brought me to the hospital and even paid my hospitalization fees. It was you, right?"
Maisie pursed her lips, her eyes a bit teary as she sat by the bedside, looking at the girl.
"Thank you," the girl said solemnly, tears suddenly streaming down her face.

needed money. I thought we could make a fair deal, each of us getting what we needed, but I... I fell in love with
him."
A thunderous roar echoed in Maisie's mind, and her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated. Her temple throbbed with
pain.

"Ms. Squire, you're here!"

Maisie was taken aback. "Why are you here?"
"Mr. Quimby has a friend at this hospital, and his friend saw you here," one of them explained in a low voice. "Mr.
Quimby is rushing over. He will be here soon."
Maisie furrowed her brows. She feared this might disturb the girl's rest, so she stepped out.
"Ms. Squire, are you okay?" A subordinate looked at her nervously.
"I'm fine, it's the girl inside," Maisie said with concern. "Bring her some food and necessities. She... She's alone and

"I'm sorry," Maisie whispered. "Did I scare you? I just happened to come across a pregnant woman in need of

"No." Feeling tired, Maisie closed her eyes, leaning into his embrace. "Daniel, my head... It hurts a lot. I want to
sleep. Can you stay with me?"
"Of course." Daniel smiled, agreeing gladly.
He lay down beside her, stroking her long hair and patting her back as though he was soothing a child to sleep.
However, Maisie's sleep was restless.
Daniel got out of bed carefully and walked to the balcony to call his subordinate.
"Mr. Quimby, we followed your orders and have been guarding the hospital all along."
"Okay." His deep voice resonated. "Find anything?"
"The pregnant woman... has been transferred to another hospital, a private one. Our people have been at the
hospital's entrance and they spotted a car of the Quimby family."
