Nolan walked out of the room and noticed them. “Why don’t you go in?”
Maisie held his arm. “We’re just coming to take a look.” Helios noticed them. Yael looked toward the door
and said to Christina, “Let’s go home and let Helios rest.”
Christina nodded.
They walked out of the room, and Yael looked at Barbara, I’ve spoken to your father about your situation.
Don’t worry.” Barbara was surprised but nodded, “Thank you.” After they left Maisie nudged Barbara, “Go
in.” Barbara thought that she should thank Helios, so she walked into the room.
Maisie gently closed the door, and Nolan looked at her and smiled. “What are you up to?”
Maisie looked at him and lowered her voice. “Nothing, I just want them to have a talk.”
He chuckled. “Are you sure you’re not trying to get them closer?” Maisie opened her mouth but didn’t
speak.
Barbara and Helios had been kidnapped together, and he had tried to save her while sacrificing his own
safety. It wouldn’t be too bad if they became a couple.
Nolan knew what was in her mind, so he pointed his finger to her forehead. “Why don’t you start a
matchmaking company?” Maisie raised her eyebrow. “Is Mr. Goldmann going to be an investor?” He
laughed “Saw the chance and took it, huh?” Maisie played with his tie, her eyes twinkling. “Yes, because
Mr. Goldmann loves me so much.”
Nolan hugged her and whispered into her ear, “Alright, I’ll love you more when we’re home.”
In the room…
Helios looked at Barbara, who was silent.” Are… you alright?”
She paused and looked around. “I’m fine.” Then she looked at Helios’ bruised face. ” I’m sorry for getting
you involved in this. You… could have just left me.”
Heliod looked down, looking guilty. “No, I’m the one who should be apologizing.”
She was surprised.
“You saved me in the end, while I.” Helios’ breathing became heavy, his face tense.” Could only watch
while you were taken away.” Barbara was about to say something when he looked up at her. “All this was
because of me. I’ll take responsibility.” Her mind was blank for a few seconds. “You
Helios looked resolute. “I don’t care about that and will not push you away. I know that you’re a victim.”
Barbara slowly reacted, her lips slightly parted. “Are you pitying me?”
Helios paused.
Barbara smiled. “You don’t need to offer yourself to me because you feel guilty. They weren’t going to let
me off easily whether you were there or not.”
Helios frowned and stared at the woman before him. He did pity her, but his heart also ached for her.
Barbara was afraid that he would regret it, so she explained, “They took me away but didn’t do anything
to me because someone saved me.”
Helios was surprised.
She adjusted her gown and looked at him calmly. “You are a great person, but you can’t take
responsibility every time this happens to someone.”
Two days later…
Ryleigh and Maisie came to help Barbara with her discharge procedures. When they were getting the
paperwork done, they bumped into
Ieper wuv
Helios, who was getting discharged too.
Helios had a mask and cap on, and Nina, his assistant, was with him. It was evident that the Bouchers
didn’t know about his discharge.
