Maisie turned to look at Ezra in astonishment. But she only saw him staring at her back and saying, "I'm bleeding. Didn't you see it?"
"His last punch hit me directly in the face." Ezra covered his face with Maisie's handkerchief. Ezra complained, "When we were fighting in the hotel, he also punched me in my chest. Now I feel that my ribs might have broken. I have to go to the hospital for an X-ray."
David was confused by Ezra. It was just like the guilty party filing a suit first, to pre-empt action by the victim.
This time, David started the fight first, but at the hotel, Ezra started it first. As soon as he saw Ezra, David was punched. Now Ezra actually said it was David who started all of this! Didn't he feel ashamed?
Besides, Ezra actually pretended to be so pitiful and innocent! Asshole!
David scolded, "Ezra, are you shameless?"
After scolding, David glanced at the handkerchief in Ezra's hand. He was so mad that he wanted to beat Ezra again.
Maisie, who came to her sense, pinned him down, "Easy, man."
David gritted his teeth in anger and glared at Ezra before turning his eyes away. Because he had done something wrong to make Maisie angry, David didn't want to disobey Maisie again, and then he stopped.
Maisie turned to look at Ezra, and said very politely, "If you feel that you are seriously injured, then go to the hospital. We will pay for the medical expenses."
No matter which of them started it first, David indeed beat him anyway. If his ribs were really broken, Maisie and David should cover his medical expenses.
David was dissatisfied with her words, but he pursed his lips in silence. However, the look in his eyes was about to kill Ezra.
David didn't expect that Ezra was still not satisfied. Ezra looked at Maisie and said, "That's it? No one takes me to the hospital for the checkup?"
David roared, "Ezra, you're digging your own grave! You know that?"
Ezra clearly wanted Maisie to take him to the hospital. This was a fucking harassment!
Maisie yelled at David, "David!"
Seeing that David couldn't calm down, Maisie simply pulled him aside.
She lowered her voice and said earnestly to David, "Do you think you can offend someone like Ezra?"
"He just didn't hold you accountable because we knew him before and for the sake of Mr. Julian. Otherwise, wouldn't he let you go?"
"If you really annoy him, neither of us can take the consequences!"
"He is rich and the lead of the Cantillo family, but who are we? He can crush us like crushing the ants."
Ezra looked at the siblings who were whispering beside him. He deeply felt that he was somebody from the outside.
She really didn't miss their previous relationship at all?
Until now, she hadn't looked at him at all, let alone cared about his injuries.
In the face of Maisie's persuasion, David pursed his lips and said nothing.
He knew Maisie was right. It was easy for Ezra to deal with them.
Maisie raised her hand to look at the watch on her wrist, and then explained to David, "I'll drive you guys to the hospital later. He has to do a checkup. You have to do it, too."
David stopped her, "Go to deal with your business. Isn't he going to the hospital for an X-ray? I'll take him. We can just take a taxi."
David saw through Ezra's trick – Ezra intended to approach Maisie. This time David wouldn't let Ezra have any chance to pester his sister, so he rejected Maisie's proposal to drive them to the hospital.
"Alright," Maisie nodded in response. Then they returned to Ezra.
