Maisie gasped and hissed. “You really have done it, Nolan!”After a long while, Maisie started to tidy herself up. Nolan chuckled. He then helped Maisie to put on her clothes and said, “You’re getting better and better, Zee. It seems like I've taught you well.”“Yeah. Do you feel proud?” Maisie said, and her cheek puffed like a pufferfish. This man was getting more and more shameless. He even started to do that thing to her!Seeing that Maisie was starting to put on a show of bad temper, a flicker of affection crossed Nolan's eyes.People said that a woman would only start to become clingy and behave in a spoiled manner when she fell in love with a man, and he did see those criteria in her.He held her in his arms contentedly and said in a low voice, “Alright. I found something today. Rowena knew that my mother was abducted.”Maisie was stunned. “So she didn’t tell your grandfather?”Nolan’s eyes turned cold as he replied, “She didn’t tell anyone, including my grandfather and
Nolan lowered his head, placed his hand on the back of her head, and deepened the kiss. Although this was just a symbol, a myth about the Ferris wheel, he was willing to go along with her.In the end, Maisie's face was flushed from oxygen deprivation after they had finished their long kiss.Nolan rubbed her head and laughed. "It's been so long, and you still don't know how to breathe when you’re kissing?" Maisie blinked her eyes but did not say anything.“It seems like I need to teach you again.” Nolan clasped his fingers on her chin and planted another kiss on her lips.After a while that seemed like an eternity, Maisie pulled herself away from his lips. Her face was red, and she was huffing heavily. When she saw that he was going to kiss her again, she pushed him away and said, “Alright, alright. I already know how.”She was certain that her lips were going to swell up if they continued the kiss. When both of them came down from the Ferris wheel, a six-year-old little boy
Nolan hurriedly came to her side.Maisie was covering the little girl’s wound with her hand. Her countenance was pale as she said, “Nolan, she got separated from her family and is injured. We can’t leave her here.”“I know. Go find a place and hide.”“What about you?” Maisie tugged at him when he stood up. “There are too many of them, and they’re coming for you. You can’t go out just like that. They will kill you!”When she had been in the crowd just now, she had heard that those people were coming to take Nolan’s life.Nolan kissed her and stroked the corner of her eyes with his fingertip. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. Now, go hide and wait for me.”Nolan got up to his feet and went away.Maisie tried to stop him by grabbing his hand but to no avail. The little girl in her arms was crying loudly because of her injuries.Soon, Maisie turned her eyes back to the girl and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen. I’ll get you out of here, okay?”The little girl stopped cry
The masked man fixed his blueish eyes on her body. His blood boiled while his Adam apple bobbed up and down in his throat. Seizing the chance while he was distracted, Maisie moved away from the gun and rose to her feet.‘Bang!’He missed his target.Maisie turned to his back and strangled his neck with her arm, choking him. Her gaze was stern as she asked, "Where is Nolan?"The masked man said something, and Maisie knocked him out cold. She took his gun and continued to run inside.Meanwhile, Nolan had taken down a few masked men. All of them were shot by him and were squirming on the ground in pain. After making quick work of the last masked man, he kicked his gun away when he was reaching for it.His well-pressed suit was torn and wrinkled. There were wounds on his arms and back, and there were beads of sweat dangling off the tip of his hair. He looked like a mess, but at the same time, he looked fierce and ruthless.He stepped on the back of the man’s hand and asked, “Who sen
A sharp gunshot rang, and the bullet landed on Nolan’s back.Maisie was stunned, and then her pupils constricted.Under the lamp, the hard lines on his face softened. The light in his eyes was slowly leaving his irises as he gazed deeply into her eyes. He lifted his hand to stroke her face, and there was a gentle smile tugging at the tip of his lips. “Zee. Don’t worry, I…”He lowered his head, wanting to plant a kiss on her lips. However, he slowly fell down like a marionette with its string cut when he nearly touched her lips. Maisie hurriedly grabbed his body. She realized in surprise that he was shot in the back, and hot tears began to roll from her eyes. Hugging him, she cried, “No, no! Nolan, don’t sleep! I don’t allow you to leave me!”By the time Quincy and Cherie arrived with the police, they were stunned when they saw Maisie was crying with Nolan in her arms.“Mr. Goldmann…”The ambulance scorched down the road at top speed. Maisie sat at the side and cupped Nolan's ha
After seeing her, Erwin said something to the doctor and walked toward her. “Zee, sure enough, you’re here in the hospital.”Maisie smiled bitterly. “Where else can I go if I’m not here?”She then looked at Erwin as soon as she responded. “What did you talk to the doctor about?”Erwin was taken aback for a split second and replied with a smile, “I was just asking him about Mr. Goldmann’s condition.”“Is his condition complicated?” Maisie asked and saw that Erwin did not deny it immediately, so she lowered her eyes, and her voice sounded a little hoarse. “Is his condition grave?”“It’s indeed a little complicated.” Erwin’s expression looked a little complex.If it were just a gunshot wound, it would be great news if Nolan was able to survive it. Unfortunately, Nolan’s situation seemed to be more complicated than a gunshot wound.Maisie was about to say something when she suddenly received a call from her father all the way from Zlokova.She hesitated for a moment before picking
Not only the hotel’s water source at that time, but traces of the virus had also been found in the water sources of other places, so the outbreak of the epidemic had not been a natural disaster but a man-made one.‘If Nolan is really infected, it will prove that my worries are right, and someone out there still hasn’t given up on the research of this genetic virus.’…Maisie returned to the hotel and was stunned when Titus and Quincy came out of the hotel.Titus was angry when he saw her again. “Have you forgotten the promise that you made? Nolan is now hospitalized because of you, are you happy now?”Maisie lowered her head. “I’m sorry…”She could not even say anything to refute him now as Nolan was indeed shot and hospitalized because of her.Titus’ expression looked gloomy. “Nolan is taking huge risks just by being with you. If you really want Nolan to lead a better life, please leave him.”Maisie was astonished. She then asserted, “I can’t leave him.”“Then do you want to
‘But I only want to be by his side. I didn’t want to leave him alone, but I still brought harm to him in the end.’Seeing that she was a little dejected, Cherie placed her hands on Maisie’s shoulders and said seriously, “Maisie, it’s a cowardly act to back down when you’re faced with difficulties. We can only solve them by overcoming them together. So, is it you, Maisie Vanderbilt, the one to be blamed for Mr. Goldmann’s injury?“No, you’re not. Our enemies have always been those people since the beginning of time. So, even if you hadn’t shown up in Mr. Goldmann’s life at all, this crisis would eventually find its way to him. It’s inevitable. “Maisie smiled after listening to Cherie’s words. “I didn’t expect you to be so good at comforting others.”Cherie grinned and scratched her head awkwardly.Maisie walked up to the couch and sat down. “By the way, is Rowena with those people now?”“Yeah, my brother has already gone out to investigate that, but I really didn’t expect Ro… Row
