"I..." Maisie didn't quite know how to respond.
Arya quickly waved her hand and said, "Please, don't misunderstand. I'm not prying into your privacy. I just find this situation a bit odd."
"Yeah, it does seem strange," Maisie said, lowering her head in thought. She added, "I didn't know Daniel before. I first met him while working at the kindergarten. So, I'm not sure why Graham's suspicions exist. If needed, I can explain things to him in person."
"Do you really want to see him again?"
Maisie chuckled. "We ended our engagement—we're not enemies. Plus, as you mentioned, he has already faced consequences, hasn't he?"
Arya nodded, admiring Maisie's magnanimity. She couldn't help but think she might not have the same composure if Toph treated her the same way.
After a light meal, Maisie went straight to the hospital. She knew Graham would be at the hospital today for a dressing change and the ward he'd be in. While she no longer had lingering feelings for him, she felt the need to clarify things. Perhaps explaining the situation would put an end to his suspicions.
As Maisie walked down the corridor toward Graham's ward, she heard some commotion inside. It sounded like... Daniel's voice!
Maisie was taken aback and hurriedly pushed the door open, only to find Daniel coming out of the room. He seemed somewhat surprised when he saw Maisie but quickly adjusted his mood and smiled at her.
"Why are you here?"
"You..." Maisie's eyes widened, and she wanted to ask the same question.
She instinctively glanced inside the room.
Graham was leaning against the wall, looking pale as if he had melded with the wall. There was a hint of hatred in his eyes, but his fear of Daniel overshadowed it.
