How was it that the man always showed up whenever she was at her worst? As soon as their eyes met, tears rolled down her cheeks. She lowered her head and wiped the tears away, but they would wet her cheeks again. Karl handed her a handkerchief. She took the handkerchief and pressed it against he
Around 11:30 p.m., Karl wrapped up his work and went to the window for a smoke. When he looked down, he could see the grass on the lawn outside Danielle's room illuminated by the light radiating from inside her room. He turned to glance at the clock on the wall, surprised that Danielle was awake a
She glanced at it and shrugged. “I don’t know how to solve it.” “I do. Do you want me to teach you?” She nodded enthusiastically. Karl then patted the spot next to him. “Come here.” Danielle shifted over and sat next to him. He set the book on his lap and picked up the pen she had been nibbling
When Karl went downstairs for breakfast, he turned to Dave and instructed, “Tell Ms. Wendell to come out for breakfast.” Dave informed him, “Ms. Wendell told me something came up at school, so she had to leave earlier.” Karl smirked. ‘Something came up, huh?’It could not be any more obvious that
“You mean the White family?” “Yes, she’s their bastard daughter. The Whites, for their part, have never let any news of them having a bastard daughter slip, and there doesn't seem to be much interaction between Ms. Wendell and the Whites. I’ve looked into her bank account, and it doesn’t seem like
Seeing that Hazel was about to unleash her fury, Danielle reacted quickly by covering her mouth. At the same time, Rochelle shouted back at her, “Hazel, enough of your crap!” That was when Max realized they were hiding something. He turned to Hazel. “Finish what you were about to say.” Hazel sho
Since she did not have any classes that afternoon, she decided to take a shift at a burger place. For the past few days, because her ankle had not completely recovered yet, the store manager was nice to task her to man the cashier and take orders. Around 3 p.m., Noah walked in.As soon as Danielle
Karl’s sudden appearance made Noah's expression darken. Karl smiled. “Ms. Wendell, I’m here to pick you up.” Danielle frowned and shrugged her wrist to get away from Noah’s grip. She turned to Noah and said, “Just go. I have things to do now.” With that, she got into the car without sparing a lo
Danielle coyly laughed it off. “No, she didn’t! Maybe I’m just overthinking it.” “In that case, don’t stress yourself thinking about it. Besides, Brooklyn was just someone that Justin’s family chose for him after they went through the list of candidates and decided that she offered the best. As lon
“I’m just telling the truth.” Karl smirked before prompting, “Alright, I’ll drop it. What was it that she said to you in the past?” “I don’t feel like talking about it anymore.” “What, is it a secret between the two of you that you won’t share with me?” Danielle shot him a look. In addition to sw
Karl followed Justin’s gaze and looked outside the window similarly, then he remarked faintly, “Do you feel like Harmony has become rather different? She’s not in a very good state of mind right now, and I think she will need a therapist when she gets to Miraco.” Justin stared at Harmony for a brie
Danielle relented, “Harmony, the reason he wants you to go back is not that he’s angry at you or anything like that. He's…” “It’s fine, you don’t have to explain. I have thought about it and have decided that I will believe in and listen to whatever he says from now on. I trust him as much as I tru
Danielle wondered what he wanted to discuss with her. What an elegant way to put it. “Sure, what do you want to talk about?” Karl sat up, “I just spoke to Justin on the phone. He says he’s going to Miraco next month to start a new branch there and that he will be there for a few years. I was hopi
As Danielle turned around, she saw Max at the door. She stopped in her tracks briefly before finally walking over. “Are you guys done already?” Max just smiled at her slightly. “Mr. Burt is a concise person.” Danielle replied, “That’s fair. Thank you for saving Karl today.” “Mr. Burt has already
Hearing Max’s name, Karl deliberated briefly before responding, “Dan, why don’t you help them send Harmony back to her ward? In the meantime, you can have Max come in. I have something to say to him.” Danielle got worried. “What do you have to say to him? Let’s just forget about it.” “Don’t worry,
After receiving the news that Karl had woken up, despite just being discharged from the emergency room, Harmony made a fuss about wanting to go see Karl. Timothy was also worried. He agreed with Harmony’s request and brought her to Karl’s ward via wheelchair. Seeing Karl, Harmony burst out in tear
As Danielle said that, tears started rolling down her cheeks, her shaky hands moving towards the call bell. How could Karl not recognize her? Could he have hit his head when he fell? What could she do? What could she do now that the person she loved no longer recognized her? Before she could pre
