Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve)
Chapter 138

Chapter 138

Lyra entered the room after Philip left. She had been listening at the door, and although it was said that blood is thicker than water, she had never heard of family trying to kill each other.

"Zee has always been firm, but this time he seems to have softened. Lyra added, "Usually Zion wouldn't bother with evidence. He would've imprisoned your cousin in the chamber. James probably would be dead by now. Making him surrender himself to the police is mercy for him."

"The chamber?"

Maeve looked at Lyra in confusion. She had never heard of that term before

Lyra shook her head and explained, "It's probably just a word they use. I don't know exactly what it refers to, and Charlie didn't explain it to me in detail."

Maeve fell silent. People like Zion, who walk on the edge daily, must have his way to instill fear in others.

Lyra sald, "Maybe Zee didn't want to put you in a difficult position. After all, your uncle has been good to you."

After saying that, Lyra couldn't help but express her frustration, "Why didn't he visit you immediately after he found out what happened to you? He doesn't understand women at all. He's so clueless," Suddenly, Charlie coughed from outside the door.

Lyra sat up straight, and when she turned around, she saw Zion standing outside the door, looking flustered as if he h

had hurried over

"I could hear your complaints from miles away. A good sister wouldn't badmouth their brother," Charlie said as he brought in a fruit basket, then moved a chair to sit beside Lyra. Zion, on the other hand, sat silently on the nearby sola

Maeve glanced at Zion quietly. He seemed calm about the whole thing. It was as if he had never been to Scott Manor at all.

"Lyra was in a hurry to go to the hospital just now, so I thought something must have happened to you," "Charlie said with concem. "We're all good friends. When something happens, you should let us know! We would have had your back! So, who did it?"

Maeve and Lyra knew Charlie was playing dumb.

Lyra raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, "Oh? You don't know?"

"How would I know?" Charlie said, looking surprised. "I'm not a mind reader!"

"Are you sure?" Lyra's tone changed, clearly seeing the guilt in Charlie's eyes.

Charlie couldn't stand Lyra's scrutinizing gaze. He averted his guilty eyes, not daring to meet Lyra's gaze.

Maeve smiled and intervened, "The culprit has been caught. It's just a family dispute."

"Family, huh? That's tricky. Otherwise, I would have had someone catch that brat and give him a good beating!" Charlie sighed as if lamenting.

Lyra rolled her eyes. Did he take them for fools?

Zion asked softly, "Are you ready to leave the hospital?"

Maeve hesitated for a moment. Lyra noticed Maeve's hesitation and asked, "Are you still worried about Sergio? I think having Clara's taking care of him is enough. Why would you worry?" Maeve was caught off guard by Lyra's insight and couldn't help but laugh.

She was right. Sergio has Clara to care for him. There's no need for her to worry.

Charlie nudged Lyra, hinting for her to shut up.

But Marve quickly spoke, "Let's leave. I don't like staying in the hospital."

In her past life, she died on the operating table, so she had a deep fear of hospitals.

"Alright," Zion agreed and then got up and left the ward alone.
