Sven thought more about it. "Daniel had only once been in love, but he separated with that girl years ago. After that, I"ve never seen him make a new girlfriend. Oh! That"s right, Kate Song! So, he has a relationship with Kate Song, but at the same time another with Jane..." thought Sven.
"He"s bad!" he said, "and wicked!" But, Sven"s words actually made Janet feel more sympathetic towards Daniel.
And she couldn"t help herself throw out the words, "Maybe not that bad."
Janet"s mind started to roam about, and then Sven and Jerry looked at each other. After a while, Jerry winked to Sven.
"Jane, please wait for Daniel here. Sven and I have something to discuss about outside."
Janet snapped out of it, and asked, "Is Daniel really coming here?" She felt scary, but also furious.
Sven nodded to her, "Yes. Daniel said that he is coming here. I suppose that he is already on his way here right now."
"Sven Si! Are you really my brother? Call him back right now! Tell him not to come here and see me!" Janet shouted. She was in a real panic now, without even knowing the real reason. She then took over the bowl of soup, and said, "I will drink it, OK? Now, hurry up! Call him back, please!"
...
Her unusual reaction startled the two men.
"What"s wrong with Janet?" thought Sven, "Why is she so fl.u.s.tered on knowing that Daniel is on his way here?
She wouldn"t have been so anxious if she were meeting her boyfriend, not to say that Daniel is already a sc.u.mbag in her eyes, " Sven thought.
Perplexed at her reaction, Sven dialed Daniel"s number, and the call soon connected, "Hey, Daniel. Jane said that she"ll drink the soup, and you don"t need to come anymore."
Janet nearly choked on the soup when she heard his words, and said, "Sven, do you really have to be so honest?"
"Wasn"t it you that asked me to say that?" Looking back at Janet, who was just about to burst into rage, Sven really felt speechless and helpless.
But the call was still connected, and Janet"s words fell freely into the man"s ears on the other side of the line.
"Sven, I"ll be there soon. Bye."
Daniel hung up the phone and then carefully continued driving his car. "Janet Shao! How much are you expecting me? I"ll have to ask you later!" Daniel thought.
In the patient"s room
Now, all three people were staring at each other in silence.
"Sven, didn"t you hear me? You need to change my room! I don"t want to stay in this room anymore!" Janet shou
"You"re my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years pa.s.sed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
, "You"ve stolen my most precious thing, and even wanted to hurt Brian. That makes no difference between you and a despicable man!"
The woman"s words made Daniel feel even more heart-broken.
He didn"t try to come up with any explanations, and instead just took the bowl and forced Janet to drink it up.
Then he stood up from the chair, and said, "Have a good rest. Since you don"t like me, I won"t be coming to see you anymore."
Then he turned around and left the room. Janet looked at his back and felt distressed out of her control.
"I won"t be coming to see you anymore...
"Shouldn"t I be happy? Why am I feeling so painful? So heart-broken? For what? He acted so viciously and is not deserving of any of my love!" Janet thought.
In the hospital"s parking lot, Daniel sat in the car alone, looking at the patient"s room up on the eighth floor while slowly smoking his cigarette.
He smoked one after the other, and when he reached the fifth one, he saw Sven come out of the hospital"s in-patient department.
"Sven!" Daniel called.
Sven was whistling a tune when he heard someone call out his name and, almost in an instant, he felt so startled that he almost jumped out of his shoes.
"It"s so dark outside, who is that guy? And the figure seems to be flickering!" Sven thought.
"It"s me." Daniel"s cold voice relaxed him.
Sven, while he walked towards him, was playing with his car keys in his hand.
"Daniel, haven"t you left yet? Why are you still here?" Sven asked. When he had returned to Janet"s room earlier, Daniel was already gone. He only saw Janet lying on the bed, wearing a blank look on her face.
