In the past three days, Nolan had not messaged nor called Maisie. He had not even appeared before her.Cherie put the lunch box on the table and replied, “The doctor said you’re weak now, and you’re having symptoms of miscarriage. Therefore, you need to recuperate first before you can leave the hospital.”Maisie did not say anything in return.Cherie approached her and led her to the bed. “Mrs. Goldmann, right now, all you need to do is eat something. Come and have some. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.”Maisie did not have a good appetite recently, and she would vomit whenever she consumed something. Stephen was worried about her, so he had searched through the Internet and prepared a healthy meal for her.Even if she really did not have the urge to eat anything, she still forced herself to eat some for the sake of her baby in her womb.Maisie lifted her head to look at Cherie and said, “Thank you for taking care of me and delivering meals for me these days.”“Don’t mention
The old lady’s face lit up with delight. She pulled her phone out and said, “Really? Thank you so much, son.”Helios took a selfie with her, and the old woman bade them farewell after taking the photo together. Helios put the black spectacles frame back on and said, “Phew, that was so close.”Maisie chuckled. “Well, you're the most famous and popular actor after all. I can't believe that you would swagger into the hospital without wearing a mask. Are you not afraid of getting recognized, Mr. Boucher?”Fortunately, the old lady did not pay attention to the entertainment world as often as the young people. Otherwise, he would certainly be busted.If someone recognized him, Maisie was certain that the entire hospital would fall into chaos.Helios smiled and did not say anything.He did not stay here for long. After walking her back to her ward, he said, “I need to go back now. Remember to take care of yourself.”“Alright,” Maisie replied as she nodded.When he was walking away, he
Maisie was stunned. Even if half of the woman’s face was covered by the face mask, the coldness in her gaze and the evil aura she exuded had told Maisie who she was.Rowena! Isn’t she at Stoslo? When did she come back?’“Zee?” Stephen called out to her when he noticed that she did not get into the car and had been looking into the distance.Maisie turned to look at him and said, “I think I saw…”However, by the time she turned her head back, the woman was gone.Stephen looked toward the back again, but there was no one there. She asked, “Who did you see?”Maisie opened her mouth, and the word “nothing” spilled out of her lips.‘Did I see the wrong person?’Rowena should be at Stoslo, and Nolan knew everything she had done, so would she still have the nerves to return?Maisie did not think so. With that thought in mind, she entered the car. Cherie started the engine, and the car started to move forward.However, when Maisie was inside the car, a bad hunch was stirring in her
When the bodyguard saw that Nolan had woken up, he stammered, “Mr… Mr. Goldmann.”Titus frowned deeply and asked, “What happened?”The bodyguard took a look at Quincy and then Nolan. He did not know how he should tell them the news, but he still took a deep breath and said, “Ms. Cherie, Ms. Vanderbilt, and her father… When they were on their way back from the hospital, they ran into… a car accident. When we arrived there, the car was already burning.”Quincy grabbed the collar of his shirt and shouted agitatedly, “What did you say!?”“We… We just received the news too. About an hour ago. All of them, including Ms. Cherie, were in the car…”Quincy froze, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.“Nolan!” Titus returned to his senses only to find that Nolan had gone down from his bed and was rushing out.…At the scene of the accident, the police officers pulled a barricade tape to keep the crowds away and shut down the intersection. All the vehicles had no choice but
Maisie was taken aback. She raised her head up and looked at the man before her. The man had a clean face and a pair of piercing blue eyes. He looked about the same age as Erwin, and he also exuded the same regal aura as Erwin.He was wearing a dark gray striped suit with a peacock blue tie and a tie clip in the shape of a snake.The man squatted down and helped her get to her feet. He looked at her face for a short while and chuckled. “You indeed are her daughter. Both of you are so alike.”“Who are you?” Maisie asked in confusion.“Did Erwin not tell you about me?” The man helped her get back to her bed. He stared at her for a moment and said faintly, “Well, I guess he hasn't told you anything.”He pulled a chair and sat with his legs crossed beside the bed. He put both his hands on his leg and said, “I now go by the name Henry. Erwin is a member of Metropolis, and he’s my most trusted member. I asked him to stay by your mother’s side and protect her.”He paused for a moment an
Nolan picked up the divorce papers that Maisie had signed, and his hand almost crushed the corner that he was holding on to.‘Zee has really left. And I’ll never get to see her again…’All the media outlets were reporting was the incident where Nolan was crying hysterically in front of the car involved in the accident a week ago. The media speculated that Nolan’s wife had died in the car accident, causing quite a commotion among the public.The three children who were kept from the truth rushed back to the Goldmann mansion and came to the room. Waylon stepped up to Nolan and shouted, “Where’s Mommy?”Nolan did not look up and did not respond until Waylon saw the divorce papers on the floor.Titus and Mr. Cheshire came to the door of the room, and they did not know what to say to comfort the three children when they saw them.Waylon flung the divorce papers onto Nolan. “Give us our Mommy back!”Daisie and Colton were petrified by how their elder brother reacted.But judging from
They thought that because Maisie did not understand them, they could rest assured and act presumptuously. Unexpectedly, just as these maids were chit-chatting excitedly, a voice came from behind them. “You’d better shut up before Mr. Henry gets angry.”The maids trembled, and their gossip came to an abrupt end. When they turned around and saw that it was Maggie, the housekeeper, they all bowed their heads respectfully and did not even dare to say another word before they hurried back to their respective workstation.The housekeeper pushed the frame lying on her nasal bridge to adjust her glasses and walked behind Maisie. “Miss, you’re here. Mr. Henry is looking for you.”Maisie turned to look at her. Maggie was in her 40s and the housekeeper of the Hanns Palace. She was dressed meticulously and adequately.Seeing that Maggie was still waiting, Maisie slowly got up and walked up to her. Her beautiful eyes still looked dimmed and lifeless. “Bring me there.”Maggie brought her to the
Strix scoffed. “So, what can you do with your current ability?”Maisie pursed her lips tightly.He then stared at her and said slowly, “Why didn’t Erwin tell you those things? It’s because he knows that you can’t go against those people by yourself. The incident that took place in Stoslo is only their first step.”“You know about that?” Maisie glanced at him, looking slightly surprised.Strix placed his hands on the table and squinted. “There’s nothing in this world that I don’t know, including the matter between you and the Goldmanns.”Maisie’s expression changed slightly. She knew that Erwin might have told him things.‘Uncle Erwin once said that he’s not telling me many things because it’s for my own good, as he couldn’t tell whether I could handle it or not.’What had happened in Stoslo a few months ago made it clear to her that those people were unscrupulous and did not care much about human lives.The incident that she had gotten into was not what it seemed at all.After
