Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 805

David was relieved, "Thank god."

He really could not bear any more his mother's cry and scream when she called Maisie to pay medical bills. In her mother's eyes, Maisie was where she could extract money. Whenever she needed money, more or less, Maisie was her first choice.

Actually, it was just a small operation. It wouldn't cost much, and there was still medical insurance. Besides, his salary was rather good in a big city like Riverside City. It wouldn't be a big cost for him even if there was no medical insurance.

But his mother believed Maisie was going to marry someone sooner or later, and her money would ultimately become someone else's, thus it would be stupid not to ask her for money.

Every time David heard his mother talk like that, he was much irritated, but no matter how he persuaded his mother, she would not listen. In fact, his mother even thought David silly. Therefore, David absolutely did not want his mother to know anything about his illness.

Maisie sat by the bedside, asking, "How do you feel now?"

Despite their mother's preference, they were close all the time.

That David was all alone when he had the surgery tortured Maisie's heart. She even felt sorry for him.

They made a deal to stay here together, settle here together, and work here together so that they could watch out for each other.

But she left because of a man, leaving him alone, even when he was ill.

It seemed Maisie was a bit irresponsible as a big sister.

"The operation went well, and there's only the recovery thing. I'm always strong, so I suppose we can get out in three or four days." He was quite optimistic about his condition.

Then he added, "Right. Where is little Ezio?"

Maisie answered honestly, "I brought him with me."

"You what?" David exclaimed, and winced when accidentally pressed the wound.

Maisie said resignedly, "What are you doing? Do you want to get better or not?"

David was too anxious to care for his own pain, "What if Ezra finds out? Don't you know his father was dying to have a grandson?"

"His father tried to set him up with that Erika Marshall, but somehow they broke up. And now he is trying to set him up with other women, wishing they could get married instantly so that he could have a grandchild while he's alive."

"Best be a boy, or his dying-to-have-a-grandson father would not die peacefully."

"And you brought your son here at this critical moment. Are you…"David was too worried to finish his sentence.

Roman's longing for a grandson was probably something everyone in Riverside city was aware of. It was quite obvious in his attitude towards Ezra when Roman brought back him, an illegitimate child, in a high-profile way regardless of the opposition from Mrs. Cantillo, and made Ezra take over the Canuli.

It was quite a pity that Roman's life-long pursuit should be hindered by his own son, who was not married at this age. Having a grandson was probably impossible for Roman during his lifetime.

But it still depended on his illness. If Roman could hold on for another several year, it would not appear impossible that Ezra would stop being a prodigal son, settle down, get married, and grant Roman what he wanted.

Maisie was rather calm, "I cannot bear to stay away with him for so long."

David spread his hands resignedly, "That's exactly why I did not tell you in the first place. I shall recover whether you come or not."

She insisted, "But I cannot bear to leave you alone."
