Chapter 1045


    Maya stared as Evan took everything to the second floor. She assumed that her father was extremely


    busy and was going through a rough time, and that got her determined to create even better recipes for


    her father.


    Maya turned around and went back to the kitchen to cook for herself. She put the cooked food aside and


    washed her hands. She was about to chow down when she saw Evan taking her dishes over and eating


    away happily.


    “Daddy, did you eat the meal I made just now?”


    “I finished it!”


    “Huh?”


    Maya was so bbergasted that her eyes bulged as she stared at him. When did daddy be such a


    glutton?


    “Your cooking is getting better, Maya. Looks like I will have to get you a food za and let you manage


    it.”


    “I don’t want to manage a food za, daddy. I want to do something else.”


    “What do you have in mind?”


    “I haven’t decided yet. I’ll let you know once I figure it out.”


    “Okay.”


    Evan chatted with Maya while eating the delicious meal she made. It didn’t take him long before he


    finished eating everything.


    Maya stared at her father as he walked up the stairs. Sheter turned to the empty tes in front of her


    and the empty tes that Evan brought down from the second floor. She couldn’t quite put a finger on it,


    but she felt like something was off.


    Did daddy really eat this much just because it’s tasty?


    Nicole was ecstatic about being able to eat the dishes Maya prepared and peeping at Maya in the house.


    The only thing off was that she was gripped with worry whenever she thought about Evan’s medical


    condition. She would toss and turn at night and had trouble sleeping.


    I wonder if the poison is hurting Evan, and who knows when Wesley will be back to treat Evan? Will Evan


    last long enough until Wesley returns?


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Nicole sat up anxiously. She deliberated for a long time before she decided to peek at Evan and see if he


    was asleep. She would find an opportunity to secretly check his pulse. That would give me a better


    understanding of how his physical condition is.


    Nicole snuck to Evan’s room and ced her ear against his door. She listened for a while, but she never


    heard anything, so she assumed that Evan was asleep.


    She carefully keyed in the code to the room before she opened the door and entered.


    Maya was walking down the stairs when she saw a figure walking into her father’s room. She found that


    to be strange. That figure seems familiar, but she’s so thin. Does the Imperial Garden have a maid that


    thin?


    Maya couldn’t recall anyone that thin, no matter how hard she tried.


    That got her even more curious. Who was it that snuck into daddy’s room?


    Maya immediately rushed to Evan’s room and tried to listen.


    At that moment, Nicole was watching Evan sleep. His breathing was even, and it was obvious that he


    was sleeping soundly. That got Nicole to sigh a breath of relief and prompted her to reach out and check


    his pulse.


    Unfortunately, she hadn’t even touched him before someone knocked on the door to the bedroom. In her


    panic, Nicole dashed to the washroom to hide there.


    Evan was woken up by a series of knocks. He opened his eyes and saw a figure rushing into the


    washroom. The knocking on the door persisted.


    “Daddy, are you asleep?” asked Maya.


    “Yeah, is something up?” asked Evan.


    Maya thought about it for a while before replying, “Yeah.”


    Evan got out of his bed and opened the door for Maya. That was when he realized that the passcode


    had been entered and the door was unlocked. He recalled the familiar figure he saw running into the


    washroom and immediately guessed what had happened.


    Evan opened the door and let Maya in. The first thing she did was to scan the ce. It was obvious that


    Maya was searching for something.


    “Maya, it’ste. Why did youe look for me?”


    “Daddy, I-I saw someone entering your room. I don’t recall a maid that thin in the Imperial Garden, and


    that got me worried, so I came in to see if everything is okay. Daddy, where is the person who snuck in?”


    asked Maya curiously when she saw that there was no one in the room.


    Evan knew that the person Maya saw was Nicole, but Nicole had hidden away. It was obvious that Nicole


    didn’t want Maya to see her like that, so Evan lied, “There’s no one in here. I’ve been sleeping soundly


    the entire time, and no one came in.”


    “But I definitely saw… something.”


    Maya recalled the figure she saw earlier. It was as clear as day, and she was certain that she didn’t make


    any mistake.


    However, Evan insisted that no one was around. He even opened the closet in front of Maya to show her


    that no one else was in the room. “See, Maya?” said Evan, “There’s no one else in my room.”
