Chapter 1752
She also wanted to tell him that she was happy to have a child, thinking it would be a testament to their
love. With
him in her life and a child on the way, she felt content. She also wanted to ask him what name they
should give to
the child.
However, his stern gaze pierced her like an arrow, shattering the words she wanted to say.
"Abort it."
Maisie froze, a chill crawling up her spine.
Without further exnation, Daniel left the room after saying those two words. Maisie stared at the
tightly-closed
door, as if it was the door to his heart that had never opened for her.
After that, she tried for many days—crying, pleading, even kneeling in front of him without dignity.
"Consider this child mine, okay? It can take my surname. I promise not to use it to threaten you. Once
it''s born, I''ll
make sure both of us disappear from your life. We won''t disturb you again. Is that not eptable?"
Daniel remained unmoved.
At the time, he had been facing turbulence within thepany. Despite the seemingly harmonious
facade of the
family, there were hidden conflicts and power struggles in the shadows.
He couldn''t afford to make any mistakes, including in his personal life.
People in the boardroom were already saying that he was keeping a mistress—a young girl. This
escted to
questioning how they could trust someone who treated even his own feelings as a game with the entire
company.
Maisie didn''t know how Daniel managed during that time, and Daniel didn''t understand how he, who
had never
cared about rtionships, could endure the pressure and still refuse to let Maisie leave.
Their child had juste at the wrong time.
...
"Don''te over! Don''te near me! Don''t hurt my child!"
Maisie suddenly curled up, trembling incessantly. Daniel held her tightly, stroking her back and
murmuring "don''t be
afraid" in her ear.
Maisie slowly opened her eyes, unable to distinguish whether this was a dream or reality. The vague
images in her
mind unfolded before her eyes like scenes.
Someone had once spoiled her to the heavens but heartlessly dragged her into hell when she had
most hoped for a
resolution.
Tears surged in her eyes. She grabbed Daniel''s cor tightly, a mix of terror, hatred, and attachment

gaze. She stared at him for a long time, then suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her temple and copsed
on the bed.
"Maisie!"
Daniel immediately took out his phone to call for a doctor.
After the examination, Maisie was found to be fine, but the sleepless night had left Daniel looking
weary.
"Mr. Quimby, there are doctors and nurses here. Why don''t you take a break?" his assistant suggested,
offering him
a ss of warm water.
"No need," Daniel said in a deep voice. "I''ll stay here with her."
"Mr. Quimby, there''s another matter at hand..."
"What is it?"
"Our people have been monitoring the pregnant woman in the hospital over the past few days and
found out that
she actually has a husband."
"What?" Daniel was surprised.
He had heard from Maisie about that incident. When the pregnant woman had copsed, the crowd
had gossiped
that she was a mistress. The pregnant woman herself had told Maisie that she had fallen in love with
the wrong
person.
What was up with her husband?
"Are you sure that''s her husband?"
"Absolutely." His assistant nodded. "However... We used your connections at the police station without
informing
you. It was urgent, so..."
"That''s fine." Daniel waved his hand. "Just make sure everything is handled properly."
"The investigation revealed that the man is not only her husband but also responsible for maintaining
the Quimbys''
vehicles."
"Is that so?" Daniel raised an eyebrow, suddenly recalling something. "So, the car of my second uncle
could very
well have been driven by this man without permission?"
