?Chapter 1015:
“Maia, maybe we ought to get out of Wront. I’m scared those bad folks mighte after you again. Word on the street is that the criminal called Tyrant is still out there, and those working with him have disappeared too…”<fn132e> Readplete version only at F?ndNovel</fn132e>
Her fear made perfect sense. For a regr person, the smartest move would be to pack up and leave. But Maia was far from ordinary.
“It’s alright, Kathie. We’re not going anywhere. I’ll figure out how to bring those people down,” Maia said with firm conviction.
Kathie was about to reply when her eyes caught sight of a tall figure standing quietly behind Maia.
She slowly lifted her gaze and locked eyes with Chris.
Under those deep eyes was a strikingly handsome face.
Kathie’s eyes grew wide in surprise, and she looked at Maia, asking, “Maia… who’s this guy?”
But before Maia could answer, a light seemed to dawn on Kathie’s face. She guessed this man was the reason Maia didn’t want to leave Wront. Apparently, Maia had kept her promise and found herself a boyfriend.
Kathie couldn’t help but admire Maia’s choice.
Not only was the man tall, but he was also incredibly good-looking.
With excitement, Kathie grabbed Chris’ hand and said, “You’re Maia’s boyfriend, right?”
The room suddenly went quiet.
Ethan quickly answered for Maia, “Kathie, he’s not Maia’s boyfriend.”
At that very moment, a faint smile yed on Chris’ lips as he thought to himself that Kathie definitely knew how to spot a good thing.

Right then, Maia reached out and caught Kathie’s arm. “Kathie, I want you to meet him…”
She looked over at Chris briefly, then quickly averted her gaze. “This is Chris Cooper, my bodyguard.”
Thanks to her many years of experience, Kathie instantly grasped what was going on. From Maia’s behavior, it was clear she had some feelings for Chris, her protector.
Still, something was holding them back, a silent wall that kept their rtionship unclear.
Kathie let go of Maia’s arm quickly and gave Chris a warm smile. “Sorry for the mix-up… Please watch over Maia well.”
At the same time, Ethan was clenching his teeth in frustration.
Why did that irritating Chris have to tag along with Maia here?
What if Justiceze got the wrong idea? That would spell trouble!
Ethan was dead set on figuring out how to shake off Chris.
Just then, the medical team walked in and settled Maia right next to Ethan. The room held three hospital beds. From left to right sat Maia, Ethan, and Marisa.
Chris fetched a chair from outside and took a seat between Maia and Ethan. Kathie nced at Chris once more, leaned in a bit, and softly asked, “Young man, you look about Maia’s age. Do you have a girlfriend?” Hearing this, both Ethan and Marisa immediately focused on Chris.
