Maureen’s eyelashes fluttered as she hurriedly wiped her ear with a couple of tissues and washed the sheets.

She didn’t want Zoe to worry about her condition. After quietly tidying everything up, she found an excuse and said goodbye to Zoe.

Before leaving, she left some of her savings on the nightstand when Zoe wasn’t looking.

“You and Mr. Ramirez are the ones in Karaville she cherishes and loves the most. Please… I’m begging you, be nice to her…”

Geoffrey’s good mood was ruined when he heard Zoe’s sobbing voice.
