Chapter 808
After the nurses left, David struggled to call Ezra.
He was so furious that his eyes were tinged with red, and he was desperately hoping that he could tear Ezra into pieces.
So the minute Ezra stepped into his room, David forced himself to get off the bed and waved his fists at him.
At that moment, nothing existed in David's head, even his own life, as long as he could bring Ezra into this slough of despond.
Julian, knowing what had happened, called Arthur, who without hesitation sacked the nurse and the intern.
He would not have Mrs. Cantillo's spies in his hospital to the conversation between Ezra and his father, which was a violation of professional ethics, and at the same time, talked bullshit with the intern during work time.
Julian and Arthur were more than efficient in taking action, so when Emilia and Maisie were back, everything was settled.
Maisie had adjusted her moods and had taken some food, for she knew better than anyone that she needed to hold up to take care of David.
When David woke up, finding everyone was there, he didn't know how to face them.
He knew he was too emotional, but he just couldn't control it.
Julian said first, "It's okay now. No one is blaming you. Plus, you have paid your price, that is, the physical pain you are suffering."
David pressed his lips. He seemed weak and haggard after enduring the second operation.
Maisie, unable to say anything harsh to him, just stepped forward, "Want some water?"
David could not drink water now, so Maisie took a cotton swab dipped in water to apply to his lips.
David felt both bitter and guilty, for he knew his current situation might require Maisie to stay a few days more.
Julian said to Maisie, "You've been busy all day. Go home and have some rest, I will look after him."
Maisie could not accept, "I'm alright, Mr. Hughes. I can handle it. And I can have some rest when David is okay."
Emilia took her arm, "Don't push too hard. Go home first and come tomorrow."
Seeing that Emilia and Julian had made up their mind, Maisie compromised and accepted their offer.
Julian stayed while the driver sent Emilia and Maisie home.
Maisie was a bit worried, "But you need to look after your two children alone tonight…"
Since their children were born, Julian had not missed a day accompanying them, no matter how busy he was, because Julian wanted to be there when his children were growing up, and he didn't want Emilia to be too tired.
But now, he was leaving Emilia alone with two children to help her take care of David, which made Maisie feel conscience-stricken.
Emilia, however, smiled, "Don't worry about it. We have two babysitters."
"And besides, I get the chance to feel more like a mother. When Julian's around, the kids always hang around with him."
Though Emilia was kind of complaining, Maisie knew she was trying to make her feel less guilty. And she succeeded, for the ice that froze her heart was beginning to thaw thanks to her tenderness.
They went home safely. After taking a shower and spending time with her son, Maisie hurried to plunge into work.
Maisie and David were both important in the company, but now, neither of them was doing their jobs. That Julian still treated them like family brought much burden to Maisie, but she had no other way but to pray that David got better soon.
When David was accompanied by Julian, he was weak and groggy most of the time.
Then a message from Ezra came to Julian, "How is David?"
At the moment, Ezra was kind of a subject of annoyance whom Julian had the least intention to contact.
Though David initiated the fight, Ezra was not innocent.
What he said was brutal, and had broken Maisie's and David's hearts. They were always close, and David would always get Maisie's back.
What annoyed Julian was why was Ezra caring about David after he had said those things? Did it have any business to do with him?
Seeing that Julian did not reply, Ezra sensed he was impatient with him.
He called him later, "What I said today…"
Julian interjected, "I don't care why you said those things. What is done is done."
Last time, Ezra hurt Maisie indirectly by not wanting a baby.
This time, the damage was direct and devastating. Ezra supposed Maisie had completely given up Ezra.
Hearing the other end was silent, Julian added, "He's fine now."
"I gotta go." Julian ended it first.
Grasping the phone, Ezra looked up at the building not far away.
Ezra had no idea why he would show up at Maisie's place. What he said today was meant to enrage his father. Whatever his father proposed, Ezra would protest.
Besides, merely because he went to seek her in Grafstin, his father caused Maisie's car accident to separate them. And now his father was suggesting shamelessly that Ezra should marry Maisie, how could Ezra satisfy him?
But unfortunately, Ezra's deliberate sarcasm was spread out.
When Ezra was in the corridor of the hospital, he meant to explain something. But when he saw Maisie's aloofness and how she talked indifferently about their past, somehow he got vexed again and blurted out those mean words.
As the nurses got fired, Mrs. Cantillo also heard that Maisie was back in Riverside City to look after David, but she did not care about it.
While sipping tea elegantly in a tea house, Mrs. Cantillo said scornfully, "A woman raised in such a poor family like Maisie will not be a big threat."
"But that bastard is smart enough this time, to know marrying a woman like that won't be helpful."
Though Mrs. Cantillo did not care about it, Erika went to provoke Maisie anyway despite Mrs. Cantillo's suggestion.
Erika needed to vent on someone her anger about being rejected by Ezra.
Since Ezra rejected to marry Erika, she had been the biggest joke in Riverside. Erika was so ashamed that she dared not go to any party for a long time.
Maisie, the woman who used to date Ezra, had no significant friends in Riverside and was merely an assistant to Julian.
Besides, it was said that Maisie was dull and boring. Erika imagined it would be easy and fun to bully her. Maisie should be the kind of punching bag.
