As a man, he could see Knox’s intentions toward Emily all too early.

Emily hadn’t expected Daniel to think of this. “It’s true he arrived in time, and we do owe him a favor. But I also gave him the rights to a new medicine I developed, plus a patent authorization, so neither of us needs to feel burdened.

Besides, he considers me a friend, so he probably won’t use this favor to manipulate us!”

She said this with certainty, based on her memories from her past life and a natural trust in Knox.

Daniel felt much more relieved when she said she only considered Knox a friend.

Also, she said “us,” which meant she considered them as one.

Visibly, Daniel’s mood improved.

The air

shifted from cold and tense to sweet.

When York came in, this was the atmosphere he felt. He didn’t know what had happened during his brief absence.

However, Daniel was still Daniel–quick to learn anything, able to achieve whatever he set out to do.

And in this matter of winning over Emily, he seemed to be making good progress, too.

But Daniel only felt something clutching at his heart, sour and ching.

Girls Emily’s age, like Veda, were raised with endless love and care.

Even a tiny scratch, even when it was almost healed, would have a whole group of people feeling sorry for her.

But Emily said she was used to such a large wound!

He lowered his eyes, suppressing the turmoil within, and continued gently applying medicine bit by bit, while saying, “You

won’t have to get used to pain anymore. You can say it hurts, and someone will feel sorry for you.”

Emily’s heart was struck.

No one had ever said this to her before.

Even in her past life, when she was dying and coughing up blood, when she crawled away from the Johnson Villa, she was

in so much pain, her mother never cared if she was hurting; she only cared whether Bianca could get a good organ.

Emily thought that living a second life had made her heart hard like a stone, but in this moment, she was still moved.

Her eyes involuntarily reddened.
