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.”
