Chapter 1273
Maisie nodded. “Well, I expected this.”
Barbara summoned the waiter and continued. “She’s living in Mr. Hannigan’s
apartment now, but I think he’s holding her captive. ”
She ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, and after the waiter had gone away, she
asked, “Aren 1 1 you curious about what she said when I told her that you wanted to see
her?”
Maisie was holding a cup of coffee, and she was stunned for a moment. After a short
while, she took a sip from the coffee and asked, “what did she say?”
“She said she doesn’t want to see you.”
Seeing the crack on Maisie’s face, Barbara giggled and added, “Alright, alright. I’ll stop
messing with you.”
Maisie crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Barbara.
Barbara leaned forward and said with a smile on her face, “It's true that she didn't say
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe doesn't want to see you, but she didn't say when either.”
Maisie nodded. “That means she doesn’t want to see me. It’s just that she doesn’t want
to say it out explicitly.”
Barbara lifted her eyebrows. “So, why do you want to see her? Do you want to resolve the feud between you and
her?”
“Feud? I’ve long gotten over it. We don’t have any feud anymore.” Maisie placed her hand on her forehead, she
picked up the spoon and stirred her coffee. “It’s just that I feel a little sad for her.”
Barbara seemed to have seen through Maisie’s mind.
“You just can't bear seeing her in her current situation, right? Although it wasn't your fault in the first place, if she
hadn't thought of setting you up, she wouldn't have ended up in that situation. However, if she refused to change
and continued to harm you, things would've developed differently, and you wouldn't want to help her today.
“You now feel that you went too far when you took revenge on her, but if you think from another angle, if you didn't
do that, the one who would have lost her reputation wouldn't be her but you. If she hadn't gone so far when doing
that thing, it wouldn't have backfired on her. People in this world are unpredictable. Someone would hate you for no
reason, while other people would let go of their hatred after some time.”
In the past, she hated Katrina even though she was her older sister. However, she let go of her hatred in the end.
As for Pearl, she used to hate Maisie, but did she still hate her now?
Maisie picked up her coffee and said, “It seems like you've become even wiser after marrying Helios.”
Barbara chuckled. “Well, I learned it from you.”
At that moment, Maisie’s phone rang. It was Louis. After Louis said something to her, she ended the call and picked
up her purse. “Ryleigh is giving birth today. Let's go to the hospital.”
Both of them rushed to the hospital.
Outside of the delivery room...
Louis was sitting on the bench, his body leaning forward and his legs wide spread. He clasped his hands tightly. The
longer he waited, the more tormented he was.
Larissa was pacing in the corridor, when she saw Maisie, she called out to her, “Maisie.”
“Louis, Aunt Larrisa.” She stopped for a moment to catch her breath. “Ryleigh hasn’t come out yet?”
“Not yet. It has been three hours.” Larrisa was both anxious and worried.
At that moment, they heard a baby's cries in the delivery room.
Louis stood up and walked up to the delivery room. The nurse opened the door and

Congratulations, Mr. Lucas.”
Louis was stunned. “It’s a boy?”
‘But I want a daughter! ’
While the nurse was dumbfounded, Larrisa came over and pushed him. “It doesn’t
matter if it’s a son or a daughter. You should hurry up and go check on your wife.”
It was only then Louis came around to his senses. He rushed into the delivery room to
check on his wife. “ Ryleigh!”
Ryleigh's face was pale, and she was extremely weak because she had just given birth,
when Louis knelt beside the bed and grabbed her hand, she couldn't help but cry out,
''I'll never give birth again.' 1
“Alright, alright. We're not having any more babies.” Louis wiped the tears off her face
and leaned forward to kiss her forehead. “You’ve done a great job, Ryleigh.”
After that, Ryleigh was pushed back into her ward.
Maisie and Barbara were happy for her since she had finally given birth to her baby.
The nurse and Larrisa brought the baby over and said. “Come, take a look at your
baby.”
