"Could you tell me why you two fight?" Maisie asked what she was concerned about the most.
But Ezra pressed his lips, averted his eyes, and said nothing. His angular face seemed rather sullen under the corridor light.
Maisie seemed to understand something, "I suppose it's me that should apologize."
Ezra returned to her, frowning.
She explained calmly, "All those time, David failed to let it go, though I have persuaded him multiple times. I guess he was impulsive again, so I wanted to apologize to him."
Maisie kind of figured it out when she knew Ezra was the victim. After all, David loathed him, all the time. David probably wanted to vent on Ezra after being distressed about her bringing the child back.
Thinking of that, Maisie decided to make things clear, "I never had or have any grudge against you, and I will not badger you in the rest of my life. Likewise, David will never do this thing again."
Maisie hoped Ezra would not have any misunderstanding, like she was having a miserable life in Grafstin, which caused David to be so angry.
Hearing that, Ezra seemed graver. He stared at Maisie's calm expression, and curled up his lips into an ironical sneer, "It's not his fault this time."
Maisie, while confused, heard his ruthless speech, "I told my dad what happened between us was merely a fling. I looked down upon you, especially your family background."
"Somehow those words reached his ears. My dad called me and you already know the rest."
Maisie felt it ridiculous. What's wrong with Ezra? She had let it all go.
Though she was clear Ezra was playing with her at the beginning, it was a bit suffocating for her to hear him say it so cruelly.
Maisie probably had broken down, if she was not clenching her fists, using the pain to keep herself calm.
It was good for him to be cruel, so Maisie could make sure she was completely over Ezra.
She smiled, "Everyone knows that. He shouldn't have behaved like that."
Ezra watched her smile, turned around coldly, and strode away.
When his back disappeared in the elevator, Maisie sunk into a bench nearby.
Her palms were full of scratches.
It hurt, but she deserved it.
After all, she fell in love with Ezra despite knowing it was going to end badly, that he was not that into her, or that he did not love her at all.
Maisie averted her attention from her hand to David who was still lying in the emergency room.
If David heard what Ezra had said to her, it was no wonder that he would punch him though he was still hurt.
When David was removed from the room after the operation, the doctor said to Maisie in a serious tone, "He's okay now, but you must watch him well. Don't let his wound open up again, or it will be quite troublesome."
"I will. Thank you, doctor."
When David was under the anesthetic, Maisie stayed with him. This time, she would make sure nothing happen to him.
Emilia and Julian, hearing David was having another operation, came to the hospital.
Emilia looked at Maisie's exhausted look, worriedly, "What happened? Ezra called Julien, saying that David was in the emergency room again. But he did not mention what happened."
Maisie did not expect Ezra to call Julian. But now, she seemed averse to his name. Somehow the mentioning of Ezra's name gave Maisie a headache.
Maybe it was because of the trauma Ezra left Maisie in the corridor that had cut her heart into pieces.
"David disliked Ezra. It's his fault." Maisie concealed the fact since she could not muster the courage to repeat what Ezra had said to Emilia.
Julian interposed, "Emilia will take you to eat something. I will stay here."
The thing happened at dinner time, so she must not have any food.
Attending to patients costs a lot of energy. Maisie needed to make sure she was strong enough.
Maisie was reluctant at first, but Emilia dragged her away.
As David was still unconscious, Julian turned to the medical staff for figuring out what happened.
David just had an operation, if he had not been extremely enraged, he would not have fought Ezra at the expense of his own health.
Besides, it was quite bizarre that both Ezra and Maisie were reluctant to mention what happened.
Luckily, it was Arthur's hospital, though he was at Zoshalor now, it was not an obstacle for Julian.
The truth enraged Julian as well. Julian could now well understand David and would do the same thing, if not even harder, should Ezra be in the hospital.
Here was what happened after Maisie had gone. David was sleeping when the nurse came in to change his drip with an intern.
They thought David was still sleeping, so they began to chat.
The nurse said, "I heard today that Ezra once dated Julian's assistant."
The intern was surprised, "Julian's assistant?"
The nurse glanced at David who was lying on the bed and lowered her voice, "That guy's sister, the one that came to look after him in the afternoon. She used to be Julian's assistant."
"What?" The intern seemed to know nothing.
The nurse continued, "I heard Ezra talking to his father when I passed by that he was just playing with Maisie. He never liked her, let alone her family background."
The nurse was the one who was eavesdropping. Indeed she was one of Mrs. Cantillo's little birds but she was just chit-chatting in David's ward.
The intern rejoined, "That makes sense. Playboys like Ezra don't date girls seriously. Besides, with his status, even if he is to get married, he should marry some wealthy girls."
It didn't take long for them to change the drip, so they left after those brief talks.
But David was on the verge of an explosion. He had poor sleep, and even the slightest movement would awake him.
David wanted to open his eyes the minute he was interrupted, but he pretended to sleep when they mentioned his sister.
If he had known what cruel thing they were going to talk about, David would have opened his eyes and interrupted them first.
