Bab 50: Sorry I'm late

Aiden made sure to hide himself well as he watched Lucas leave the place.

"Make sure to come after a few minutes, okay? It maybe a bit suspicious if we return together. I am leaving." Lucas said with concern.

"Yes- yes, carry on. I know what to do, don't worry." the nurse reassured him as she waited for about seven to eight minutes before leaving as well.

Aiden could not decipher the relationship between the two. Soon he also got out of his hiding place. From what he had heard right now, although he did not know about the exact things they were doing, he was sure of one thing, and it was that this family was taking advantage of Maya on a very large scale, and maybe even the hospital was involved in it.

Although he cared very much about Maya, his mind couldn't help but come up with the thought that maybe he should inform Liam about it as well. The hospital belonged to his family after all.

But Aiden decided to get to know more about the situation first. He did not want to think that way, but what if the Moore family was also involved in it some how? Cases of any type of fraud were always serious but when it came to hospitals, it's seriousness increased incredibly.

At the moment, Aiden decided to have a talk with Maya, at least he should give her a heads up, that maybe she was being cheated by not just Lucas but the entire family for their selfish reasons.

...

Lucas had already returned to the ward and now, the family of three were talking.

Maya had just returned, she was carrying a thermos bottle filled with hot water.

She had just opened Mr. Martin's ward door slightly, no one inside noticed that the door was open now. The hospital had good doors and walls which prevented voice from passing through, no matter how loud it was. Still thinking that they could not be heard, the trio laughed loudly.

Maya smiled, she thought and was glad that the tense atmosphere was no longer present. She still genuinely cared about the Martin couple after all. "Now I just have to arrange few things and then I can leave this family peacefully and finally move on-" before Maya could complete her thoughts, they took a screeching turn. Why? Because she heard the next sentences from them, loud and clear.

"Oh god! I can just not believe how long this can be carried on!! Like seriously! I am sure that she will be willing to pay our house expenses if you act a bit more. Did you see her just now? When you had 'fainted' that time-" Mrs. Martin highlighted the word 'fainted' through change of her voice, it could be easily told that she was making a sarcastic joke about it. "-When you had 'fainted' that time, it was done so well that I even thought that your blood pressure had actually gone that low and I panicked!"

Maya could not believe that these words were coming out of the person she regarded as her own mother.

Lucas continued in it, "I know, right!! Even I thought that dad had actually passed out, it was only when he got up in the ambulance and looked as fine as a bull that I understood that it was all fake!!"

Finally, Maya heard the voice of the 'Actor of the Day', "Oh shut up you guys!" Mr. Martin really wanted to stop them but when he thought of the benefits this acting gave him, he cheerfully added, "I could not have done it without you guys."

Maya felt that something was wrong with her ears, "What is going on...?" She said nimbly. Few tears had welled up in her eyes but she looked upwards and blinked them back.

"Oh and Lucas, there is something that has been bugging both your mother as well as me for some while now." Mr. Martin looked at his wife and she also continued, "Yeah, yes." Mrs. Martin nodded, "We wanted to ask about the reason of why you showed your true colors to her so soon."

They were very curious as to why did Lucas play such a plot that he was discovered by Maya that too with her sister.

"I am sure you knew that once you were caught by her, both of yours relationship could not get back at what you had before." Mrs. Martin ranted, she was very angry at Lucas when she got to know what her son had done. Now how could they ask that girl to look after them?

"Yes. To be very honest, if we were not using her, I really liked Maya. She was the perfect daughter in law that our Martin family could have." Lucas's father added.

"Well to tell you the truth, I was getting tired of faking so much in this relationship, like in the beginning, when I did not know that truth about 'that' you know, I really wanted a happy relationship with her."

So much happend in between just seven minutes, Aiden had rushed to see Maya but when he came, he realized that he was late.

As Maya heard Lucas talk about their relationship, she couldn't help but take a step back. She wanted to avoid listening to it. If all of a sudden she did not have someone support her from back, she was sure she might have fallen.

She looked behind her, it was Aiden who provided her the form support she needed at the moment. He whispered to her, "I am so sorry, I am late."
