Thus, Daphne dials Stairmount's number.89Please respect copyright.PENANAPZaK09PJ9a
First call. No answer. Second call. Still, no answer.89Please respect copyright.PENANA70IdqEg97a
So, the negative thought is correct?89Please respect copyright.PENANAHHs8NMW8Mc
Third call. Still, no answer. Daphne starts to lower the grip on her hand which is holding the minipad.89Please respect copyright.PENANAJTmNW6DSnd
Fourth call. It is still the same.89Please respect copyright.PENANA6LUtJ6FzQk
Alright then... forget him. I indeed have to trust Paynet. He is indeed cruel and heartless. Besides, he must have found another woman. Forget him, Daphne!89Please respect copyright.PENANAoUDI45zUad
Daphne moves her fingers, ready to end the call.89Please respect copyright.PENANAghNjg1BTcQ
"Hello."89Please respect copyright.PENANAUzWhJOVpGr
Daphne feels as if her heart has stopped beating. It is Stairmount's voice. Stairmount has picked up her call!

In her haste, she puts the minipad closer to her lips. But as she opens her mouth, her voice can't even come out.89Please respect copyright.PENANA51YIITmXYr
"Hello, Daphne Darling? Can you hear me?"89Please respect copyright.PENANAAyj5jmd8Vs
Ah... that voice. That voice which is always able to thrill and melt her heart. "Stairmount..." Finally she can move her tongue again.89Please respect copyright.PENANAKatJdkin56
"Yes, Daphne. You are free right now?"89Please respect copyright.PENANAvLl0YPDad5
Stairmount's voice remains unchanged. As if nothing has ever happened, even though they have been out of touch for a week. A week, which is like a year for her, and how severe it has shocked her life. However, Stairmount is still acting like nothing has ever happened.89Please respect copyright.PENANAGySZMO6EJm
"Stairmount... you... how are you going?..." Daphne must exert her effort just to move her paralyzed tongue. No, I can't lose to that negativity. I have to make everything confirmed!89Please respect copyright.PENANAyD9H1jN8GK
"I'm fine. Well, I've been a bit busy lately... you know. They indeed deliberately blow up the news about me. It really makes me so tired... but I can still handle it. How about you? Are you alright? How is your Mom?"89Please respect copyright.PENANA7Jec4RLYuV
Daphne curves a slight smile. Look, how can a heartless and cold-blooded person care for a middle-aged woman who is useless to him? "I am fine... Mom is also fine..."89Please respect copyright.PENANAbrmCsSUp0b
"I am happy to hear that. I can take a breath of relief."89Please respect copyright.PENANA2HM8ZRzHpm
"It's just... I miss Dad recently..."89Please respect copyright.PENANAceGWdLCvSY
Yes, I have to make everything clear!89Please respect copyright.PENANAqIBx0zBOQP
"You miss your father?"89Please respect copyright.PENANAcEccmhUAQU
"Yes... You know? Actually, you remind me of Dad... Because you have the similarity with him. He... also worked at Mist Laboratory..."89Please respect copyright.PENANA55cgjQXQsk
"Oh, really?"89Please respect copyright.PENANAQXGWsYphC9
"That's right... He also... worked as a researcher... same with you..."89Please respect copyright.PENANAbl04B7Q2vm
"Really? Does it mean, we are in the same work area?"89Please respect copyright.PENANAaD6P51MZVb
"That's right... So... I think, you must know him..."89Please respect copyright.PENANAAdLGV8R1SN
"Ah! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Can you tell me his name? Maybe just like what you said, I know him."89Please respect copyright.PENANAY2uE8qwrkd
You don't just know him... you have killed him with your hands. Daphne grits her teeth. "His name is... Warren Yalle."89Please respect copyright.PENANAYPejFLqZD7
For a moment, the atmosphere turns silent. Stairmount falls silent as she mentions her father's name.89Please respect copyright.PENANA0UQF7xj9Dv
Well, then? He turns silent, which means something wrong has really happened. Daphne Yalle! Just accept this cruel reality sincerely!89Please respect copyright.PENANAG46te7qr9w
"Stairmount... we will get married, right? We will become husband and wife. You once said, we should know more deeply about our respective personalities. So now, can you tell me everything about you in detail? What actually have you done in the past? Because as your future wife, I must be clear about this matter. Everything about you."89Please respect copyright.PENANAaIK8CvN0rW
This time, Daphne's voice is clear, calm, and smooth. Just like her objective, she has to make everything clear. This problem would not be solved if she just runs away from it, in order to solve this problem, she thus has to face it bravely.89Please respect copyright.PENANAGH3Hf8D2x3
Yes, Stairmount. Say that you are just forced to do this. Just like you are forced to spread the Sierra Pathogen in Saturn because they take your parents as their hostages. Say it, prove your innocence!...
