Daisy Zane instinctively resisted showing her vulnerable and helpless side to others.
Kevin Clark naturally felt it, so he stretched out his hand to lift Daisyâs chin and let her look at him, âCanât you tell me about it?â
Daisy looked at him but still said nothing.
âNot even telling me, isnât that too off-putting?â Kevin said, suddenly looking a bit gloomy, âWeâve kissed, and Iâm still an outsider. Why do I feel like Iâve been done wrong?â
Daisy:
Seeing her speechless expression, Kevin suddenly stepped forward, placing his hands on either side of her body, staring at her up close, and threatening, âShouldnât I make our relationship a bit more familiar?â
Daisy raised her hand, stuck out a finger, poked it onto his shoulder, and pushed him back to the bedside: âThird Master, think more about practical matters.â
Kevin laughed, holding her hand, kissed it near the lips, and said, âTell me, maybe youâll feel better once you talk about it.â
Daisy was silent for a while again.
Kevin didnât rush, simply pinching her fingers, waiting quietly.
Almost a minute passed before Daisy looked at Kevinâs fingers and spoke up, âWhen Charles Amos was one year old, his father, named Jack Amos, died in front of me, just like in the show this afternoon.â
Kevinâs expression froze for a moment, but he continued to stroke her hand. It had been eight years since Charles was one year old, how old was she then? Still gazing at his hand, Daisy spoke in a calm voice as if speaking about someone else, âItâs not exactly the same as this afternoonâs show. Jack Amos died because of me, and it was even worse than this afternoonâs show. He was stabbed thirty-two times all over his body, just two meters away from me, separated by a layer of glass.â
What had she gone through? And what was the reason it happened because of her?
Kevin moved closer, held her in his arms, gently patted her back, and quietly listened to her speak.
Daisyâs eyes pressed against his shoulder, and she whispered, âAt that time, I was completely useless. Apart from crying and watching him die with my own eyes, I couldnât do anything, not even collecting his body.â
At that time, watching Jack Amos fall motionless in the rain, Daisy struggled desperately to go out, but Edward Kirsten stopped her from leaving.
In the end, she fainted and fell into a feverish coma for three days.
When she woke up, Jack Amos had been taken care of by them, and she didnât even know where he was buried.
Usually, the people who took care of her were replaced by newcomers, except for Wilton Edwards and Edward Kirsten.
Edward Kirsten also keenly noticed that she intended to commit suicide, so he threatened her with Charlesâ life.
Kevin held her tighter in his arms, his heart aching as if it was being rubbed back and forth by a blunt knife. Her little girl, so young, carrying guilt, hatredâ¦
Eight years⦠how did she endure?
What had she suffered to become who she is today?
Daisy leaned against him, smelling the eaglewood scent on his body, feeling at peace and reassured.
After a quiet moment, Daisy said, âThatâs why I hate people I canât defeat. Itâs easy for me to want to kill them.â
Kevin lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.
Daisy always acted this way, seemingly not caring about things she was afraid of mentioning even just once, fearing that the people around her would be sad, always speaking of her experiences lightly, as if they didnât matter.
And still teasing people in the end.
No matter how cold or difficult to approach she appeared on the outside, she was always considerate of others on the inside.
âHave you ever wanted to kill me too?â Kevin asked in a low voice.
âYes,â Daisy said, âIn D Continent, if I were caught, my next plan would have been to kill you.â
âSo vicious?â
âStrong people who canât be of use to me are threats that canât be left alone, â Daisy casually said.
Upon hearing her words, Kevinâs expression faltered for a moment.
Those words⦠they were all too familiarâ¦
âSo I should be grateful that I recognized you in time,â Kevin laughed.
âDonât pat yourself on the back,â Daisy said, âWas that timely?â
Kevin chuckled softly, âNext time, the moment I encounter your little alias, Iâll recognize my little girl right away.â
Daisy snorted with laughter, âIf you canât, then be prepared to get beaten.â âAlright,â Kevin agreed with a laugh, then kissed her neck again, âIâll always be on your side, you donât need to treat me as an enemy.â
Hearing his words, Daisy touched her fingertips and remained silent, as if she accepted it.
âI can help you avenge Jack Amos too,â Kevin said seriously.
Daisyâs head moved slightly, leaning on his shoulder, and after a while, she said, âYouâve been helping me.â
âHuh?â
â319.â
As Kevin patted her back, his hand paused, and he suddenly remembered the reason she had a fever last time due to emotional fluctuations.
She had even crushed a wine glass.
It turned out to be the same person.
No wonderâ¦
âWeâll catch him eventually,â Kevin said.
âMm.â
The two hugged for a while longer, and as Daisy gradually grew sleepy, she backed out of his embrace and said, âYou go to sleep, Iâm fine.â Looking at her, Kevin hesitated and asked, âCan I stay here?â
Daisy looked up at him.
âCan I be with you here?â
Daisy slowly narrowed her eyes.
Kevin laughed, âAre you afraid of me? What can I possibly do?â
Daisy also laughed, âAfraid of you? What could you possibly do?â
âThereâs a lot I could do,â Kevinâs voice became softer and softer, âandâ¦since you canât beat me, Iâ¦â
Seeing her gradually cooling eyes, Kevin immediately stopped himself and coughed lightly, âYouâre feverish, Iâm a bit worried.â
Daisy looked at him again, afraid that he would sit in the living room all night, so she scooted over a bit and said, âCome up.â
With such a straightforward agreement, did she really think he wouldnât do anything?
Kevin raised an eyebrow, waited for her to lie down before getting into bed and settling himself as well.
With her eyes closed, Daisy felt the mattress sink beside her, and her heartbeat quickened. She rolled away from Kevin, pulling the quilt over her head, and whispered, âTurn off the light.â
âAlright.â
Kevin lay down and turned off the light.
Darkness enveloped the room, and his vision went black for a moment.
Once his sight had adjusted somewhat, he turned and looked at Daisy.
At first, he didnât understand why she had chosen to accept this script.
There were so many good ones out there, all easier than this one. Why did she insist on torturing herself, subjecting herself to such immense physical and psychological pressure every day?
Now he more or less understood.
The female leadâs experiences resonated with her, or rather, her sympathy for the female lead in the script.
He still remembered his words at that time, âHow can she become strong without suffering?â
She didnât want to become like this, nor did she want to shoulder so much responsibility, nor run around with a bloody knife⦠it was reality that forced her into what she has becomeâ¦.
