Chapter 570
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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtside, neither of them can pose a threat to us.”
Erwin nodded. Shawn was just a businessman, and it wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that he was Roger’s
errand boy. He did not have any family background and was not a noble, so it was easy to get rid of him.
As for Gregory, without Roger’s help, he wouldn’t have been able to become a high-ranking officer in the
government. However, a man’s nature would be revealed when he gained power.
People always said that the grass on the wall would always sway along with the wind. Now that the situation was not
in Roger’s favor, it went without saying that Gregory would not support Roger if he wanted to keep his position.
“I heard that the descendant of the Hathaways has given Roger a large sum of money for him to monopolize the
market of the vaccines, “Erwin said as he looked at Nolan.
Nolan chuckled. “Don’t worry. He isn’t someone who would suffer a loss.”
Erwin lowered his head and smiled. “Roger now owes him a huge amount of money. I wonder how he is going to fill
in the big hole.”
Maisie did not understand what they were talking about at all. When Erwin was leaving, Maisie walked him to the
door.
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Erwin turned his head around and asked, “Zee, after everything is over,
are you going back to Morwich or to Zlokovia with him?”
Maisie was stunned. After a short while, she said, “I think I will go back to Zlokovia. I miss my other two kids.”
Erwin nodded, “That’s fine too.”
Maisie walked back to the ward. However, she heard a conversation from inside before entering the ward.
“You still haven’t told Ms. Vanderbilt that Hernandez deliberately faked his disappearance and is actually dead?”
Nolan squinted his eyes. After a short while, he said, ” I’m worried that she can’t accept it.”
“But she will know about it sooner or later.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Nolan turned around and was stunned when he saw Maisie was standing at the
door. He rose to his feet and called out to her, “Zee.”
Maisie looked at him, her face calm. “Did you already know that?”
The bodyguard exited from the ward, leaving both of them inside. Nolan walked up to Maisie, grabbed her
shoulders, and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Zee. It’s only until very recently that I learned about it.”
Maisie pressed her lips tightly and lowered her head.

continued. “Zee, trust me, this is the only thing I didn’t tell you. I also just found out that your grandfather’s
disappearance was a scheme he set up to confuse those people.”
Maisie’s body was trembling. She buried her head deep in his chest and asked with a shaking voice, “So he’s
already dead, right?” Nolan grabbed her hand tightly, but he did not know how to answer her question. He knew
that she might not be able to accept this outcome.
Maisie pushed him away. There was a sad expression on her face, and her eyes were brimming with tears.” Where
is my grandfather?”
Nolan was stunned. After a long while, he wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes with his fingertip and replied in
a husky voice, “We

can’t find his body. He was already seriously injured on that day when the accident occurred, and he passed away
not long after.”
