Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 690

"Mr. Tim, your car is so great!" Alexia exclaimed.

When she saw Tim's car, her eyes lit up.

Tim ignored her and said to Maia, "Get in the car."

Maia walked towards the back seat.

"What are you doing? Take the front seat. You should feel honored to have me as your driver."

Tim was somewhat disappointed.

Maia caught a glimpse of Alexia and thought of what she told her just now. She said, "Let Alexia take the front seat. I'll just sit in the back."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would she take a ride with me? I'm not obligated to do that."

Hearing this, Alexia was in a daze.

"Mr. Tim, I want to go to the Phoenix Villa to find my brother. Can you give me a ride?" She asked.

"No. Do you think I'm a cab driver who would give you a ride as long as you beckoned. You may go wherever you want, but I won't give you a ride," Tim said relentlessly.

He didn't show her any respect.

Alexia was a little depressed. But the colder he was to her, the more she wanted to win his heart.

She glared fiercely at Maia. Then she turned around and left on her high heels.

"Come on! What are you waiting for? If Liam changes his mind, you could only cry,"

Tim shouted.

Maia reluctantly settled into the passenger seat.

Alexia stamped her feet angrily as she watched the car driving away.

"Liam, you must think of a way to take Maia away from Tim!" Alexia phoned Liam.

She considered Maia as an eyesore. Even if Maia wasn't the one Tim loved most, she couldn't just stand by and watch Tim treat her so well.

But for Maia, she didn't think Tim treated her well. After getting in the car, she whispered, "I think it's good to sit in the back seat."

"Are you stupid? You are not a child. When you are bullied by others, don't you know how to fight back?"

Maia was taken aback.

She asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? Did that woman threaten you? Look at you. Your expressions completely fail to hide your thoughts, and you even want to pretend to be calm. Aren't you a tigress? Why are you so timid facing Alexia?"

Tim had seen all kinds of women.

He could see through them merely from their eyes.

Looking at Maia's expression, he could tell that she had been picked on.

However, what Tim couldn't figure out was that Maia wasn't a lamb. Why would she yield to her? What had happened?

Hearing Tim's question, Maia sighed and answered, "Mr. Liam is Alexia's brother. What if she makes it hot for us?"

"It's no big deal. If things go smoothly, it would be best. But if not, I could only make it in a tough way. Kill Liam and continue our business."

Maia was shocked as she heard that.

"Are you a gangster?"

"If I were, would you be scared?"

Tim asked directly.

Maia snorted coldly and said, "If you were a gangster, I would be the head. What a joke! Hurry up and drive on!"

Tim was unhappy to be mocked by this little woman, but he didn't argue with her.

After receiving the news from Tim, Lucas immediately made a video call to Nicole.

Nicole was a little worried as she looked at the video request popping up in her monitor.

She took her phone out of the ward and answered the video call.

Lucas noticed the hospital corridor behind Nicole. He asked, "Mommy, where are you? It looks like a hospital."

Nicole hurriedly replied, "Yes, I'm in a hospital. I feel a little out of sorts so I come here to get some medicine."

"Where's Daddy?" Lucas asked.

He didn't even call his name this time.

But Nicole had been taken by anxiety, so she didn't notice that.

"He's also not feeling well and he's resting in the hotel."

"Ask Daddy to give me a video call later," Lucas uttered.

For quite some time Nicole had no idea how to respond.

Finally, she repeated, "Your daddy is having a rest."

"Mommy, I know everything. How is Daddy? Is he seriously injured? Uncle Tim has already told me everything," Lucas related.

Lucas' words fairly knocked Nicole into a cocked hat.

She secretly cursed Tim in her heart.

Though she was furious for Tim spilling the beans, when she saw Lucas' worried eyes, she comforted, "Your daddy has fallen asleep. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to be worried. Relax. We will be back safe and sound."

"I want to see Daddy," Lucas asserted.

Nicole paused. But she knew that Lucas wouldn't let it go until he saw his father was fine.

She nodded and took her phone into the ward, aiming the camera at Samuel.

Lucas looked at Samuel who was sleeping on the bed. He spoke in a low voice, "His flesh fell away."

"Don't worry. I'll help him pick up some weight."

Lucas' respond was only a short silence. He stared at Samuel for a while before saying, "Mommy, you should also take care of yourself. Don't get too tired."

"I know. Don't let Joseph and Zoe know this, okay?"

"Okay."

"Good boy. Take good care of yourself. Mommy and Daddy will go back as soon as possible."

"Alright."

After Nicole ended the video call, she immediately gave Tim a ring. But Tim had predicted that she would call him, so he turned off his phone in advance.

Unable to find Tim, Nicole fell into a rage.

At this moment, Tim and Maia had arrived at the Phoenix Villa.
