Chapter 67 Can''t Get in Touch with Daniel
Daniel vividly remembered J''s beauty and the memorable moments of their previous night.
He had witnessed her wonderful metamorphosis, changing from a little girl into a beautiful woman.
Daniel lifted his beige bed sheet from his bed, folded it up and ced it into a drawer.
Except for the time he had spent in the military camp, this was the first time that Daniel changed his
bed sheet all by his own.
After he finished, he sat in his study and began to smoke cigarettes, one after the other.
He had never been lost in thought like this before, not even when his ex-girlfriend Sabina Fan had
betrayed him.
Kate looked like Sabina.
He believed that he would fall in love with Kate, but, in fact, it seemed that he didn''t have any feelings
for her at all.
It wasn''t until he met J again that Daniel''s whole heart was thrown in a total mess because of her.
Daniel took the quarrels and fights he had with J over the years as only puerile and childish, never
thinking much about them while growing up.
However, when he met her at the airport again for the first time in a long time, he was deeply attracted
by her every single gracious movement.
Even when he had kissed her in the car, he had never regretted any of it.
She was a spoiled princess, but he didn''t think that Jane was beyond reasoning.
She was naughty, arrogant, wayward andwless. But she never deliberately hurt others or looked
down upon anyone. Even when Kelsen had jumped her twice, she had just asked for the dog to be sent
away.
Many times he thought, ''Even if she''s so stubborn, I just want to take good care of her.''
When he faced the cameras and the ruthless media, he dered that Kate was his girlfriend.
He had done this just to protect J, who looked weak and helpless in front of the merciless reporters
and their video equipment.
He insisted on showing his affection for Kate in front of her whenever he had the chance, just to
stimte her and to see if she would be jealous on Kate.
But the woman seemed to be a strange creature indeed, or maybe it was because J couldn''t
express anything else other than anger.
And he couldn''t figure out whether she was angry just because he was being indifferent to her or
because she was actually jealous.
...
Steadily, the sky grew lighter, and this was the first time that Daniel hadn''t gone to hispany for a
whole day.
Spark tried to call him, but his phone was off; he also tried knocking at his vi''s door but to no avail.
Spark couldn''t find him.
''This is too odd. He usually leaves thepanyte at night, but where could have he gone today?''
Spark pondered.
But something wasn''t correct in his thought. Daniel had seldom worked overtime since the day J
had appeared. ''If he doesn''t have any social engagements, he''ll eventually return to his vi, ''
concluded Spark.
Spark then tried to call J, but her phone was also off.
He went to her shop, and learned from one of the clerks that J also didn''t arrive today for work!
There were a lot of documents that needed to be signed by Daniel that day, and when he thought of
them, Spark felt very uptight and finally decided to call Harry.
"You can''t get in touch with Daniel?" asked Harry.
He was confused, and couldn''t believe what he had just asked.
He also couldn''t believe what Spark told him, because he knew that his son had inherited his hard-
working spirit and, even more than that, had worked harder than him every single day. Since he had
be the new CEO, Daniel had devoted himself to hispany''s work.
He had never even taken a day off work the whole year, except if it was highly demanded of him to do
so.
"Well, yes, Mr. Si. I know this is odd, it''s already afternoon now, and I still can''t get in touch with him, "
replied Spark. He wiped the cold beads of sweat off his forehead, thinking: ''Like father, like son! His
father also makes me nervous and afraid when he goes silent.''
"What about Jane?" asked Harry. He began to boldly specte what might have happened.
Spark said, "I''ve already tried to contact J, but her phone is also powered off and she also didn''t
arrive at her shop today. Both of them seem to be..."
When he heard this, Harry began to slowly understand.
He thought that there certainly must be something happening between Daniel and Jane, but had no
idea whether they were together or not.
"OK, I see. I''ll contact youter if I get any news on him, " said Harry.
After he hung up the phone, he called Jerry straightaway.
Both Samuel and E were abroad now, and only Jerry remained to help him find Daniel and J.
When Jerry answered the phone, he had just finished awsuit and was on his way back to the
around and drove back to the vi.
He also called Sally and asked her to go to Daniel''s vi and to check if he was inside.
In Vi No. 8
Jerry knocked heavy on J''s bedroom door, but no reply came from it.
Jerry finally resorted to apply force and kicked open the door.
When he J lying on the bed, he felt relieved.
"Jane, didn''t you hear me call you?" asked Jerry. He then sat on the other side of the bed.
J, who was sound asleep on the bed, didn''t make the slightest move.
When he got close to her, he found some ck-and-blue bruises on her neck, and when he saw them,
Jerry''s breath suddenly grew more rapid and a fear started instantly growing inside him, changing the
expression on his face.
But what attracted his attention the most was the odd flush on her face.
He put his hand on J''s forehead and was shocked. ''So hot!''
Jerry didn''t dare pull of the quilt off her, so he held J wrapped in it in his arms and then left the vi.
After he put J on the backseat of his car, Jerry then called Sally.
Inside Vi No. 9
Only Daniel''s family members could open the vi''s door, and Sally sessfully unlocked the
fingerprint lock with her little finger and then climbed straight to the second floor.
When she opened Daniel''s bedroom door she found a mess, but no sign of him.
She then opened his study''s door and immediately felt the thick cigarette smoke and alcohol vapors.
She choked because of the smoke and violently coughed for a moment.
When she pushed open the door and walked into his study, she saw the man bending in his seat
against his office desk.
She had no idea whether he was asleep or was just resting his eyes.
There were several white spirit bottles tossed aside on the desk and an ashtray fully packed with
cigarette butts.

"Daniel, " cried Sally. She covered her mouth and nose with one hand and pushed Daniel with the
other.
But Daniel didn''t seem to be responding. Sally then asked, "Daniel, What''s the matter with you?"
This time, when Sally shook him with both hands, Daniel finally opened his eyes.
When she saw Daniel''s eyes turning red and filling with tears, Sally was startled. ''What''s wrong with
him?'' she wondered.
"Daniel, you scared me! What happened?" asked Sally. ''He was looking just fine the other evening, but
now...''
Daniel shook his head, then stood up from his chair and staggered towards his bedroom.
Sally, who was more than confused by what was happening with her brother, followed him, held him by
the hand, and put him in the bedroom.
When she was just about to leave, her phone rang. She answered it, "Hello, Jerry."
"Jane is burning with fever. Have you found Daniel yet?" said Jerry.
Sally turned around and, while she briefly nced at Daniel, said, "Well, he got drunk and now he''s
asleep. How did Jane get the fever?"
"I don''t know. It might be hard to take care of her all by myself, so pleasee and help me take her to
the hospital first. We''ll ask Sven for help, " said Jerry.
"OK. I''ming now, " replied Sally.
When the bedroom''s door was closed, Daniel, who seemed to be asleep earlier, opened his eyes.
Jane was burning with the fever!
In the hospital
After Sven took J''s temperature and gave her some IV fluids, he said, "She had high fever, 40℃,
but luckily you came with her here in time. Otherwise, her life could have been in danger."
Sally covered J with the quilt, but Sven reminded her, "Sally, don''t put the quilt over Jane any
more. There''s no need to cover her up, you don''t have to soak her in sweat."
Jerry and Sally looked at each other for a little while, and then he walked out of the ward along with
Sven. Sally pulled down the quilt from her neck.
And J just wore a thin cotton cartoon-themed pajama, which left her neck bare.
