"Maisie…" Emelia hugged Maisie and burst into tears. She felt so sad for Maisie, especially thinking of what she had gone through alone these days.

Maisie cried too.

She had been forcing herself to hold on. It was hard, exhausting. Great nausea brought by the pregnancy was unbearable.

Maisie felt much better after crying in Emelia's arms. It took away a lot of her negative emotions.

After crying for a while, Emelia asked Maisie with reddened eyes, "Does Julian know about this?"

"No, he doesn't." Maisie shook her head. "Luckily, I'm thin enough. He didn't notice anything last time he came here."

"And I don't want him to know. Can you keep this between us?"

Maisie didn't dare to tell Julian because he and Ezra were friends.

Emelia nodded seriously. "I will keep it a secret, I promise that I'll always be by your side."

Maisie looked at the time and said, "I guess Mr. Hughes is about to finish the talk with Old Mr. McBride, we should get back now."

Emelia stopped her. "The doctor said you should stay in bed and rest. So go home. I'll tell Julian that you are suffering from period pain. He won't doubt."

"Thank you, then." Maisie couldn't care much about Julian now.

The child was important to her. She couldn't lose it.

Emelia watched Maisie get in the taxi and then returned to Old Mr. McBride's ward.
