Chapter 132 - Be Sensible

Chapter 132: Chapter 130: Be Sensible Liam looked at the girl crying uncontrollably, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, walked to the window ledge, and extended his right hand to her, saying, "Come down!"

Henry was used as a bargaining chip, so Maya dared not disobey, but she didn’t reach out for Liam’s hand; instead, she supported herself with both hands on the window ledge and climbed down.

Her mood was terrible, so bad that she didn’t know how to face tomorrow; she even dared not look at Henry. Even though he voluntarily jumped into the sea to save her, she still felt guilty. After all, human life is at stake, and she couldn’t adopt an indifferent attitude.

Liam looked at the girl with tears in her eyes by the window and thought about her accusations against him, feeling even more indescribable.

It seems he thought too highly of their relationship. From her words just now, he could tell she extremely disliked him, hated him. Being with him, she felt very suppressed and very unhappy.

He turned around, glanced at Henry lying on the hospital bed, then looked at Maya, who was a mess, tearful and sniffling.

Finally, he still extended his right hand, touched her face, and wiped the tears from it, only to have Maya suddenly raise her hand and slap his hand away.

In an instant, Liam also got furious, suddenly grabbed the girl’s neck, angrily warning her, "Maya, I’m giving you face, you’d better recognize it."

At this moment, his grip on Maya’s neck was not heavy, so he heard her recklessly say, "I am not recognizing it; go ahead and strangle me! A life for a life, drag you down as a scapegoat, my death would serve me right."

This was the second time Maya wanted to drag Liam to die with her. The last time, he could treat it as a joke. However, this time, seeing her fierce eyes, he couldn’t convince himself it was a joke.

He had always thought Henry wasn’t important to her, but he was wrong. Her indifference to Henry was nothing but an act. Upon hearing the news that Henry couldn’t wake up, she still collapsed.

Liam didn’t know that Maya’s emotional breakdown was more due to him, due to his control over her.

He increased the pressure on her throat, smirked, and said, "So, thinking of ending it all? Maya, do you think I’d let you go easily?"

Then, he quickly let her go, grabbed her waist, pulled her into his arms, placed his right hand on the back of her head, and kissed her lips. But this time, his kiss was no longer gentle; he bit her painfully, making her cry even more fiercely.

Maya raised her arms, trying hard to push him away, but it was of no use,

She couldn’t imagine what mindset he had while kissing her; could he show a little respect? Could he not do it in Henry’s hospital room?

Until he stopped kissing her, she tightly gripped the collar of his shirt, raised her head, and cried, begging him, "I was wrong! Please don’t do this, okay?"

"Too late!" The man’s response consisted only of these two words. He had given her a chance earlier, but she said she was clueless.

"Liam, I’m begging you! Please don’t do this; this is Henry’s hospital room."

"Now you’re scared? Where was your mind just now? But, maybe, if Henry saw us like this and got stimulated, he’ll wake up." Despite hearing Maya’s pleading, he had no intention of letting her go,

"Cough, cough... cough, cough... Maya cried and cried, then started coughing, pushing him away frantically, but he restrained her again, holding her hands over her head.

"Bastard! Bastard!" Finally, Maya’s show of weakness ended. However, she was also too exhausted to resist further, and could only curse him between sobs, unable to vent her displeasure.

"Liam, you bastard!" Just as Liam was about to dive back into the matter, the room suddenly echoed with Henry’s extremely angry voice, even though his voice lacked some vigor, it clearly conveyed his anger.

Instantly, Maya was dumbfounded, her tears and cries came to a halt, leaving her in a daze. Could it be, just as Liam said, Henry was stimulated awake?

Immediately after, she felt Liam quickly tidy up her clothes.

Her collar’s button had just been fastened by him, when she saw Henry dragged Liam away from her, raising his fist and punching Liam in the face.

Seeing Henry able to throw punches, Maya was dumbstruck, stood up from the sofa, and didn’t know how to mediate the fight. Perhaps it’s because she wasn’t in the habit of mediating fights.

Then, she saw Liam grab Henry’s collar, push him suddenly against the wall, and smirk while questioning, "Young Master Reid dared to wake up? I thought I was doing Maya right in front of you, and you’d still be indifferent. But if Madam Reid finds out, she’d faint from fright, you wouldn’t wake up, what would she dare think?"

Listening to Liam’s inquiry, Henry wanted to resist him, but having lain down for days, his whole body was weak, unable to muster any strength. Thus, he angrily exclaimed, "Liam, if you dare touch Maya, I’m fighting to the death with you."

"Young Master has great courage; just when Maya was about to jump off the building, why didn’t you wake up?" Actually, at that moment, Henry wanted to wake up, but feared his sudden awakening would scare Maya, making things counterproductive.

Then he heard Liam say, "Unfortunately, I must tell you, I’ve long since slept with Maya,

At this moment, Henry exploded, his fists kept pounding against Liam, and he roared angrily, "You bastard, I’m going to kill you, how could you do it, you bastard!"

At this point, standing by the sofa, Maya understood everything.

It turned out that Henry was already awake; he was just pretending to be in a coma. That was why Liam deliberately said those words, to stimulate him. But it was unexpected that Henry treated Madam Reid so ruthlessly; his mother almost got scared sick in his presence, yet he hadn’t woken up.

Maya couldn’t understand or forgive Henry’s actions, thinking, what’s his meaning pretending to be dead on the bed, watching everyone worried around him? He’s in his twenties now, could he have some responsibility? Could he consider the feelings of others?

So, watching the men entangled in a fierce fight, Maya said not a word to mediate but stood by watching them fight. That couldn’t be better for the people she hated, tearing each other apart.

However, in the next second, her heart was hung high again; she just vented her emotions, completely offending Liam.

The facade maintained all these days was completely exposed. If he bore a grudge, if he wanted revenge on her, what should she do then? Her mother hadn’t been buried in the cemetery, how could she offend Liam?

While feeling fretful, Liam already put Henry down on the floor. As he brushed past her, he didn’t even spare her a proper glance.

Seeing this, Maya promptly chased after him, grabbed his wrist, and called out, "Liam!"
