Before Maya and Aiden could make some sense of what they were hearing, Lucas said, "I feel that something is wrong, it has been more than fifteen minutes since Maya had gone to fill water. Why has she not returned yet? Should I go and check out?"
"No, you stay here, I will go out and check. Even I was wondering the same, where is that girl? Has she decided to disrespect us now that you have no relationship with her?" Mrs. Martin said as she got up to come out.
Both Maya and Aiden panicked at this, Maya left the door handle as both of them rushed to move away from the door.
Maya quickly sat on the seats provided outside the ward whereas Aiden headed inside his father's ward. He wanted to take her inside as well, but Maya motioned him and declined his offer as she told him to hurry inside.
*clack*
The door opened, Mrs. Martin was too busy in scolding Maya inside her head to notice that the door was slightly open.
