Tatiana's eyes flashed with fury and helplessness, and several indecipherable emotions flickered past them.
Her fist clenched the phone in her hand, and she simply clicked on the little children's live video that had been trending. Every nurse and patient around her seemed to be talking about those kids, making her have the extreme urge to watch the children they were talking about.
Somehow, Tatiana felt that the content of the video was related to her, so she simply clicked on the video to watch.
The minute Tatiana heard the mention of the time the children’s mom went missing, her body shook, and she bit her lower lips…
“Maverick still hasn't visited yet?” Amell's voice suddenly interrupted Tatiana's thoughts.
As soon as Amell's voice drifted into Tatiana's ears, he gently strode into the ward while holding two paper bags containing fruits and a lunchbox each.
Tatiana quickly shut off her phone and placed it next to her. She trembled, and she raised her eyes to reveal red-rimmed eyes.
Tatiana bit her lower lip demurely; her face fell, and she shook her head with tears in her eyes. “Maverick hasn't. He must be busy with the company….”
Tatiana paused and sniffed pitifully. “He cannot be visiting the hospital daily for Tatiana. It's Tatiana's fault for getting sick. It's just that Tatiana missed Maverick too much.” Tatiana's face reddened shyly at her confession, yet her eyes reddened and tears pooled in her eyes at the thought of how she hadn't seen Maverick for days.
Although tears pooled in Tatiana's eyes, she clenched her fist and dug her nails into her palm stubbornly, as if to prevent herself from breaking down.
Upon hearing the woman of his heart confess to another man, Amell's heart hurt extremely.
However, seeing how much Tatiana silently suffered, his heart began to hurt on her behalf.
Amell knew Maverick hadn't been appearing in the company for a few days, nor was any of them able to contact him.
It was as if Maverick disappeared with the aim of making one unable to contact him.
Amell lowered his eyes to suppress his emotions. “It's okay,” he consoled, and he extended his hand to caress her hair. “Maverick will fulfill his promise.”
Tatiana raised her head to stare at Amell, and she bit her lower lip worriedly. ”it's not…” Tatiana pauses and shakes her hand in the air. Her brows knitted as if she had just recalled something.
“Tatiana is not worried at all. It's just. It's just that Tatiana heard the nurses talking about some random children talking about their missing mother on the live program. Tatiana's heart ached on their behalf, so Tatiana went to watch it for fun. It's not…” Tatiana paused, blinked, and bit her lower lips anxiously. Her lips parted and closed repeatedly as if to say something.
“I know Maverick had nothing to do with that woman called Valencia; she was only a substitute, right? She can't be the woman in the children's video, right?”
Amell's brows furrowed in confusion. He stared at Tatiana in bewilderment. “You mean Valencia is back?”
Amell's brows furrowed in displeasure upon recalling that lady who always tried to hang on Maverick all the time back then. He had found that girl an eyesore for a long time. Thankfully, she had disappeared at the wedding on her own; how can she be back?
Tatiana’s expression changed into panic, and she hurriedly shook her head as if Amell had quoted her wrong: “No. No. Tatiana believes in Maverick…” She suddenly paused and stared into the distance.
Her body shook, and her fist clenched. “If Maverick is really interested in that person, Tatiana is willing to let Maverick go. All Tatiana did was try to save Maverick—on Tatiana's accord—in the past; Maverick isn't indebted to Tatiana at all. If Maverick wants that person, Tatiana is willing to let go.” She suddenly broke down into tears; her eyes were red and her face was extremely pale.
Her shoulder began to shake, and her frail body began to tremble, giving one the urge to protect.
It felt as if Amell’s heart was punched deeply, making it hurt extremely, and his eyes reddened on her behalf.
He extended his heart towards her shaking body, but in the next second, he retracted his hand. After doing the same motion three or four times, he finally wrapped his hands around her shoulder and gently patted her shoulder.
”Don't cry anymore. Maverick will never let you down for that woman.” Amell suddenly pursed his gloomy lips. “I'll see Maverick tonight.”
