In the darkness, inside the quiet room.
The two of them lay facing each other.
Kevinâs hand stretched over from under Daisyâs neck, letting her rest on it.
His other arm was placed on her back, touching her soft hair.
As they lay quietly for a while, Kevin suddenly asked in a low voice, âAre you thinking about how to not want me?â
The voice was right in her ear, and Daisy could hear a trace of grievance. She looked up at him.
Though the room was very dark, she could still faintly see Kevinâs eyebrows and eyes.
âDoes this silence mean⦠you think I came here today to break up?â Kevin said.
Daisy still didnât say anything, almost as if she agreed.
Seeing her acquiescent response, Kevin gritted his teeth, and after a while, he clenched his teeth and said, âI came here to settle the score.â
âSettle what?â
âWhatever I remember, Iâll settle.â Kevin exclaimed angrily.
Daisy:
âDo you think Iâd hear Edward Kirsten babble a few words and then come over here to break up?â Kevin forced his voice to soften somewhat, then pinched her face, âLittle girl, you really know how to annoy someone.â
âHe wasnât exactly babbling.â Daisy said calmly.
Kevin was silent for a moment, and then couldnât help but feel heartache. He hugged Daisy closer and kissed the top of her head: âThen tell me, which parts of what he said were not nonsense?â
âMost of it was true?â
âWhat about the small part?â
Daisy thought for a moment and decided to clear things up. In a flat voice, she said, âThis is my first love affair.â
Kevin seemed to be stunned for a moment, then he laughed, âOh, Iâm your first love.â
Suddenly, Daisy felt that this manâs mood changed too quickly, and even had reason to suspect that he had learned the art of face-changing in Peking opera at home.
âLittle girl, I like you, and Iâll get to know you little by little. My eyes can see, I only want to believe what I see for myself. I know what kind of person you are, and I donât need anyone else to tell me.â
Daisy quietly rested on his arm, and because they were closer, she could even hear his heartbeat.
âDo I seem like a jerk? I say I like you and I like you, and then I donât like you after hearing a few words from others.â
Daisy still didnât say anything.
Kevinâs hand gently patted her back: âDonât think too much. Itâs easy to be Mrs. Clark. You donât have to do anything, donât need a great ability, high education, or a good family background. You just need to be yourself, and youâre the best. I
like it when my little girl is happy.â
After he finished speaking, Daisy suddenly leaned against him and buried her face in his shoulder.
Kevin hugged her a little tighter, touching her head but not saying anything more.
After a while, Daisy said, âI was the one who found Mason Davisâs address.â
Back then, Edward Kirsten lied to her, saying that Mason had cheated him and taken something very important from him. Thatâs why she helped him.
She didnât expect that a few days later, she would see the corpses of their family of three.
Edward Kirsten kept everything from her and didnât let her know anything.
That day, Alice Eugene suddenly came back and said he would take her to a place.
She didnât think much about it and just went along with him.
That was the first time she found out that there was a basement where she lived.
There was a strong smell of blood downstairs, and Alice took her all the way.
She first saw Edward Kirsten, and then she saw the corpses of Mason Davis and his family.
She remembered it very clearly. It was the first time she saw such a ferocious and twisted expression on Edward Kirstenâs face.
It was also the first time she saw Edward Kirsten lose his temper and hit someone. He slapped Alice Eugene very hard, questioning why he had brought her there.
âItâs not your fault. Mason Davis was never innocent.â Kevin Clark didnât use a comforting tone, he was just stating a fact, âHe must have known that thing was harmful. But after he made enough money, he didnât want to continue doing it, so he ran away.â
âButâ¦his wife and childâ¦â Daisy Zane personally investigated their family of threeâs information, âThe child was only four years old.â
Because her face was buried in his shoulder, Daisy Zaneâs voice was somewhat muffled. But there was still no emotional fluctuation. Flat and cold.
As if she was describing something that had nothing to do with herself.
Kevin understood why her hacking skills were so good, but she never used them.
She felt guilty.
âYou donât need to take on the sins of others, said Kevin.
Daisy Zane was silent.
Kevin remained silent for a while before saying, âTell me, what happened after that?â
After thatâ¦
For a long time, she ignored Edward Kirsten. At first, Edward would try to coax her nicely.
But as time went on, his malicious nature was exposed.
He became more and more irritable because she ignored him and rejected him.
Unable to accept his twisted values, his crazed reasoning, and his so-called âtruthâ in his heart.
The more she refused, the harder Edward tried to force his ideas on her, until she became highly resistant.
How could Edward accept her turning away from him?
So he kept provoking her, brainwashing her. If she couldnât accept it, he would forcibly make her just like him.
So he was like a madman, telling her every day that the death of the Davis family was her fault.
He told her that even though she despised him, she was already that kind of person.
And threatened her with the people around her.
Telling her that the Davis family tragedy was just the beginning, and she would use her hacking skills to kill even more people in the future.
And if she didnât obey, he would kill someone who frequently took care of her.
So⦠Daisy Zane cut off her own ten fingers.
Edward was frightened at that time, and he didnât dare to provoke her for a long time afterward.
The two entered a standoff period.
Later, taking advantage of Edwardâs reluctance to visit her frequently, Daisy Zane planned an escape.
She didnât tell Kevin much about it, but simply said, âI tried to escape once, Jack Amos helped me. But⦠it wasnât successful.â
Kevin realized why Edward wanted to kill Jack Amos.
âI was only away for 22 hours before I got caught and taken back,â Daisy Zane said, âItâs because of this that I got Jack Amos killed.â
Twenty-two hours⦠Kevin remembered she had said that Jack had been stabbed 22 times.
One knife per hour, how could his little girl have endured that.
Kevin held her a little tighter, his voice slightly hoarse, âLittle girl, the sin is Edwardâs, you shouldnât feel so guilty for his sins.â
Daisy Zaneâs fingertips circled his front buttons, listening to him quietly.
âAlso, there is something that wasnât done right,â Kevin said, âAlthough it was your hacker technology that found Mason Davis and made you feel that hacking wasnât a good thing for you. But your skills can have other positive uses, like⦠saving Olivia Lane. Thereâs no need to give up a valuable skill just because of one bad experience.â
Daisy Zane listened to his words, remained silent for a moment, and said softly, âYou sound like someone I know.â
Who?â
Daisy Zane lifted her head from his shoulder, resting it back on his arm, and said, âSomeone who looks a lot like Anisa Cooper.â
âSoâ¦. do I resemble Anisa Cooper?â
