Ezra stayed in Riverside for one day with a tormented heart. So, he bought a ticket and flew to Grafstin the next morning,
He decided to accept his fate.
He missed his son, as well as his coldhearted lady.
Although Maisie always ignored him or seldom had a friendly manner toward him, Ezra still couldn't help going to see her.
The moment he landed in Grafstin and settled down in a hotel, something terrible happened, which he didn't expect.
Ezra gave Maisie a call before he went to her home, but he couldn't get through.
A bad foreboding appeared in his heart. It was true Maisie was very cold to him, but she would answer his call every time. If it was not convenient, for example, when she was in a meeting, Maisie would hang up first and then send a short message, telling him why she couldn't answer his call.
But Ezra couldn't get through no matter how many times he tried. What he heard was nothing but the long beeps on the other end.
Ezra turned to call Daisy. Daisy answered his call with a trembling voice, "Mr. Cantillo, we are now in the hospital with Ezio. Please just make a long story short."
Not knowing Ezra had returned to Grafstin, Daisy thought he was still in Riverside, so she asked Ezra to brief the story.
Ezra's heart suddenly sank.
"What's the matter?" he asked anxiously.
Before Daisy answered, he added, "Tell me which hospital you are in first, and I'll be there soon."
"You are in Grafstin? That's great! "Daisy was about to cry, and then told him what had happened, "Ezio's head was broken, and we took him to the hospital for treatment."
"What?" Ezra was shocked and heartache.
Daisy then told Ezra which the hospital they were in. Ezra rushed out, stopped a taxi, and rushed to the hospital.
On his way to the hospital, Daisy bleated to him what had happened.
That morning after breakfast, Maisie went to work as usual while she stayed at home to take care of Ezio.
Not long afterward she heard someone knocking at the door. Daisy opened the door, finding it was an elderly lady. Before Daisy asked who she was, the lady pushed her aside and rushed into the room, shouting, "Where is Maisie?"
Daisy didn't know the lady was Maisie's mother for she had never seen her before. Holding Ezio in arms, Daisy hurried into the house and said warily, "Who are you?"
That elderly lady replied arrogantly, "I am Maisie's mom, Susan."
Daisy knew Maisie's mother was not a kind person, because of who Maisie had suffered a lot when she was young. Daisy said in a lukewarm way, "She's out for work. What's the matter?"
But her cold manner enraged Susan, who shouted at her, "How dare you talk to me like this? You are just a nanny. How dare you give me a cold shoulder?
Daisy was stunned by her illogical words and behaviors for a second. Then she said calmly, "Yes, I am just a nanny, but the person who pays me is Maisie, so I will be nice to her only."
"Shameless!" Susan cried as she rushed to hit Daisy. To prevent Ezio from being hurt, Daisy had to put him into the baby trolley and then tried to stop Susan's attack by herself alone.
Daisy never expected that Susan was so rude and despicable that she would attack her suddenly. Not as fierce as Susan, she didn't have the ship hand.
