Thinking about Daisy having to silently endure hardships and deprivations and having to give birth to Henry alone with no relatives nearby made Axel unable to bear it. Today, he must find out the truth about what happened to Daisy five years ago. No one and nothing can shake Axel's determination.Without bothering to knock on the door or asking for permission, he just opened the door. The sudden noise startled Mr. Thomas out of his contemplative state."I couldn't stop him. Mrs. Hebe said this to her husband with a helpless and apologetic look. "If you still don't want to see him, I'll call security.""No need," Mr. Thomas said hoarsely. "You can leave.""Yes! Excuse me."The woman glanced at her husband, then turned to Axel before retreating backward. Once outside, she didn't forget to close the door with a gentle hand.Axel quickly stepped towards Mr. Thomas, his anger subsiding slightly because Mr. Thomas had finally agreed to meet him.As for Mr. Thomas, he was surprised by Axel's
"Are you alright? The panicked woman exclaimed as she saw Mr. Thomas suddenly slump into his chair. He held his head, truly overwhelmed by the revelation.How could this be possible? Mr. Thomas muttered in disbelief. No one could have anticipated that this could happen. Thomas and Smith unite by having Daisy pregnant with Axel's child. This truth was incredibly hard to accept. Mr. Thomas felt bitterly ironic. As if fate were mocking him.Mrs. Hebe approached, checking if her husband was okay. And then she glanced at Axel; he still stood there silently like a statue, but his demeanor affirmed that what he had just said was entirely true."Now please answer me," he urged impatiently, wanting to end this psychological torment: "Did you know about Daisy's pregnancy back then? What did you do to her?"Mr. Thomas looked up at him with cold, piercing eyes."During those years, you should be grateful that I didn't know anything about you being the father of the child. Otherwise, you'd be serv
A week has passed since the night Axel and Daisy had sex for the first time. Daisy began to feel tired and unwell; her body was not cooperating. Determined to clear her doubts, she decided to undergo a test to uncover the truth. When the test results were revealed, the two clear lines on the pregnancy test shattered Daisy's world. She was pregnant. This wasn't Daisy's plan, and of course, Axel certainly wasn't expecting it either. Because both are still teenagers full of hopes and dreams. That night, they were so overwhelmed by their emotions that they forgot to use birth control.Upon learning about her pregnancy, Daisy faced a monumental decision and a whirlwind of emotions that words could hardly capture. She felt trapped between her education, her life, and deciding the future of the unborn child, making everything even more complex.In the following days, Daisy grappled with uncertainty and doubt. She didn't know whom to confide in or how to tackle the situation. Her emotions ran
Daisy has a premonition that something ominous is about to happen to her. She didn't know what to do but prayed silently, hoping some miracle would come to her or hoping the consequences she had to endure were a little less heavy and cruel. "Daisy, answer me." Mr. Thomas goggled his eyes, shouting a command. However, Daisy continued to remain silent, unable to utter a word. She didn't know what to say, where to start, or how to begin. She was even unsure if she should reveal everything. Daisy feared Mr. Thomas's wrath falling upon her, yet she also worried about Axel getting into trouble. The struggle between rationality and emotion left Daisy exhausted and utterly trapped in a state of helplessness—in a deadlock. With no other choice, Daisy had to go with the flow of nature. To do so, she had to keep her mouth shut and patiently await the right moment. "You're disobedient; you've disgraced your parents. And now you want to defy your father?" Unable to control his emotions, Mr. Th
After soothing Daisy into sleep, Mrs. Hebe left Daisy's room and immediately went to talk to Mr. Thomas. The urgency and gravity of Daisy's situation weighed heavily on Mrs. Hebe, requiring swift resolution to avoid prolonged distress. At this moment, Mr. Thomas was sitting in his study, lost in thought. He seemed to be contemplating Daisy's situation and what she had revealed. Indeed, in Mr. Thomas's assessment, the terrible scenario Daisy described of being assaulted could very well be true. Mr. Thomas was acutely aware that, with his status and position, there would be many envious and resentful individuals who might harbor ill intentions toward him. Moreover, Mr. Thomas was a person of justice and integrity, devoted to upholding the law and strict adherence to it. As a judge for many years and currently serving as the head of the Ministry of Justice, he had encountered numerous attempts to bribe him, seeking his alliance, all of which had failed. He had even punished those attemp
With dreamy eyes, Daisy looked around and finally stopped at Mrs. Hebe's kind face. "Oh, Mom! Daisy exclaimed emotionally, then hugged Mrs. Hebe tightly. "Daisy, what's wrong? Mrs. Hebe doesn't know what happened to Daisy, but instinctively, as a mother, she embraced Daisy, gently stroking her daughter's back, and anxiously asked, "Calm down, Daisy, tell me what's going on." "I'm scared," Daisy confessed tremblingly. "I'm really scared, Mom." "What happened? What are you afraid of? Mrs. Hebe asked tenderly. "I had a nightmare," Daisy choked out. "It's okay with me here. I'll always be by your side," Mrs. Hebe comforted, soothing her daughter's spirits. "It's just a bad dream, and it will pass." Yes. Daisy gradually regained her composure, thanks to the gentle and warm embrace of her mother. A little while later, when Daisy had returned to her normal state, Mrs. Hebe released the hug and smiled. "Daisy, I've finished preparing breakfast. Go to the bathroom, freshen up, and the
"I don't want to, Mom," Daisy courageously said. "Please don't make me take this medicine." Tears streamed down Daisy's face as she thought about her unfortunate situation. She knew her actions were selfish and a betrayal of her parents, but she couldn't do otherwise. While Daisy agonized over the misery fate had dealt her, Mrs. Hebe appeared both reluctant and torn between her love for Daisy and her anger towards her. "Daisy, please listen to Mom. Take the medicine, my dear. It's all for your future and everyone's sake," Mrs. Hebe pleaded, lowering her voice. However, despite Mrs. Hebe's persuasive efforts, Daisy remained resolute, shaking her head. Unable to persuade her further, Mrs. Hebe reluctantly had to force the spoon with the medicine into Daisy's mouth, compelling her to swallow. "Open your mouth, Daisy." Daisy clenched her lips tightly, refusing to open her mouth. She didn't want to harm the innocent life within her. It was innocent. "Daisy," Mrs. Hebe implored, Please
After Mr. Thomas's memory stream ended, Mr. Thomas let an oppressive silence fill the room, his frustration and boredom clearly visible on his face.The intense emotions flooded back and made Mr. Thomas unable to stand anymore. He sank into a swivel chair, facing the window, gazing into the distance. Meanwhile, Axel was dumbfounded, his heart aching with pain when thinking about Daisy. His knees gave way, and he could barely stand on his own. His eyes burned, his throat constricted from shock, and he could only stare blankly at Mr. Thomas. Oh God, what should Axel do? Daisy had made a daring and difficult decision. She had sacrificed so much for him. Yet Axel had once blamed her for being narrow-minded and for not giving him a chance to explain, and she had left him so heartlessly. After what felt like an endless few seconds, Axel finally summoned the courage to speak."Did you let Daisy go like that? Why didn't you keep her? Axel's voice quivered with emotion. He wanted to cry, but h
