Chapter 1755


    Rest a bit more." Daniel gently assisted her in lying down, stealing onest nce before finally


    departing.


    Throughout the night, Maisie tossed and turned, her head throbbing at times, and the image of the


    small vi in the


    woods appeared whenever she closed her eyes. The ce Cam had taken her and the one in her


    dream


    inexplicably merged.


    Her heart raced, and she broke into a cold sweat. When she abruptly opened her eyes, dawn had


    already arrived.


    Reluctantly rising, she poured herself a ss of water, and at that moment, an unfamiliar number


    shed on her


    phone.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    After a brief hesitation, she answered, recognizing a somewhat familiar voice.


    "Ms. Squire, it''s me."


    "You..."


    "You saved me on the street the other day, and I''ve been looking for you."


    Maisie recalled the pregnant woman and nodded with a smile. "Yeah, I remember you. How are you


    now? Are you


    still in the hospital? Are you feeling better?"


    A moment of silence followed before a soft voice spoke. "Ms. Squire, there are some things I want to


    talk to you


    about in person. Are you free today?"


    Assuming the woman wanted to express gratitude, Maisie reassured her and suggested not worrying


    about the


    incident.


    "No..." The girl''s voice was very soft. "It''s something very important, not suitable to discuss over the


    phone. Can we


    meet, please?"


    Maisie frowned but eventually agreed to the meeting.


    They arranged to meet at noon in a park near the hospital, a quiet and suitable location for a


    conversation. -


    Maisie arrived at the park at the agreed time and found the girl sitting on a bench by the artificialke.


    She was


    dressed in all white with a light-colored fisherman''s hat, her belly had grown, and though thin, she


    seemed well.


    Yvette smiled gently, offering Maisie a rice ball with tuna and seaweed.


    "You''re having this for lunch?" Maisie touched it, already cooled. "I''ll have the hotel send some food


    over..."


    "No need." Yvette looked at her. "You don''t know my name yet, do you? I''m Yvette Sawyer."


    "Oh..."


    "I found you through the information from that hospital," Yvette said softly. "When you save a person,


    the hospital


    keeps your contact information."


    "It looks like you''re around my age." Yvette held Maisie''s hand. "So it should be easy for us to


    understand each


    other, right?"


    Maisie''s heart thumped as she felt inexplicably anxious. "What do you want to talk about?"


    "I want to tell you..." Yvette took a deep breath. "I deliberately copsed on the street that day to get


    your


    attention."


    Maisie was startled, instinctively pulling away from Yvette''s hand and shifting away.


    "Ms. Squire, don''t be afraid." Yvette''s gaze was sad but determined. "Since I have the courage to tell


    you everything


    today, it means I don''t want to be controlled by others anymore... I want to be good for my child. I don''t


    want him


    to know he has a mother with a questionable past!"


    "Well..." Maisie couldn''t speak for a while. "What exactly is going on?"


    "I''m not a mistress. I have a husband!" Yvette looked into her eyes. "My husband is a mechanic,


    responsible for


    maintaining the Quimby vehicles. I''m sensitive and had lost two children before. It was not easy for me


    to conceive


    this child... The doctor said, due to my health condition, this child is likely not going to make it either."
