Never See You Again

Cecilia was scared by Maeve's gaze, so she could only lower her head and hurriedly leave the bedroom.

her. With that glance,

When Cecilia reached downstairs, Sergio had already finished his conversation with Hailey, who cast a deep glance at her. With that glance,- Cecilia sensed Hailey's disapproval. Was what Maeve said true? Had Hailey seen through all her tricks but had chosen not to expose her directly?

Upstairs, Sergio opened the door and heard the sound of water running in the bathroom.

He glanced at the untouched first aid kit before opening it to retrieve the medicine.

A while later, the bathroom door opened, and Maeve stepped out. Her bathrobe perfectly outlined her figure, and droplets of water clung to

her hair.

Maeve frowned slightly. She hadn't heard Sergio enter. She had expected him and Hailey to talk for a while longer, so she hadn't anticipated Sergio's quick arrival in the room. Observing Maeve's current state, Sergio pursed his lips. "Let me apply the medication for you."

Maeve's wound had stopped bleeding. It was merely a scratch, and it was nothing serious.

She sat somewhat awkwardly beside Sergio as he carefully applied the medication to her wound, their proximity almost allowing them to hear each other's breaths. "Are you done?" Maeve's voice was cold and calm.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Sergio then retrieved a bandage from the first aid kit and applied it to Maeve's wound.

"All done," he said..

Upon hearing this, Maeve stood up and put some distance between herself and Sergio. Sergio sensed Maeve's deliberate distancing and felt a sense of emptiness inside. After a while, Sergio spoke softly, "Will you accept me?"

Maeve responded nonchalantly, "What's this? Did you lose your confidence? Don't forget. I'd already warned you back then, but you didn't listen to me."

She had already told Sergio that it was impossible for anything to happen between them. She had also made it clear to Sergio that no matter what he did, she wouldn't be moved. It was Sergio's lack of belief in her words that had led him to insist on staking his entire fortune on her.

"Yes, I've lost my confidence."

Sergio's face showed a rare bitter smile as he whispered, "I've never lacked confidence before, but with you, I really am lacking."

Maeve averted her gaze and said, "If you're afraid of losing the Brooks Group, I'll give you a chance now to void the bet."

"I'm not afraid of losing that. I'm afraid of losing you," Sergio said.

He looked at Maeve intently. "I know that if I were to give up on this bet, I'll never have another chance, so I won't give up."

"That's foolish of you. Don't wait until you've lost everything to regret it," Maeve said as she got up and moved to lie down on the bed.

The room fell silent, Maeve faintly heard Sergio saying that he had no regrets.

She didn't close her eyes. But she also didn't tell Sergio that no matter what he did, the lost affection would never return.

In her heart, there had long been a rift between her and Sergio. It could never have a resolution.

The next day, Olivia called Maeve early in the morning.

Sergio had already gone to the office, leaving Maeve alone in the bedroom.
