Charles glanced at Daphne, sighing ruefully. He had encountered a considerable amount of beautiful women, yet even he had ended up making a mistake.‘This four-eyed girl seemed like an average good-looking girl when she’s wearing her glasses, but she actually looks stunning once she takes them off! No wonder Nick’s so interested in her…’“Hey, four-eyes, what’s your name?” Charles asked, still driving.Daphne returned to her senses. She looked at Charles and answered with a squeak, “Daphne Mae Blythe.”Charles nodded and turned the steering wheel. “Charles Siegfried.”‘Charles Siegfried… Is he telling me his name?’Daphne paused, then stared at Charles in disbelief.‘He’s the chairman of The Siegfried Group!’Daphne knew the name “Charles Siegfried” because his name had taken over every major newspaper headline one month ago.The Siegfried Group had recently promoted its new chairman, who was engaged to the daughter of another wealthy, elite family!“Why are you staring at me

“I know!” Daphne exclaimed, cutting off Lucas.“You don’t have to list the benefits of being Nicholas Wolfe’s mistress. You don’t have to tell me about how every girl wants this opportunity.” Daphne stared at Lucas grimly. “Because I see no glory in becoming someone’s mistress.”Lucas stared at Daphne in shock as she turned away. “But I do need your help. Tell Nicholas Wolfe that I accept his request,” she said, enunciating every syllable.This was her reality. Regardless of how much disdain or despise she felt for the word “mistress”, Joan was in the hospital and needed money, and her brother was no longer the man who could help her…Daphne lowered her head once she had said her piece. Lucas stared at Daphne calmly, then reached out and took the bill from her and said, “Then I’ll pay the bill for you, Miss Blythe. We’ll sign the contract later.”Daphne bit her lip and nodded.Daphne only felt a chill.Lucas handled everything after that. Daphne went back to the ward and waited.

Daphne rushed toward the operating theater. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she stumbled.“Ah!”“Watch out!” Lucas deftly caught Daphne and asked, “Are you alright, Miss Blythe?”“I’m fine.”Daphne moved her leg and smiled at Lucas gratefully. Then she quickly headed to the operating theater.Lucas stared after Daphne as she left and shook his head ruefully. After that, he ran after her.Daphne had just arrived at the operating theater door when the indicator light on the operating room door suddenly went off.That meant that the surgery was finished. She had arrived just in time!The operating theater door was pushed open. A doctor dressed in light blue surgical scrubs emerged.The doctor took off his surgical mask and asked, “Where are the patient’s family members?”“Me!” Daphne stepped forward and stared at the doctor, anxiously. “Doctor, my… Grandmother, how is she?” she asked in a timid voice.The doctor looked at the anxious-looking Daphne, then at Lucas, who

A blustery wind was beating against Daphne’s long hair, blocking Joan’s gravestone from view. Daphne squinted and said, “So sue me!”She ignored Olivia’s extra sharpened screams and ended the call. She clutched the phone tightly in her hand, staring fixedly at the gravestone.…As they headed down from the mountain, a thunderstorm arrived.Half of Daphne’s body was drenched. Her skirt was stuck to her thighs, and she was shivering.Lucas opened the car door and ushered Daphne inside. Then, he draped his coat over her, picked up his phone, and answered a call.“Master Nicholas… It’s done. She’s here… Okay, Master Nicholas…”Lucas turned around and handed the phone over to Daphne and said, “Miss Blythe, Master Nicholas would like to speak to you.”Daphne was taken aback. She looked at Lucas, then accepted the phone with a trembling hand. “Hello?” she answered as she placed it against her ear.“Is it done?” Nicholas’s voice replied through the receiver. His deep and sweet-soundin

“Miss Blythe.”Just as Daphne was admiring her surroundings, Mathilda suddenly came to a halt, turned around, and calmly stared at her.Daphne jumped. “Mm?”Mathilda reached out and opened the room door next to her. “This will be your room from now on,” she said. “You’ll stay here for now, as your relative has just passed away. It would be bad luck for you to share a room with Master Nicholas. You will move into Master Nicholas’s room after you’ve completed a week of mourning.”Daphne was taken aback. She instinctively looked at her black mourning clothes. She had chosen to go into mourning for Joan.“Do you have any questions, Miss Blythe?” Mathilda asked.Daphne snapped back into her senses, shook her head, and replied, “No.”This was good. She wouldn’t have to share a room with Nicholas for the time being and wouldn’t feel too nervous, even though Nicholas wasn’t around at the moment.“Please go inside then,” Mathilda calmly said.Daphne walked in. The maid put her luggage

