"Maisie!" Daniel yearned to embrace her, but she suddenly exhibited unexpected strength, a stark contrast from her usual delicacy, fiercely struggling in his arms.
Maisie's eyes were red, her hair disheveled, and she screamed like a mad woman, presenting an extremely terrifying image.
"It's Camila's doing! It must be her!"
Daniel was bewildered. "What are you saying?"
Before he could react, Maisie delivered a resounding slap across his face.
Daniel froze, feeling the fiery pain on one side of his face. The hatred in her eyes surged like turbulent waves as if it would consume him.
"Maisie—"
"Bastards! All of you are a bunch of bastards!" Maisie lost her sanity, unleashing a barrage of kicks and punches.
"Maisie, calm down a bit!"
"Get away!" Maisie pointed at him, her voice trembling. "You people are too cruel... None of you Quimbys are decent people!"
"What?"
"Do you all just love harming other people's children?!" Maisie hysterically shouted, losing her balance and fainting.
The hotel lobby instantly descended into chaos.
Daniel hastily carried her into the elevator and took her back to the room.

He stood on the balcony, and there was a moment when he felt he was unable to hold on anymore. It was like the time when he learned that Linda had fed Maisie that drug and taken her to Centrolis. His feelings were contradictory and complex.
That drug was a specially formulated drug jointly developed by several countries, specifically used to deal with special forces and spies.
Once captured and faced torture by the enemy without being able to transmit information back to their home country, special forces or spies would have to swallow this drug to erase all their own memories.
Since it was secretly developed, the only person who could obtain such a drug was the former special forces member of the Hamertons, Chris. Linda had obtained it from him at that time.
When Daniel learned all of this, Maisie had already taken the medicine and fallen into a deep sleep.
There was a moment when Daniel hated Linda to the core. What right did she have to manipulate his and Maisie's lives? What right did she have to erase their past?
However, Linda had said, "Do you really want to see her crazy for the rest of her life? Holding a pillow every day and treating it as your child, unable to even take care of the most basic aspects of her own life... Is that what you want to see?!"
