Chapter 1678


    "I..." Maisie said, "I''ve never heard you talking about your past."


    "What would you like to know?" Daniel asked.


    "Hmm." Maisie hesitated. She naturally wanted to know about his love life.


    Daniel was no longer young, but he was good-looking and wealthy. It would be unreal if he had never


    been in a


    rtionship before. As his current girlfriend, it was only natural that she was eager to find out what his


    exes were


    like.


    Were they drop-dead gorgeous? Did theye from prestigious families that matched his?


    They must be outstanding.


    She bit her lip, unsure if he would be upset if she asked him.


    Suddenly, Daniel spoke just when she was troubled. "You want to know whether I had girlfriends in the


    past?"


    Her cheeks blushed, and she quickly lowered her head to drink the soup.


    He smiled, his deep eyes fixed on her beautiful face.


    "I''ve... loved one person."


    "Oh." she responded, feeling a bit down.


    Daniel could see sadness on her face, and he couldn''t help but haveplicated feelings rising within


    him.


    "Is she beautiful?" she asked.


    He answered honestly, "She was wless to me."


    Maisie felt even more jealous now. "So... What did you like about her?"


    Daniel couldn''t help butugh. "Must we talk about this?"


    "I want to know!" she insisted.


    "She was just like you." He looked into her eyes quietly. "She was beautiful, gentle, and empathetic.


    She was smart,


    too. Sometimes, she''d be so quiet that one could ignore her existence."


    "Then why didn''t you guys get together?"


    Daniel held her hands gently, then exerted more strength as if he wanted her hands for himself.


    Maisie felt a little pain but said nothing. She saw a tinge of sadness deep in his eyes, and it touched


    her heart,


    making it ache a little.


    "It''s my fault no matter what," Daniel said. "I was too arrogant, and I hurt her. My selfishness drove her


    away. I only


    know that true love is hard toe by now, so I won''t let it go again."


    She looked at him nkly. He was talking about his past lover, so why did he... look into her eyes and


    say it so


    seriously as if he was telling her that?


    "Maisie, will you marry me?" Daniel blurted.


    She panicked a little bit. There was a blurry image ying in her head at that moment. She seemed to


    have seen a

    girl holding a ring, and a man walked over and pped the ring to the ground...


    She felt a sudden headache and withdrew her hands.


    "What''s wrong?" he asked.


    "Nothing," Maisie held back how ufortable she was feeling. "I''m quite tired. I''d like to rest."


    Daniel helped her to the couch and brought over the fruits that he had cut. He then put a shawl on her


    carefully.


    He went to clean the table after doing that.


    At that moment, Maisie''s phone rang.


    It was a rather unfamiliar voice. The other party instantly introduced herself, saying that she was a


    nurse at the


    hospital, Nina''s student.


    Maisie seemed to remember her and asked courteously, "How can I help you?"


    "M-Ms. Squire, Dr. Perkins said you''d need a couple more check-ups for your stomachache. A-Are you


    free


    tomorrow morning?"


    Not sure if it was the bad signal or something else, Maisie kept thinking that the nurse''s voice was


    strange. Her


    voice was shaking, and she was stuttering.


    "M-Ms. Squire..." The nurse asked again, "Can youe in the morning? I-I''ll make the appointment


    for you if


    you''re okay with that. The procedures are simple. Dr. Perkins isn''t needed. I''ll do it for you! W- What do


    you think?"
