Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 724

"When did you come out?"

Tim subconsciously covered the phone with his hands.

When Nicole heard what Tim said, she knew that Maia was beside him.

She stopped talking.

Maia probably didn't expect Tim to turn round and see her. She was shocked and said awkwardly, "It's been a long time, so I come out. You haven't finished yet?"

"I'm done. But I need to have a videoconferencing later."

After saying that, Tim said on the phone, "Let's talk later. I'd like to bide my time."

"Alright."

Nicole hung up.

She wondered whether it was right to be suspicious of Maia or not. All of a sudden, she felt ill at heart.

In Nicole's mind, Maia was a simple person, who would go straight to the point with both her and Tim. Besides, Maia had once risked her life to save Tim. How could such a woman hide her teeth and approach them?

After hanging up, Tim put on a smile and asked Maia, "Are you done eating the apple?"

"What? Well, yes."

Maia paused for a moment before saying, and she looked somewhat absent-minded.

"I need to go to the bathroom. You can go back and wait for me."

"Alright."

Given Tim wanted to go to the bathroom, Maia had no choice but to return to the ward.

Tim slightly frowned, with a complicated feeling appeared in his eyes.

Nicole wouldn't lie to him.

By comparison, Tim preferred to believe Nicole. It wasn't because he disliked Maia. Since she had sacrificed her life to save him, Tim would always be grateful to her. However, Nicole's unfinished words aroused his suspicion.

After entering the bathroom, Tim marked Nicole's phone number as Chuck's.

He sat on the toilet and called Nicole back.

"What do you want to tell me about Maia?"

"It's not a big issue. I'm just curious. Do you know that Maia and Zama are from the same town?"

"What?"

Tim was surprised.

"Where did you hear that?"

"I met Maia's younger brother in Zama's town. His name is Trevin. According to him, everyone in the town knows medical skills and is able to protect themselves. With Trevin's help, I've recovered. I really appreciate him. However, I begin to wonder why Maia failed to protect her vital organ when Alexia asked others to hit her if she had medical knowledge."

Nicole paused for a moment before continuing, "Tim, I'm not suspicious of her. I just find it strange. Perhaps I think too much, and Maia is innocent. She's kind, pure and direct. I probably suffer from persecutory delusion. Forget it."

As she spoke, Nicole couldn't help but doubt herself.

Tim frowned and whispered, "Since Alexia is still alive, I'll go to her and find out."

"Don't! I might worry too much. I have thought it over and realize that I probably have been overthinking it."

Nicole found herself in a state of extreme nervousness these days.

"Don't worry. I'm just checking."

After finishing talking with Nicole, Tim kept smoking in the bathroom rather than leaving. He didn't want to doubt Maia. After all, she had saved him.

If Maia was injured because of making a genuine attempt to save him, he would definitely take care of her for the rest of her life. However, if she had other intentions, it probably would be unbearable for Tim.

Tim stayed in the bathroom for a long time before coming out.

As soon as he entered the ward, the telltale smell of cigarettes greeted Maia.

"Did you smoke?"

"Well, it's been a few days since I smoked last time. I failed to control myself. To my surprise, you have sensitive nostrils."

Tim said with a smile, "What do you want to eat? I'll go to buy you some food."

As Tim behaved as same as before, Maia smiled and said, "I don't mind. Buy some fruit. There's no taste in the mouth."

"Alright."

Putting his phone on the table, Tim went to wear his coat and then left.

Maia looked at Tim's phone on the table and had inner struggle.

She waited for a while before looking around. After confirming she was alone in the ward, she quickly took the phone.

Tim had once been inconvenient to connect the phone. Thus, he had asked Maia to help him turn on the phone by telling her the password.

Maia didn't feel relaxed until after turning on Tim's phone with the password.

She quickly checked his phone records and breathed a sigh of relief when seeing the latest call came from Chuck, Tim's secretary.

After checking, Maia put the phone back on the table.

However, she did not expect that Tim was standing outside the door when she did so. Tim was disappointed.

If Maia was innocent, why would she be anxious to check his phone records?

If she didn't feel guilty, why would she peep at his phone?

Tim left with a heavy heart.

He went to the fruit stall to buy some fruit and then came back.

Maia lay in bed and was on her cell phone. When she saw Tim coming back, she wore a smile and asked, "Why did it take so long?"
