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 manmade
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 kill him?” Titus’ eyes
were filled
with rage.
Seeing that Maisie opened her mouth but could not utter a single word, Titus added sharply, “Maisie, I
have my reasons when I take issue with you two being together. You are Nolan’s only weakness. How do
you think they got to hurt Nolan? It’s all because of you!
“You’ll kill him, sooner or later, if you continue to stay with him.” This sentence was undoubtedly a critical
hit. It broke her heart as she knew that Nolan could truly sacrifice his life for her.
So, will I really kill Nolan?’
Thinking of this, she could even feel the pain while breathing. Quincy wanted to speak up for Maisie, but
seeing that Titus was furious, he knew that he might annoy him again if he were to do so. At the same
time, Titus would most probably blame this particular explanation on Maisie too after being annoyed.
Thus, he thought about it and decided to wait for Nolan to regain consciousness before he said anything
else.
Titus and Quincy left the scene, and they should be heading to the hospital, while Maisie’s mood became
even worse because of the conversation.
Cherie was waiting for her in the hotel room. She got up and walked toward her when she saw her arrive
at the hotel room. “Maisie, you ‘re back… Have you met Elder Master Goldmann?”
Cherie knew that Titus had come to Stoslo because of the incident.
‘Mr. Goldmann was injured, and Elder Master Goldmann hasn’t been very satisfied with his
granddaughter-in-law. So, he would most probably have blamed Maisie for this whole incident.’
Maisie nodded.
Looking at her dimmed gaze and her dispirited mood. Cherie patted her on the shoulder with a smile and
comforted her. “Well, don’t overthink things, Maisie. Mr. Goldmann has gotten out of the critical condition,
hasn’t he? He’ll definitely wake up soon.”
“Cherie,” Maisie stared at her and asked, “Give it to me straight. Did I really bring harm to Nolan?”
Cherie was astounded for a short second and then said with a smile, “Why would you think so? Maisie,
you’re really overthinking things. Life is full of uncertainties, and nobody can ever predict what will
happen next. Besides, anyone who graduated from the training camp isn’t afraid of death. So, if Mr.
Goldmann is willing to block the shot for you, it means that you’re someone very important to him.”
The more Maisie listened, the more saddened she became. “Yes, he’s willing to give up everything for
me, but it’s also because I’m too important to him that I’ll become the very dagger that others will use to
end him…” ‘After all, he pretended to be indifferent to me in front of the public just to protect me when he
came to Stoslo, while I knew nothing at all. I didn’t know what danger he’d face in Stoslo, and I didn’t
even know that someone else would use me to deal with him.’
