Charlene yawned and bumped straight into Jennifer. "Ouch, Jennifer, what's wrong?"
Jennifer didn't respond as she went upstairs, slamming the door shut.
It was obvious she had argued with Daniel again.
As Charlene walked downstairs, she felt guilty and dared not meet Daniel's eyes.
Daniel smiled and handed her breakfast.
"Jennifer is already miserable enough, Daniel. If there's anything you can do, just help her," Charlene said sympathetically.
She said it out of guilt as well. After all, she couldn't resist running to Daniel's bed last night.
Daniel shrugged. "Do you think she'd believe anything I say?"
Charlene froze for a moment and could only shake her head helplessly. Their relationship was irreconcilable, yet they were still entangled with each other.
She couldn't comprehend it.
Charlene quickly finished breakfast and left.
On the other hand, Daniel had nothing urgent to do. He planned to refine the pills for Emma's treatment. While he was at it, he also planned to prepare medicines for Luciana's illness.
He just didn't want Jennifer to know about it, which was why he told her that praying and a clean diet might help.
Jennifer seemed angry, but deep down, she couldn't help but follow his advice.
"I'm heading out. Don't think you can shake me off," Jennifer stated firmly before opening the door and leaving.
Daniel scoffed and shook his head, not paying her any mind.
