Ezra protested, "I can help you to wheel the cart and carry what you buy."
Maisie was going to tell him that she could do everything, but she simply nodded due to his countenance that showed his persistence, "Well, let's go together then."
Maisie was never a spoiled girl who had been paddling her own canoe for all these years. Even though she had her boy, she could cope with trivial problems by herself, it seemed that Ezra's help was not so necessary.
At the same time, Maisie didn't want to argue with him over this issue in the corridor, and then she simply went along with Ezra.
In the ward, as Nancy entered, the caregiver soon left the ward after helping Roman lie propped against the pillow. He had an unusually bad complexion. Since he was in the hospital, a sequence of events did run out of his strength and energy.
He lay on the bed weakly with a glum look on his face, but no sooner did he see the lean woman coming in the door than his eyes glowed with pleasure. After that pleasure turned to consternation.
Roman never thought that Nancy who showed up right in front of him could be so gorgeous, elegant, and vigorous. When he insisted on taking Ezra from her in previous years, her complexion wasn't anything like as good as the present.
Anyways, she was beautiful. Her beauty and elegance attracted him so much that he fell in love with her at the first sight.
She might even be the only woman who made him heart-throbbing. He thought he loved her with the marrow of his bones, but she always kept herself aloof from him. Thus, after sleeping with her, he gave up getting along with her due to his male dignity.
At that time, he reckoned that he could have sex with any woman he wanted because of his supreme status. Why should he have to badger her and bear her indifference and mockery? Hence, he allowed Diana to expel her who had been pregnant.
Lots of women slept with him and most of them had babies for him, but unexpectedly, only Nancy delivered a boy…
"Nan…" Roman tried hard to call her name.
"You just shut up." Nancy interrupted him directly, with her face full of repugnance.
She gave no respect to him at all, showing her aversion extremely. The reason why she acted like this was that he used to call her "Nancy" which made her stomach flip.
She was unwilling to be disgusted at such an age, leaving Roman who could hardly say something speechless with a light of depression in his eyes.
However, Nancy just knew what his inner thought was at a glance and walked to the foot of the bed, "Why do you have such an expression of being hurt? Do you think that what I just say was not that pleasant?"
"Why did you never know how depressed I was when you ruined my life?"
"Why did you never know how depressed the women whom you played with were?"
After gulping air on the bed, Roman finally forced a word, "Sorry…"
"I…I want to see you because I want to say sorry to you."
This was exactly how he felt. He wanted to be forgiven before his death, leaving no regret. After all, she was whom he missed so much.
"I do not and will not accept it," Nancy replied without hesitation, "even if you die, I will keep cursing you."
Roman froze there. He could feel the hate from Nancy which had gone to the marrow and followed with a feeling of great inner sorrow.
