Never See You Again

Zion swallowed hard. He reached out to support the back of Maeve's neck. Just as he was about to kiss her fiercely, Zion regained his composure.

With a suppressed desire in his eyes, he said hoarsely, "If you still want to do it when you're sober, by all means. Now's not the right time." Maeve's eyes still looked bewildered. Zion struck her neck with the side of his hand, and the next second, Maeve fainted in his arms.

Zion wrapped Marve's body securely with a bath towel. He then carried her in his arms.

Philip and Sharon were at the door at that moment. He did not understand what was happening, but she looked tense.

Zion emerged from the room carrying Maeve. He swept his gaze over Sharon coldly.

Frightened and feeling guilty, Sharon averted her eyes

"You will pay for this when I return!"

With that, he hurried away with Maeve.

Philip was confused about what had happened. He looked suspiciously at Sharon beside him and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

"Zion's the crazy one! What does it have to do with me?" Sharon muttered and turned to leave.

In the hospital, saline was administered to Maeve through an IV drip. She had been unconscious for more than two hours.

Her complexion was pale, and she looked very weak.

When Maeve slowly regained consciousness, it was already evening.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Lyra..."

Maeve's voice was dry and hoarse.

Lyra was sitting by her side. After hearing Maeve's voice, she quickly came forward. "You're finally awake. Do you still feel uncomfortable? I'll call the doctor right away!"

Love

Maeve held Lyra's arm and asked, "Where is Zion?"

"Zion and Charlie went out. I don't know exactly what they are doing. They didn't tell me. What exactly happened? I was scared to death when I got the call!" Lyra's face was filled with concern. Maeve tried to recall what happened.

She remembered being drugged, but her memories afterward were fuzzy. As Maeve carefully recalled, the image of her tugging at Zion's clothes suddenly flashed in her mind.

Maeve's face tumed red abruptly.

"What's wrong? Did you remember something?" Lyra asked anxiously.

Maeve quickly shook her head. "No! I couldn't recall anything!"

Lyra paused as she was puzzled. "Why the strong reaction then?"

Maeve hastily averted her eyes. She calmed her emotions and said to Lyra, "I was just going to the family banquet at home. Sharon arranged. for me to meet the current head of the Quill family, Gordon."

"Is that the same Gordon? The one who's over forty and has been married and divorced twice?"

Lyra quickly understood what Sharon was thinking.

"How dare she? You are still Mrs. Brooks! Does she have a death wish?"

"She is convinced that Sergio and I will divorce. She wants to create an avenue for the Quill family and get ahead of me in the future,"

Maeve was clear about what Sharon was thinking, but she truly did not expect Sharon to dare plan such a thing during such an important event as a family banquet

If she had been aware at the time, perhaps it would not have escalated to this point now.
