"OK. She is pregnant, so please tell me as soon as you get some news about her!" Janet was so worried about Shirley that she couldn't refuse Brian's kind heart and help.
Brian nodded. "Janet..." he said. He wanted to speak, but then suddenly stopped on a second thought.
Janet looked at him questionably, and asked, "What's wrong, Brian?"
"Can you give me Daniel's phone number. I want to... say my thanks to him."
If it weren't for Daniel, he would not been standing here safely.
"Yes?" Janet looked at him perplexed. Did he want to say thanks to Daniel? "Why?"
"When I was about to save you, Daniel also saved my life!" Though he was unwilling to confirm it, he knew that the real reason why Daniel helped him was that he really wanted him to protect Janet. But in any case, Daniel had saved him.
At that moment Janet felt really sorry for Brian because he had mistaken his enemy as his savior.
"Brian, is it really necessary? Do you know..." But Janet couldn't tell him the truth.
Brian simply gazed at her.
Janet took a deep breath, and tried her best to say, "Daniel wanted... to kill you."
She couldn't stand the bad guy running away from the criminals! Yes! That was it!
"Janet, I think you've mistaken..."
"Ah?" It was Janet's turn to be doubtful.
"Daniel didn't want to kill me. He turned up, and saved me from the terrorists with his two shots." One of the two bullets was aimed at Brian's head.
Janet couldn't believe it.
Daniel didn't want to kill Brian after all... The two bullets launched at him were to save him...
She was now surprised, perplexed, guilty, and excited... All of these emotions suddenly came flooding into Janet.
She remembered the night when she had unjustly accused Daniel, and realized why he was so disappointed. She could feel his disappointment now, but she forced herself to ignore it.
Brian could now understand Janet's complex facial expressions.
"Remember Janet, I'll always be with you."
Brian then kissed her and left.
'Janet, be brave and go and chase for your true love. It's OK if you fail, I'll bet there. I'll be waiting for you forever...' thought Brian as he stepped out of the room.
Janet's head was filled with apologies to Daniel; she had to forget about Brian's strange behavior.
She tried to be brave and called Daniel. But he rejected the call...
Janet then also felt really disappointed.
She had to guess that Daniel, as the mean person who he was, would not forgive her so easily.
At the SL Group
Kate quickly deleted the caller's ID and then put Daniel's phone back in the same place. After that, she kept reading the documents she was handling.
A little while later, Daniel came out of the bathroom.
The two continued talking about their usual business.
On the other hand, after about a month of daily protests, Janet finally came out from the hospital.
