Chapter 132 Marve tried her hardest to pull Sergioâs phone out of his pocket. She stayed conscious long enough to call 911 and passed out.
The next day, Maeve drowsily opened her eyes. When she saw Larry pacing beside her bed, she rasped, âWhereâs Sergio?â
Larry looked relieved when he heard her voice. He quickly asked, âMadam, are you thirsty?â
Marve shook her head and asked again, âSergio... Whereâs Sergio?â
âMr. Brooks...â Larry looked nervous.
âMr. Brooks was severely injured. Heâs currently in the Intensive Care Unit.â
Upon hearing his words, Marve tried to get up. Larry quickly held her arm down âMadam, the doctor said you were severely injured too, so you shouldnât get out of bed for now!â
Maeve didnât have the strength to speak. Sergio only sustained such heavy injuries because he saved her. She couldnât relax if she didnât see him in person.
âMadam...â When Larry tried to stop her, they heard a commotion outside.
âWhereâs Mavy? Is she okay?â
Maeve could tell that it was Philipâs voice. Larry checked outside the room and saw Philip and Sharon. Sharon was looking around like she was trying to find Marve âThatâs right. How is Ms. Scott doing?â
Scott Manor.
Maeve saw just how nervous Sharon was through the window. It was clear that Sharon was eager to know if she died.
Recalling how her brakes suddenly stopped working, Maeve fell into thought. Her car was fine before she drove it to Scott M She heard Larry say outside the room, âIâm sorry. Madam is resting right now.â
âLet them in,â Maeve said calmly. She noticed a trace of disappointment in Sharonâs eyes. Her survival wasnât what Sharon wanted.
Philip immediately rushed into the room. His heart ached when he saw the wounds all over her body and the bandages wrapped around her forehead.
âWhat earth happened? How did you end up like this?â
âI think someone messed with my brake pad. My brakes didnât work.â
Philip looked shocked and confused upon hearing her words. Maeve observed Sharonâs expression, but she didnât see anything wrong.
Was Sharon not the one who did it? But who else could it be besides Sharon?
Philip glanced at Sharon and said, âGet out of the room.
Sharon was stunned. She asked, âPhil, youâre telling me to get out? Are you suspecting me?â
Philip took a deep breath and stayed silent.
Sharon put her hands on her hips and said, âPhilip! Iâve lived with you for so many years.
âEven if I didnât contribute much, I still contributed a lot of effort. How could you treat me like Iâm a thief?â
Philip didnât say it straight to her face, but Sharon still glared at him and shouted, âHow dare you suspect me!
âFine, then show me the proof! If you have proof, Iâll turn myself in!â
âNo one said it was you. Mavyâs still resting, so get out!â
âWhy, you!â
âGet out!â Philip insisted that Sharon was disturbing Maeve, so all Sharon could do was angrily stomp out of the hospital room Maeve thought that Sharon didnât look like she was acting. If Sharon were the culprit, she wouldnât have been so confident.
âMavy, I know you think st Sharon might be the culprit, but I can guarantee she isnât.â
âI know, Uncle Philâ Maeve said, âEven though Aunt Sharon normally speaks harshly, she wouldnât be able to do something like this.â Maeve wanted to say that Sharon wouldnât be able to do something like that for now, but she didnât.
Milip nodded and said, âSheâs just a little harsh. Iâll check the surveillance cameras when I get home. I swear Iâll find the culprit for you.â âOkay,â
