Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart

chapter 805 Perhaps It's Hallucination

David was relieved, "Thank god."

He really could not bear any more his mother's cry and scream when she called Maisie to pay medical

bills. In her mother's eyes, Maisie was where she could extract money. Whenever she needed money,

more or less, Maisie was her first choice.

Actually, it was just a small operation. It wouldn't cost much, and there was still medical insurance.

Besides, his salary was rather good in a big city like Riverside City. It wouldn't be a big cost for him

even if there was no medical insurance.

But his mother believed Maisie was going to marry someone sooner or later, and her money would

ultimately become someone else's, thus it would be stupid not to ask her for money.

Every time David heard his mother talk like that, he was much irritated, but no matter how he

persuaded his mother, she would not listen. In fact, his mother even thought David silly. Therefore,

David absolutely did not want his mother to know anything about his illness.

Maisie sat by the bedside, asking, "How do you feel now?"

Despite their mother's preference, they were close all the time.

That David was all alone when he had the surgery tortured Maisie's heart. She even felt sorry for him.

They made a deal to stay here together, settle here together, and work here together so that they could

watch out for each other.

But she left because of a man, leaving him alone, even when he was ill.

It seemed Maisie was a bit irresponsible as a big sister.

"The operation went well, and there's only the recovery thing. I'm always strong, so I suppose we can

get out in three or four days." He was quite optimistic about his condition.

Then he added, "Right. Where is little Ezio?"

Maisie answered honestly, "I brought him with me."

"You what?" David exclaimed, and winced when accidentally pressed the wound.

Maisie said resignedly, "What are you doing? Do you want to get better or not?"

David was too anxious to care for his own pain, "What if Ezra finds out? Don't you know his father was

dying to have a grandson?"

"His father tried to set him up with that Erika Marshall, but somehow they broke up. And now he is

trying to set him up with other women, wishing they could get married instantly so that he could have a

grandchild while he's alive."

"Best be a boy, or his dying-to-have-a-grandson father would not die peacefully."

"And you brought your son here at this critical moment. Are you…"David was too worried to finish his

sentence.

Roman's longing for a grandson was probably something everyone in Riverside city was aware of. It

was quite obvious in his attitude towards Ezra when Roman brought back him, an illegitimate child, in a

high-profile way regardless of the opposition from Mrs. Cantillo, and made Ezra take over the Canuli.

It was quite a pity that Roman's life-long pursuit should be hindered by his own son, who was not

married at this age. Having a grandson was probably impossible for Roman during his lifetime.

But it still depended on his illness. If Roman could hold on for another several year, it would not appear

impossible that Ezra would stop being a prodigal son, settle down, get married, and grant Roman what

he wanted.

Maisie was rather calm, "I cannot bear to stay away with him for so long."

David spread his hands resignedly, "That's exactly why I did not tell you in the first place. I shall recover

whether you come or not."

She insisted, "But I cannot bear to leave you alone."

David said anxiously, "What if they knew you had Ezra's son—"

Maisie interrupted him, "You don't need to worry about me. Focus on yourself."

She paused, "Do you want some water?"

David had to press his lips and swallow what he was about to say. He was not going to let Roman

know that Ezra had already had a son, for Ezra had hurt his sister once. How would David satisfy

Roman by letting him know that secret?

What concerned David was also what concerned Maisie. But she was out of options as long as they

stayed in the apartment. There should be no big deal.

Maisie spent a whole afternoon at the hospital, and was to go home at dusk, "I'm going to make you

some gruel and some light meals while you can have a sleep. If there's anything, call the nurse. Don't

force yourself, alright?"

"Alright," Now that he was ill, he had to listen to his sister.

While praying silently that Maisie and her child were safe in Riverside City without being discovered by

Ezra, and that he could get better soon so that his sister could depart as soon as possible.

When it was almost dark, Ezra showed up at the hospital to visit his father.

Normally, he was not so docile and had been absent since he canceled the marriage with Erika, which

made his father faint.

Plus, with the evidence of Roman and Mrs. Marshall, Roman probably wouldn't like to see Ezra.

But today, Roman called Ezra to come to the hospital. Ezra could figure out his intention without even

thinking about it.

Ezra heard people say his father was finding new women to set him up with. He supposed his father

had already picked someone for him to go blind-date with.

When Ezra entered the hall, the elevator happened to come with people exuding from it.

Suddenly, he seemed to have detected a familiar figure who was wearing a beige coat, a black hat, and

a mask to prevent people from seeing her face. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ezra only caught a glimpse of her back because she was walking as fast as she could.

If he guessed right, it was Maisie.

But at that moment, Ezra was not sure if he was hallucinating or not. He had been having some bad

sleep, for he could not stop thinking about his past with Maisie.

Ezra had no idea that David was in the hospital, otherwise, Ezra could confirm it was Maisie.

As for why Maisie was in a hurry, it was not because she saw Ezra, but because she was eager to see

her son and prepare food for David.

Ezra was not even in her sight.

Maisie had limited attention. And when they were fully focused on her son and David, there's no room

for other things or people.

After a short period of distraction, Ezra went into the elevator and headed to the VIP ward.

The moment he stepped in, his father uttered, "There's something I want you to see."

Ezra glimpsed at his father and found Roman looked good.

Probably being away from his rebellious son had made Roman much sprightly.
