"Very good... Looks like your stupid plan has really damaged your brain did not it? Pointed a fruit knife at your own husband-to-be. Do you now feel that you are some kind of fearless assassin Nola?!"
Maya was really reluctant to look at Sarah in the eye when she finally dared to scold her again after Evan and his friend were really gone this time. The woman really hurt Maya's ear with all of her insults. Maya frowned clearly. She could not believe Finola could actually endure all this abuse in the past.
Maybe that is one of the girl's strengths among all her weaknesses. Listening to the woman that continue to talk nonsense, Maya was really trying to hold her hand from slashing the woman with the same fruit knife right now.
"Finola! Are you even listening to me?!"
"Then what do you want me to do?"
Sarah stared in disbelief as Maya calmly braved her hand that was about to hit the girl as usual. From the moment the girl regained consciousness, Sarah did find that the girl had suddenly acted like a completely different person. There was no innocent girl who cried easily that Sarah knew since long time ago. This Finola in front of her looked mysteriously dangerous. The girl's look was indifferent, as if she no longer had any fear of her from now on.
"Don't forget that it is us who pays for your treatment right now, you ignorant child! How are you going to pay us after this? We even have to pay for the journalists who are curious about this matter, just because of your stupid decision alone!"
Even though the current Finola does not seem afraid of anyone, Sarah still believes that the girl will still come to her senses if she opens up about this kind of matter. After all, Finola could not change the fact that she had been able to live this long because Sarah still let the girl to live under her roof. But her imagination were quickly broken when Finola remained silent as she kept on expressing her annoyance. The girl was actually enjoying eating the fruit that Sarah kept there just as a sweetener after she knew Evan would come to see Finola beforehand. The girl ate the fruit like she had not eaten anything for years. Sometimes the girl would mutter something in a soft voice, when she happily picked up another fruit from the basket for her to eat.
"Enough Finola! Stop eating like a pig and listen to me now! Because of you-"
"I have paid you enough by not suing you for child abuse this time. Ah, wait. Let's take it from the newest one. What do you think would happen if I reported to Evan that I was forced to get engaged to him because you forced me to do it? And for what, expropriate his property in the future? Or I might as well tell the reporters that I attempted suicide because my own parents tried to sell me to a crippled man who was almost ten years older than myself. Let's see who will be trusted more if I tell everything in these vulnerable times."
Maya cut Sarah's words calmly as she took another fruit from the nearby fruit basket. After finding the memories of 'Finola', Maya was grateful that the headache that was afflicting her head for a moment slowly subsided by itself. Now all that was left was a light throb that Maya could easily endure. Most likely triggered because she had to constantly hear Sarah's shrill voice which was very unpleasant to hear.
This time, Sarah was really speechless because she could not believe what the girl was really saying. Sarah's face, which was covered in make-up, turned bright red with emotions that could explode at any time due to Maya's provocation. The woman pointed at Maya with hatred, even though the woman herself did not dare to berate the girl again because of the threat posed by Maya.
"Look what your father will do if I report this to him!"
In the end, Sarah could only threaten Maya when the woman finally came out of Maya's room with anger welling up in her dark heart. Maya herself, the girl could finally relax a little more after Sarah decided to leave her room on her own accord. Maya with a bored look glanced at the door to her room which was closed harshly by Sarah. If zombies invade this world as well, Maya determined that she will never try to save the woman no matter what.
Speaking of zombies, because of the commotion that had been going on since Maya opened her eyes again, the girl had not had the chance to check what kind of world she was in right now. Maya reluctantly left the fresh fruits she had been snacking on for a long time. The girl went to press the help button, then waited until a nurse came to her room not long after.
"Please come in."
Maya calmly gave permission when someone knocked on her infirmary door. A young nurse entered not long after. The nurse stared in shock at the rest of the room, which looked like it had just been hit by a storm due to the mess Maya had made when she had just woken up earlier.
"Miss, your IV...."
But as a nurse, the nurse first checked Maya's condition before calling a janitor to help her clean up the mess that had just occurred. The young nurse patiently replaced Maya's infusion with a new one, before starting to help the janitor to clean up the mess that Maya had previously made.
"Please forgive me..."
Seeing someone having to suffer because of her actions, Maya immediately apologized to the janitor and nurse who was cleaning her room. At first they thought Maya was just an arrogant rich person who sometimes caused chaos in the hospital. After all, according to the rumors circulating around the hospital, Maya was sent to the hospital because the girl tried to take her own life just because of a trivial matter. Some people even say that Maya is an ignorant child, because even though she knows she is not the daughter of a legal wife, she always causes trouble for her family.
But seeing Maya's sincere guilty face, it just seems impossible that the girl who is worried about them even though it's their job is a girl who dares to try to kill her own life just because of a trivial matter. The nurse and janitor smiled as they finished cleaning Maya's room. Faced with polite patients, they subconsciously begin to behave more politely in a sincere manner later on.
"It is okay. Are you all right? Want me to bring you something?" said the nurse in a friendly voice. In the nurse's eyes, maybe Maya was only frustrated because even after her attempted suicide, there was still no one in her family who wanted to accompany her in this spacious ward. Slowly the nurse began to sympathize with Maya, especially when Maya, who was still pale, but had to do many things alone in the room.
People say the girl's family always treat their child well. But the nurse started to change her mind now, after she saw Maya alone in the big room.
Even if the girl did try to take her life over a trivial matter, leaving her alone after what she would been through would still not be the right thing to do. The nurse changed her sympathy to anger, which was shown to Finola's family who had always been considered good so far.
On the other hand, after hearing the nurse's offer, Maya's eyes immediately widened up as she was able to quickly decide what she wanted. "Can I ask for... Newspaper? If there is, I want the one that just came out today. Then, can I turn on the television? I can not find the remote for a while," Maya informed.
The nurse smiled after hearing Maya's request. "Of course Miss. I will try to bring you the latest newspaper the security guard at this hospital might have. Then... The remote for this room's television is usually in the drawer. Let me get it for you, Miss," she said as she was about to walk to where she intended.
But Maya hastily stopped him. "It is fine. I can take it myself. I have troubled you enough," she said. At first the nurse slightly disagreed with it. After all, Maya is still one of the VIP patients in the hospital. But after seeing that the girl did not seem to have a problem for just strolling around her room, she finally gave in and went out along with the janitor who brought along traces of the mess that Maya had caused earlier.
"Please call me if there is anything Miss," she reminded once again before she leaving the room. Maya nodded obediently to the nurse. She was completely unfamiliar with this strange world. Where patients seem to be treated so special until Maya does not feel she can get used to it.
