Of course, Nancy didn't tell Ezra and Maisie how she irritated Roman, lest it would induce some unnecessary trouble.
If Ezra were not Roman's son, she would have told him clearly, let alone allowed Ezra to fight over the property of the Cantillos.
Roman had been in a bad situation, and this time he was sent to ICU directly.
Shaking his head and heaving a sigh, the doctor told Ezra, "Mr. Cantillo cannot stand any irritation indeed."
"He was supposed to live for a year or so if he kept nursing his disease properly. However, since his disease was diagnosed, he has been irritated by various kinds of problems. During this period, he has fallen into a stupor so many times which drained his energy."
The recuperation after a major operation was very important, especially mental.
Roman didn't do it well obviously.
But he deserved it, having no one to blame. He just repaid his debts.
As Roman was sent to ICU, few people could visit him. And then the trio left the hospital.
On the way home, Maisie had a little concern that Nancy would feel sad again after meeting Roman, thereby asking, "Nancy, are you ok?"
Nancy patted her hands consolingly and smiled, "I'm good."
The bad guy was in ICU.
Maisie saw that Nancy was not upset indeed and suggested, "Have a rest at home later."
"Sure," Nancy answered gently.
However, it puzzled Maisie that Ezra told her his mother was not that healthy, thus they should pretend to be a sweet couple so that his mother wouldn't worry much about them.
But now, it seemed that her physical fitness was not bad.
As they arrived home, Nancy lived in one of the bedrooms specially prepared for her on the second floor. And the baggage of Maisie and her son was packed up to the third floor by Daisy.
While Nancy went upstairs to take a bath and rest, Ezra planned to go to the grocery store with Maisie. At the same time, their son had to cling to them. Initially, Maisie didn't want to take him because he was too young and needed holding in her arms all the way. He could actually sit in the grocery cart, but it couldn't last for long.
Nevertheless, Ezra decided to take the little boy, "I will hold him all the way."
Maisie cast a glance at him, thinking he just pampered the child too much.
Ezra puzzled, with the boy in his arms, "What's wrong?"
"I think there is no need to indulge him. It is not convenient because what we are going to buy is not a few." Answered Maisie.
Ezra raised his eyebrow and pondered—did she blame him for spoiling their son?
Almost without hesitation, he handed over his boy to Daisy. Then he looked at Maisie and said, "You are the boss."
Both Maisie and Daisy were in silence.
The little boy felt more confused. After he knew it, he then pouted aggrievedly, about to cry out.
Presumably, he didn't understand at all why his father just decided to take him but then left him at home in a second.
Ezra turned to look at him, pinched his little face, and apologized, "Sorry, my little man. You'd better stay at home. Papa and mama have so much stuff to buy that we can hardly take good care of you."
