A girl was standing right in front of Xyla Quest. Her long black hair was styled into two low braids. There was a tiny daisy hairpin above her right ear, matching well with her Korean bangs.
She was wearing a snow-white nightgown with a pair of silver ballet flats.
Joy was written all over her mixed-race face. Her pair of black watery eyes were sparkling with delight.
She was Daisy Cox.
She was the girl Xyla met at Kingstell International Exhibition Hall a few days ago.
She looked radiant today.
Her anxiety and panic that day had completely vanished. There were two delicate dimples near the corners of her mouth as she smiled.
Her eyes were clean and clear. Her face was young and youthful. She looked very much like a gentle, adorable little princess.
Though her dimples were not alcohol, Xyla felt like she was getting drunk by looking at it.
“It’s me, Miss.” Daisy smiled.
“I totally didn’t expect to see you here. How’s that young man? Is he okay now?” Xyla asked concernedly.
She thought she would only meet Daisy once in her life. Never in her life had she imagined that she would encounter her here.
“Yeah, he’s alright. Well, you didn’t expect to see me here, but here we are. I came here for you today,” Daisy said sheepishly.
“Did you come here to look for me?” Xyla’s eyes were full of surprise.
“Yeah. Brother Terrell and I— Erm, I mean the ‘young man’ you saved that day… We’re here to find you. Ah, he’s there!” As Daisy spoke, she pointed at the handsome guy talking to a blonde older man not far away from them.
Xyla almost failed to recognize him. He looked totally different from the day he suffered from sodium cyanide poisoning.
He was bright and energetic. He looked like a Eurasia, with typical European features and skin tone but black hair and pupils.