Tatiana’s eyes widened, and she quickly shook her head in panic. She quickly wiped away her tears and clutched his cuff tightly. “Maverick must only be busy. Maverick can’t forget Tatiana. Big brother Amell, you don't need to...”
A hidden figure who had been watching their interaction all along let out a cold scoff and left.
Amell dons a gentle smile and reaches out to ruffle Tatiana's hair gently. “You're simply being too soft. I'll visit you later in the evening, okay?” Immediately, he stood up and began to leave.
Tatiana extended her hands and parted her lips as if to make a retort, but before she could, Amell walked out of the ward.
Immediately, Tatiana's eyes flashed with an indecipherable glint.
She clenched her fist slightly and took out her phone to watch the video of the children. The more she continued to watch the video, the more her face darkened.
By the time she finished watching the video, her face was laced with coldness. She bit her lower lip, quickly typed a number offhand, and dialed it.
The number picked up Tatiana's call at the first ring. Tatiana's countenance turned cold, and she began to convey in a cold voice, “I need you to check if Valencia Carter is in the country and if she has met Maverick already. I want a reply in less than three days.”
“p*****t?” A lazy and deep masculine voice immediately retorted.
Disgust flickered past Tatiana's, but despite that, she calmly replied, “Original.”
The man at the other end suddenly laughed as if he had just heard something funny. “You're in Lex now; how do I f**k you?” he uttered bluntly.
“You're in Lex too; let's set up a date soon.”
As soon as Tatiana conveyed her sentence, she threw her phone next to her in anger. She clenched her fist, hatred swirling in her orbs.
It's Valencia, that b***h fault, so Valencia had to pay.
Suddenly, a thought flickered in her mind, and her expression changed. She picked up her phone and resolved to call Maverick.
Hopefully, Maverick will pick up her call this time.
…
Valencia simply yawned languidly and stretched her body while thinking that she was living life like a salted fish these days. Except that her salted fish is simply being overfucked.
Wait. Wait. When had one heard about salted fish being f****d before?
Valencia stared at her stomach pitifully and languidly yawned with crocodile tears pooling in her eyes.
What if she's really on the verge of making another baby for this madman?
Valencia pursed her lips and began to recall the earlier conversation while Maverick was tossing her about.
When Valencia told Maverick that she wouldn't give birth to an illegitimate quadruplet, Maverick simply told Valencia to divorce Corbyn and let them get married like the original plan.
When Valencia asked if Tatiana would be able to wait for Maverick, Maverick said it didn't matter.
And Maverick simply went out of control on the bed.
Valencia's eye drooped, and she turned again.
In fact, Valencia was yet to understand the type of importance Tatiana is to Maverick.
If Maverick really liked Tatiana, then why did he tie Valencia down and refuse to meet Tatiana?
And why is Maverick unwilling to let Valencia the substitute go when there's Tatiana the original around?
The more Valencia thought about the unknown, the more her brain turned hotter, and she felt that she was about to turn insane due to confusion!
Valencia inhaled deeply to suppress her chaotic thoughts. She doesn't know what Maverick had done for the cirillo not to have rescued her.
Thinking about it, if she doesn't think carefully, at this rate, will she be able to leave?
Suddenly, Valencia recalled the existence of Tatiana, and a thought clicked in her mind.
Tatiana, who wants to marry Maverick, will be unwilling to let Maverick see Valencia, right?
Of course!
Normally, once a legitimate wife knows about the existence of her husband’s mistress, she'll simply go crazy and go all out to make the mistress's life a living hell!
If Tatiana should know about her existence in Maverick’s mansion...
Valencia paused, her eyes lit up, and her face brightened at the thought.
Valencia could already picture the scene of Tatiana releasing Valencia and asking Valencia to state her price so she could leave Maverick.
Not only will Valencia be able to escape, but she’ll also be accompanied by money. The more Valencia thought like this, the happier she was.
