Both of them had done things for someone, but who was that person? Was this related to Maisie?
Just then, he received a call from the hotel, informing him that Maisie had already regained consciousness. Daniel
suppressed his thoughts and immediately rushed back to the hotel.
Although Maisie had awakened, she still looked pale and weak. When she saw Daniel, she smiled. As he sat by her
bedside and embraced her, she took a deep breath and said softly, "I'm so tired..."
Daniel gently stroked her head, feeling his heart ache.
"I feel like I've walked a long way," Maisie murmured, as if in a dream. "The path never seemed to end, and you
were always ahead. I kept shouting for you, but it seemed like you couldn't hear me. You were just ignoring me..."
"Silly girl." Daniel comforted her softly. "You've been under a lot of stress lately because of your writing. Sometimes
I feel that the decision to bring you to Cumulus City was... perhaps a mistake.

Maisie, who was surprised, looked at him. "Do you really want to go?"
"I..."
"I actually think this place is fine," Maisie said in a low voice. "Although I had a serious illness before and lost my
memory, there's a special sense of familiarity here. Maybe because I was born and raised here. The older
generations were right. People do return to their roots. If possible... I'd like to stay here for the rest of my life."
Daniel kissed her hair lightly, forcing a smile.
"Then our home will be here."
"Our home?"
Daniel nodded. He had long decided to give Maisie a home, and this home had to be far away from the previous
place.
"Oh, my manuscript..." Maisie hastily tried to get up, but the sudden movement caused her to feel dizzy and fall
back into Daniel's embrace.
"Don't worry about that right now," Daniel said gently. "According to Camila, the final draft is ready.
There won't be any more work for you in the later stages. I'll talk to Lily about everything else. You just focus on
resting. After the new book is published, you need to keep your promise and become Mrs. Quimby."
"Oh..." Maisie blushed slightly, leaning against him with a smile.
"Maisie."
"Yeah?"
"Before we get married, I have a story I want to tell you." Daniel held her hand. His palm was warm, but cold sweat
dotted his forehead. It had taken a lot of courage for him to say those words.
Lily was right. Rather than letting her learn about the past from someone else, it would be better for him to tell her

Maisie blinked. "What kind of story?"
"A story like... the you wrote." Daniel smiled. "But I'll have to wait until you're done with work before I can
slowly tell you. This story is long, and the ending may not be satisfactory, but I really want to tell you about it."
Maisie smiled, thinking he wanted to provide material for her books.
"It's getting late." She looked at the clock. "Are you staying here tonight?"
"I'm a bit worried about you." Daniel looked at her. "But there are some business matters I need to handle. I might
have to go back to the office later."
"You can rest assured. I can manage on my own. Besides, there are doctors and nurses here. If I don't feel well, I'll
just call them."
"Alright." He squeezed her small hand. "In a couple of days, we'll go look at houses and decorate and furnish them
according to your favorite style. You'll be busy beautifying our home in the future!"
"Okay!" Maisie smiled sweetly.
The moment he mentioned "home", however, she suddenly felt a twisting pain in her chest. It felt like the moment
she had first met him. That instantaneous agony...
