As for Thomas, when Maisie fought with those burly men, he fainted due to his injuries.

Thomas was severely injured when he was hit by the base bat.

Maisie was not able to save Thomas. After she drove away and got rid of those burly men, she called an ambulance for Thomas.

If Thomas had handed over the video to Julian in the cafe, he wouldn't have experienced this.

After Maisie escaped, those burly men were annoyed.

One of them called Eric and said regretfully, "Boss, we failed. The phone was snatched by a woman."

"What?" Eric was furious. "How dare you!"

The man sighed. "Boss, that woman is a fighting expert. None of us is a match for her..."

Eric was not in the mood to hear this. He interrupted the man. "Hurry up and go abroad. Remember to destroy all communication equipment. You have nothing to do with me. Understand?"

"Yes." The man answered and hung up the phone. After he explained to the other two men, they hurriedly left.

Eric had planned for them to escape abroad before.

According to the plan, they should go abroad after they got the phone. Now that they failed, they still needed to follow the original route, but they had to run from the police.

Julian and Emelia went to visit Maisie in the hospital. Seeing that Maisie was injured, Emelia was about to cry.

After handing Thomas's phone to Julian, Maisie smiled and comforted Emelia. "Don't worry. They are just minor cuts."

Emelia choked, "Thank you, Maisie."

Maisie said seriously. "Don't mention it. Even if you're not Mr. Hughes' girlfriend, you are still my friend. I won't stand by and watch you get framed."

Then, Emelia accompanied Maisie to get her wounds sterilized.

When Maisie put off her clothes, besides the bruises on her arms and back, Emelia saw many hickeys under Maisie's clavicle.

Emelia naturally knew that it was left when Maisie was having sex with someone. Emelia was a little stunned.

But very soon, Emelia figured out what was going on, so she asked in a low voice, "Is it Ezra?"

Maisie laughed to herself. "Do you think I'm asking for it?"

Although Maisie didn't say it was Ezra, Emelia could read between the lines.

Emelia shook her head and said, "Like a moth to a flame, you stick to your love. Your courage deserves my respect, and I don't mean to laugh at you at all."

After Emelia finished speaking, she sighed with emotion. "I was ever as stupid as you, so I have no right to laugh at you."

Back then, Emelia knew that she wouldn't end up well with Julian, but she accepted the marriage arranged by Grandpa Hughes.

Maisie lowered her eyes. "But you and Mr. Hughes have worked it out. He loves you so much, but I..."

Maisie's tone was a little sad, but Emelia didn't know what to say to comfort her.

However, Maisie quickly looked up and said, "But I have never expected to marry Ezra. He is different from Mr. Hughes. As a responsible man, Mr. Hughes was serious about marriage and love. Mr. Hughes wil always be attentive to you and your marriage."

"But Ezra is different. He doesn't believe in love and marriage, let alone getting married to me. He can't even love me alone.”

When Maisie said this, she became increasingly relieved. "Therefore, I only enjoy the process rather than long for his love."

"I'm glad that you can think so." Ezra was always involved with tidbits, and Emelia often heard about it.

Now that Maisie had slept with Ezra, Emelia hoped Maisie could take it easy. Therefore, after hearing what Maisie said, Emelia was relieved.

The nurse left after sterilizing the wounds. On second thoughts, Maisie said, "Don't tell Mr. Hughes about me and Ezra, or he will be angry." "But..." Emelia wasn't good at lying. In addition, Julian would know it eventually, so she didn't think it was feasible.

Before Emelia could finish her words, the door was pushed open. Ezra strode in, followed by Julian with a long face.

After Maisie was injured, Ezra hurried over. Even if Emelia didn't tell Julian about their relationship, Julian realized it was a little strange. "Where are you hurt?" Ezra asked Maisie with a frown.

"They are just minor cuts." Given that Julian was here, Maisie took a step back and avoided being touched by Ezra.

"Let me see it,' Ezra said as he tried to unbutton Maisie's collar.

Words failed Julian.

Ezra was so close to Maisie that he even tried to take off Maisie's clothes. Julian was not an idiot, so he guessed what was going on. Julian tried his best not to be angry. "What's the matter with you two?"

Julian had warned Ezra many times not to approach Maisie, but Ezra ignored that.

Before Ezra could say something, Maisie said, "Mr. Hughes, please don't blame this on Mr. Cantillo. I am willing to be with him."

Hearing this, Julian gave Maisie a glare. Ezra was a little surprised at Maisie's words, so he glanced at her with mixed feelings in his eyes.

"We need to talk later." Julian was not unreasonable. Now that Ezra wanted to check Maisie's wounds, Julian took Emelia out.

Julian was burning with rage. He took a few deep breaths before slowly calming down.

He regarded David and Maisie as his relatives and hoped that they could respectively marry a perfect mate.

But now, Maisie was stuck with Ezra...

Neither Ezra nor Maisie was bad, but they were not perfect for each other.

Ezra's father deceived and abandoned his mother, so he was very repulsive about marriage and love. Ezra insisted he would never get married. On the contrary, Maisie attached great importance to love and marriage.

"I have had a chat with Maisie." Emelia comforted Julian in a gentle voice, "She is much more optimistic than we thought, so I think she is OK with it."

Julian asked incredulously, "That is to say, she knows Ezra doesn't take it seriously, but she can accept it, right?"

Emelia nodded, which made Julian even more shocked.

Julian had been afraid that Maisie would be hurt, but now, he realized he might have worried too much?
