It was a new house. He really couldn&#8217;t go on living in it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The house was a villa with a market price of million dollars. A small company like Universe design co. LTD couldn&#8217;t afford it at all.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   If he brought a lawsuit against us, Universe design co. LTD would not be able to stand in the industry and would soon go bankrupt.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I felt guilty.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After all, it was all because of Henry&#8217;s death.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie took the coffee and went to the construction site.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I took a taxi to Universe design co. LTD.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I went in, I found the front desk empty. In the office where I used to work, there were several cubicles with only computers.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It seemed that the designer who sat there before left.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I went to Angie&#8217;s office.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I saw a lot of things on her desk as usual.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I walked around and finally got to Daniell&#8217;s office.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I put my ear to the door and heard him on the phone. He seemed to be borrowing money.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I could hear his tone was humble.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I felt very sad.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It was all my fault.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I found the card Sherry gave me from my bag and knocked on the door.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When Daniell saw me, he was obviously panicked. I could see his face was very bad. He had dark circles. It seemed that he hadn&#8217;t slept well for many days.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He said to me with a wry smile, &#8220;June, why are you here?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I put the card in his hand. &#8220;Daniell, there&#8217;s 170000 dollars in this bank card. There&#8217;s not much money. You take it. My grandma said that Cook Family would put its bonus in this card every year. Now it&#8217;s almost the end of the year. It should be soon.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But Daniell didn&#8217;t take my card.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He put the card back in my hand and raised his mouth. &#8220;June, even if I have difficulties, I won&#8217;t ask you to help me.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Daniell.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t want to embarrass him, but now what happened at Universe design co. LTD had made him in trouble.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Daniell clapped my hand and said, &#8220;I have something to do. I can&#8217;t accompany you today. I&#8217;m sorry.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Then he picked up the suit on the hanger and put it on him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   A few weeks ago, this suit suited him well. Now it was a lot looser.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I walked around in empty Universe design co. LTD alone. I was sorry to see those empty tables.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In the evening, when I came home, Sean was at home.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I hid in the guest room alone, trying not to see him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Later, I lay in bed and fell asleep. I didn&#8217;t know how long I slept. I heard my cell phone ring. I picked up my cell phone and answered it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I put my cell phone by my ear.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Hello, do you know Daniell?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It was a young man speaking dialect.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   These words awakened me instantly, &#8220;I know him!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I saw it was Daniell&#8217;s phone number.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He explained the situation to me. It was basically that Daniell was drunk and his phone had a password set, so he could only call the important person he had set up.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   And I was the only important person he set up&#8230;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   So he called me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I thought of Daniell&#8217;s haggard look when I saw him in the daytime, and I got nervous.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I promised to go there at once.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was 12:20 p.m.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I put on a dress and went out.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I arrived at the gate of the community. Now there was no taxi, and there was no online car appointment.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I was very anxious, a black car came out of the underground garage and slowly stopped in front of me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As the window came down, Sean sat in the car and said, &#8220;where are you going? I&#8217;ll give you a ride.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Although I didn&#8217;t want to, I was more worried about Daniel, so I got into the car.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Daniell was eating in a seafood restaurant.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I got there in Sean&#8217;s car, the parking lot in front of the restaurant was empty.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It seemed that all the guests had gone.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I quickly got out of the car and looked around for Daniell&#8230;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In the dark, I heard someone vomiting.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I followed the sound and saw Daniel squatting on the edge of the tree, vomiting at the hole.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I held him and shouted, &#8220;Daniell!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Daniell&#8217;s consciousness was a little fuzzy by now. He looked at me. His eyes focused a little and he smiled, &#8220;June, why are you here?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Daniell, you&#8217;re drunk. I&#8217;ll take you home.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;No&#8230;I&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Daniell vomited again.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   People who were drunk were very heavy. I squatted down and could hardly hold him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Daniell puked for a while, but he didn&#8217;t wake up at all. He leaned on me and said excitedly, &#8220;June, don&#8217;t worry. Universe design co. LTD won&#8217;t go bankrupt. Today a president said, as long as I drink those ten glasses of wine, he will invest 2.8 million dollars for me!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was very sad to hear what Daniel said.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It was all my fault, wasn&#8217;t it?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But he drank desperately!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I knew I couldn&#8217;t say that now. I could only say, &#8220;Daniell, you&#8217;re very good. Universe design co. LTD will get better and better.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was just squatting. I couldn&#8217;t get up at all.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean came to help me put Daniel in the back seat.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The smell of wine quickly spread in the luxurious car. I apologized to Sean, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry President Jessop, he&#8217;s drunk.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean glanced at me through the rearview mirror and started the car without saying anything.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As soon as the car started, I heard that Daniel was about to puke. I was afraid of soiling Sean&#8217;s car, so I went to pick up his puke by hand.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But the thing on my hand was very light as if it was just a few drops of saliva.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   By the dim street light, I saw the palm of my hand was a little dark red.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It was blood!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Daniell!&#8221; I got nervous and said to Sean, &#8220;President Jessop, can you take us to the hospital?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The car went on. I didn&#8217;t know if Sean would agree.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I took care of Daniell all the way. I fed him water, wiped his blood and then let him lean on my shoulder and pat him on the back with my hand.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Finally, the car stopped.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I turned around and found out that this was Holy Heart Hospital.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Actually, I wanted to refuse to come here, but I was afraid to delay Daniell&#8217;s illness.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But I had to open the door.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Several doctors had been waiting at the gate of the hospital for a long time. As soon as the car stopped, they ran over and put Daniell on a stretcher.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   And then sent him to the hospital.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was trying to follow in but my wrist was caught in the man&#8217;s palm. A huge force pulled me, and the next second I bumped into a strong hug.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   There was a man&#8217;s sullen voice over my head. &#8220;He can definitely get the best treatment here.
