Daniel lowered his head. "I've caused trouble for you and Nicholas."
"Don't think of it that way," Linda said gently. "The connections and separations between people are destined. If we
trace it back, I'm the main culprit in this matter. I shouldn't have introduced Maisie to Graham in the first place."
"This time, I've caused you inconvenience," Daniel admitted earnestly. "I confess that what I did was pretty
underhanded, using some unsavory methods. Don't worry. I won't do anything to the Bayers. As for the debts that
Graham owes the bank—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Linda said, "Josiah and Kelly are both reasonable people. It's only right to repay
debts. They'll transfer the money he owes to your bank account in installments."
"In that case, I won't ask for interest," Daniel said.
Linda smiled, her expression a mix of approval and a touch of helplessness.

mistreating Maisie. Even if he's really suffering from a mental breakdown now, it's what he deserves!"
"Alright, you can save a bit of virtue for yourself! You're not a saint either..."
Daniel looked up at Linda. In that brief moment when the siblings locked eyes, they both laughed.
"What's this smell?" Suddenly, Maisie's voice came from inside the house.
Daniel was taken aback and quickly turned around, only to find Maisie, clad in pajamas and slippers, hurrying into
the kitchen.
Daniel had also noticed the unusual smell.
"Oh, it's burnt!" Maisie exclaimed, frantically turning off the stove and using a rag to lift the lid of the pot.
"What's this?"
"I made carrot and beef brisket..." Daniel was anxious and frustrated. He had finally decided to show off his cooking
skills in front of her, and now...
"You forgot to add water, didn't you?" Maisie wrinkled her nose. "The carrots are all roasted!"
"Water?" Daniel was momentarily stunned and quickly pulled out his phone to check the recipe.
All the other ingredients were there, but he had really forgotten to add water!
Seeing how he was sweating, Maisie chuckled. "Mr. Quimby, you were simmering on low heat the whole time
without adding water or keeping an eye on it. Of course, it's going to burn!"
"Oh..."
"Alright, alright, get out of here!" Maisie playfully pushed him out. "I'll take care of this. You're not great in the
kitchen."
"I can do it, I—"
"Get out!" Maisie pushed him out with a chuckle and began cleaning up the aftermath easily.

Linda watched from a distance with a smile, closed the apartment's door, and left quietly.
She had already seen that Daniel was now living a very happy life and believed he wouldn't repeat the same
mistakes as in the past.
Linda walked downstairs and remembered that Lina's prenatal check-up was today. She called Lina but heard a
slightly anxious tone on the other end of the line. "Mom, things are a bit chaotic on my end... Can I call you back in
a bit?"
"What's happened?" Linda frowned. "Pammy, what's going on over there? Don't scare me!"
"It's not me!" Lina sighed. "Zuko accompanied me to the prenatal check-up today, but we ran into Toph and Arya at
the hospital. We thought something had happened to them, but it's... It's Graham."
"Huh? What's wrong with Graham?"
"Graham got beaten up," Lina said, sounding worried. "Mom, I can't explain it all right now. Graham's still in the
emergency room. I'll call you once things get better!"
