Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1781

Maisie's hand trembled slightly, but she didn't pull away. She allowed him to hold her hand, letting the warmth of his palm seep gently into her heart, much like the morning sun illuminating her world.

After breakfast, the two of them reached the villa on the outskirts. They wiped the small tombstone clean and placed a beautiful bouquet of daisies in front of it.

Maisie looked up, and the sky seemed bluer than ever. She smiled gently and took a deep breath, realizing that life should involve subtraction. Letting go didn't mean forgetting, but traveling light to keep moving forward.

"You know, I still have the prenatal examination report." Maisie spoke softly. "Because there's a photo on it... Even though it's not clear, you can see the eyes and nose."

Daniel's heart skipped a beat. He quietly moved closer to her, his broad shoulders enveloping her petite frame like a tender haven.

"What did she look like?"

"That's hard to describe." Maisie chuckled softly. "Fetal babies probably look similar, but I think daughters resemble their fathers. She might have looked a lot like you if she had been born."

Daniel felt a pang of sadness. "Maisie, back then... how did you manage the prenatal checks?"

"I went to a small clinic," she answered calmly. "I was afraid you'd insist on me terminating the pregnancy, so I hid and didn't dare to go to big hospitals. They require records and IDs, and with your capabilities, it'd be easy to find me..."

"Can those small clinics be trusted?"

"The equipment wasn't great." Maisie smiled. "Conditions were quite basic, but it was enough to check if the baby was healthy."

How had she survived during that time?

Daniel wanted to ask more but hesitated. Actually, he knew the answer—when Owen confessed everything, he had told him.
