“Ugh.”Kevin groaned softly as he woke up, and an immediate pain hit his entire body. The man tried to stretch his aching body. Ever since Maya stayed with them and helped them get a quality sleep with her cooking, it felt like this was the first time he had woken up in such a bad state. His conversation with Evan kept Kevin up all night. Kevin pondered until he forgot his dinner. “No wonder,” Kevin thought. He wakes up in an unpleasant state in the morning.When Kevin woke up, the sun seemed to have almost reached the top of the sky. The man walked out of the room with unsteady steps, then met Maya, who was squatting in the television room while watching a cooking show.Kevin was too used to seeing Maya's very strange habits. The girl stopped squatting when she felt his presence. Maya smiled a little, as she greeted Kevin before the man could greet her first.“Good afternoon, Kevin. Are you hungry? I've cooked lunch. Evan and the others have eaten. Only you, who haven't eaten yet,” sa
“First, I'm not speaking to judge you right now. You consider me as a friend, I also do the same. But Finola, you should be aware that your identity has been too suspicious all along. Evan probably didn't say anything. But I know, even he also doubts your background, which is too strange to be real. Creating magic food with unconventional methods is already strange. And yesterday, you displayed a fighting skill that can't be trained in a short times. We didn't only face one attacker that time. Even for myself, I had a hard time dealing with two to three assassins at once. Yet, you took care of the rest without harming anyone, Finola. The way you handled the assault… It didn't look like the girl who had been living in torment for a long time and was living at home in a state of disrepair.”As Kevin conveyed his suspicions, the relaxed atmosphere around them gradually began to dissipate. Both Kevin and Maya looked at each other's faces, as if trying to judge each other's thoughts, as the
Finished speaking, Kevin, who was just about to enter, stopped walking when the man saw his best friend already sitting in front of the door with his eyes focused on them. The man probably just stayed silent without saying anything. But with a deep frown on the man's forehead, Kevin already knew that his best friend wasn't happy about something right now.Evan's gaze continued to focus on his wife, who still hadn't noticed her presence from afar because Maya was busy lowering her head. Evan lightly tapped on the armrests of his wheelchair, making Kevin unconsciously depressed just by that simple movement.They just talked and exchanged smiles at the end of the conversation. Kevin thought, his friend couldn't have misunderstood them, right?They just talked alone in a quiet place and smiled at each other while looking at each other. All right, Kevin knew he must have misunderstood his best friend by now.“ … I can explain everything, Evan,” Kevin said hastily. The man shifted his body,
Maya's days passed peacefully from then on. Throughout her life, it seemed that her life in the village was the most peaceful life she could enjoy. On many occasions, Maya could only sit and occasionally walk with Evan to get rid of her boredom.As long as Evan kept an eye on her, Maya really wasn't allowed to exercise until her body was completely healed. Only if Evan and Kevin were busy working, Maya could finally practice quietly as usual. In those days, Maya could see that neither Evan nor Kevin could go anywhere apart from their study and bedroom. Maya could see the two discussing and working on a seemingly never-ending pile of documents. Every day was full of monotonous activities for Maya, and excruciating boredom for the girl.Everyone seemed very busy in the villa. While she, who can only cook and heal herself, can only wander in sheer boredom.“Why do I have to use an armrest like this? I want to take it off ….”Maya wailed in a weak voice, when her free hand was really itchi
Maya's eyes narrowed with a smile, as her eyes stared at the house that looked brand new after the attack on Evan's house a few days ago. It seems that to relieve the trauma, Kevin remodeled the house in several sections that are directly related to the incident. Evan's mansion seemed warmer this time. And it's beautiful because Evan has arranged a new flower garden in the front yard of the house after Maya said that she likes to see flowers when she was at Evan's villa.Maya paused for a moment just to stare at the flower garden when the butler started to get busy bringing in their things again. Maya politely declined when Evan's butler was about to bring a suitcase containing her belongings. Evan's house is currently short of workers. Maya didn't want to make life difficult for the butler, who was already old. Maya's armrest had also been removed before they returned home. The girl was already fine, very fine, just to take her suitcase.With her clear eyes, Maya stared at the beautif
The next morning, Maya seems to have been busy in the kitchen since early morning. Not just busy. The woman really looks like a mad scientist, as the girl prepares a new variety of food at the dinner table. Fortunately, the other people who now live at Evan's house are used to seeing food in such a strange shape. Or they might be frightened, seeing the mutated plant cooked by Maya.Even though since the attack, Maya had only been assisted by one chef when it was cooking time, Maya was still very satisfied with the results of her cooking even for today. Working without many people made it easier for Maya to do some experiments, without anyone seeing her as a freak because of her actions.First, Maya knew that they had to move quickly after Evan's uncle blatantly tried to kill them back then. Since for now, Maya's best ability is only to heal people with her food, Maya wants to start her plan by making everyone healthy first. Now, Anton doesn't just target Evan. That man had targeted her
“Kevin, can I ask you a favor about something?”When Evan was on his way to go to the bathroom before the man left for work, Maya immediately spoke before Evan returned from his activities to get ready for work as usual. Maya's serious expression had left Kevin speechless for a while. The man knew Maya was going to talk about something serious. So to shorten the time, Kevin immediately nodded in reply to Maya's question.“As long as I can do it, I will help you, Finola,” he said firmly. Maya smiled in relief at the answer. She confirmed that Evan had just turned to go to his room, when she went straight to Kevin to whisper to the man.“Actually, I need all the related information about Anton, Evan's uncle. I know in my contract I shouldn't interfere in Evan's family matters like this. But now Evan is a friend of mine, so I can't just stand by when he's been bullied by someone, Kevin.”“ ….”Kevin almost thought that Maya was treating her best friend as a child when the girl spoke about
Evan's dark eyes stared blankly at his office, which was quiet during work hours. The image of Maya's crying, for some reason, continue to stick in that man's memory. Even at breakfast, Maya's crying face lingered in Evan's memory. The man felt he couldn't focus today, as long as Maya's image kept bothering him.Evan knew that Maya was crying because the girl was moved by his gift at that time. But Evan still couldn't help himself, to feel that his chest tightened every time he saw a single tear trickle down from those eyes that used to always look strong and passionate.Evan didn't want to see Maya cry. Not only did he not want to see, it would probably be more accurate to say that Evan didn't want Maya to cry at all. The man wants his wife to always be happy. His wife was a good girl, Evan thought she also deserved all the happiness in this world.That girl deserves someone better. Not him who was crippled and always brought danger to those around him.Due to his frustrated thoughts,
