Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316 

The warmth of sticky blood, the chill of the surgical knife, and the sharp scent of disinfectant–Maeve felt as though she was reliving her own 

death. 

“Did you have a nightmare?” It was Zion’s deep voice. Maeve realized that she had been leaning against his shoulder. 

“I fell asleep…” Maeve’s eyes felt heavy with exhaustion. 

Philip’s surgery wasn’t over yet. Zion said calmly, “I’ll take you home. My people will still be here keeping watch.” 

Maeve shook her head, “I’m afraid that something will happen to Uncle Phil.” 

Philip was her only family left in the world. 

Zion lightly tapped Maeve on the forehead. She rubbed her head and asked, “Why did you hit me 

“Go home and rest. I’ll bring you back early in the morning.” 

“Bur—” 

“Staying here won’t help. Besides, after the surgery, Mr. Scott will need to rest too,” 

“But-” 

“No buts “Zio 

Zion’s tone was firm, but Maeve knew that he was being as gentle as he could be. “Fine… Let’s go,” 

Maeve got into the car with Zion. However, she noticed that they weren’t heading to her house but to Zion’s “I can go back to my own place,” she said. 

“My place is closer to the hospital. It’ll be easier to go back there in the morning,” Zion replied with a casual excuse. 

Maeve didn’t argue with him. She was too tired to speak, so she just leaned back and closed her eyes to take a brief nap. 

After some time, Maeve was jolted awake by a buzzing sound. She opened her eyes to see Zion’s face close to hers. Instinctively, she tried to move backward, but Zion simply unbuckled her seatbelt and returned to his seat. 

“Your phone,” Zion reminded her in a low voice. 

Maeve then realized that her phone was ringing. She pulled it out and saw that it was Zayla calling. 

She answered, “What’s 

up?” 

“Ms. Scott, Mr. James has been taken away!” 

“What?” 

Maeve thought that she had misheard her until Zayla repeated, “Mr. James has been taken away by Mr. Brooks!” 

Maeve froze. “Sergio Brooks?“. 

“Yes, Mr. Brooks” men overpowered ours outside Scott Manor. Mr. Brooks stormed in and found Mr. James in the basement. Then, he dragged Mr. James out to a car, and they left after that.