Nicholas was taken aback. The storm in his dark pupils slowly dissipated. His eyes filled with ridicule as he stared at her. “Aren’t you in college? Why are you so superstitious? What? Does your college teach fortune-telling?”‘Now it makes sense. I had to comb through the entire villa to find her. So after all of that effort, it’s all because she’d hidden away in mourning, thinking that she’s bad luck! She must be insane!’Daphne’s face began heating up after that stinging remark from his venomous tongue. She bit her lips and replied, “I’m not superstitious. Mathilda says that you and I can’t…”Daphne lowered her head as she mumbled the last few words of her reply, in a decibel exclusively for ants.“Can’t what? Can’t have sex with me?” Nicholas icily snapped.Daphne’s face blushed even more. She kept her head firmly down, too afraid to look Nicholas in the eye as she nodded.Silence.The only noise in the room was the sound of the wind beating against the cotton gauze curtains

There was a purple mark on her shoulder. It was obvious that disinfectant had been applied to the wound.Daphne vaguely remembered Nicholas biting her, and not just on the shoulder.Today hurt much more than that time back at The Palace Hotel. Her entire body hurt as if bones had been dislocated.Daphne straightened out her clothes, then reached out to take the ointment on the bedside table and examined it…Click.She suddenly heard the sound of the hospital room door open. Daphne jumped, then immediately slipped her hand under the covers and lifted her gaze toward the door.“You’re awake, Miss Blythe?”Lucas walked in.Daphne wasn’t wearing her glasses. She squinted at Lucas. “Mr. Shaw. What are you doing here?”“I’ve always been here. Master Nicholas needed a document, so I had to leave for a while,” Lucas explained.Daphne was surprised. She nodded.It looked like the doctor had misunderstood her relationship with Lucas and thought that he was her boyfriend.Daphne wasn’

Nicholas coldly eyed Daphne. His tall figure got up from the couch. Then, he strode toward Daphne with his long legs.Daphne sensed it. She lifted her head and stared in astonishment at Nicholas, who was getting increasingly close to her.Nicholas kept his eye on Daphne, then lay down next to her.The VIP patient room had a bed big enough to fit four adults. Daphne jolted away from him as if she had been electrocuted. Moving her body, which was riddled with injuries, made her wince in pain.“Are you good at massages?” Nicholas’s icy voice suddenly asked.Daphne paused. She lifted her head, looked at him, and shook her head. “No.”“You can’t even massage temples?”Nicholas turned his head over and frowned at Daphne.This was Daphne’s first time in such close proximity to him under these circumstances. Her dainty face instantly blushed as she avoided Nicholas’s gaze. “I’ve never massaged anyone, so I don’t know if I’m good at it,” she said.Nicholas’s eyes flashed, and he chuckl

Nicholas opened one of the ointments and applied it to Daphne’s wound.His application was uneven because he was using every inch of his willpower to control his hands…After applying the medicine on her back, Nicholas’s voice rang aloud again from behind her. “Take off your clothes!”“Huh?”Daphne whipped her head around and looked at Nicholas but was met with Nicholas’s vicious face.“What do you mean, ‘huh’? Strip!”Daphne was speechless.“Master Nicholas, lunch is served.”Lucas appeared at the doorway, carrying a paper bag. He had just spoken when he realized that something was amiss.Daphne, who should be lying on the bed, was sitting bolt upright on the couch. Her misty gaze was staring straight at him. The supposedly vigorous and lively Master Nicholas was horizontal on the hospital bed.‘Is Master Nicholas’s headache bothering him again?’Lucas frowned. He hurriedly strode toward the sickbed. “Master Nicholas, are you alright?”“Stop right there!” Nicholas roared i

“Mm?”Nicholas’ leg paused just before stepping onto the stairs. His lanky figure turned around. His eyes flashed as he raised his brow and asked, “When did she arrive?”‘That little girl’s been discharged?’“Ten minutes ago,” Mathilda replied.“Understood.” Nicholas turned around and headed upstairs.Mathilda took a step forward and said, “Master Nicholas, what about your date with Miss Bianca?”“Cancel it!”Nicholas’s voice held no warmth. His tall figure disappeared into the staircase.“Okay,” Mathilda turned around to make the call.…Daphne was kneeling on the ground, as she had found a plug point behind a cupboard. She plugged her phone in to charge and waited anxiously.A few minutes later, she pressed the button to switch on the phone.Her phone showed no response…“Hey, what’s going on? Is it not working again?” Daphne frowned, shaking her phone around.She had been using this phone for a very long time, and the battery would be unresponsive sometimes.Daphne wa
