Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1681

Daniel's expression was imposing.

Nina noticed it and spoke cautiously. "Mr. Quimby, please don't be angry. It's my fault for not supervising properly, which allowed someone like her into my office. Rest assured that she won't appear in the hospital anymore."

Hazel burst into tears upon hearing those words, practically begging, "Dr. Perkins, please don't dismiss me. If I lose this job, I can't go back home.

"I had no choice! My mom said my little brother needed a new computer for college, and they kept asking me for money. But my internship pay is so low. Even if I don't eat or drink, I can't afford to buy him a computer all at once!"

Nina frowned and looked at Daniel.

Hazel crawled closer to Daniel. "Mr. Quimby, please give me one more chance! It was a momentary lapse of judgment. I promise I won't dare to do anything against Ms. Squire anymore. Mr. Quimby, please have mercy on me. I know I was wrong."

Daniel's stern face was difficult to read. He looked down at Hazel and suddenly thought about Maisie's family.

They, too, had a patriarchal attitude, treating their daughter as an ATM and pushing her down a hopeless path.

However, Hazel was luckier than Maisie. She was, at least, free, unlike Maisie, whose biggest calamity in life was encountering him.

Daniel took a deep breath before exhaling slowly, and a glimmer of something unidentifiable flickered in his eyes. He said coldly, "You can stay."

As if granted a pardon, Hazel remained dumbfounded in place.

"But!" Daniel emphasized, "If you breathe a word about today's events to anyone, you know the consequences."

"I won't! I won't!" Hazel repeatedly shook her head. "Mr. Quimby, rest assured! Nothing happened today, and I won't have any contact with Mr. Bayer anymore."

"Is Graham Bayer still in the hospital?" he asked.

"What?"

Hazel didn't immediately comprehend, so Nina gave her a nudge and signaled her with her eyes.

As long as Daniel didn't hold her accountable for her actions, she would have to work for him. Furthermore, she could only stay at the hospital feeling assured by working for him.

"No... he's gone," Hazel answered truthfully. "His wounds from his fight have already healed. The doctors advised him to stay a little longer, but he insisted on going home, and they didn't dare to stop him. "However, he comes to the hospital every other day because he needs his dressings changed."

"So, he'll still come to see you?"

"Mr. Quimby, please rest assured. I won't engage in any more deals with him."

"I'm not talking about that..." Daniel smirked as he said lightly, "The next time he approaches you, just let me know the time and place."

He wanted to meet Graham personally and make him understand that trying to scheme behind his back would only lead to a dead end.

Arya called Maisie and invited her out for a meal at the same private restaurant they had visited before. It was still the same beautiful and peaceful place where the owner and customers chatted happily, and the food, made from ordinary ingredients, still had an astonishing flavor.
