If you cross me like this again, next time won't be just a slap." With that, she walked past Richard and headed for the door.Richard spoke lazily behind her, "No matter who your boyfriend is, you'll still end up staying by my side. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."Maria took a deep breath and turned back to face him. "What exactly do you want, Richard? Your wife died, and y

    Maria took a deep breath and told herself she could hold on. She forced herself to focus and used her phone to kill time.The ward was very quiet.Jonathan had already fallen sound asleep. Maria sat alone, staring out the window. From time to time, she lowered her head to scroll through headlines of gossip on her phone, becoming sleepier.By the time it was close to two in the morning and time to change his bandage again, she was yawning nonstop and could barely keep herself upright.She struggled to stay awake and finished changing Jonathan's bandage. She set an alarm for four in the morning, then fell asleep right there.Not long after, the door into the ward was slowly pushed open.Maria didn't feel anything and was still fast asleep.A pair of strong arms slid around her and lifted her gently from the chair.-The next day… Maria woke to the sound of a nurse talking.Before she even opened her eyes, she heard the nurse's alarmed voice. "Huh? Why is a family member here?

    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
