I sat down on his bed and gave a wry smile, “but that person won’t be me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why?” Daniell got up and sat next to me. He took my hand. “Sean has nothing to do with you. He’s going to marry Molly, right? You are independent and free. You don’t belong to anyone!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t take my hand back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell looked at me and said anxiously, “if you are worried about my parents, you can rest assured that I will deal with it and never let it happen again.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But it’s not fair to you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t care. I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Danielll.” Before Daniell said something that made me feel more guilty, I interrupted him and said, “Daniell, do you think my relationship with Sean started when I married him for Molly?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Isn’t it?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell was stunned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I shook my head and slowly said, “no, I love Sean for many years. The first time I met him was when I was ten years old…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat by Daniell’s side and told him all about my first meeting with Sean and my persistence in those years. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was the second person to know that except Daisy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell sat there and listened quietly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He let go of my hand and lowered his head. I heard him sneer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He said, “I came too late.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry. He hurt me like that. I wanted to get him out of my mind, but I tried many times and found I couldn’t. I can only build a wall in my heart so that he won’t hurt me, but he is in that wall and can’t come out.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If I could, the person I wanted to love was Daniell. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At least I didn’t have to be so sad. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell listened and nodded. “I see.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wanted to say Angie was good, but I hesitated for a while and didn’t say it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This was Daniell’s own business. I shouldn’t interfere too much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He took a look at his cell phone and got up. He smiled and said to me, “let’s go, or you’ll be late for work. I’ll drive you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At that time, the morning sun shone on his face like a holy light. He was so good-looking. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him and lost my mind for a moment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was a good man. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If only I loved him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I muttered in the bottom of my heart. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, it was not a reality. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell tidied up his clothes and helped me with my bag and opened the door for me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We went downstairs together. Because of the lack of time, he didn’t check out and drove me to work first. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He took me to the company gate and handed me the bag. He waved at me. “I’ll see you next time I come to York.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I nodded and closed the door. I didn’t enter the company until his car left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I got to the office in the morning, I got an internal call from Lucius asking me to go to his office. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I put down my bag. I didn’t even have time to make coffee. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I got in, he asked, “June, who was the man who helped you yesterday? He even saw such a slight difference.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“My friend.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I smiled. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was the one I trusted the most. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lucius sat on the chair and said happily, “because of the high level of your work, you have been confirmed in advance that you are in the final. Go back and get ready! Don’t disgrace me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes, boss.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Actually, I was not surprised. After all, if we didn’t pass, the company wouldn’t have to work so hard. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then I reported my progress to Lucius. He asked a designer to come and let her follow me. If I took part in the design competition, she was ready to take over my work at any time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The two of us connected our work all morning. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was free again, I found my cell phone was still in my bag. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took my cell phone out of my bag and saw two calls from Daniell and seven or eight voice messages on it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t think much and clicked on the voice messages. At first it was noisy, and then Daniell’s voice came out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“June, I’m sorry. I may not be able to see you…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“June, I love you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why don’t you answer my phone? I’d like to tell you that by myself…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I love you. You have to live a good life. You…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I love you…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I love you…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He kept repeating that he loved me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At that moment, my heart suddenly felt very sad. I had trouble breathing! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A foreboding rose in my heart. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I picked up my cell phone and called Daniell back, but no one answered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was in a great panic. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I called the hospital and asked if there was a car accident in the city and if anyone had been taken to the hospital when Daniell called me in the morning. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They told me there was no car accident but there were several other incidents. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I asked the patient’s age. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was not Daniell. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I was sure Daniell must have had an accident. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was two hours since he called me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Anything could happen in these two hours! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was at a loss, my phone rang. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was Daniell! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Daniell!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I picked it up and shouted excitedly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The man on the other side of the phone seemed to be in a daze. He was silent for a moment and then said, “madam, do you know the owner of this phone?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes! What’s wrong with him!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had already guessed it was not Daniell who might be on the phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The man on the other side of the phone said they worked in the hospital between York and Daniell’s hometown. They got Daniell on the highway. Now his condition was very critical. Because Daniell’s phone was locked, his family had not been contacted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I called him so they called me back directly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard the man on the other side of the phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hung up and took a taxi to the hospital. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It took me an hour to get there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I rushed to the rescue room! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
However, the light of the rescue room was off. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I rushed to the desk and asked them about Daniell’s condition. A male doctor came over and saw me and asked, “are you June?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” I nodded and asked anxiously, “where’s Daniell? How is he? Is he out of danger?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The male doctor looked at me. He was wearing a mask so I couldn’t see his face. I saw him frown and there was some sadness in his eyes. He said to me, “I’m sorry for your loss.” <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
