He looked a bit tired, not really in the mood, but his eyes lit up when he saw Daisy. "Daisy, come in."
Daisy asked, "Did I wake you up?"
Frances replied, "No, I was just reading on the couch. I wouldn't sleep so early. Come in."
With that, he opened the door and let her in. Daisy walked in holding a tray. Frances gave John a warning glance, who lowered his head.
Frances went back to his room.
Daisy put the tray on the table. "Have you eaten? This dessert is really good. Want to give it a try?"
"Sure." Frances took a small bite.
As he took the first bite, he slightly pursed his lips. Daisy watched him. "Do you like it? If you do, I can learn to make it. I can't cook, but... but I'm really smart. I can pick it up quickly."
She thought the chef's dessert was delicious, even better than what she had had in the outside stores. The cake wasn't overly sweet, but had a hint of natural fruit flavor.
Frances looked into Daisy's clear and innocent eyes. He noticed something off about the taste, but didn't say anything. "I like it."
Daisy said, "Then I'll learn to make it tomorrow. I'm moving in soon, and once I've learned, I'll make it for you."
Frances nodded, with a hint of a smile in his eyes. "Okay."
"Do you like sweet or salty food?"
"I have a sweet tooth."
Daisy smiled. "Me too."
By the time Daisy got home, it was already 10 o'clock. But she took out her phone and looked up various dessert recipes. There were ingredients at home, and she busied herself until the early morning. But the finished product was a bit offputting
Dr. Jade said, "My medicine can only relieve the symptoms, but it can't solve the problem. We must get him to the hospital immediately."
Without delay, Wilton drove Frances to the hospital. The doctors and nurses were already waiting at the entrance. Frances was immediately taken into an ambulance.
Wilton clenched his fists. "John, what the hell happened?! Was it Mina?!"
John recalled what had happened. "Mr. Frances was in his room all day. Around 8 o'clock, Miss Daisy brought him a piece of fruit cake, and he ate it."
So it was Daisy. She was Mina's accomplice.
Wilton took out his phone and called Daisy. The phone rang several times before it was answered.
Seeing the unknown number, Daisy asked, "Who is this?"
On the other end of the phone, a threatening male voice came, "Daisy, if anything happens to my brother, I'll make you pay with your life."
