She really didn't want to be so pitiless to break such a heartfelt scene.
But, although she felt distressed, she still couldn't help it, and still called in a low voice, "Daniel."
Her voice was so low, and the man was so tired after fighting the gunmen with his bare hands earlier that day, that he didn't wake up at her first call.
After he napped for a short while, Sven came down to check on them, and he also thought that Janet might have also already arrived.
When he entered the patient's room, he saw Janet standing near the bedside.
"Jane..." called Sven.
Janet turned around, and made a "shush" gesture to stop talking, and Sven noticed her bloodshot eyes.
When he moved his eyes onto the bed, he instantly understood what was going on.
He then went forwards to pat Daniel on his shoulder and wake him up, but Janet tried to stop him. Anyway, it was too late, and the sleeping man suddenly opened his eyes.
Janet's heart ached when she saw the man's weary bloodshot eyes.
"Jane!" cried Daniel. He was still thinking of her before he had fallen asleep, and now, just as he woke up, the first thing he saw was her beautiful porcelain face.
He was really happy, and he quickly stood up from the chair where he had fallen asleep in, but his hand was still tightly gripped by Kate.
He noticed Janet's tear-filled red eyes, which made Daniel feel kind of guilty that he pulled away Kate's hand with force.
Daniel called her name again. "Jane!" He came up to her, but Janet quickly turned around and ran out of the room.
Daniel looked back at Sven, and asked, "When did Jane arrive here? And what did she see?"
'Is she angry because Kate was holding my hand just now?' wondered Daniel.
Sven took a look at his wristwatch, and answered, "She's been here for only a couple of minutes, but she saw what was happening in here clearly."
Then he threw to Daniel a helpless glance, and Daniel immediately rushed out and ran after her.
But when the elevator reached the ground floor, Janet had already drove the Mercedes away.
Because he didn't have a car, as he came to the hospital by an ambulance, Daniel helplessly watched her drive away in the distance.
But then, soon enough, he saw a taxi coming, and Daniel stopped it and asked the driver to drive him to the Waterside Apartment Complex.
He didn't have any cash on him, but he was so anxious to see Janet that he took off his expensive wristwatch and gave it to the driver.
The driver suspected whether the wristwatch was a real one or a fake, and whether it was valuable enough to cover for the cost of the ride.
But thinking of his destination, the Waterside Apartment Complex, which was a high-grade expensive neighborhood, the driver thought that he had earned a great deal with this ride.
When Daniel arrived, he opened the apartment's door, and felt relieved to find that Janet's bedroom door was closed.
He knocked at it, and said, "Jane, please open the door."
But no one answered.
Daniel called her name for a few more times, but she still didn't respond to him, so he had to go and search for the spare key to open the door.
On the pink bed, the woman was lying to one side with her dolls in her arms, with her back against the door, still wearing her coat.
Daniel opened the door and came over to her, and explained in a low voice, "Jane, nothing happened between Kate and me. She took a gunshot today for me, and before you arrived she had a nightmare, and that's why I didn't push her away and let her hold my hand."
Janet pulled away his hand, which was resting on her arm, and peacefully replied, "OK, I knew it."
But it was obvious she wasn't acting normal. Daniel smoothed his short hair while thinking about it, and said, "Come on, please take off your coat and have a good sleep!"
He was about to help her take off her coat, but Janet suddenly sat up from the bed and pushed Daniel away with all her strength.
