Chapter 987: Follow the Heart
Phil asked Dr. Choffard to examine Lorie thoroughly. "I was worried that her chance to recovery might
be greatly reduced after Anya's going abroad." Dr. Choffard smiled.
"But now it seems that it could help if you come and talk to her frequently.
"Are you sure?" Phil laughed at himself. "I'm afraid that she does not like me here, so my visit could
only work against her recovery."
"But isn't it true that you've been visiting her for several years?" Dr. Choffard smiled again
"We as medical staff are not her relatives after all. We can't talk to her like you do."
What Dr. Choffard implied was that Phil was a relative of Lorie due to his marriage with Anya for four
years. And he also knew Phil was still missing Anya despite their divorce.
Dr. Choffard and his colleagues knew how Phil spoiled Anya these years. They might guess Phil was
not the one asking for a divorce.
"All right." Phil laughed interestingly at Dr. Choffard's remarks.
No matter what kind of opinion Lorie held toward him, his function worked better than that of any
stranger.
"So we could count you as our help." Dr. Choffard became confident of her recovery with the
assistance of Phil."
Nancy had to leave after Anya's departure. Maisie just didn't want her to leave.
"I can be back soon after I get those things done." Nancy also didn't want to go.
How could she be willing to leave her family with her son, daughter-in-law and a cute and handsome
grandson around her? Especially such a daughter-in-law as Maisie, whom she liked more and more.
She cherished every moment with them because it was inconceivable that that kind of happiness could
find its way to her.
Nancy spent most of her time at home. Sometimes she would push a baby carriage and have a walk
with her grandson on the square and bath themselves in the sunlight.
But when she came out the other day and returned home, she was somewhat distracted or absent-
minded.
Ezra and Maisie both detected it because Nancy barely had dinner that day.
"Maybe I should go check?" Maisie turned to Ezra and asked.
"Of course." Ezra trusted her one hundred percent. Now, he was the least important one in the family
— Maisie got well with Nancy as if she was her biological daughter and he was someone else.
Maisie told Ezra to take care of their son after dinner while she made a plate of fruit holing it upstairs
and entering Nancy's room.
Maisie and Ezra became oddly more intimate after going through the tragedy of Phil and Anya. There
were ups and downs in their relationship, but not like Phil and Anya. That was the reason they began to
love each other more.
After their reunion, Ezra was the one showing his affection and being positive and enthusiastic while
Maisie kept her distance from Ezra. She did not bare herself in front of him, acting cautiously in their
regained relationship.
The breakup of Anya with Phil made her less inhibited and cherished Ezra more and more. Ezra was
therefore over the moon recently.
He knew for sure the reason of her change. He always sighed that his happiness was based on the
tragedy of his bro and it made him a little guilty.
Maisie entered Nancy's room with her permission when she gazed into the distance through the
window at night.
"Is there anything upsetting today when you are out? Maisie put the fruit plate down and went ask
softly. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Sorry, I didn't manage my temper well." Nancy laughed embarrassingly.
"We just want you to know that what upsets you bothers us too and we are always there." Maisie went
hug her affectionately.
"It's nothing upsetting after all. It's just I met an old friend." Nancy sighed.
"An old friend?" The quick-minded Maisie figured out immediately, but she thought it was incredible.
"Is he the one you…" Maisie hesitated.
Ezra once told Maisie about Nancy's past — Nancy admired someone before falling into trap of Ezra's
father. But when she had sex with Roman on that night, she thought she was beneath the one she
admired, thus gradually forced to forget him.
Afterwards, Nancy went abroad and lost contact with him completely.
"Yes, it's him," Nancy told Maisie the whole story. "He actually contacted me when I came back from
abroad and got exposed, but I did not want get inappropriately involved with him because I supposed
he certainly had his own family then.
"But he insisted on contacting me so I knew he was set up with a girl when he was young. However,
they were both in bad health. Her wife died several years after their marriage without giving birth to any
children.
"Then he became more and more disappointed in relationship, being single all these years."
"He told me he was never over me — he was badly sick when I left him without saying goodbye. He got
married because of some pressure. And he did not want to have any relationship with any other woman
since he became single again."
"I didn't see that coming because I had thought he would look down upon me after what happened
between me and Roman. So I left him, with inferiority and without goodbye." Nancy sighed.
"I had thought that he totally forgot me, but he…"
Nancy seemed upset. "So he is actually pursuing you now?" Maisie laughed.
"Yeah," Nancy seemed embarrassed. "But I do not want to get into any romance at my age now."
There were lots of man wanting to ask her out abroad, and still so at home, but she turned them all
down because she didn't want to have another relationship anymore.
Safety for the rest of her life was all she wanted.
Relationship hurt, and she didn't want it at all.
Moreover, people would judge if she had another relationship at her age, especially now her son and
her daughter-in-law were in the spotlight. She didn't want others to point the fingers at them.
"If someone could keep you accompany, Ezra and I would be more than happy." Maisie said softly.
Nancy did not have reason to abandon their relationship at all. After all, he was the one she admired
when she was young, otherwise she wouldn't be so distracted.
Maisie also knew what Nancy scrupled to do — she might be afraid that Ezra and she would have an
opinion of their relationship.
But she and Ezra wished her to be happy more than anyone. They missed out on each other for their
own difficulties when they were young, but now they could be reunited under all these circumstances.
So, just follow the heart.
