Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 804 A Temporary Return to Riverside City

Maisie was a bit speechless, "How would you believe that I have gotten over him?"

"Is your sister unable to live without a man?"

"I did not mean it. I'm just...I'm..." David did not know how to finish the sentence. He was just annoyed and angry and hated Ezra.

The man was so vicious.

David knew Ezra could not promise Maisie a future, and Ezra ventured to stir her life anyway.

Even when they had broken up, Ezra wouldn't just leave Maisie alone.

Though David had no evidence that Ezra went to the wedding in order to keep badgering his sister, he instinctively knew Ezra was up to something.

Maisie continued, "I know all of you think we are not for each other and opposed to us being together, but I loved him anyway. Why do you think I did that?"

"It's because I know I'm willing to take the risk of loving him. When I love him, I love him with all my heart. And when I don't love him anymore, there won't be any connection between us." Her words indirectly stated her attitude towards Ezra - she would neither get entangled with him nor miss him anymore.

"Sorry..." David murmured on the other end.

"It's okay." said Maisie, "Just don't make a fuss about it anymore. I'm good."

"Right," David said no more and hung up the phone.

David was busy getting up, washing and diving into a new day, while Maisie was busy looking after her son. Daisy was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, after which Maisie headed to the office. As the leader of a branch company, Maisie was busy every day.

As she thought she was going to return to her normal life in Grafstin, something happened to David.

David had acute appendicitis and needed to have an operation. Someone should take care of him in the hospital.

Emilia called and told Maisie about that. Actually, David intended to tell no one. He did not want his mother to know because he didn't want her to come to Riverside City to take care of him.

For one thing, David did not get along with his mother, who would always complain about the things Maisie did. David hated to hear those things, for he had a thick bond with his sister.

For another, his mother had been living in small towns for a long time, which to some extent made her uncomfortable coming to a big city like Riverside City. Every time she came to visit them, which was not so often, she was accompanied by him and Maisie. It would not work if she were to come here and do things like go to the market and bring food to the hospital, etc.

David did not want his sister to know, either. If she had known, David would have come to attend to him. But any connection between her and Ezra would be the last thing David had ever wanted when he and Ezra's father were both in Arthur's hospital.

Though it was only a minimally invasive surgery, it seemed a bit lonely and forlorn to stay in the hospital all alone.

Emilia went to see him once, and tender-hearted as she was, Emilia could not bear to watch that. After consulting with Julian, she called Maisie.

The relationship between Maisie and Ezra they had taken into consideration. They both agreed it was not a problem, for Maisie would not abandon her brother for a man.

Judging from what happened at the wedding, Maisie was not slightly affected by Ezra.

Their only concern was the baby.

The specific time for David to be discharged from the hospital depended on how well he recovered. If it went well, he could leave in about three days, but if not, it would take him about five days.

But even when he was discharged, Maisie might still spend some time taking care of him. After all, David was not one of those independent people. Besides, the diet after the surgery was also a vital issue. If Maisie was going to stay that long, she was going to miss her son.

The moment Emilia told her about David's situation, Maisie made up her mind, "I'm coming to Riverside City to take care of him."

David was not the kind of person who knew how to live a life. He cooked terribly, and Maisie was not going to let him have takeout food every day.

Emilia was concerned, "How about the baby?"

Maisie pressed her lips and thought a long while, and said decisively, "I'll bring him with me."

"David happened to have an apartment opposite to mine. I will have him live with me in my place, and Daisy and the baby in his place. I will tell them to secretly move in, live there for a couple of days, and leave without anyone's notice."

"If anyone asks, we can say David's apartment is rented out."

Since she could not bear to separate from her son for so long and could not leave David on his own, Maisie had to take the risk and make this decision.

"That might work." Emilia thought it was a good idea.

As long as the child did not stay with Maisie, no one would develop any suspicion.

Maisie added, "I will pack my things and book the ticket right now. But I'm afraid when I arrived at Riverside. I'm going to need Mr. Hughes to arrange a car for me, to get little Ezio and Daisy into the apartment.

"No problem." Emilia said thoughtfully, "Your apartment and David's must have been unused for a long time. I will ask David for his key and have them cleaned."

David seldom lived in the apartment opposite Maisie's, and Maisie had left Riverside City for a long time, so their apartments must be in desperate need of cleaning. Maisie was rather grateful, "Thank you."

It was already afternoon when Maisie showed up at the airport with her son and Daisy. She separated from them at the exit and took a cab alone. On the other hand, little Ezio and Daisy were picked up by Julian's man and they met Maisie in the apartment half an hour later.

Emilia not only had the room cleaned but also prepared all kinds of toys and mattresses for the kid.

As soon as Daisy and her son were ensconced, Maisie hurried to the hospital.

David, who did not expect to see Maisie, got so flustered that his wound started to hurt again.

But the pain did not affect him much for he was otherwise occupied, "You did not mention my illness to mother, did you?"

David did not want his mother to know anything about it, or she would feel like the end of the world was coming, which would lead to her exaggerated behaviors.

"No," Maisie stepped forward to push him down, comforting him, "I know what you are thinking."

It was kind of ironic that both she and her little brother chose to hide from their parents what trouble they were in. For Maisie, it was unmarried pregnancy, and for her brother, it was being ill. Maisie wondered if that was because their parents had always failed to fulfill their duties.

And without talking to each other, both Maisie and David chose to conceal the fact from their parents. When Maisie did not return home during the Spring Festival, David made an excuse for her, saying that she was working abroad. After all, David was always absent thanks to that excuse.

Their parents did not expect to see her anyway. As long as David sent enough money and gifts back, they would not mind her absence at all.
