Pay his medical bills

"Ella Moore?" Riely tried hard to remember who was Ethan taking about.

"Ohhh! I remember! Are you talking about Liam's sister? The one who used to always follow these two around?" Riely asked Ethan with bright eyes, she was already at five months of her pregnancy, her cheeks had turned much more chubbier than before, she looked cute. "But if I am not wrong, she was not in the country since long time, right?"

"Yes, remember, we had even attended her send off party few years back?" Ethan talked with Riely.

Aiden did not want to talk more about Ella, but since she had called him, he decided to talk to her outside and got up.

Ethan, who did not notice any changes in his brother, continued to talk, "Few days ago I had heard from Liam that Ella was going to come back soon, but I did not expect it to be so soon!"

Aiden looked at him with shock, "Liam knew about this!?"

Riely, who really wanted to matchmake Aiden with someone, said with bright eyes, "Aiden, now I remember, weren't you and Ella in same class? She must be of your age as well. Since she has called you herself, why don't you find a chance and go out for dinner with her?"

Aiden did not respond to her as he just looked at the two of them and said, "I will find a chance for a get together for all of us but I don't think what you are thinking is possible sister-in- law.... I will leave now." Saying that Aiden took his coat and left.

As he walked outside, he declined the call by Ella and instead, he called Liam.

...

Amongst her work, Maya checked her phone (again!) to see if Aiden had seen the message she had forwarded.

"!!!! Finally he has seen it!!" She clutched her phone tightly as she waited for some while... "No response? Leave it. I guess I was the only one who found it funny." Maya shrugged, "I kind of over reacted. Anyways... I think I should call Lucas and ask him about his parents."

*Ring- Ring- Ri-*

In just within two rings, Lucas picked up his phone.

"Hello Maya." It seemed as if Lucas had expected that Maya was going to call him as he thought, "It must regarding my mom."

Maya felt weird talking to Lucas like this. It was the first time she was going to talk to him alone about something serious after their relationship had ended.

"Umm yeah.... So I wanted to talk about something, your mother had called me sometime ago. She wanted me to visit your family's house in Capital city." Maya waited for his response.

Lucas smirked, it seemed that his mother had done her job, she was very efficient during such times; when he needed her to be.

But he pretended not to know about it as he said to Maya in fake shock, "Oh. Is that so? Actually I did not tell my mother or anyone in my family about our break- up. If I am not wrong, after our visit to my house, she has finalized everything and is even preparing for our engagement, as in the rings, venue and other stuff."

"What!?" Maya was shocked after hearing this. "Why are you not stopping her!?"

Maya out of all the people, knew it very well that even though after Lucas started working as a director in Supreme Starlight and earned quite a lot of money, his family in Capital city were only middle class people who worked very hard to make their daily ends meet.

Therefore whenever it was really needed, Maya would try her level best to satisfy their needs and support them. Even most of the hospital bills of Mr. Martin; Lucas's father were paid by her. It was the main reason why they had shifted to the Capital city, for better treatment of Mr. Martin.

Them spending so much of money even before both of the families had met, sounded a bit suspicious, but Maya knew that when she had visited Lucas's family house last time, Mrs. Martin was very excited about all this. It felt as if, if Lucas and Maya had not stopped her, both of them would have returned back after being married! Hence, this excitement could be explained.

"How could I stop her from doing all this!" Lucas reasoned with Maya, "It was the first time in her life that she was so happy, how could I tell her that all of it is in vain?!"

Maya found the words of Lucas both, absurd as well as reasonable. "But she is spending so much of money! I think you should tell her before it is too late."

"What if my father gets a shock? I don't think that you would be kind enough to still pay his expensive bills even after we have broken- up."

The way Lucas said it, made Maya feel a bit guilty. She had indeed not thought about all of these things. Although it was Lucas who had made a mistake, his parents had done nothing wrong. "I will make some arrangements for Mr. Martin, you do not need to worry about that."

Seeing that he had accomplished half of his aim, Lucas continued, "No, this will not do! How can I ask you to pay for his bills? Although currently I am facing a lot of problems in the company, I will have to tell them the truth some day."

"I am telling you, I know that the life in Capital city is very expensive. I was the one who had brought your father to the Capital city for better treatment and I was the one who had promised him that I will take care of him, so of course I will! I will compensate your family somehow. You do not need to worry about it."

Maya didn't realize how gullible she was right now. The reason was because she never had a good relationship with her mother, even though it was only for a few years, Mrs. Martin was always very good to her and provided her with the motherly love that she used to yearn for.

Right now she believed that it was still her job to look after someone else's family because once, she had considered them as her own family.

After hearing that Maya was still longing to help in providing for his family and compensate them, Lucas was elated. He said, "I think that both of us should be present when I break this news to my family. So, should we head to the Capital city together? Shall I book the plane tickets?"

Although Maya was a bit emotional right now, she was still in her right mind. "There is no need for that, after all we are not together anymore. I will book my own ticket. We can reach there separately." Maya check her schedule as she said, "I am free next Friday, let's meet then. I will call you after I reach the Capital city, we can then head to your family's house"

"Still so bossy! She only knows how to give orders and never asks for anyone's opinions. Who would like to be with her!?" Lucas thought as he only agreed with her, "Okay... I will let you know about the details of my flight later on."

Lucas, who was blinded by his ego, did not notice that he was in no position to be the superior one.
