Chapter 523

Maisie looked at him and said feebly, “I’m still thinking about it. Why do you Kents work so hard to get
Prince Roger and those nobles to value you as much as possible? It’s because your whole family has
very low self-esteem by nature as your ancestors settled down by acquiring another family’s property.

“Your ancestors weren’t even the Kents by blood, nor were they the descendants of generations and
generations of wealthy merchants. They were only ordinary people who slipped across the borders and
into the country.

“The de Armas are the genuine nobles among the two families, while the Kents aren’t. You want to be
valued, so you have to develop a drug for the royal family to relieve them from sickness, cancers, or
even death. That’s the true meaning of your existence, isn’t it?”

Daniel was rendered speechless and coughed out a huge mouthful of blood.

She scoffed. “Daniel Kent, this is what you deserve. You told me that life’s a gamble. That’s right, I
deliberately asked Saydie to cover me as I ran away, but it was actually a gamble. I was betting on the
fact that you only wanted me.”

She slowly removed the ring. The red light that was blinking on the interior wall of the ring was a

miniature tracker.

“And I’ve won in this gamble.”

Several police cars completely surrounded the Kent mansion.

On the day the underground laboratory was exposed, the whole perimeter of the mansion was crowded
with reporters, furiously reporting the fact that the virus was being used by someone for secret research..



The virus epidemic that had broken out back then quickly made headlines on Google Trends and other
major media outlets. And the few days that followed the incident, citizens had been gathering outside of
Stoslo’s Parliament Building to protest against the government personnel who were related to the
incident but concealed the truth about the virus all these years.

Even on the day of the election, the scene was intercepted by too many protesters, and the people who
originally supported Prince Roger also began to turn against him.

Protests that rose from all over Stoslo could be described as quite intense.

In the hospital, at the Intensive Care Unit…

The lines shown on the electrocardiogram fluctuated stably, and Maisie was lying on the hospital bed
with a n oxygen mask on as her eyelashes trembled slightly.

She gradually regained consciousness, opened her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eyes was the
white ceiling above her.

Feeling the sweat and warmth in her palms, she turned her head and saw Nolan resting beside the bed
while holding her hand.

She removed her oxygen mask, sat up slowly, leaned slightly toward him, and reached out to gently
stroke his hair.

Nolan suddenly grabbed her wrist, woke up out of shock, and raised his head. “Zee?”

He got up immediately and took her into his arms.

The boulder that had been sitting on top of his heart had finally been removed as he kissed her at the top
of her head. “Zee, you finally woke up.”



Maisie rested her chin on his shoulder, leaned languidly against his body, and wrapped her arms around
his waist. “Yeah, how long have I been out?”

He replied hoarsely. “Five days.”

Having said that, he let go of her, grabbed her arms, and gave her a serious look. “Why did you put
yourself at such a huge risk? Do you know that you almost killed yourself!?”

If she had stayed in the gas for seconds longer, or if his men had not arrived in time, the consequences
would have been unimaginable. Staring at his ferocious appearance, Maisie grinned, placed her hands
against his cheeks, and coaxed him.

“That’s because I have faith in you, Nolan. So don’t be angry, aren’t I fine now?”

Nolan’s indifferent face looked tense, and he did not feel like talking to her.

“Nolan!” Maisie grabbed his hand, “Noles! Noles! Hubby! Ummm!” Her lips were sealed by a damp,
warm, and soft sensation.

Maisie lowered her eyelashes and wrapped her arms around his neck. Probably because she
accidentally moved the needle on her inner elbow, she gasped in pain.

Nolan frowned, pushed her back down onto the bed, and said with a reluctant tone, “Look at the
condition that you’re in, you should behave.”

“You’re the one who kissed me first.” Maisie’s brows looked smug.

Nolan stared at her, and nobody could tell whether he was delighted or vexed.

Maisie remembered something all of a sudden and asked, “Where’s Daniel?”

Nolan sat back in his chair. “He didn’t survive the incident.”
