"Ma’am, it’s me."
A wide smile appeared on Maisie’s face upon hearing the voice that came from the other end of the call.
"Saydie?"
Saydie had gone to Morwich for almost half a year, saying she had found her biological parents’ whereabouts.
However, Maisie had not been hearing from her for a while now.
She had finally gotten a call from Saydie after such a long time, so long that she was starting to think that Saydie had forgotten about her.
"I’m sorry, Ma’am.It took me so long just to give you a simple call."
"No big deal, as long as you’re safe and sound."
Maisie leaned against the wall.
"How are you doing in Morwich now?"
"I’m fine, don’t worry.And I'll be going back soon."
Maisie was startled.
"Where are you going back to?"
Saydie remained silent for a moment and said, "I’ve found my parents, but...But life’s not as good as I thought it’d be.So, I’ve decided to return to you."
Maisie did not speak.She could hear that Saydie was a taloss.
‘She was looking forward to it when she learned about her biological parents’ whereabouts.
After all, it’s only natural for her to want to meet her biological parents.
‘And now, she’s clearly gotten the chance to meet them, but I guess things didn’t go as expected?’
"If you want to come back, then just come back."
"Ma’am..."
Maisie lowered her gaze and gave off a smile.
"If staying over there makes you feel uncomfortable, you can return at any time.I’ll always leave a door open for you."
Maisie had just ended the call and was about to turn around to go back to the ward when she saw someone familiar.
If she was not mistaken, the figure that passed by the other end of the corridor was Pearl Santiago.
‘Why would Pearl visit the gynecology department? And she’s being followed by two bodyguards who don’t look like they’re protecting her but monitoring her instead...
‘By the way, it seems that I’ve not heard anything about Pearl again ever since her engagement with Tanner was canceled.It’s as if she’s disappeared"
Pear sat on the bed and took off her clothes while the nurse pulled the curtain down to protect her privacy.
After a long time, Pearl had already gotten dressed when the curtain was opened.
"Ms.Santiago, I’m sorry if you find this question a little offensive, but the bruises on your wrist—"
Before the nurse could finish speaking, Pearl had already pulled down her sleeves to cover the bruises.
