Donald opened the door, took Daphne to the guest bedroom, and turned on the light, âYou can sleep here. If you need anything, just tell me. Itâll be my pressure to help.â
Daphne nodded, âThank you Mr. Shawn.â
Donald looked at her, with corners of his lips twitching, âDidnât I tell you not to be so reserved?â
Under his gaze, Daphne couldnât help but feel herself flushed. She looked sideways, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she couldnât say anything other than âthank youâ.
Seeing that she was still nervous, Donald pushed the suitcase in front of her, âOkay, itâs getting late. I wonât bother you. Just have a good sleepâ
Daphne turned around and stammered, âMr. Shawn, thank you...And good night...â
The smile deepened on Donaldâs face, âGood night.â
While speaking, he closed the door of the guest bedroom.
Donald had just walked a few steps when the phone rang. It was Vincent.
He swiped and picked up the phone, âHave you caught him?â
Vincent said, âYeah, we have captured him. Howâs your injury? Didnât you go to the hospital?â
As Donald walked to his room, he hissed in pain, âHow can I go to hospital at this moment? Itâs too embarrassing.â
Vincent sneered and said, âKnowing that itâs beyond your capability, you still rush to confront him. Certainly, you will get beaten.â
Donald untied his tie and threw it on the sofa, âYou still think Iâm such a savage just like you? Iâm a gentleman, and Harris is Justin Conradâs best hitman. I should be grateful since Iâm alive.â
âYes, Mr. Shawn is pampered. How can I put on a par with you.â
âItâs kind of mean for you to say that.â
Vincent didnât bother to pay attention to him, âFine, just handle it yourself.â
Before he hung up the phone, Donald added, âHey, are you and Clarence, are you reconciled?â
Vincent said helplessly, âYou think we are still young kids? How can we reconciled just like that.â
Hearing what he said, Donald was amused, âDonât you two behave like kiddos sometimes?â
âThatâs how Clarence chased his wife. I had never done that.â
âItâs about the same, in my opinion.â
Vincent was disdain about it, âThen whatâs your behavior tonight? Infant kind of move?â
Donald was silent, âIs it interesting for two mature men to chat like this?â
âThatâs you who started it.â
âI am just asking. Looking back at what happened in the James family, you didnât know how much risk I took to help you. I really donât know whatâs going on between you two even now.â
Vincent said causally, âItâs nothing. I have tons of story to tell. Just take care of yourself.â
Donald curled his lips, hung up the phone. He then took off his shirt to check out the bruises on his body. He later grabbed the medicine for bruises and sprains, and rubbed it a few times.
After a simple treatment, he went to the cloakroom to get his pajamas. At that moment he remembered the expression of Daphne was about to cry when she treated the wound on his face. If she found the wound on his body, she could have felt guiltier.
Lying in bed, Donald stared at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep.
In the other room, Daphne also couldnât fall asleep.
She didnât know itâs because of the sudden change of unfamiliar environment, or some other reason. She felt that her whole brain was very stimulated.
Especially when she thought about that Donald was in the room next to her, she couldnât control her mind to think about the bits and pieces of how they getting along. With that in her mind, she buried her head in the quilt.
For the entire night, she was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.
...
The next morning, Clarence stood outside the house where Harris was locked, peered in through the glass on the door with no expression on his face.
Vincent stood next to him, âI have asked him. He didnât say anything, and I checked his recent traces. After he returned to City N, he has been living alone and has not contacted anyone, including Jon.â
After a while, Clarence said, âWhere has he been?â
âExcept for the rental house where he was hiding, he followed Daphne almost all the time, looking for opportunities to attack.â
âWhat about before he returned to City N?â
Vincent shook his head, âWe canât find out. But there is news from the police. In the two days when Justin fell into the sea, someone saw him on the nearby shore. He doesnât seem to believe that Justin was dead and has been looking for his corpse.â
There was no emotion in Clarenceâs voice, âThat means, he doesnât even know if Justin is dead or alive.â
As Clarenceâs word finished, Vincent finally understood that the reason why he wanted to capture Harris, was that he wanted to find out whether Justin was still in this world instead of dealing with the follow-up of the New Coast project.
Vincent was silent for a few seconds before saying, âOur men and the police have done many searches in the nearby waters. Either he made sufficient preparations in advance and escaped before the search, or...â
The remaining possibility, he did not utter out.
But everyone knew that.
It is very difficult for ordinary people to survive after falling into the sea, let alone Justin who is paralyzed.
With these answers, Clarence probably lost his interest in questioning Harris himself. He retracted his gaze and said, âWhereâs Jon?â
âI heard he had been seen in South Africa and Darnell James sent his men over.â
Clarence didnât say anything, turned around and said, âSend him to the police station. And let the police take care of the rest.â
Looking at Clarenceâs back and remembering what Donald said yesterday, Vincent responded and suddenly said, âWell...â
Clarence turned around. âAnything else?â
Words were on the lips, but couldnât get out.
Vincent said, âItâs nothing... Donald...he seems to be seriously injured.â
Clarence was inexplicable, âIâm not a doctor. Why are you telling me this?â
Vincent smiled somehow embarrassedly, shrugged his shoulders, indicating he was just saying.
âI am leaving.â
Sitting in the car, Clarence dialed Stellaâs number. She asked, âYouâre done so soon? We havenât gone out yet. Maybe you can go to the office first and come back at noon?â
Clarence said, âItâs okay, Iâll be back to pick you up.â
âNo, no, Maxwell can send us there. If you are not busy, I will send you an address and you can go there directly.â
âThatâs good.â
Soon, Stella sent him the address.
Clarence glanced at the phone, put it away, and gave the driver the address.
Stella and Dolores were just getting out of the car when he arrived.
Clarence walked over and took the little guy from Doloresâ arms, holding Stella in the other hand, âLetâs go.â
Stella leaned over to look at him with a bright smile on her face, âYou donât need to go to the company today?â
âI can go there in the afternoon.â
He has been very busy lately, and didnât even had time to accompany them.
The little guy seemed uncomfortable in Clarenceâs arms and kept trying to crawl over to Stella.
Clarence glanced down at him, âDonât move.â
He immediately withdrew his hand, waited obediently. His mouth pouted, seemed aggrieved.
