Janet cried, and hastily nodded, "Yes! Yes, I get it! Bastard... No! Daniel!"
She took her words back under the man's threatening look.
Daniel satisfactorily took her in his arms, and asked, "What's the matter?" She cried out because she hadn't put any clothes on her yet!
Ignoring her cry, he brought her to the wardrobe, where he found many clothes on hangers.
Some of them were Janet's, and some were Daniel's.
He put the woman on the couch and took out some clothes from the closet... He had first wanted to take out a dress, but he looked at the woman curled up on the couch and took out one of the hotel's white bathrobes instead.
"So, do you want to go out tonight?" But judging from the love bites on her body, he thought that she might not have the energy after all to go out.
And he was right! Janet hastily shook her head, and said, "No, I just want to go to sleep!"
She quickly put on the bathrobe Daniel gave her and tied it's cord around her waist. Daniel took her in his arms again and went out of the closet.
"Let's have dinner first." He put her on the chair by the table, and then he brought her a pair of slippers and put them on her feet.
The doorbell rang, and Daniel pressed the button to unlock the door.
"Excuse me, room service with you dinner!"
With Daniel's permission, the waiter came in with the dining pushcart into the room after Daniel had just put the slippers on her feet.
Seeing that dinner had arrived, Janet gobbled up almost all the food to fill her empty stomach.
Seeing that she was full, Daniel put down the fork and knife and then wiped his mouth with a napkin.
He left the dinning table and then pulled her to the living room, and said, "Follow me."
Janet was confused. 'What happened?' she thought.
She then all of a sudden remembered her nightmare, and her face went white, and wondered whether Daniel wanted to ask her about that...
Her breath intensified, because she really didn't want to recall her past... She pulled herself away from his grip on her hand, and said, "I... I have to leave!"
She was so panicked that she instantly rushed to the door, forgetting that she was wearing a bathrobe and slippers.
The man called out to her, "Jane!"
She then stopped, with her hand still slightly shaking. As she had expected, she heard the man say, "Jane, tell me through what you've been through these last years!"
'Through what I've been through?'
Many horrible scenes came in her mind, and she breathed heavily and staggered to the door with her weak legs.
Daniel grasped her by the wrist again, and hugged her.
When he hugged her, he had also felt her fear. He said, "Don't worry, I'm here now. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."
She had just closed her eyes and buried her face in his arms. She tried not to think about the things that had happened to her.
"Daniel... Maybe I'm not that good enough for you." She had taken drugs, smoked, stolen things, and she had even been whipped...
Daniel got angry, "Nonsense!"
He pulled her out of his arms, and while he stared at her empty eyes, he sternly said, "Jane, it was all my fault that you had to go through all those things in the first place! Never say such things again!"
'Not good for me!' He didn't allow her a moment to look down on herself! She was, and would always, be the Shao family's little princess and his!
She gradually came back to her senses and looked at his cold face. "I..."
She shook her head because she was still really afraid, and still didn't want to say anything. Although it had been a long time since those things had happened, she still felt afraid... She was scared that she would be suddenly caught by them again...
