After Danielle had some fruits in her room, she took a shower and read for half an hour. Then, she heard footsteps on the stairs. She put down the book, got out of bed, and ran to the door. She put her ear against the door, listening to the movements on the other side. She had only just pressed he
“Do you want me to call in sick for you tomorrow?” “Call in sick?” Danielle gestured to her arms. “Just because of this?” “What else? If you work with a hand like that, you’ll get an infection.” Danielle was speechless. “I’m not doing some kind of hard labor, and I’m not in contact with water whi
But… how was that possible? She thought about the aura she wielded during the confrontation yesterday. It did not occur to her that she was sick. Ava observed her arm and asked with concern, “Danielle, is your arm okay?” Kate brought up rapidly, “I heard that you had a confrontation with the dean
While she was letting her thoughts run wild, the voices of several other counselors who were discussing something in used voices nearby seeped into her ears. “By the way, Mr. Gray didn't come to school today either.” “I heard about it too. I think it’s because he knows that after his mother resign
Danielle nearly jumped and whispered, “What are you doing?” “Let me remind you that some things are easier to do when you’re in a dark place.” He put his arm around her shoulders, then tilted his head sideways and kissed her on the cheek, “You sure chose a good place. I'm very satisfied.” Danielle
Danielle was glad that it was pitch-black inside the restaurant. Thanks to the darkness, she could speak to him without having to shift her gaze around frantically. Upon noting Danielle’s silence, Karl cocked a look at her and remarked, “You’re always running away from the question, but there are
… It was rather late when Karl returned. Danielle sat halfway into the bed and was staring at the door. After some time passed, there was still no movement at the door. It sounded like Karl had gone back to his room. Perhaps… he was angry. After all, he must have never been constantly rejected
There were dozens of offices down the corridor, but... the footsteps stopped right at Danielle’s office. She was beyond frightened. That was when she heard a knock on the door. She covered her mouth and nearly shrieked out of fear. That was when she heard the same knock again. She removed her h
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
