As to why they had only tied up Jones, it was probably because of his family background. He was the only son in his family, unlike Adrian.The doctor walked out of the ward when Maisie asked, “How’s Mr. Smith?”The doctor smiled. “He was lucky to get here in time, and he didn’t go into hemorrhagic shock. I gave him stitches, and he just needs to rest for a few days.”Maisie walked into the room. Jones was lying in bed as he looked back at her. “Thanks.”“Don’t mention it.” Maisie stood next to the bed. “When we met back in Luxella, I asked about Ms. Reynolds and your uncle. Were you trying to help your uncle keep a secret?”He had avoided the topic because he wanted to keep it a secret. Jones paused and smiled, looking pale. “My uncle didn’t work with Roger. He was a fan of experiments. How do I put this? He had been obsessed with his own experiments and ignored the outside world and the objections of his family.”“So he left your family?” Maisie had heard Nolan mention that so
Nolan closed his eyes and scoffed. “What happens after we get a divorce?”He opened his eyes while looking cold. “I should accept Sue?”Titus paused. Even though Sue had snatched the vaccine from Strix, she had done that to save Nolan. If they hadn’t switched the vaccines, Nolan wouldn't be in such a dangerous predicament. Titus didn’t fully trust Sue either, so he wouldn’t try to push them together. “Any woman other than Maisie would work.”Nolan smiled, but he looked more sinister. “It’s been three years, but you still like to interfere in my affairs.”Titus growled, “I’m your grandfather, and I’m doing this for your own good. Even if what happened three years ago wasn’t her fault, without her, you wouldn't have been infected and fallen into their trap!”He knew that Maisie was innocent, but Nolan had almost lost his life ever since meeting her. He felt sorry for Maisie about the accident, but they should never have been together. They shouldn’t still be in contact after the
Seeing that the man in the bed wasn’t reacting, she sat at the edge of the bed and touched his cold hand. “Nolan, you can’t die. I really didn’t mean to hurt you. I just wanted to save you.”Sue’s eyes welled up. Although she had only spent a short time with Nolan, even if it was as Sue, she knew that he didn’t hate ‘Sue’, and that was a good start. She finally had a chance, but why couldn’t she save him?“I’m sorry, Nolan. It was my fault. It was all because of Maisie. She wanted to frame me and switch out the vaccine. I really didn’t know that it would have such a huge effect on you, Nolan. I really don’t want you to die…”Sue’s hand touched his face. “What are you doing?”A sudden voice came from outside, startling Sue. She turned around and saw Maisie standing at the door, staring back.Sue looked at Nolan and stood up with a stoic expression. “You switched out the vaccines and caused this. How could you still show your face here?”Maisie slowly said, “You betrayed Mr. Ke
‘I’m Sue Reynolds!’Sue kept saying the name in her heart, again and again, telling herself that she was Sue Reynolds.Sue turned her head around and met Maisie’s gaze. She said with a smile on her face, “I’m sorry, but I have no idea who this is. Although I don't know what prejudice you have against me, what is the purpose of you doing this to me? I just want to tell you that I want the best for Mr. Goldmann—”A slap landed on Sue’s face, causing her to turn her head sideways. She was stunned for a short while, and then she hissed angrily. “How dare you slap me!?”a“You want the best for him? Hah, please don’t make me laugh!” Maisie said as she rubbed her wrist. Then, she looked at Sue, whose face was clouded with a paroxysm of anger, shock, and ruthlessness. “What? Don’t give me that face.”Sue raised her arm as she wanted to slap Maisie back. Maisie just stood there and looked at her straight. Before Sue’s hand could reach Maisie’s face, Saydie grabbed her arm and pinned her on
Maisie’s face sank. She said, “I remember I gave you a chance to admit it, right?”Rowena was stumped. Maisie rose to her feet and stopped in front of Rowena. She looked down at her and continued. “Rowena, I knew you didn’t want to work for Daniel back then. I gave you a chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Why would I plot against you? It's because you participated in Daniel's plan. You were the one who pulled the trigger. You were the one who kidnapped me and lured Nolan into Daniel's trap. And now you're saying that you truly love him?”Maisie cupped her chin with her hands and said, “If you truly loved Nolan, you wouldn't have put him in danger, nor would you have watched his mother die back then!”Rowena’s pupils constricted, and she felt as if her organs had twisted together.Maisie continued. “Do you know that it's exactly because you refused to save and even hid the information about Nolan's mother that made him lose his mother? So what makes you think that the Goldmanns
Everyone in the ward gasped when they saw what had happened to Rowena.Rowena was lying on the floor in a prostate position, twitching with pain. She raised her head, and under her messy hair was her face that was filled with shock and tears. “Nolan… How could you do this to me?”Rowena couldn’t believe that Nolan was willing to do this to her. He had never done something like this to her before, but at this moment, she saw nothing but ruthlessness, coldness, and mercilessness from his face.“This is just a light punishment considering what you've said,” Nolan said as he glared coldly at her. “I would’ve killed you if I could do it now.”‘Kill me?’Rowena felt a pang in her heart, and it began to constrict violently. Then, she cried out in a frenzied manner, “What’s wrong for me to call her a b*tch? Do you feel upset? Nolan, if it weren't for my grandfather back then, the Goldmanns wouldn't be where you are today!”Rowena got up from the floor awkwardly. Her eyes were bloodshot,
Rowena froze. Suddenly, she cupped her head with her hands and laughed. “You’re here to get your revenge, right, Maisie? You’re here to kill me, right? What can you achieve by killing me?” She stared at her viciously and said, “If you kill me, will those people come back to life? Hahaha, do it then! I won't feel lonely when I have them with me in hell.”Clenching her fist tightly, Maisie turned her head around and looked at her. “Who told you that you have the right to go down there and be with them?”“In other words, you can’t kill me,” Rowena said as she shrugged. There was a manic smile on her face, and she continued in a haughty manner. “Playing some dirty tricks is all you can do. Even if you hate me to the core, you can't even kill me.”Maisie smiled and said, “Why should I get my hands dirty because I hate you?”As she walked closer to Rowena, she said, “Daniel has gotten what he deserves for everything he has done. As for you, it will be a mercy if I kill you, and mercy i
Nolan smiled and grabbed her hand. “I'm not coughing anymore.”Just when Maisie was about to say something, a figure appeared at the door.The newcomer was none other than Erwin. He was wearing a coffee-colored trench coat, making him look even more handsome and regal.“I hope I'm not interrupting you two,” he said.Maisie hurriedly rose to her feet and asked, “Uncle Erwin, how is Mr. Kestner?” As Erwin approached Maisie, he replied, “Adrian is fine. He looks a little bit worn out, but he’s doing fine.”Strix had been very firm in his attitude when he went to get Adrian back from Roger. On the other side, Roger had been worried that Strix would make a big deal out of it, so he had no other choice but to let Adrian go.“Robert was his milk cow while Daniel was his executioner, and Roger has become a lot weaker than he used to be after losing both of them,” Nolan said as he tugged at his blanket. “Although he still has Shawn and Gregory on his side, neither of them can pose a thr
