Maisie was deeply affected by the situation, regardless of the terminology used. Those who took pleasure in her misfortune didn't care if her love for Daniel was genuine. They would judge her solely based on their own moral beliefs.
"What happened?" Graham asked. "What about the child?"
"She got pregnant by accident." Wesley's voice gradually lowered. "Daniel was overbearing and controlling. He had forbidden her from becoming pregnant, but she did anyway. How could that benefit the girl?
"Furthermore, they had been together for nearly three years. I suppose... by then, Daniel had grown tired of her, so he didn't spoil her as much.
"I remember one night she rushed home in a panic. As soon as she arrived, she sought her sister, and they locked themselves in a room, talking all night.
"In the morning, Daniel's men blocked my way at the door, and they took Maisie back. I don't know what happened after that. I heard she wanted to keep the baby and kept running away, but Daniel would always catch her. The last time, she ran quite far, attempting to live a secret life, but Daniel's men still found her."
Graham asked in a deep voice, "Did the child die?"
Wesley looked troubled. "I really don't know what happened in between. But one thing is certain: Maisie became mentally ill, and something happened to Daniel that made him suddenly want to protect her."
Graham's face turned grim, and he coldly smirked.
He remembered when Linda introduced Maisie to him, describing her as an exceptional girl.
He never imagined she had been used.
Not only had she been pregnant before, but she had also become mentally unstable and lost her memory.
He couldn't believe Linda had spoken so highly of her. She even wanted to pass her on to him, as if handing over a toy her brother had played with before?
