Chapter 1273

Maisie nodded.

"Well, I expected this."

Barbara summoned the waiter and continued.

"She’s living in Mr.Hannigan’s apartment now, but I think he’s holding her captive."

She ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, and after the waiter had gone away, she asked, "Aren't you
curious about what she said when I told her that you wanted to see her?"

Maisie was holding a cup of coffee, and she was stunned for a moment.

After a short while, she took a sip from the coffee and asked, "What did she say?"

"She said she doesn’t want to see you."

Seeing the crack on Maisie’s face, Barbara giggled and added, "Alright, alright.I’ll stop messing with
you."

Maisie crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Barbara.

Barbara leaned forward and said with a smile on her face, "It's true that she didn't say she doesn't want
to see you, but she didn't say when either."

Maisie nodded.

"That means she doesn’t want to see me.It’s just that she doesn’t want to say it out explicitly."

Barbara lifted her eyebrows.

"So, why do you want to see her? Do you want to resolve the feud between you and her?"



"Feud? I’ve long gotten over it.We don’t have any feud anymore."

Maisie placed her hand on her forehead.She picked up the spoon and stirred her coffee.

"It’s just that I feel a little sad for her."

Barbara seemed to have seen through Maisie’s mind.

"You just can't bear seeing her in her current situation, right? Although it wasn't your fault in the first
place, if she hadn't thought of setting you up, she wouldn't have ended up in that situation.

However, if she refused to change and continued to harm you, things would've developed differently,
and you wouldn't want to help her today.

"You now feel that you went too far when you took revenge on her, but if you think from another angle,
if you didn't do that, the one who would have lost her reputation wouldn't be her but you.If she hadn't
gone so far when doing that thing, it wouldn't have backfired on her.People in this world are
unpredictable.Someone would hate you for no reason, while other people would let go of their hatred
after some time."

In the past, she hated Katrina even though she was her older sister.

However, she let go of her hatred in the end.

As for Pearl, she used to hate Maisie, but did she still hate her now? Maisie picked up her coffee and
said, "It seems like you've become even wiser after marrying Helios."

Barbara chuckled.

"Well, I learned it from you."

At that moment, Maisie’s phone rang.It was Louis.



After Louis said something to her, she ended the call and picked up her purse.

"Ryleigh is giving birth today.Let's go to the hospital."

Both of them rushed to the hospital.

Outside of the delivery room...

Louis was sitting on the bench, his body leaning forward and his legs wide spread.He clasped his
hands tightly.

The longer he waited, the more tormented he was.

Larissa was pacing in the corridor.

When she saw Maisie, she called out to her, "Maisie."

"Louis, Aunt Larrisa."

She stopped for a moment to catch her breath.

"Ryleigh hasn’t come out yet?"

"Not yet.It has been three hours."

Larrisa was both anxious and worried.

At that moment, they heard a baby's cries in the delivery room.

Louis stood up and walked up to the delivery room.



The nurse opened the door and came out with a smile on her face as she said, "Mrs.Lucas has given
birth to a boy.Congratulations, Mr.Lucas."

Louis was stunned.

"It’s a boy?"

‘But I want a daughter!’ While the nurse was dumbfounded, Larrisa came over and pushed him.

"It doesn’t matter if it’s ason or a daughter.You should hurry up and go check on your wife."

It was only then Louis came around to his senses.

He rushed into the delivery room to check on his wife.

"Ryleigh!"

Ryleigh's face was pale, and she was extremely weak because she had just given birth.

When Louis knelt beside the bed and grabbed her hand, she couldn't help but cry out, "I'll never give
birth again."

"Alright, alright.We're not having any more babies."

Louis wiped the tears off her face and leaned forward t o kiss her forehead.

"You’ve done a great job, Ryleigh."

After that, Ryleigh was pushed back into her ward.

Maisie and Barbara were happy for her since she had finally given birth to her baby.

The nurse and Larrisa brought the baby over and said.



"Come, take a look at your baby."
