Chapter 50
Sergio had never been wary of Hailey, who had raised him since childhood.
But Maeve knew about Hailey’s tactics.
In her previous life, Halley had facilitated Maeve and Sergio’s relationship.
Back then, Hailey had slipped something into the red wine without even telling Maeve beforehand.
That was why Maeve intentionally avoided drinking any alcohol earlier.
“Am I overthinking this?”
After a fruitless search, Maeve was filled with confusion.
In the middle of the night, Maeve tossed and turned in bed and faintly heard some noise downstairs.
Ever since Sergio started coming back more frequently, he had fixed up a room for himself. They still slept in separate rooms every night.
Maeve pushed open the door and saw that the kitchen light downstairs was on.
She went downstairs and saw Sergio in just a loose bathrobe, drinking cold water from the refrigerator.

“I’m fine.” Sergio’s voice was filled with restraint. “Get back to your room!”
Upon hearing that, Maeve immediately rushed back to her room.
She wasn’t foolish enough to provoke Sergio at this moment.
“Crack!”
Suddenly, there was a sound of glass shattering downstairs.
Maeve was startled and immediately opened the door, only to see Sergio lying on the floor downstairs, seemingly unable to stand up
“Sergio!”
Maeve ran to him. The floor was covered in shattered glass.
Sergio looked unconscious. Maeve placed her hand on Sergio’s cheek, feeling the burning heat.
The next moment, Sergio grabbed Maeve’s wrist.
Maeve’s heart skipped a beat.
