No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 438 - 436: Die 100 Times [Part 1]

Maya listened to Henry Reid’s comfort, lifted her head, looked at him, and politely said, "Thank you."

Henry Reid’s recognition gave Maya some relief, but her anxious heart was still tied to Liam Spencer.

So, after thanking him, she quickly walked over to stand behind Christopher Scott and the others, listening to the doctor’s report. Her eyes occasionally glanced towards the rescue room, but she didn’t see Liam’s figure.

This wasn’t the first time Maya had experienced such a scene.

The last time, when Ethan Turner passed away, it was also in this hospital. She recalled how she couldn’t wake Liam in the bedroom no matter what, a trace of fear arose in her heart. She was even afraid of hearing the doctor’s result, so she subconsciously stepped back two steps toward the rescue room.

Just then, the doctor began to speak. He said, "The third young master doesn’t have any burn injuries, but during the blood test, we found the components of a hypnosis drug, and there was serious smoke inhalation leading to mild oxygen deprivation. The hypnosis drug has been neutralized through infusion. Next, we just need to wait for the third young master to wake up for everything to be fine. It’s unclear when exactly he’ll wake up, maybe three to five days, or perhaps a week later, because of the prolonged oxygen deprivation."

Everyone, listening to the doctor’s results, finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was no life-threatening danger.

Standing at the entrance of the rescue room, Maya, hearing that her biggest worry wouldn’t happen and her brother would be okay, finally let out a long breath.

"Oxygen deprivation? After waking up, will it affect the body and brain?" Xavier Graham asked.

Xavier’s question raised everyone’s alertness again. Severe oxygen deprivation might cause someone to become like a fool, and the astute Liam might end up not using his brain properly. This possibility was something they couldn’t accept, as they couldn’t imagine Liam living like an idiot; it would break them.

Listening to Xavier’s question, Maya held her breath immediately, clenching her fists tightly, and her face turned pale with fear.

The doctor, listening to Xavier’s question, answered very conservatively, "This needs to be checked after the third young master wakes up."

The doctor’s uncertain answer lifted everyone’s spirits again, each looking grim. Elijah Reed was so angry he gnashed his teeth, itching to find out the cause immediately and avenge Liam.

"The patient has already been moved to the ward through the back door, you can go to the ward to wait for him." The doctor, seeing these anxious figures, had sweaty palms, fearing if he said something wrong, the hospital might be torn down.

Upon hearing the doctor’s reminder, everyone turned to head to the ward. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

In the VIP superior ward, Liam was wearing a blue pinstriped hospital gown, with an oxygen mask on his face, lying motionless on the bed, his complexion pale, almost like he was dead.

Beside the large bed, everyone stood in twos or threes on both sides, while Maya stood alone, cautiously at the foot of the bed.

Maya’s worried gaze made Xavier and the others increasingly puzzled, unsure who she was trying to protect.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the ward was very still, so quiet it made Maya fearful. She wanted everyone to go home, and just stay with Liam herself.

But judging by the current scene, none of them wanted to leave. They seemed uneasy about leaving Liam in her care, as if she was the culprit.

In fact, she did bear some responsibility for this, but she didn’t foresee it. Had she known beforehand that Ella Turner didn’t trust Liam, she wouldn’t have agreed to let Ella visit. However, now, regardless of her regret and distress, it was useless. She could only pray for Liam to wake up safely without any further issues.

"Maya, why does Liam have a large amount of hypnosis drug in his body? What incense did you burn at home?" Xavier, as the eldest, thought about things more deeply.

Upon hearing Xavier’s questioning, Maya turned pale with fright and hesitantly explained, "It was just mosquito-repellent incense, but I also smelled it, so it shouldn’t be the incense."

Actually, she hadn’t lit any incense at all, she had lied earlier, and now she had to continue lying to cover up the lie. Moreover, she didn’t understand how Ella managed to set her bedroom on fire; she had only heard of time bombs, could there also be a timed fire device?

"Mosquito-repellent? It’s November, are there any mosquitoes in your house?" Xavier didn’t believe Maya’s explanation at all.

"It’s not because of the incense. Liam ate too much ice cream last night and had a fever when he woke up today. Maybe the fever medicine contained some sedative ingredients meant to let him sleep well." As Xavier pressed closer step by step, Maya became more flustered, her voice growing quieter, and her momentum diminishing.

"Which pharmaceutical company’s fever medicine, and what’s its name?"

"That, that, I don’t remember, it’s at home." Maya started stammering.

"Wasn’t it your family doctor who saw Liam’s fever? I’ll call and ask the doctor why he prescribed hypnosis drugs for Liam." Maya’s guilty demeanor made Xavier even more suspicious.

Despite these days of their loving relationship, it was undeniable that Liam had indeed hurt her three years ago. Three years later, he left her hanging at their engagement party, so Xavier didn’t rule out the possibility that Maya stayed by Liam’s side, just pretending to compromise, waiting for a chance to take revenge.

Xavier, like Liam, was a conspiracy theorist, and Xavier never trusted women. He didn’t even date girls, much less touch them, so he suspected Maya.

Seeing Xavier’s aggressive stance, Maya couldn’t bear it anymore. She wasn’t someone to be easily provoked either.

So, she took a deep breath, glared angrily at Xavier, and reprimanded, "Xavier, what do you mean, are you suspecting me? Suspecting I drugged Liam, lit the fire, and wanted to burn him to death? Let me tell you, if I wanted to kill Liam, he would have died a hundred times by now."

Maya wasn’t wrong. She slept beside Liam every night, and killing him would have been effortless. There was no need for such elaborate scheming, let alone rushing back from the hot pot place to see Liam.

Even though she knew who the culprit was, she hadn’t revealed the person, but being suspected by Xavier made her uncomfortable too, and she finally exploded.

Maya’s sudden outburst shocked everyone in the ward. It was the first time they saw Xavier being yelled at, and even Xavier himself turned pale from being scolded.

Lately, Maya had been living comfortably, having not shown her temper in a while, almost making everyone forget that she was not someone to be trifled with.

Hearing Maya’s retort, Xavier was momentarily speechless. He wasn’t at a loss for words to counter her, but her shifting from grievances one moment to a complete turnaround the next left Xavier unable to accept it.

"Big brother, Maya would never harm the third brother, you’re just too tense," Christopher Scott quickly stepped up to mediate the awkward situation.

"Yes, the third brother and sister-in-law are so close, sister-in-law wouldn’t do such a thing," Hudson Moore chimed in hurriedly.
