"Maia."
Nicole called out to her. Seeing Maia's puzzled face, Nicole whispered, "You are a good sister."
Her words instantly moved Maia to tears.
In this lifetime, she lived for her younger brother. For her younger brother, and for rehabilitating her
parents, she lost herself, and was no more the old her. No one would like the now her.
Now that she heard Nicole's affirmation, Maia suddenly realized that she could still feel alive.
"Thank you, Nicole. Thank you so much."
"Have a good journey."
Nicole did not know what to say. She could not face Maia, so she could only turn around and leave the
ward.
In one's life, one made the decision for his own path. Even though Nicole admitted that Maia was a
good sister, the harm that Maia had done to her and Tim could never be forgotten.
Seeing Nicole come out, Tim asked worriedly, "What's going on? Did she do anything to you?"
"No, let's go out for a walk."
Nicole's words made Tim hesitate.
"But Maia...."
"Isn't someone from the Louis family here? It's fine. I feel bored. Walk with me."
Hearing this, Tim was reluctant to refuse her.
He nodded and walked out of the ward corridor side by side with Nicole.
Nicole looked at the sky and whispered, "It's really hard to imagine that you and I are cousins."
"It's fine if you don't want to admit it. I wish so."
Tim said playfully.
Nicole glared at him and said, "Don't blame yourself for Maia's matter. She is destined to walk a
different path with us. It's good that you have done your best to treat her well and have a clear
conscience."
"I know, but I still feel not well. Perhaps I am destined to live alone all my life."
"Don't talk nonsense. You just need to wait for the right person."
Nicole was worried that Tim would have other psychological burdens, so she couldn't help but comfort
him.
Tim shook his head and said, "There are some things that can't be settled by fate. For example, us. I
always thought that I could get you, but what happened? Now it turns out that we are brother and
sister. How ridiculous! And my mother wakes up at this moment. Now, she has directly cut off my
thoughts."
"Nonsense. But when it comes to this, I remember that it has been a long time since I heard from my
mother. I couldn't get through her this time. I've already contacted Finn, asking him to help me
investigate it. I don't know where my mother is now."
There was a trace of worry in Nicole's eyes.
Tim patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Auntie will be fine. Maybe she just wants to change the
environment and her mood, so she simply doesn't answer the phone. After all, you have really made
things hard for her."
"Perhaps. I just hope she's fine."
Nicole sighed.
The wind outside was not strong and it felt pleasant when it blew on one's face.
Tim looked at the hair on Nicole's side and had a mixed feeling.
He could no longer think about this woman that he had dreamed of. After all, she's his cousin.
Sometimes fate was strange, and it was very difficult to accept, it but he had to.
Nicole seemed to have noticed Tim's gaze. She turned to look at Tim and smiled, "What are you
looking at?"
"I'm looking at you. I can't even look at you like this anymore."
Nicole smiled.
"Quit it. Auntie is not feeling well now. I know that you might be depressed because of Maia. Why don't
you take Auntie out for a trip to relax?"
Hearing Nicole's suggestion, Tim shook his head.
"No, I'm not that fragile. Well, what do you want to tell me last time?"
At this moment, the nurse quickly ran over.
"Mr. Tim, Miss Maia has passed away."
"What?"
Tim was stunned.
How could it be so fast?
Just now, Maia didn't look too bad.
He looked at Nicole, a trace of doubt flashing through his eyes.
"Do you doubt what I've done to her? I don't like her, and I even hate her. But I will never attack a dying
person."
Tim also felt that he had gone too far.
He said at once, "I'm sorry, I'll go take a look now."
"I'll go with you."
Nicole was calmer than Tim.
Perhaps it was because she knew Maia's choice beforehand and she had learnt Maia's final fate. Even
though she also felt sorry, she could accept it.
Tim had intended to refuse her, but after looking at Nicole, he nodded.
When they arrived at the ward, Maia had already stopped breathing.
The ventilator also stopped working.
Cornell stood at the side and said sadly, "I'm sorry. We tried our best, but she suddenly suffered from
cardiac failure, so there's nothing we can do."
Before Tim could say anything, Nicole took out her phone and called the police.
Cornell looked a little flustered.
"Mrs. Green, what are you doing?"
"It's none of your business, doctor. From now on, before the police arrive, please stay in this ward."
