Mistaking The CEO For A Gigolo Chapter 1996
Chapter 1996 Putting On An Act
Evan couldn’t be bothered to answer Mabel, and neither could the rest of the Seet family. After giving
Nina and Maya a few more reminders, Nicole promptly left with Evan and Davin.
The only ones left in the ward were Nina, Maya, and the Simpson family.
Having recalled what Nichs had told her earlier, Mabel began acting the part of the loving mother.
She walked to Wilbur’s bed as tears streamed down her face. “Oh, Wilbur, you’re such a good and
loyal man. You love Maya so much you’d even risk your life for her.”
Momentster, she turned her attention to Maya. “Maya, it isn’t easy to find someone as fiercely loyal
as Wilbur, and I hope you’ll always love and cherish him. I want nothing more than for the two of you to
live happily ever after.”
Mabel’s words had sessfully struck a chord with Rodney.
He, too, couldn’t wait for Maya and Wilbur’s rtionship to blossom so he could ride on the Seet
family’s coattails.
“There, there, don’t cry, Mom. Wilbur will wake up soon enough,” Nichsforted.
“Nic, when your brother wakes up, promise me you’ll take good care of him. He’s a man, so there’ll be
times when it won’t be convenient for Maya to help him. You have to step in then!”
“I will! You have my word!”
Maya felt guilty and heartbroken as she continued to gaze at Wilbur. If I had given Wilbur a heads-up
before dealing with Janice, none of this would’ve happened! It’s all my fault for being so careless. I
shouldn’t have neglected his feelings!
Realizing how glum Maya looked, Nina patted herfortingly on the shoulder. Meanwhile, Mable had
doubled down on her act and started wailing even louder.
“Mrs. Simpson, since Wilbur’s still in aa, don’t you think you should keep it down?” Nina said as
she turned to Mabel. “If you really must cry, perhaps you could do it outside? I know you’re
heartbroken, but let’s spare a thought for Wilbur.”
Mabel gave the suggestion some thought but eventually decided against it. After all, what was the point
of crying outside the ward if Rodney didn’t get to see it? “You’re right. I should’ve been more
considerate,” Mabel replied, quickly wiping her tears away. “I won’t cry or say anything else anymore.
I’ll hold it in for Wil’s sake.”
Rodney smiled and gave her an assuring pat on the shoulder. “All right, I’ll leave Wilbur in your care. I
have to get back to the office.”
“Oh, go on then. Don’t worry. We’ll be here with Wilbur. I’ll call you once he wakes up.”
“Okay.”
After Rodney had left the ward, Mabel and Nichs looked a lot less sad as they settled into their
seats. Maya, however, stayed by Wilbur’s side, silently praying for his quick recovery.
Half an hourter, her prayers came true.
“Wilbur, you’re awake?” Maya eximed joyfully.
s, Wilbur merely stared at her without any sign of recognition.
“Wilbur, how are you feeling? Are you hurting anywhere?” Maya added.
“Who are you?”
Maya froze in her tracks at Wilbur’s unexpected reaction. What’s he talking about? What’s going on?
By then, Mabel and Nichs had also rushed to the bed to check on Wilbur.
“Wil, how are you feeling? Is there any pain or difort?”
“Hey, Wilbur, good to see you’ve woken up. How do you feel now?”
Although Mabel and Nichs had their eyes glued on Wilbur, Nichs, especially, felt a nagging
worry. I wonder if those people did a good job. What if Wilbur—
Wilbur suddenly interrupted Nichs’ thoughts, “Who are you guys?”
“W-Wilbur, do you not remember who we are?” Nichs cautiously asked.
Before anyone could react, Wilbur bolted upright in bed and nced around like a deer caught in the
headlights. “Who are all of you? What is this ce?” he wailed. “I want to go home! I want to go home!”
The more Mabel scrutinized Wilbur, the more she found his expression and behavior abnormal.
Maya was clearly just as shocked.
