Chapter 607 - Ungrateful
Begin Chapter 607 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" with: In an instant, Liam was stunned by Mayaâs outburst, and he knew, at least to... Find out more!
In an instant, Liam was stunned by Mayaâs outburst, and he knew, at least to some extent, that she blamed him for keeping things from her for so long and for pushing her towards James.He knew he mishandled the situation, but he couldnât pretend not to know anything after Maya and James met. He also wanted Maya to have the care and happiness she once missed.
Moreover, he personally felt James was a good person who would give Maya great paternal love, making up for what Maya had lost.
But he forgot Maya had never had a fatherâs love since childhood, and she no longer needed it. He indeed disturbed her peaceful life.
She had already accepted everythingâthe fact that her father didnât want her, and her motherâs suicideâbut now, James suddenly appeared as her father. How was Maya supposed to accept and deceive herself?
"Maya, Iâm sorry!" Liam thought about his mistake and sincerely apologized to Maya.
Listening to Liamâs apology, Maya frowned deeply and coldly said, "Donât talk to me."
Right now, she didnât want to discuss the matter or talk. She just wanted some peace.
Seeing Maya irritated, Liam stopped dwelling on it. Besides, too much had happened today, and Maya needed time to process it, or sheâd break down. Liam didnât want to add to her mental burden.
As for the problems between him and Maya, and the account she wanted to settle with himâletâs wait until Maya was clear-headed to address them.
No matter how much Maya blamed him or acted out, his love for her remained deep and unwavering.
When they arrived at the hospital, it was seven-thirty in the evening, and James was undergoing examinations and emergency care.
At the entrance of the operating room, Sophia saw Maya arrive. She looked at the cold expression on the girlâs face, momentarily feeling as if she didnât recognize her.
Although sheâd often bickered with Maya when she first knew her, sheâd never seen Maya so cold, as if she was without a soul.
But what made her angrier was Maya pushing her uncle down from upstairs.
Usually, her uncle treated her well, even cooking for her and crafting brushes by hand. How could she do such a thing?
Sophia thought about her uncleâs kindness to MayaâMaya was so ungrateful it made her furious.
So, she quickly walked up to Maya, raised her arm, intending to slap her.
Though her move was fast, Liam was faster, as if he anticipated this scene. The moment Sophia raised her arm, he lifted his right hand, grabbing her wrist, and pushed her back.
Sophia saw Liam defending Maya, gritting her teeth in anger, pointing at Maya, furiously accusing, "Maya is so ungrateful. Uncle treated her so well; how could she push him? How did he ever offend her to deserve such a harsh act?"
"Sophia, things are not how you think; donât meddle," Liam sternly warned Sophia.
In short, regardless of Mayaâs mistakes, if anyone dared to touch Maya in his presence, it was absolutely impossible. He wouldnât allow it.
"If itâs not what it seems, then what is it? Are all the house staff blind? Is everyone falsely accusing her?" Sophia wanted to fight for her uncle, but Liam blocked the way, giving her no chance at all, which irritated her.
"Wait until your uncle comes out; then everything will be clear. But if you dare touch Maya, donât blame me for retaliating." It was the first time Liam threatened a woman with violence.
Listening to Liamâs threat, Sophia pointed angrily at Maya and said, "Maya, if anything happens to my uncle, I wonât let you go."
Before today, her relationship with Maya was very good; sheâd been close to Maya, worn Mayaâs clothes, and slept at her place. But facing her uncleâs injury, Sophia couldnât forgive Maya.
Maya heard Sophiaâs threats, but she didnât take them to heart; she just stared blankly at the operating room, her mind blank, uncertain what to think or even what she should be thinking.
Half an hour later, Sophiaâs parents arrived.
When Sophiaâs mother saw Maya, she immediately frowned, thinking, "This girl looks so much like her brother."
Maya looked at Mother Bennettâs expression, rolled her eyes indifferently, turned, and faced the wall, not wanting her to look. She knew what Mother Bennett was thinking and didnât want to be eyed with such suspicion or doubted for her relationship with James.
Mother Bennett was smart; she knew about the story between James and Madelyn.
Thus, although she knew Maya pushed her brother down the stairs, she didnât blame her, just waiting for the situation inside the operating room.
She knew if her guess was correct and the girl was indeed her brother and Madelynâs daughter, she couldnât afford to offend her. Helping her brother and upsetting the girl could lead to drastic consequences once he woke.
Jamesâs insane affection for Madelyn was alarming. If this girl was Madelynâs daughter, then she was practically Jamesâs lifeblood, untouchable. Besides, this was between James and the girl; she just hoped her brother was safeâanything else wasnât her concern.
Sophia saw her mother refraining from blaming Maya and felt disgruntled, pulling her aside and complaining non-stop, recounting Uncleâs kindness and Maya pushing him.
Yet, listening to Sophiaâs grievances, Mother Bennett was almost certain her guess was correct: this girl was indeed her brother and Madelynâs daughter.
So, she frowned, glaring at Sophia and reprimanded, "Sophia, keep your mouth shut. Wait until your uncle comes out to resolve matters."
Sophia saw her mother defending Maya and felt even more aggrieved, pouting and glaring at Maya viciously, then snapped her mouth shut, complaining no more.
Two hours later, the lights in the operating room went out, a doctor emerged, and James was pushed through the back to the intensive care unit.
Mother Bennett and Father Bennett saw the doctor and quickly approached to ask, "Doctor, how is my brotherâs condition?"
The doctor looked at the family members, then glanced at Maya and Liam standing behind, removing his mask and stated solemnly, "The patientâs body is not seriously injured, only some bruises. However, his head suffered an impact; weâve dealt with the bleeding, and weâre monitoring. If no further cerebral hemorrhage occurs, the patient should wake up smoothly, and there shouldnât be any more issues."