Nicole's resolute attitude instantly made Tim frown.
"What's going on?"
"Don't say anything. You'll know when the time comes."
Nicole said indifferently and stopped looking at Tim.
Cornell was extremely nervous.
"Mrs. Green, I have another operation. You have to let me leave."
"I've already have someone inform the dean to appoint another doctor. So, Doctor Cornell, you don't
have to worry about the operation. This will only take you a while."
Nicole looked at Cornell's guilty expression and smiled.
However, Cornell was even more uneasy because of this.
"Mrs. Green, we really did our best to save Maia. Everyone here can prove it."
"I know. I didn't say that you didn't try your best to save her. I just said that we'll talk about it when the
police arrive."
Nicole refused to say anything more.
Cornell intended to leave with excuses several times, but he was blocked back by Nicole.
Only then did Tim realize that Cornell was suspicious.
If he was innocent, what was he afraid of?
Cornell looked terrifyingly panicked right now, and he even wanted to run out no matter what.
Did Maia's death carry other secrets?
Tim frowned.
Sensing that Tim was observing him, Cornell immediately calmed himself down. He smiled faintly, but
sweat oozed out of his palms.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Tim stared fixedly at Cornell, making it hard for Cornell to breathe.
"Mr. Tim, are you joking? How could I hide something from you?"
"Really? You’d better not lie to me, otherwise...."
Tim sneered, but Cornell trembled with fear.
At this moment, the police arrived.
"Who called the police? What's wrong?"
"It's me. Someone was murdered here."
Nicole hurriedly said.
The police knew Nicole.
"Mrs. Green, what do you mean?"
The policeman looked at Nicole and asked.
Nicole pointed at Cornell and said word by word, "I accused him of murdering Maia Harper."
"Mrs. Green, you can't talk nonsense. I'm a doctor, and how could I...."
"Well, let Maia tell us the truth."
The moment Nicole said those words, Cornell couldn't be more frightened.
"What do you mean? Mrs. Green, what are you talking about?"
Nicole didn't say anything else. She directly walked to Maia's bedside and took out a sound monitor
from under the bed.
She operated the monitor on, and soon Cornell's voice came out.
"Maia, why did you do that? You know that all you have achieved was all thanks to her, but why did you
fight against her? Last time, we have already sent someone to kill Martha, but you must interfere to
save her. Well, you did save her, but did she appreciate your kindness? Did she allow you to marry her
son? That's why it's useless for you to struggle no matter what."
Maia coughed twice and said, "What do you mean? Are you here to kill me? I'm already like this, and I
won't live long. So you won't let me go?"
"You know that she won’t be to at ease as long as you’re alive. If you say something to Tim out of blind
love, then our plan will be over. Now that you have hidden your brother, we can't find him. Do you think
we will keep you in this world?"
Cornell's voice sounded again.
Maia coughed fiercely and said, "I have done so much for you. Now that you have broken all my bones,
I am already disabled. However, if you kill me, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Well, retribution? If there is such a thing, after so many years, the person who is supposed to have the
first retribution should have long since disappeared. But wasn't she still alive and well? Maia, don't
blame me. I also have to rely on her for a living! Don't worry, I'll add some medicine to your fluid
infusion. You won't suffer too much. In just a few minutes, you won't feel anything. We were once
friends, and this is my last farewell."
As Cornell spoke, there came some noises.
Maia smiled bitterly and said, "Bella is really ruthless! I've done so many things for her, yet she actually
refused to let me enjoy a natural death in the end. However, I believe that the god knows what she has
done. She will get what she deserves!"
"It's over. Maia, goodbye!"
Maia struggled, but no matter how she struggled, she could not make it. They heard some noises, and
Tim was so angry that his veins popped out.
"You bastard!"
He punched Cornell on the bridge of his nose, and immediately a stream of warm blood sprayed out.
"He wants to kill me! Officer, help!"
Cornell was so scared that he hurriedly covered his bleeding nose and ran towards the police.
"This is slander, slander! This voice is synthetic. It was not me! It’s really not me!"
Nicole sneered and took out a camera from the hospital decorative painting.
"Cornell, do you want to watch the surveillance video?"
When Cornell saw this, he instantly collapsed onto the floor.
He knew it was over.
Tim looked at Nicole with sharp eyes and anger.
