Chapter 413: Edward Stephens, my mom has died.
Daisy Ginger’s breath caught slightly, and she pressed her lips tightly together, looking at Edward Stephens’ cold and indifferent face.
If he really meant what he said, and intended to do this, she seemed... to have no options.
Daisy gingerly exhaled, closed her eyes to calm herself down, and then took a step forward.
After taking a few steps, her nape was suddenly grasped, and she bit her lip, enduring the pain, as he pulled her back and pressed her against the transparent glass door.
"There’s nothing to talk about between us," Daisy looked at him, "I’m going back."
"When did I say you could go back?"
He lowered his head, his gaze deep and dark, the faint gentleness on his face had turned into ice and snow, with a cold indifference exuding from his brows.
"Then what do you want to do?" She laughed, "Kill me and abandon my body in the wilderness?"
Edward Stephens looked at the smile on her face, and at that moment, he really felt the urge to kill her.
"After all this time, is it true that from the beginning to the end, not even in the slightest, have you ever had feelings for me?"
"..." Daisy’s pupils contracted slightly for a moment, she raised her head, silently looking at Edward.
Her silence, in the man’s eyes, was an affirmation.
If it wasn’t a lack of love, how could one resort to such despicable means to take revenge on their lover?
"Edward, my mother died."
Daisy said softly.
"I could have gone to see her, but she died, and I can never see her again."
She looked at his face, and smiled.
"Today when your father hit you, and I saw your aunt rush to protect you, I was really envious."
"..."
"You have something that I can never have again... Can you imagine, one day, if your aunt were killed by someone?"
Edward paused slightly.
"If one day, someone killed your mother, what would you do? Would you personally avenge her and kill the enemy? But I can’t do anything."
She lowered her head, her voice carrying a hint of a faint laugh.
"I know who killed my mother, and I know how she died, the person who killed her is right in front of me, but when I stand in front of him, I can’t do anything. Do you know how much I want to take a knife and stab him to death? As long as I can avenge her, I wouldn’t mind dying. But I’m afraid."
She lifted her head, tears glistened in her eyes, yet there was still a smile on her lips.
"I have nothing left, but others still have their lives. I can’t, for my own selfishness, cause my friends to suffer as well. So, I can only endure, because I have no other choice."
"However, even if I can’t do anything, I shouldn’t continue to stay here."
"... Am I to pretend that I know nothing and just live happily with you in your home?" she took a deep breath, her voice hoarse, "I am indeed weak, Alice Lesser’s life really doesn’t count for much, you all are so high above, as long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter, you don’t need to consider others’ feelings, as long as you satisfy yourself... But why should I pretend to not know anything just to make you happy, why should I make you happy?"
Unravel all the truths hidden in the darkness.
The knife pierced in her heart pierced his as well.
How can you know everything, yet expect me to pretend I know nothing?
Edward remained silent for a while, then said, "That day, you were already awake."
Daisy bowed her head, "I don’t know if I was awake or not, I only know I heard it."
