Chapter 76
Alexander finally believed Maya a little, she wouldn’t dare to deceive him.
“Is she really sick recently?”
“Yes, at that time I ignored her because I was breaking up with my scumbag boyfriend, luckily Ryan cooked for her every day.”
Maya originally wanted to tell Alexander the truth, but the relationship between the two of them was probably unclear even to Aveline. She didn’t know what kind of consequences revealing the truth would bring to them, so she could only follow Aveline’s decision.
Thinking of Aveline’s pale face during that time, Alexander asked one more question, “What kind of illness did she have?”
Maya’s heart skipped a beat, she couldn’t show any hint of emotion on her face under Alexander’s sharp eyes, “Just a cold.”
“Just a cold?”
“What else could it be? Aveline has always been healthy.”
“That’s true.” Alexander agreed, she pretended to be so weak, probably just to gain his sympathy and prevent divorce.
Having obtained the answer he wanted, Alexander stood up and said, “If you’re interested, you can go to the Sterling Corporation Building to work tomorrow.”
Maya’s eyes lit up, the Sterling Corporation was the real estate division of the Sterling Group. If she could work there, she wouldn’t have to care about anyone’s face!
“Thank you, Mr. Sterling. Mr. Sterling is mighty.”
Watching Alexander leave, Maya caught up and asked, “Mr. Sterling, I haven’t been able to reach Aveline. on the phone, have you seen her?”
Alexander turned to look at her, “What do you think?”
He was
was right here, why would he ask such a silly question?

Refusing To Be His Perfect Replica, I Choose The
Maya scratched her head, Tm sorry for asking such a stupid question, I’m just a little worried about Aveline.”
Alexander ignored her and continued to leave. Maya thought for a while and finally gathered the courage to speak up. “Mr. Sterling, if you really still love her, please treat her well and don’t hurt her anymore. She still has you in her heart.”
Although Alexander had betrayed Aveline, it seemed that he still had some feelings for her. Maya just hoped that Aveline wouldn’t have any regrets in the limited time she had left.
Maya was relieved to know that Alexander wasn’t with Aveline. She probably had her phone on silent mode and was on his way home with Ryan now.
She didn’t know that at this moment, Alexander had locked her in the bathroom and turned off the lights before leaving.
Aveline used to be fearless, but ever since she fell into the water, she watched Alexander leave with Nora. while she held her own belly and was gradually swallowed by darkness.
She was afraid, afraid that her child would leave her.
When she woke up again, she was on the operating table in the hospital, with bright overhead lights shining on her. In pain, she bid farewell to her own child.
So she was afraid of both darkness and overly bright light.
Just like now, the cramped bathroom was filled with cold water. It wasn’t enough to suffocate her, but it reminded her of the day she fell into the water.
She desperately begged for someone to save her.
However, the soundproof walls on the 38th floor drowned out all her voices.
Just like that day, even if she screamed until she lost her voice, it wouldn’t change the outcome.
Aveline’s body had lost all warmth, her voice had long become hoarse. She was numb from the cold, and her voice gradually grew weaker.
“Help, anyone, save me…”
