Dave had lunch prepared downstairs. The housemaids were sent upstairs and called for Danielle twice, but she had no appetite whatsoever. When Dave saw Karl sitting in the courtyard with a defeated expression, he turned to the housemaid. “Prepare the lunch for the madam and bring it upstairs for he
“Madam, nobody can know what happened between those of the last generation, and none of us can change what has happened. I know this whole thing has been very unfair to you and Mr. Burt, but you have to face the truth. There is simply no other way around it. Danielle put her hands over her face. “I
“No,” Karl rejected her wish without even considering it. “Is this the answer you have for me after you calmed down and thought about it for the entire day?” He continued gravely, “If I had known that you were going to make such an irrational decision, I wouldn't have told you about this in the fir
Karl held her in his arms and shook his head firmly. “I can't, Dan. I can’t do this, I truly cannot.” Why would Danielle want to leave? She reached forward and wrapped her arms around his waist. She had to leave. If she stayed, she would ruin Karl’s life. She sobbed as she spoke, “The baby… I wil
Timothy was still wearing a jersey when he got home. He was just playing basketball with some of his friends at the college. The moment he saw the dark expression Karl wore, he wisely sat down. “Karl, you wanted to see me?” Karl eyed him up and down. A shifty look appeared in Timothy’s eyes. “Di
“It's impossible! Uncle Dylan isn't even married. How could he have a daughter?” “His rumored lover turned out to be Danielle's mother. Do you remember the safe you brought to me the other day? There was a paternity test inside that proved that Uncle Dylan and Danielle are related. Do you believe m
“Sis, you’re putting me in a tough position. I’m here every day. How am I supposed to know what happened to my brother?” Timothy said while putting away the utensils. “I’m done eating. I need to get to class.” “Stop.” Danielle stopped him. “When did you become so enthusiastic about studying anyway?
What was he supposed to do? Go inside and tell her to stop crying for Karl? He could not believe how the romance between Karl and Danielle had somehow gotten to this point. Love was truly a terrifying thing. He told himself to stay away from it altogether for the rest of his life. He went downsta
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
