Maisie did not speak.
Nolan fell a little helpless, “My grandfather was the one who asked her to stay back to take care of me.”
‘Although I didn’t need it!
Maisie smiled. “Your grandfather really cares a lot about you. Strix from Stoslo has managed to control
the virus in your body, and she’s Strix’s apprentice. Ergo, this makes her a great benefactor. Your
grandfather should be breathing on your neck at this very moment, asking you to divorce me sooner and
then marry her, shouldn’t he?”
Nolan slightly frowned as he pinched her nose. “Aren’t you afraid of getting a bad tooth when you can’t
stop being so sour about things?
“Don’t you touch me with the hand that you just used to grab her just minutes ago!” Maisie smacked his
hand off her arm. She took ollense to what had happened as if her belongings had been touched by
someone else. She felt extremely disgusted!
Nolan took her into his arms, and his voice sounded hoarse. “There’s no more room in my heart for
another woman-you have fully occupied every single corner. I’ll cut my hand for you if you don’t believe
me. How does that sound?” “Bloody and disgusting, I don’t want it,” Maisie
muttered.
Nolan rested his chin on the top of her head. “I know that woman approached me on purpose. She fell on
me deliberately just now, so I only went along with her play.”
Listening to his explanation, Maisie sat up from his arms. “You went along with her play? Wouldn’t you
have kissed her if I hadn’t shown
up?”
Nolan pursed his thin lips tightly, squinting at her unreasonable and frivolous quibble.
‘It’s been three years, and my Zee really hasn’t changed at all. She’s still so adorable.
“I was taking a good look at her face.” Nolan sighed helplessly in the end. He was afraid that Saydie
would join his young wife in her quest to demolish the whole hospital if he still chose not 10 explain.
“Take a good look at her face?” Maisie approached him. “Is she the type that attracts you?”
Nolan lifted his fingers to pinch her jaw and kissed her soft, scarlet lips gently while staring at her
affectionately with his amber eyes. “You’re the type that I like.”
Her appearance was the only thing that appeared in the reflection in his eyes.
Maisie accepted his firtatious explanation when she still had the upper hand in the argument and did not
continue to make a fuss out of the situation. “Okay, I heard from Uncle Erwin that someone pretended to
be Strix-”
Nolan interrupted her. “I knew that my little Zee knew Strix.”
The pride in his eyes intensified.
At that moment, Maisie realized she did not seem to have told anyone about her acquaintance with Strix.
She lowered her gaze. “How did you manage to guess that?”
Nolan listed the dark strands hanging on her forehead and tucked them behind her ear. “Your
grandfather told me about your mother’s relationship with Strix, so I figured you’d know Strix.”
“So you already knew that the Strix who gave you the vaccine was an impostor?” Maisie was worried
that he would be deceived-that was why she had rushed back to Stoslo-but it turned out that he had long
been aware!
But now that she was thinking about it, Nolan had indeed never done anything dumb before this. He was
always more sensible and sober than anyone else around.
Nolan nodded. “I just wanted to see who’s the Strix who’s behind all these shenanigans. If he can also
develop the vaccine, he’s obviously not a simple man.”
Maisie leaned into his arms. “If you already knew that he’s an impostor, where did you find the courage
to
inject the vaccine that he gave you?”
Nolan smiled. “I didn’t use it.”
Maisie was surprised by this answer, and Nolan stroked the black hair scattered on her back. “What
you’re seeing now, everything that goes from how I’m seriously ill to how I got hospitalized because of
that, it’s all just a show. I bribed all the employees from the hospital in advance, and the liquid that they
injected into me wasn’t the vaccine but only glucose solution.”
Maisie raised her head to look at him and gave off a coquettish smile. “You’re definitely bright.”
‘He’s managed to deceive everyone, and he’s deceived me successfully too.
Chapter 538
The way Nolan swindles others always makes them fall for his elaborate deceptions and into his traps
unknowingly. They’ll be trapped in an invisible web as soon as they fall into his hands. He’s always a few
steps in front of his opponent, plotting his next move from the shadows while his enemies are coming at
him in broad daylight.’ 2
