No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 607 - 605 Ungrateful [2 Updates]

In an instant, Liam was stunned by Maya’s 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 couldn’t 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 father’s love since childhood, and she no longer needed it. He indeed disturbed her peaceful life.

She had already accepted everything—the fact that her father didn’t want her, and her mother’s suicide—but now, James suddenly appeared as her father. How was Maya supposed to accept and deceive herself?

"Maya, I’m sorry!" Liam thought about his mistake and sincerely apologized to Maya.

Listening to Liam’s apology, Maya frowned deeply and coldly said, "Don’t talk to me."

Right now, she didn’t 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 she’d break down. Liam didn’t want to add to her mental burden.

As for the problems between him and Maya, and the account she wanted to settle with him—let’s 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 girl’s face, momentarily feeling as if she didn’t recognize her.

Although she’d often bickered with Maya when she first knew her, she’d 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 uncle’s kindness to Maya—Maya 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; don’t meddle," Liam sternly warned Sophia.

In short, regardless of Maya’s mistakes, if anyone dared to touch Maya in his presence, it was absolutely impossible. He wouldn’t allow it.

"If it’s 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, don’t blame me for retaliating." It was the first time Liam threatened a woman with violence.

Listening to Liam’s threat, Sophia pointed angrily at Maya and said, "Maya, if anything happens to my uncle, I won’t let you go."

Before today, her relationship with Maya was very good; she’d been close to Maya, worn Maya’s clothes, and slept at her place. But facing her uncle’s injury, Sophia couldn’t forgive Maya.

Maya heard Sophia’s threats, but she didn’t 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, Sophia’s parents arrived.

When Sophia’s mother saw Maya, she immediately frowned, thinking, "This girl looks so much like her brother."

Maya looked at Mother Bennett’s expression, rolled her eyes indifferently, turned, and faced the wall, not wanting her to look. She knew what Mother Bennett was thinking and didn’t 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 didn’t 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 Madelyn’s daughter, she couldn’t afford to offend her. Helping her brother and upsetting the girl could lead to drastic consequences once he woke.

James’s insane affection for Madelyn was alarming. If this girl was Madelyn’s daughter, then she was practically James’s lifeblood, untouchable. Besides, this was between James and the girl; she just hoped her brother was safe—anything else wasn’t her concern.

Sophia saw her mother refraining from blaming Maya and felt disgruntled, pulling her aside and complaining non-stop, recounting Uncle’s kindness and Maya pushing him.

Yet, listening to Sophia’s grievances, Mother Bennett was almost certain her guess was correct: this girl was indeed her brother and Madelyn’s 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 brother’s condition?"

The doctor looked at the family members, then glanced at Maya and Liam standing behind, removing his mask and stated solemnly, "The patient’s body is not seriously injured, only some bruises. However, his head suffered an impact; we’ve dealt with the bleeding, and we’re monitoring. If no further cerebral hemorrhage occurs, the patient should wake up smoothly, and there shouldn’t be any more issues."
