Titus was probably regretting it.
“Mr. Goldmann?” Quincy saw Nolan standing at the stairs and was surprised.
Had he heard everything?
Nolan slowly walked down the stairs and stopped in front of Maisie, giving her a half-smile. “I thought you
had left.”
Maisie placed the cutlery on the table. “I still have to make breakfast for my son and my son’s father
before I leave.”
Nolan smiled warmly when he heard ‘my son’s father’. “It looks like you’ve made my grandfather lose
sleep and appetite for the next few days.”
Maisie poured a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for Wayion. “I was just being honest, was I
wrong?” Nolan grinned, hugged her while ignoring everyone around, and sniffed her hair. “Mm, that’s
great.”
Maisie saw that everyone was there and pushed him away with her elbow while blushing. “Stop it and
have your breakfast. I need to go back later.”
“Mommy, are you leaving again?”.
Wayion, who was having breakfast, looked a little sad when he heard ‘go back’.
Maisie’s heart shuddered, but she patted his head. “I’m going back to Morwich for a few days. You’ll have
to take care of your father for me for the next few days.”
Wayion nodded, thinking that his mother was just leaving for a few days and not for a long time.
Nolan smiled but mostly because he was helpless.” Are you that worried about me?”
She slowly peeled the shell of the egg off and casually answered, “Yes, I don’t want to come back and
not see you.”
Nolan was surprised and saw that she was worried, so he calmly smiled and said, “That’s not going to
happen.”
Two days later, in Morwich, at Saint Paige…..
A black sedan slowly drove into St. Neil’s Medical University. The maple trees along the way were
burning like fire. The people strolled to enjoy the view and were having a great time.
Morwich’s temperature was very different between day and night compared to Zlokova and Stoslo. Even
when it was already autumn, one could wear short sleeves during the day, but they would need to bundle
up at night.
Morwich’s winters were chilly and long, so stalactites could be seen hanging along the edges of the roof
when it snowed.
“Have you made up your mind, Zee?” Strix turned to look at her. “The experiment will require a lot of your
blood and might not work the first time. Thus, we would need to continue. Repeatedly taking and
injecting blood will be tough on the body.”
Maisie smiled. “I’ll be fine. If it works, there will be a way to control viruses like the sleeper virus in the
future.”
It wasn’t just to save Nolan but for other people as well.
“Do you trust me that much?” Strix let out a long sigh.” Even I don’t trust myself.”
She paused. “Because you couldn’t save my mother?”
Strix clenched his jaw. He didn’t deny it. “She used to trust me a lot too, but I..”
By the time the antibodies had been found, she was already in the late stage, which was equivalent to
the late stages of cancer. It was useless.
How could he think of saving others when he couldn’t even save the woman he loved? That was why
Strix had left the medical field and stopped using the name Strix. He had even gotten someone to
remove all his information from the medical field.
“In Zlokova we have a saying, There can be miracles when you believe’.”
Maisie smiled at him. “Failure is just a step closer toward success. I think Mom took away the antibodies
to prove that you didn’t fail.”
