Chapter 389 - 349: Bottom Line
Daisy Zane and William Butch were on the rooftop for a long time, none of them engaged in conversation, they were just standing there looking down.
It wasn’t until William sneezed twice from the cold that Daisy took him back to the ward.
On their return, Holt Lawrence was waiting for them at the entrance to the ward.
He wore his shirt as if it were a cloth ripped from somewhere, his demeanor was scattered and rather weary.
He had, however, shaved his beard and had his hair trimmed.
He looked more spirited and refreshed compared to the last time Daisy saw him.
The last time Daisy encountered him at the Celestial Pivot, she thought he was drained by some Fairy Clan creature.
William cast him a glance and then lowered his head without speaking.
Daisy led him back to the ward.
Holt Lawrence looked at him and said, “Child, there’s a computer that I brought for you on the bedside table, feel free to use it.”
William stopped in his tracks, his lips moved slightly without speaking, then he entered the ward.
Once the room door closed, both Daisy Zane and Holt Lawrence shifted a bit to the side.
Holt Lawrence asked, “How is he? Has he recovered?”
Daisy glanced at him.
Holt Lawrence said, “Oh. It’s a psychological issue with him, it has to be taken slow.”
“Let him reflect on it himself for the time being, continue to have him watched closely to prevent him from doing anything rash.”
“Hmm. Are you going back? Do you want to visit the Celestial Pivot?”
“Another day.” Daisy said, “Let the doctor prescribe him some cold prevention medicine, his physical constitution is too weak.”
“How about you train him?” Holt suggested.
Daisy looked at him.
“James Collins wasn’t much older than him back in the day.” Holt continued, “Back then, he was bullied to the point of not even being able to eat properly, now isn’t he freely roaming across the various continents.”
Daisy glanced at the ward, “He’s not the same as James.”
“True. James always wanted to live at any cost, that kid was very tenacious.” Holt also looked towards the ward, “This child he would consider suicide.”
“First, let him ponder about it.”
“Alright.”
Holt left with her. While they were waiting for the elevator, Daisy received a call from Anisa Cooper.
As soon as the call was answered, Anisa blurted out, “Lucia! Have you seen the news online yet!”
“What happened?”
“A man, who claims to be from Cold Green Village. He said, said that you ” Anisa was at a loss for words for a while, she wasn’t able to phrase it in a way that sounded nice, so she blurted out directly, “He said that you were with him when you were in Cold Green Village, and that you carried his child.”
Daisy raised her eyes to the elevator, her indifferent eyes immediately hardened.
Holt noticed her discomfort and turned his head to look at her.
“Lucia, he also said, he also said. You had, had an affair with many people from the Cold Green Village.” Anisa said quietly, “His words were specially offensive Sister Emily is handling the public relations, her phone is exploding. She asked me to inform you.”
As she spoke, her voice choked up, it was apparent how offensive that man must’ve been that it drove Anisa to tears.
Anisa sniffed and continued, “Lucia, the news is spreading rampantly online. Third Master might’ve seen it. We all know it’s not true. But what about Third Master’s family?”
Daisy squeezed her icy fingertips, another call came in.
Without looking, she said, “It’s alright, I’ll handle it.”
“Lucia, where are you? I’ll come and keep you company.”
“No need.”
After hanging up the call, Daisy wanted to check the news on her phone but Harton Clark’s call came in.
Her finger hesitated on the end call button, it then moved and put her phone away, “Let me use your phone.”
Holt handed her his phone.
Daisy opened Facebook, and without even having to search, she saw the trending topic about her.
She clicked on it, and then directly played the video.
In the video, a man who seemed to be in his late fifties, with dark and slightly rough skin, was dressed in the unique costume of Cold Green Village.
His accent was heavy, but what he was saying was still understandable.
He roughly talked about Daisy having relationships with many people in the village while they were dating.
Claiming that she had conceived his child, but aborted it.
He even gave specific details concerning where Daisy had relations with him and others. It all took place at Daisy’s home.
The details of the house that Daisy lived in, the kitchen she cooked in, and the furnishings inside were all described by him.
His words were disgusting to listen to.
He also mentioned the reasoning behind his visit to the Imperial Capital and recording this video.
It was to confront her, as to why she was involved with others while dating him.
