Chapter 570
Nolan smiled and grabbed her hand. “I’m not coughing anymore.”
Just when Maisie was about to say something, a figure appeared at the door.
The newcomer was none other than Erwin. He was wearing a coffee-colored trench coat, making him
look even more handsome and regal.
“I hope I’m not interrupting you two,” he said.
Maisie hurriedly rose to her feet and asked, “Uncle Erwin, how is Mr. Kestner?”
As Erwin approached Maisie, he replied, “Adrian is fine. He looks a little bit worn out, but he’s doing fine.”
Strix had been very firm in his attitude when he went to get Adrian back from Roger. On the other side,
Roger had been worried that Strix would make a big deal out of it, so he had no other choice but to let
Adrian go.
“Robert was his milk cow while Daniel was his executioner, and Roger has become a lot weaker than he
used to be after losing both of them,” Nolan said as he tugged at his blanket. “Although he still has
Shawn and Gregory on his side, neither of them can pose a threat to us.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtErwin nodded. Shawn was just a businessman, and it wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that he was Roger’s
errand boy. He did not have any family background and was not a noble, so it was easy to get rid of him.
As for Gregory, without Roger’s help, he wouldn’t have been able to become a high-ranking officer in the
government. However, a man’s nature would be revealed when he gained power.
People always said that the grass on the wall would always sway along with the wind. Now that the
situation was not in Roger’s favor, it went without saying that Gregory would not support Roger if he
wanted to keep his position.
“I heard that the descendant of the Hathaways has given Roger a large sum of money for him to
monopolize the market of the vaccines, “Erwin said as he looked at Nolan.
Nolan chuckled. “Don’t worry. He isn’t someone who would suffer a loss.”
Erwin lowered his head and smiled. “Roger now owes him a huge amount of money. I wonder how he is
going to fill in the big hole.”
Maisie did not understand what they were talking about at all. When Erwin was leaving, Maisie walked
him to the door.
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Erwin turned his head around and asked, “Zee, after
everything is over, are you going back to Morwich or to Zlokovia with him?”
Maisie was stunned. After a short while, she said, “I think I will go back to Zlokovia. I miss my other two
kids.”
Erwin nodded, “That’s fine too.”
Maisie walked back to the ward. However, she heard a conversation from inside before entering the
ward.
“You still haven’t told Ms. Vanderbilt that Hernandez deliberately faked his disappearance and is actually
dead?”
Nolan squinted his eyes. After a short while, he said, ” I’m worried that she can’t accept it.”
“But she will know about it sooner or later.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Nolan turned around and was stunned when he saw Maisie was
standing at the door. He rose to his feet and called out to her, “Zee.”
Maisie looked at him, her face calm. “Did you already know that?”
The bodyguard exited from the ward, leaving both of them inside. Nolan walked up to Maisie, grabbed
her shoulders, and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Zee. It’s only until very recently that I learned about it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaisie pressed her lips tightly and lowered her head.
He grabbed her into his arms and secured her tightly in his embrace. As he kissed the top of her head,
he continued. “Zee, trust me, this is the only thing I didn’t tell you. I also just found out that your
grandfather’s disappearance was a scheme he set up to confuse those people.”
Maisie’s body was trembling. She buried her head deep in his chest and asked with a shaking voice, “So
he’s already dead, right?” Nolan grabbed her hand tightly, but he did not know how to answer her
question. He knew that she might not be able to accept this outcome.
Maisie pushed him away. There was a sad expression on her face, and her eyes were brimming with
tears.” Where is my grandfather?”
Nolan was stunned. After a long while, he wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes with his fingertip and
replied in a husky voice, “We
Lapier ou
can’t find his body. He was already seriously injured on that day when the accident occurred, and he
passed away not long after.”
