Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1745

"Some people are just so lucky!" Someone sighed. "So young and already someone's in-law. If you ask me, we should all find a wealthy old man!"

"Haha, can you find one? If you can, you won't have to keep suffering here by revising manuscripts!"

"Hahaha..."

Maisie pushed her coffee aside and quickly got up to leave.

Stepping out of the coffee shop, she took a deep breath, feeling as if a large stone was stuck in her heart. She began to doubt whether she should have entered this line of work. If she were still in Centrolis, back in that kindergarten, perhaps life would be much more comfortable...

Maisie shook her head, quickly dispelling these cowardly thoughts. Coming to Cumulus City was a decision she had made with Daniel. Besides, who could expect everything to go smoothly? If she retreated at the first setback, not only would she look down on herself, but Daniel might also lose faith in her.

Maisie forced a smile to encourage herself.

At that moment, a shout suddenly echoed. "Quick, call an ambulance! There's a pregnant woman here!"

Maisie was startled. Not far away, a crowd had gathered at a street corner. A pregnant woman was lying on the ground, sweating profusely in pain.

Maisie managed to figure out what had happened by listening to the discussions among the crowd.

"Ah, such a young girl. And so pretty. Why be someone's mistress?"

"It's a mess. Her belly is getting big, and the man doesn't want to take responsibility."

"Yeah, I heard her negotiating with that guy just now. It didn't work out, and the man left her behind, so she..."

Maisie's heart clenched. The blood under the girl, the glaring red color of it, seemed to pierce a corner of her memory.

"H-Help..." the girl cried in pain. "Save me!"

Maisie felt like she had been struck on the head, her mind going blank for a moment.

She paid the surgery fees, the hospitalization fees, acting like a family member waiting anxiously outside the emergency room. However, she didn't understand why she was doing this. She only felt a headache, the pain spreading from her head to her chest. Her heart felt as if it were being crushed.

The doctor walked out of the operating room and, seeing the distressed expression on Maisie’s face, asked, "Are you a family member?"

"I..." Maisie only came to her senses then, looking at the doctor as though she had just woken from a dream. "I'm not."

"Where is her family?"

"I... don't know," Maisie said softly. "I'm just a passerby. I saw her lying on the ground, so I brought her to the hospital."

The doctor looked thoughtful. "People as helpful as you are rare nowadays."

"How is she?"
