When Maeve saw Serena''s expression, she remembered what Byron had said. She put aside the filter and thought about it. Finally, she understood. ''Wasn''t what she said... a little too deliberate? I''m not sure. Let''s hear more! "What is it?" Maeve asked patiently.


    "Mr. Mcdaniel''s eye injury is very serious. There''s a high rate that it can''t be treated." Serena did not beat around the bush and said directly, "I''m the only person who can treat him now."


    Maeve frowned slightly. "Aren''t you a psychiatrist? Do you know all this?"


    It was not that she did not suspect that Byron''s words yesterday were for her peace of mind. However, when she heard Serena say it, she could not help but feel her heart sink.


    "My father is an apothecary who specializes in cultivating rare medicinal herbs. He also has many ancient books on difficult illnesses. With him treating Mr. Mcdaniel, there''s at least an 80% chance of recovery," Serena said confidently. Maeve detected a hint of something and slowed down the small movement of rubbing the edge of the coffee cup.


    She looked at Serena with a probing gaze. "You didn''t look for Byron to discuss this matter. Instead, you came to look for me. I think I have something you want, right?"


    "Ms. Reese is very smart. You guessed it right. Only you can afford the condition for asking my father to help with the treatment." Serena''s smile deepened.


    "Just go ahead. What is it?"


    "I want you to break up with Mr. Mcdaniel."


    Maeve clenched her fists tightly. At first, she was surprised, but then she seemed to understand something. "You like Byron?!


    Serena admitted generously, "Mr. Mcdaniel is such an outstanding person. It shouldn''t be strange for me to fall in love with him, right? Moreover, in terms of friendship, I knew him earlier than you. If I hadn''t gone on a trip previously, you might not have been able to take advantage of me." If her father hadn''t stopped her, she wouldn''t have fallen so far behind Maeve.


    Fortunately, Maeve was just an ordinary person with unknown parents and an ordinary background. She could notpare to her, the eldest daughter of the Malvis family.


    Maeve almostughed. ''No wonder Serena revealed Byron''s first love to me before. She deliberately pretended to be very intimate with Byron in front of me. It turns out that she has been eyeing Byron for a long time. I actually don''t think too much about it.''


    "Dr. Malvis, it''s good to be confident, but it''s a little stupid to be too free." Maeve''s voice was calm. "Byron and I have known each other since four years ago. The second time we met, we registered our marriage. For some reason, we separated and got together again. No matter what, I can''t afford your word of taking advantage of you."


    When she and Byron got married in a sh, Serena was still unknown.


    How could she say that Maeve had snatched her man away?


    Serena frowned. "Impossible. Mr. Mcdaniel never mentioned it.


    Maeve smiled slightly. "Is there a possibility that it''s because he''s not that close to you?"


    "That''s none of your business." Serena was also calm. Her expression did not change. "If you want Mr. Mcdaniel to recover as

    soon as possible, you have to make a decision quickly."


    "Aren''t you afraid that I''ll tell Byron about this?"


    "Go ahead to tell him. It''s not the first time you''ve secretly made things difficult for me, right?"


    "Made difficult for you?"

    When Serena saw her feigning innocence, she was furious. She sheered and said, "Mr. Mcdaniel suddenly fired me. Isn''t it because of you?"


    "Thest time I made a mistake at work, Mr. Mcdaniel was not angry enough to fire me. If it wasn''t you instigating him, what else could it be?''


    Otherwise, Serena would not be in such a hurry to chase Maeve away from Byron. Maeve was a scourge.


    The corner of Maeve''s mouth twitched. If she said that she didn''t even know why Byron suddenly fired her, would she believe it?


    "In any case, Dr. Malvis probably won''t believe me even if I exin. I won''t waste my breath." Maeve picked up her bag and stood up. "I have to go back and think about this. I''ll give you an answer then."


    Serena remained silent. She was not worried that Maeve would not agree unless she could find a second Dr. Chatterly.


    Maeve returned to the apartment with a heavy heart. She felt relieved when she smelled the fragrance of food in the air.


    Will, wearing a cute bear apron, came out of the kitchen with a te of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in his small hands. The color looked quite good.


    He was already like a little man capable of supporting the family


    "Mommy, we saw that you''re not back yet, so we made dinner first. We want Mommy to eat hot rice and dishes directly when you get home." Will''s exquisite little face was red from the heat in the kitchen, which was even cuter than apples. Maeve''s heart softened. The gloom that Serena''s words had brought her dissipated a lot..


    "How can little Will be so capable? With you around, Mom can ck off as much as she wants."


    "Mom is tired after a long day. You should have a good rest when you get home," Will said matter-of-factly.


    The little guy, who was not even as tall as her legs, already had the shadow of a gentle man.


    Maeve patted his little head. It felt so good that she did not want to let go.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    She turned around and realized that she did not see Theo, so she asked. "Where is Theo?"


    "Theo is studying medical books in his room."


    "He''s not secretly eating snacks?"


    Will was embarrassed. "Mom, I hid the key to the snack cab. Theo doesn''t know where it is. So he can''t eat it secretly."


    ''Is that so?'' Maeve recalled that she had confiscated Theo''s sweets in the past. Later, she cleaned the room and found a pile of sweets from his pillow, under the nket, in the books on the bookshelf, and in the pillow. This guy was even better at hiding than a hamster.


    Maeve helped Will carry out the dishes and then went to the children''s room tounch a sneak attack.


    She thought that she would catch her youngest son eating food secretly, but she didn''t.

    Theo was standing in front of the desk, clutching a quaint book. In front of him was a pile of ss containers and handheld apparatus that didn''t look far away.


    Seeing that he was doing the extraction of medicinal herbs, Maeve was hesitating whether to disturb him when she was already discovered.


    "Mommy, you''re back!" Theo threw the things in his hands aside and pounced on Maeve like a swallow throwing itself into the forest. "I miss you so much! Do you miss me?!"


    Maeve was so sweetened by him that she picked Theo up casually. He was so heavy that she almost couldn''t hold him steadily. Look at how chubby he had be.


    "Of course. Mommy has been thinking about how you guys are doing in school when I''m free." Maeve hugged this sweet burden and smiled. "Why are you doing this instead of doing homework?"


    "I''ve already finished my homework!" Theo hugged Maeve''s neck and lowered his voice. "I saw a prescription in an ancient book that can treat the eyes. It requires arge amount of medicinal essence." Maeve chuckled. "And you said you hate your father. Don''t you like him a lot?"


    The little guy''s face was like a burning cloud, and he kept snuggling in her arms awkwardly. "No, no! I don''t like him! It''s only because Mommy likes him that I barely helped him!"
