“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 hesitated for a moment before sending another voice message. “I miss you too, and I’m very worried about you.” Karl replied very quickly, “There’s nothing to worry about. Just take good care of yourself and Burtie, okay?” “Okay. I’m planning to send Dave back home to take care of you.” “
Timothy carried Burtie in his arms and started playing with him in the yard. Burtie was laughing cheerily the entire time. Danielle watched them play while sitting silently on the chair. She wondered how nice it would be if Karl were here. Slowly, the weather got warmer, and she developed a habit
Danielle stood by the entrance for half an hour before leaving. Barely three minutes after she left, Karl stepped out of the villa with Dave. “Sir, the beach is too windy today. Let's go back inside.” “No, you can get back to your work. I’ll just head over there and take a walk myself.” “Sir…”
He was so sickly thin. Heartbroken, she found herself thumping at his chest angrily and crying out, “Karl, you liar! You promised me you would take care of yourself. Why are you–” “So, don’t leave. Stay here and watch over me.” Danielle looked at him and clenched her fist. The reason she left wa
Dave had to give in when he noted how adamant Karl was about it.He took it as a sign that Karl was still rebelling against his fate. He worried that if Karl continued to choose to deny the facts, it would plague him for the rest of his life. In that case, he might as well help him remove every tr
Danielle gestured at the room. “The living room gave it away. It looks like you’ve been living here for a while.” Karl smiled. “Why… did you move here?” “Why do you think?” Danielle exchanged glances with him, her eyes were filled with sorrow. Both of them understood that neither of them could
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
