A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 222

Summer stood outside, looking at Maria through the glass window. Maria was wearing an oxygen mask that was connected to tubes. Her eyes blood red, Summer asked the man beside her, "Mr. Xi, what happened to Maria?"

"I'd also like to know what happened to her," he answered.

Maria was fine the last time he saw her, but then she was suddenly sent to the hospital and now lay in the ICU.

He had to admit that this woman was something else, given that she made this happen to herself overnight.

He was really pissed off.

Lawrence called back. James glanced at the caller ID and said to Summer, "I'm going back to the company. Call two nurses to look after her."

"Yes, Mr. Xi."

Before leaving, the man took one last look at the woman inside the ICU.

After entering the elevator, he answered his phone. "What's up?"

"How's Maria doing?" Lawrence had just finished his work and he wasn't able to sleep all night. Judging by the tone of his voice, he was exhausted.

On the other hand, James sounded annoyed. "She's not going to die!" She wasn't allowed to die without his permission.

"James, aren't you wondering why I met Maria while I

was on a mission?" Lawrence asked seriously.

Obviously, James was curious.

But before he could answer, Lawrence continued, "I have reason to believe that Maria works for Norman Shen."

"It's obvious that she works for Norman." James had known about this matter ever since she appeared in public after coming back to H City.

"I mean, it’s apparent that Maria is not as simple as we think she is."

His reminder silenced James.

She was good at fighting. Over and over, people came after her, and yet she was able to destroy the antique at Jonathan's auction. But today, she was lying in the hospital, and her life was hanging by a thread.

Norman employed many assassins. It seemed that the answer was obvious.

"If she's really an assassin trained by Norman, then you must proceed with caution, James." It was widely known that James and Norman were business rivals. If Norman had sent Maria to get close to him, it was possible that she had ulterior motives.

Lawrence used the same tactics by getting close to Maria, in order to gain information about Norman.

James went into his car, clasped the steering wheel, and uttered, "She wouldn't dare!"

If Maria dared to betray him for Norman's sake, then he would dispose of her himself.

"It's fine if you know what you're doing. Anyway, I need to go and get some rest," said Lawrence.

"Alright."

After the call, James lit a cigarette, took a few puffs before starting the engine.

From the very beginning, he knew that Maria had ulterior motives when she approached him.

Had she done it for revenge, then it didn't matter to him.

On the contrary, if she truly did it for Norman's sake, then...

James put out the cigarette, stepped on the gas, and left the hospital.

After that day, he didn't come back to the hospital again. When she was done arranging everything in the hospital, Summer went back to the company.

The following day, James went on a business trip. Two days later, he returned to H City.

Unfortunately, Maria was still in a coma, and there was still no sign of her waking up.

Standing in front of the French window, James immersed in his thoughts. Moments later, Summer knocked on the door and entered. "Mr. Xi, the hospital called and said that Maria has regained consciousness, but..."

Quietly, he looked at her, waiting for her to proceed.
