The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008 Seeing her long-lost smile

The sudden shout made Mavis jump, and the knife on her wrist almost cut through her delicate skin.
Anthony grabbed the knife quickly, and threw it far away from the door.
The bodyguards heard the movement and cautiously looked around.
Anthony ordered sharply, "From now on, no sharp knives are allowed in Mrs. Callahan's ward."
"Yes."
The bodyguard quickly picked up the knife on the ground.
Mavis didn't say a word, but looked down at Anthony's palm, because Anthony's hand was scratched by the blade with a shallow blood mark when he rushed up to grab it just now.
Anthony turned his attention back to her and asked gently, "Why did you take the knife just now? What do you want to do?"
She deliberately said, "It's boring to be alone. Just play casually. It has something to do with you."
"As your legal husband, of course I have the right to know your every move."
Mavis replied very bluntly, "Yes, you have the right to know, but you can't use this reason to restrict my freedom and confiscate my mobile phone."
In this matter, Anthony was wrong.
"I just want you to have a baby with peace of mind, and it won't harm you."
Mavis gave him a cold look, didn't bother to talk to him, but turned and went back to the bed.
Anthony glanced at the knife wound on his palm, held his palm indifferently, covered it, and then sat down beside Mavis' bed.
Lyra's words from yesterday seemed to still be echoing in his ears, and the doctor's diagnosis of prenatal depression was also lingering in his mind.
Anthony was guilty.
He restrained the unnaturalness on his handsome face, and asked Mavis something nonchalantly.
"Never heard you mention your family. Are they... okay?"
Mavis was expressionless and her answer was concise, "Very good."
"When we married, in order to get the needed materials, I investigated your family and sent people to Teflayria. Do you remember?"
Mavis couldn't figure out what he wanted to say, so she didn't talk to him.
He continued on his own. "You have a younger brother. Your father looks up to men and down on women and is an alcoholic. Whether he is drunk or not, whenever he encounters troubles, he likes to beat your mother. She's in dire straits..."
"What are you trying to explain?" Mavis interrupted him with a cold face when the old scars and such an ugly childhood experience were uncovered. Obviously, she was a little unhappy.
"I want to say, if you are also worried about your mother, why don't I find a way to divorce them and bring her to Crana, and she can take care of you."
"Don't bother."
She refused flatly.
It was not that she didn't feel sorry for her mother, but that she didn't want to owe Anthony favors.
Her father and younger brother were blood-sucking moths. Once Anthony meddled in her family affairs, he will definitely be blackmailed by his father and younger brother and pay a lot of money.
Moreover, Anthony offered to send her mother here, and Mavis always felt that he had a conspiracy.
Now he can lock her up and threaten her by saying that he will send the baby away, then when her mother came, he can also hide her mother, so as to restrain her and threaten her to continue to obey.
Her mother just jumped from one fire pit to another.
Anthony was puzzled. "Why don't you want to? You have been in Crana for five or six years, and you don't miss her?"
"She has her own life, and she is already old and has never been abroad. She may get sick when she comes here, so don't torture her."
"I don't mean to torture her. I mean..."
Mavis didn't want to hear it, so she lifted the quilt, lay down on the bed, and turned her back on it.
With an indifferent face, she looked like she rejected him thousands of miles away.
However, Anthony suddenly mentioned her parents, which made her pay attention to this again.
Definitely gotta get her mother out of that fire pit.
Anthony was unreliable, but Lyra was not...
She was thinking about it, and Anthony was still saying, "The doctor suggested that you must have someone around you to take care of you 24 hours a day. I will arrange for Kane to come over, or find you a female nursing worker, so that she can talk to you every day, go out relaxing and exercising?"
Mavis's tone became colder, "Isn't it enough to watch me by the two bodyguards outside? You need to find someone to follow me, and follow me when I go to the bathroom?"
"Mavis, that's not what I meant."
"That's what I understand."
Anthony was speechless for a while. Thinking about her depression, he continued to say softly, "I am doing it for your own good, so I must arrange someone to accompany you."
"Well, as a Valentine's Day gift in a few days, if you don't like Kane or nursing workers, I'll let you choose. Who do you want to accompany you?"
Mavis's eyes finally brightened, "I can choose anyone?"
Anthony emphasized, "Except for male friends, as long as you really want, you can choose anyone. I will find a way to get you."
"Then I choose... Ella."
Ella was the daughter of the owner of the manor. Her family was fairly wealthy, and she was a native of Delta Union.
If he could really let her come over, then she would have another helper in her plan to leave, and Anthony would not dare to do anything to Ella in Delta Union.
The thought in her heart became more and more firm, and there was a trace of hope in her eyes.
Anthony saw that she was very excited, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will call her over within three days, and ask her to take care of you at three times the nursing worker's salary until you give birth."
This was the best news she had heard in days, and Mavis was dying of joy.
"Thanks."
With a simple word, Anthony was stunned.
It had been a long time since Mavis thanked him in such a peaceful tone.
Not only that, Mavis also smiled, and the happiness in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
Anthony's heart skipped a beat.
He leaned over slowly and kissed her forehead lightly, "You rest for a while. I'll deal with this matter now."
She nodded and watched Anthony leave the ward.
When the door of the ward was closed again, she immediately sat up and looked towards the door. Her whole heart was jumping for joy.
Lyra asked her to pretend to be depressed, and no matter what questions the psychiatrist asked, she had to answer negatively.
Unexpectedly, because of the diagnosis of depression, Ella could be brought here.
Her admiration for Lyra rose to another level.
...
Anthony's work efficiency was very fast. When Ella heard that she was going to take care of Mavis who was hospitalized due to illness, she didn't hesitate at all. She wished she could put a rocket on her back and fly to Mavis immediately.
The next morning, as soon as Mavis woke up, she saw Ella crying.
"My miserable Mavis, you've been haggard a lot recently, and your eyes don't look bright. I feel so distressed!"
Ella touched Mavis's face, full of melancholy.
Mavis followed with red eyes, "How are you recently?"
"I'm fine. I'm just worried about you, but I don't know which hospital you are in, so I can't find any news about you after searching everywhere. I'm really anxious to death."
The two seemed to be reunited after a long absence, chatting very excitedly.
Anthony stood by the door not far away and listened to their chat for a while.
He saw Mavis's smile again.
This feeling was very comfortable.
He tactfully turned around and left, leaving the two girls to chat alone for a while.
As soon as he left, Mavis immediately asked Ella for a cell phone.
Fearing that there would be monitors in the ward, she could only type in the memo on Ella's mobile phone to show to Ella.
[Ella, I need you, help me.]
