?Chapter 1056:


    Maia kept practicing all through the night.


    Lenny didn’t even notice when he drifted off. The next thing he knew, sunlight poured through the window, and Maia was still at it.


    “Maia, stop right now!” he rushed in, rmed. “Neurosurgery isn’t a game. Doing a few extra drills won’t automatically make you better. You need steady practice and time to grow. Go home and rest! Once you’ve recovered, we can pick this up,” he said firmly, gently leading her out of the hospital.


    Once outside, Maia spotted a café and ordered a cup of coffee to clear her head.


    She hesitated to go home, fearing that she might interrupt Chris, and decided a short nap at the office would be better.


    Before long, Maia reached MCN.


    The moment she walked into the office space, Pattie’s sharp voice cut through the air.


    “A charity g? Hosted by Cooper Group? Thanks, but I’m not interested, and Maia isn’t either!” she snapped. “And if you’re not here to discuss business with MCN, don’t bothering back!”


    Maia caught the sound of Pattie’s voice and her brows furrowed, yet she didn’t hesitate. She quickened her steps and pushed open the reception room door. At that exact moment, Raegan was heading toward the entrance, and the two nearly collided.


    Fortunately, Maia halted just in time.


    For a brief second, their gazes locked.


    The sight of Raegan inside MCN startled Maia, though she kept her reaction in check. Before she could speak, Raegan’s lips curved into a warm smile, the kind one might offer an old acquaintance. “Maia, it’s only been a few days, but you look much more radiant.”<fnaee1> Latest content published on find?novel</fnaee1>


    Her voice carried a gentle lilt, and her manner radiated friendliness, as if she truly felt happy for Maia’s vigor.


    With no change in her expression, Maia answered tly, “You too.”

    Before the exchange could continue, Pattie rushed forward. She clutched Maia’s arm tightly and pulled her to her side, making her protectiveness and hostility in.


    “Don’t bother with her, Maia.” Pattie’s re cut toward Raegan, and her words carried open disdain. “She showed up first thing in the morning, demanding to see you. How shameless! Other than the Morgan family, we ought to ban every single person from Cooper Group.”


    In response, Raegan lifted her hands with an exaggerated shrug, her expression feigning innocence. “Ms. Miller, shouldn’t you save those remarks until I’ve left?” Her tone remained soft. “It seems Cooper Group has been greatly misunderstood.”


    “I said it right in front of you deliberately!” Pattie shot back with a sneer, her stare cutting colder than before. “Don’t you have even a shred of self-awareness? I already asked you to leave. So get out of my sight immediately. Stop lingering here without shame, unless you’d prefer I call security to drag you away.”


    The moment those words left her lips, she motioned to the staff waiting by the door. “Well? What are you standing there for? Escort her out!”
