No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 620 - 618: Won’t You Rest? [5 Updates]
It wasn’t until he felt the warmth of Maya Spencer’s hand that James Bennett was completely at ease, finally realizing that Maya really didn’t blame him.
After the doctor finished the examination, he calmly said, "The patient is fine now. A few days of rest and some body conditioning will be good."
"Thank you, Dr. Aaron," Liam Spencer politely expressed his gratitude.
At noon, Sophia Bennett and Madam Bennett came together, bringing handmade soup and meals for James Bennett, Maya Spencer, and Liam.
Seeing her uncle awake, Sophia happily prayed to various deities in the hospital room while Madam Bennett busied herself setting the tableware for everyone. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Seeing Madam Bennett working alone, Maya quickly went over to help, saying, "Auntie, let me do it!"
In these few days, Sophia, Madam Bennett, and Old Master Bennett were all exhausted from staying at the hospital.
Maya had initially thought that since she had hurt James Bennett, Madam Bennett certainly wouldn’t let her off easily, but unexpectedly, she didn’t utter a word of blame.
Although James was awake now, Maya’s sense of guilt still hadn’t disappeared.
Hearing Maya call her auntie, Madam Bennett felt much better and immediately responded with a smile, "Maya, I’ll do it, you go help your dad up for dinner."
"Okay!" Maya set the bowls and dishes in her hands, then turned around and walked inside the hospital room, calling out, "Dad, it’s time to eat."
Since James Bennett woke up today, Maya had been by his side, but she hadn’t found the right opportunity to call him dad, making James worry whether she hadn’t fully accepted him yet, considering he had missed out on twenty-two and a half years of her life.
Now, hearing Maya call him dad, James’ eyes reddened, filled with extreme emotion, staring at Maya intensely, momentarily at a loss for words.
Seeing the excitement in James’ eyes, Maya took a deep breath, approached his bed, helped him sit up, and said, "Dad, Auntie has prepared a lot of delicious food for you to get your strength back."
Seeing James move sluggishly, Sophia immediately supported his other arm and said, "Yes, the doctor said you definitely need to replenish yourself now."
"Maya!" Hearing Maya call him dad again, James tried his best to suppress his excitement and called out to Maya.
Seeing James have difficulty accepting her affection, Maya felt a bit awkward; she wasn’t used to such emotionally charged situations.
Until now, she was only accustomed to acting spoiled and humorous with Liam, remaining quite serious in front of others.
Despite having reconciled with James, there was still some distance between them, unlike the years of bonding she shared with Liam.
So, she awkwardly smiled and apologized, "I was too impulsive that day, sorry, I shouldn’t have pushed you down the stairs."
"It’s fine! It’s fine! Dad doesn’t blame you; he knows you didn’t do it on purpose." Maya’s apology made James overjoyed.
"Brother, Maya, Sophia, and the Third Young Master, come eat!" Madam Bennett noticed the people in the hospital room hadn’t come to the dining room and went to call them.
This broke the tense atmosphere, and everyone went to the dining area together.
At the dining table, Madam Bennett served soup to everyone while saying, "Maya, you’ve been here for several nights, and since the Third Young Master returned, you haven’t gone home and stayed at the hospital. After finishing your meal, you both should go back and rest. Sophia and I will watch over the hospital."
"I’m not tired; I can continue to stay here."
James felt warm learning Maya stayed here for several nights. Although he wanted to stay with her for a while longer, he feared she might be too exhausted.
So he promptly agreed, "Maya, you and the Third Young Master should go back and rest. I’m all right, and when I get discharged in a few days, we’ll all have a proper family gathering."
"No worries, I have nothing to do even if I go back. I’ll stay here with Sophia." Now that James had woken up, Maya wanted to monitor him herself, fearing he might have complications.
Seeing this, Sophia jokingly told Maya with a smile, "Maya, just go and rest! When you’re recharged, I have something to ask you to do for me!"
Without even asking, Maya knew Sophia was referring to something related to Christopher Scott.
Maya didn’t expect Sophia to be so sentimental this time, that she still hadn’t forgotten Christopher after all this time. But since Sophia had been going back and forth to the hospital this week, Christopher surely had some relief.
However, she didn’t know how Christopher was doing this week, whether he had moved on from Seven Murray, and if his mood had improved.
During James’ hospitalization, Christopher and the others had visited several times, but Maya was so focused on James that she hadn’t inquired about his condition.
So, after everyone’s persuasion, after lunch, Maya went home with Liam.
On the way, Maya fell asleep leaning against the passenger seat. In these few days of keeping vigil at the hospital with James, she hadn’t dared to sleep, nor even blink much, fearing she’d miss the moment James woke up.
Liam tightly held Maya’s small hand with his right hand while his left hand was on the steering wheel. Seeing the exhausted look on her face, he lifted her small hand, placed it on his lips, and gently planted a kiss, softly chiding, "Silly girl!"
When they arrived home, Liam carried Maya upstairs. Suddenly, Maya opened her eyes, looking at the handsome man in front of her, she immediately raised her hands, wrapped them around his neck, and playfully called out, "Third Brother!"
"You must be exhausted!"
Maya nodded and said, "Yeah!"
"I’ll carry you up to sleep."
"Okay! I want Third Brother to help me take a bath and sleep with me." She nestled into his arms, wanting nothing more than to sleep snugly in his embrace.
Liam couldn’t refuse Maya’s request, but noticing her exhaustion, he temporarily suppressed the flame of reunion joy and let her rest first.
However, Maya slept straight through until nine in the evening. She had intended to visit James at the hospital, but after calling him, James insisted she rest well at home and visit the next day.
So, Maya didn’t go.
Stretching lazily on the big bed in the bedroom, Maya noticed Liam was still working in the study attached to the bedroom.
She scratched her head, went to the bathroom, and after showering, saw Liam still working. She felt a little bored.
So, she took a deep breath, picked out a black lace nightgown and a sheer burgundy robe from her wardrobe.
She remembered Liam saying he loved her in black lace the most.
Then she lay half-hidden behind the sliding door, poking her head out, batting her big eyes, and coquettishly asked, "Third Brother, are you still busy with work? Not going to rest?"
Having slept all afternoon, she was now full of energy.
Hearing Maya’s question, Liam looked up and glanced at her. Seeing the playful expression between her brows, he knew exactly what she had in mind.
But he was reminded of the harsh words she had said to him during their argument a few days ago, and so he pretended to be indifferent, replying, "Mmm!"
