Chapter 96 "Ding, ding, ding." At Mithland Hospital, Danielle saw that the caller was Denny and quickly answered it.
Dennyâs tone was filled with unconcealable disbelief as he said, "Miss Darling, the people we sent to tail after Hugh have been spotted. If Aiden and I hadnât shown up in time, they would have been dealt with by Hugh.
"I always thought Hugh was a mild-mannered scholar. Unexpectedly, heâs so skilled. He didnât give himself away at the border at all, hiding his skills quite well."
Danielle softened her tone and asked softly, "How are they?"
"Theyâve been sent to the hospital. The injuries arenât too serious, just some knife wounds. Theyâll recover after resting for a while. Aiden and I have been exposed. Hugh now knows itâs you who sent people to tail after him. Iâm afraid itâll be difficult for us to find the lab."
Denny felt a bit of self-reproach. A few days ago, he had assured Danielle that he wouldnât be spotted, yet they had been caught red-handed in no time.
Within a day, the two groups of people Danielle sent out were injured. After pondering for a while, she slowly said, "Stop tailing after him. Come back once you all have recovered from your injuries. But you guys have to be careful.
"Heâs already on his guard, so he wonât be going to the lab in the near future. Take good care of your injuries for now."
"Got it, Miss Darling," Denny said.
"Mm."
After hanging up, Danielle took out her phone and sent a message.
[Check Hughâs information and send it to me.]
The recipient replied: [Okay.] Taylor was a little worried when he heard that someone was injured, so he asked, "Miss Darling, what happened?"
"The people I sent to find Hugh were spotted and got injured," Danielle said slowly as she sent a message on her phone.
"Miss Darling, everythingâs fine here. You donât have to stay here with me. Go back and rest."
"Okay, Iâve arranged for a caregiver to look after you."
Then, Danielle and David turned around and walked out of the ward.
Inside the Maybach, Danielle noticed that the car was not heading toward the manor, so she asked, "Where are we going?"
"Iâll take you somewhere nice," David said dotingly.
"Youâve learned to keep people in suspense."
Danielle looked at David with a smile.
The car slowly came to a stop in front of a sea of flowers.
David got out of the car and slowly opened the door for Danielle, saying, "Come on out."
As soon as Danielle got out of the car, she saw a sea of flowers. They were all of the same kind, which were orchids. The orchid was her favorite flower.
She used to think that once she had her own home in the future, she would plant a field of orchids in the courtyard.
"Did you specially prepare this?" she asked.
Danielle looked at David with eyes that were filled with excitement. This was not the season for orchids to bloom, and she had never heard that there was a sea of orchids here.
"Do you like it?" David asked, curling his lips slightly and affectionately fiddling with the hair on Danielleâs forehead. "I do. How come you know I like orchids?" Danielleâs eyes were full of cheerfulness.
"Iâll remember everything you like." David leaned over and hugged Danielle gently. At this moment, he felt as if he was holding the entire world in his arms.
"This sea of flowers is really beautiful. How come I didnât hear of an entire field of orchids here before? Itâs so stunning."
Danielle looked at David with a beaming smile.
Davidâs gentle voice could be heard as he said, "Itâs not too late to find out now. This place will only be open to one person from now on. Whenever you want to see it, Iâll bring you here anytime."
These orchids were all flown over and re-cultivated here just to give Danielle a little surprise.
"Could it be that you bought this place?" Danielle asked.
She looked at David in surprise, thinking that the orchids must have been specially cultivated.
"Yes, this place is yours from now on." Davidâs lips curled into a smile.
Danielle thought, âAs expected of a CEO. Heâs so generous...
David took Danielle to the piano and said, "Danielle. I composed a piano piece for you myself. I hope you like it."
His facial features were as handsome as a sculptureâs. His thin lips were slightly cold, and his slender fingers danced gently on the piano, classy and elegant.
Danielle was mesmerized as she listened to David playing the piano. His beautiful eyes were filled with tenderness. Even when the piano music ended, she was still engrossed.
Looking at Danielleâs dazed expression, David smiled warmly.
"Danielle, before I met you, I never believed in love at first sight," he said. "It wasnât until I saw you for the first time that I understood what love at first sight meant. I think about you every moment, yet I fear bothering you.
"But right now, I want to tell you that I love you. Every day in the future, I want you to always be by my side."
The photographer at the side secretly captured this beautiful moment.
Danielle and David had not known each other for a long time, but when she was by his side, she was really like a child, involuntarily relying on him.
"I will always be by your side." Danielleâs beautiful eyes were filled with love.
"Letâs play a duet," she added.
"Oh? Youâre really a versatile girl." David smiled.
The two of them sat in front of the piano. Even if they did not play anything, just looking at their looks would far surpass the beauty of the scenery.
The beautiful sound of the piano spread throughout the entire sea of flowers. It was as clear as the sound of nature, and it was far-reaching. They played in perfect harmony.
The photographer at the side thought, âIâm not here to work. Iâm clearly here to observe their sweet, intimate moments...â
"Danielle, the tone of your playing sounds very much like that of pianist Hannah Russell?"
David said this with certainty. The corners of his mouth curled into a doting smile as he thought, âMy fiancée really surprises me all the time.
Danielle looked up and met his gaze, smiling and showing a set of small white teeth.
"Is there any other identity I donât know about?" David lowered his head and gently caressed Danielleâs face.
"Iâve told you everything. Itâs no fun."
David thought, âIt seems that she has other identities. Anyway, we have plenty of time ahead of us. One day, I will get to know her.â
"Miss Russell, did you make out my state of mind when I played the piano?" he asked.
"Why donât you tell me about your state of mind?"
Danielle said, immediately knowing that he was about to say a certain something again...
"Thereâs infatuation, thereâs fondness, thereâs a racing heart, thereâs attachment, and thereâs the feeling of missing someone day and night..."
David looked at Danielle affectionately. These pleasant words of love came so easily as if they did not require any effort.
Danielle raised her little hand, thinking, âI can answer this question as well.
"And an abundance of love," she said.
David was amused by Danielleâs appearance, finding her so cute. He said, "Youâre a pro at saying sweet nothings..."
Danielle blushed at Davidâs words and quickly changed the subject. "Thereâs a swing over there. Do you want to go sit on it?"
"Alright."
The photographer suddenly found his job very easy, thinking, "The two of them have top-notch looks, so thereâs no need to deliberately find angles.
Any random shot feels like a scene from a movie.â
