Chapter 34 How Did You Know

The next second, there came a clear slapping sound.

It went so quiet in the room. As Lisa calmed down, she covered her cheek in a daze. Did Chloe really hit her just now?

But Chloe had never hit anyone as far as Lisa knew. Well, today, Chloe hit her.

But Chloe didn't regret it. She knew that only in this way could Lisa calm down and listen to her.

Chloe took a deep breath, steadying her trembling hand, "I'm sorry. I know you have every reason to shout and scream. But you have to compose yourself and move on."

At this moment, Lisa sat there without any word or expression.

"Can we have some privacy here?" Chloe asked.

Hearing this, everyone else had left the ward. Now there were only Chloe and Lisa here.

Chloe cut to the chase, "Lisa, I have known you for so many years. You have always said that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And I hope you can still remember that and do as you said. Everyone has his vulnerable moment and I get that. But do not try to kill or hurt yourself. It will only please the ones who tried to hurt you. Do you want that?

"I know you feel unfair and wonder why you have to go through this. I feel so sorry for that. But you can't change what has happened. You can only live with that and move on. Think about your dad. Can you imagine how devastated he will be if he loses you? I believe you will come around and make the wise decision."

Then, Chloe turned around and left without waiting for Lisa to reply.

She knew that her best friend would choose wisely.

As Chloe went out, she met Nancy. "Nancy? Why are you here?"

Nancy greeted her with a smile, "Chloe, I heard what happened to Lisa. So I come and visit her. Is she alright?"

Well, Chloe felt so weird about why Nancy heard it so quickly. Did Daniel tell her about it?

At this moment, Daniel came back, carrying breakfast in his hand.

"Nancy? Why are you here?" Asked Daniel.

It turned out that Daniel didn't tell Nancy about it. In this case, why did she know?

Nervous suddenly, Nancy clutched her handbag and smiled, "I came here to pay my visit. I wanted to come with Ryan but I thought he must be sleeping. So I came by myself."

"Right, but how do you know what happened to Lisa? I didn't expect you to be so well-informed." Chloe muttered. Clearly, she already suspected Nancy.

Nancy remained calm. She took out the phone and explained slowly, "I saw the news."

Oh no. The news was still everywhere?

Chloe immediately turned around to look at Daniel.

"I already asked them to delete all news. But it takes time." Daniel answered quickly, seeming to know Chloe's question without her asking.

So Nancy might have seen it earlier.

Chloe sighed slightly. She knew Daniel had tried his best to help her.

"I saw it last night. I wanted to call you but it's really late. So I came here as soon as I could."

"I see." Chloe nodded, "Thank you for your kindness. But Lisa is in a bad mood at the moment. It's better to leave her alone. So maybe you can visit her next time."

"What about the breakfast for Lisa?" Daniel lifted the food in his hand.

Chloe paused for a moment, "The nurse will take care of her. Let's go."

Before leaving, Nancy deliberately glanced into the ward, but she didn't see anything.

"The breakfast is very tasty. Thank you!" Chloe was eating the croissant and having the milk.

She couldn't help smiling because of the food.

"Well, you can have more." Daniel stared at her and wiped the corner of her mouth.

He really enjoyed watching Chloe eating. She looked so happy and satisfied, which made him crack a smile subconsciously.

"Nancy, why don't you have some?" Chloe saw that Nancy wasn't eating anything with the croissant in her hand.

Nancy put the croissant back. "I have no appetite right now. You can have mine."

"That's fine. She can take mine." Then Daniel gave Chloe his croissant and Chloe just took it naturally.

"Thank you. In exchange, you can have my milk." Chloe handed him her milk.

"But you just drank it." Nancy couldn't help reminding, feeling so uncomfortable about their intimacy.

While Chloe didn't get it. "So what? We even shared the wine before."

Before?

That's an ambiguous word.

Before she was reborn, they did share the same wine and food as a married couple.

But now they were just friends. It was too intimate for friends. How could she take it so naturally? Feeling awkward, Chloe wanted to explain but Nancy interrupted her.

"Oh don't get me wrong," Nancy smiled brightly, "It's very sweet actually. So sweet that I wonder if you are falling in love with each other and keeping your relationship a secret from us."

Nancy was testing and hoping they could deny at once.

Chloe didn't know what to say and thus kept silent.

While Daniel 'happened' to leave and answer the phone.

Therefore Nancy smiled reluctantly and struggled to sound cheerful. "Well, I guess I found out your little secret now."

"I have to leave now. Something happened to the Field's company." Daniel came back, his voice serious.

Chloe immediately turned worried. She was so sensitive to anything relevant to Lisa. "Does it have anything to do with her news?"

Daniel took a deep look at her and nodded.

"I will go with you."

Before leaving, Chloe went back to the ward and checked on Lisa. Seeing that Lisa was eating, she felt relieved.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Her best friend Lisa would come back soon.

Nancy insisted to follow as they went back to the mourning hall. Chloe couldn't find an excuse to decline and had to agree. While Daniel was driving, Nancy opened her mouth again.

"Chloe, don't worry. I'm sure everything will be fine. They may not be able to survive on their own. But since Daniel is here, he will solve the problem easily."

"Nancy, thank you for comforting me. But could you please be quiet?"
