Maisie made her way to him and got down on her knees in front of him weakly. There was no telling if
she was scared or something else, “Where did you go, Waylon? How did this happen?”
“I’m sorry, Mommy. It was my fault that Daddy was hurt.”
Waylon’s tone was so calm that it was terrifying. It stunned Maisie for a moment, “What… What
happened t o him?”
Meanwhile, the doctor walked out of the ward, “Who is the family of Nolan Goldmann?”
Maisie stood up fearfully.
On the other hand, Quincy walked over in the meantime. “We’re all his family, May we inquire what
happened to him?”
The doctor had a stern expression. “We’ve already dressed up his wounds and given him a blood
serum injection. It’s fortunate that the snake that bit him isn’t very venomous, or else not even doctors
could save him. We will still need to keep him for observation for two more days to monitor his

‘Nolan was bitten by a venomous snake!?’
Maisie pursed her lips tightly while her face appeared to be rather pale.
“The venomous snake bit Daddy because he was trying to protect me. I would be bitten by the snake if
not for Daddy.” Waylon lowered his head.
Even though he had plotted on his father getting injured, he did not expect that his father would throw
himself on him to shield him from the venomous snake and roll down the hill with him in order not to let
him get hurt.
Waylon raised his head to look at Maisie as if he remembered something. The unyieldingness in his
gaze vanished while he choked on his words. “Mommy, even though I didn’t like Daddy before this, he
saved m e. Is he going to die because of me?”
Waylon had wanted to take a risk, but what should he do if his father were to die because of him?
Maisie wrapped her arms around him. Waylon was sobbing soundlessly in her arms despite barely
shedding a tear in her presence.
Mr. Goldmann Sr. arrived at the hospital in a rush with Colton and Daisie. The old man inhaled sharply
after learning about the situation.
“I’m sorry, Grandpa…” Waylon apologized.
Mr. Goldmann Si. made his way to the front of Waylon, raised his hand, and rubbed Waylon’s head.
“It’s an accident. It’s good that you’re fine.”
Nolan didn’t know how long he had been unconscious, and it was already dark outside when he woke
up again.
He turned around to find Maisie sleeping propped to the bedside and could not help being stunned for
a moment. He pushed himself to sit upright slowly, and the commotion woke Maisie instantly.
She looked at him. “You’re awake.”
“Hmm, where’s Waylon?”
The first words from Nolan were about Waylon.
Maisie looked down. “Waylon is fine. Thank you for saving him.”
Nolan’s gaze changed. “You’re thanking me, huh? Am Ian outsider or the father of the child to you?”

“Forget it. I won’t be hearing anything good from you anyhow, so it’s better for you not to speak.” Nolan
did not want to be infuriated by her. It was better off for him to remain calm and recuperate from his
injuries. Maisie bit her lower lip and remained silent for a short while before she answered, “I know that
you’re the father of the child, and I can see that… you’re good to him.”
“So, haven’t you realized how I’m treating you then?”
“You…” Maisie gnashed her teeth upon noticing Nolan’s fussy expression “I’m talking to you about
serious matters. Don’t divert the topic of conversation again.”
“I don’t want to listen to you talking about something else then.” Nolan turned to his side and laid down
with his back facing her.
Maisie was astounded.
‘Since when did Nolan become so arrogant?’
She stood up. “Nolan, you,”
“I’m hungry.”
Maisie was stunned before she remembered that he had not eaten. Thus, she walked over to the
bedside table where the food tray was. She picked up the tray and made her way to the man with his
back facing her. “You’re starving, right? Eat.”
