Danielle Wendell opened her eyes, regaining consciousness from a daze. The room was pitch black. All she was aware of was a man’s labored breathing and the pain he was inflicting on her. Danielle pushed against the man with all her strength, but he did not budge. She also tried to scream, but no
Karl frowned. Danielle said, “I don't need anything in exchange for my first time. I’m also officially submitting my resignation to you today. I will be busy with my graduation thesis from now on, so I won’t be able to give your younger brother extra lessons. I hope we don't see each other again. I
Max kept his head down without a word. He looked ashamed. Danielle smiled. “It was all because you said I was a gentle soul.”The woman went up and blocked Danielle from looking at Max. “It’s my fault, Danielle. I was the one who hit on Max. I’m the one with no shame. He’s a good man. Don’t blame h
The car pulled over at Academia Road, and Danielle opened the door to get off. Karl said to the chauffeur, “Give Ms. Wendell an umbrella.” The chauffeur handed Danielle an umbrella. Danielle opened the umbrella, got out of the car, and turned to Karl. She said, “Thank you for today, Mr. Burt.” “
Karl’s eyes shifted downward. Blushing, Danielle turned away defiantly. “Anyway, there’s no need for a checkup.” She stuffed the prescription into his hand. “I have to go, or I’ll get fired.”Karl stared at her back, grinned, and went up to pull her back. “What do you want now?” “Since you know
Due to the trip to the hospital, Danielle was late to tutoring class for more than half an hour. To make up for her mistake, Danielle offered a free lesson.The sky was dark by the time she left her student’s house. Hence, Danielle took a bus back to school. When Danielle walked into the dorm roo
Danielle stepped into the lobby of Crest Empire. The chauffeur took her to the underground parking lot and pointed at the car she took a ride from the day before. “That’s the car, Ms. Wendell. Here’s the car key. I got to go.” Danielle took the car key, her head throbbing. In the earlier call,
The woman in the private dining room was beautiful and carried herself with grace. She was taken aback when Karl arrived accompanied by a woman. She stood up and offered a gentle smile.“Karl, this is…” Karl smiled. “This is Timothy’s tutor. You can address her as Ms. Wendell.” The woman smiled f
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
