Hearing Maisie's words, Roman could hardly say anything for a while. He met her and had a few words with her when she took care of David in this hospital last time. Maisie talked to Roman in a confident and calm manner, too. She seemed to be gentle and soft, but in fact, she was hard and strong-minded.

Suddenly Roman understood why Ezra couldn't nail her. The more Maisie kept calm and quiet, the more difficultly she was seen through and dealt with.

But his beloved grandson whom he missed very much was in Maisie's hands now, so Roman would rather give up his pride.

Roman said to Maisie again, "Anyway, the rocky history between us has nothing to do with my grandson. I want to talk with you about him, and that's why I called you today."

Full of derision and contempt, Maisie chuckled on the phone, "Mr. Cantillo, how could you say there was nothing to do with you? You know, the kid came to the world just because your son and I had sex, right?"

Roman choked with rage again.

Seldom could he expect that Maisie was so hard to deal with. She shut the old man's mouth with just a few words.

Maisie, an awkward woman in his eyes, was so arrogant and aggressive to Roman.

But he couldn't become angry. Exactly speaking, he dared not to do so.

That was a great irony and humiliation to him.

Sighed heavily, he said in a rather humble way, "Maisie, can you please allow me to see my grandson? You know I am a dying man now. I beg you, please."

As numb as she was, Maisie said, "Mr. Cantillo, I got lots of abrasions and soft tissue contusions because of the car accident. But to protect Ezio in my belly, I refused to take any medicine. Although those were superficial wounds, they brought me sharp pain."

What Maisie said was true. The unbearable pain made her cry during the first few days.
