Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1883

Whitney walked cautiously to Maisie's room and coincidentally encountered Daniel, who had just exited.

"How is she?" she asked. Her eyes filled with concern, but there was nothing she could do.

Daniel pulled her aside and whispered, "The doctor mentioned her depression came back."

She was stunned. "What depression?"

"Well…" He hesitated, not wanting to revisit the past, but with Maisie deteriorating, he had to confront it.

"Got it." Whitney nodded, frowning. "I always thought there was more to you two. I thought she only dated you for your money. She's a loyal girl, just like her mom in a relationship!"

"I didn't protect her back then."

"The past is the past. You can't turn back time." She sighed. "But no matter what you do now, give your best to help her through this!"

"I know."

Whitney led Daniel to the study, retrieved a box from the drawer, and handed it to him. "You're my nephew, as close as a son to me. Now that you've found someone you want to spend your life with, I'll give you this."

He paused before opening the box, revealing a diamond bracelet.

The beautiful, clear diamonds sparkled under the light.

He recognized it instantly as the Kinglakes' heirloom.

"Aunt, I..."

"Although you're a Newhouse, your grandfather always treated you as a Kinglake!" She smiled. "You're the Kinglake heir, so your wife should own the heirloom!

A soft moan escaped Maisie's lips, and she curled into a ball, visibly in pain.

Concerned, he asked, "What's wrong, Maisie?"

She awoke from her dream, suddenly sitting up. When she saw Daniel, she remained in a daze, unable to speak for a moment.

"Maisie," he said, holding her hands.

The warmth from his palms provided a sense of security.

"How about we go for a walk?" he suggested.

She nodded, but her eyes remained vacant as if she were a puppet under his control.
