What did he mean, was he that kind, Layla said he had feelings for her but she still didn't believe it, who would order this and that around someone they cared about all day, sometimes even acting cold to everyone, it was hateful to see.
So when Erasmus realized the problem, she flatly refused: 'No need, someone is here to pick me up."
"Who?"
Luke's voice showed no emotion, his face was cold as ice.
There, there, he showed this face again, as if she had some grudge against him, Erasmus coughed and said: "My driver, ah, he's here."
Erasmus saw the taxi she called, she didn't say goodbye to Luke but went straight to the car, opened the door, and sat in.
Through the rearview mirror, Luke saw that there was only one taxi behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not at ease and followed that car.

It was raining outside, raindrops splashed against the glass, blurring the space outside. Daisy leaned on the bed, absentmindedly looking out the window. She missed him, missed him so much, especially when it rained like this, she missed him even more.
She remembered that every time it rained, she would pull him to sit in front of the round table near the window to watch the rain, sometimes when she wanted, she would draw rain. At times like this, the atmosphere between the two of them was very harmonious and warm. It was raining outside, but inside the two of them hugged each other, listening to music or telling old stories. Although she was the one who told the most stories, being with him like this made her feel happy.
Now that happiness was gone, she was left alone, coldly looking out the window, not knowing what she was seeing, only his figure vaguely appeared before her eyes.
Half a month had passed but she felt like it had just happened yesterday, the happiest day had turned into the most painful day, and her heart ached, if it weren't for the child in her belly, she was afraid that day she would have followed him.
No matter how strong Daisy was, she couldn't calm down before Atlas's death.
"Atlas, tell me, what would have happened to me and our child if it weren't for you, tell me, why can't I even see you in my dreams, why?"
Daisy monologued, every day was like this but no one responded to her.
The room was silent, not a sound, she didn't know what to do next, other than sitting here day after day, she couldn't do anything else. At this moment, the door of the room opened, but Daisy didn't care. Everything around her was just like air.
The people who came were Winifred and Erasmus. Both of them were free today, so they didn't make an appointment to visit her.
Normally, Winifred would run to two places, one was to take care of Mr. Drkov in the hospital, and the other was to visit Daisy to see how she was doing. It could be said that the two of them were now considered friends.
Previously, Winifred was in trouble and was immersed in grief. Daisy had comforted her many times, but now that Daisy was in pain, she also came to her side. Although Winifred's ability to comfort people was somewhat lacking, she was considered a kind-hearted person.
As for Mr. Drkov, because of Atlas's matter, she and Dalziel had not yet completed the divorce proceedings, so he was still her husband's grandfather. She still had the responsibility to visit him.
Speaking of the Drkov family, no one but her had visited Mr. Drkov.
'Haix, Daisy, how long are you going to be like this? The dead are dead, the living must live well, looking at your spirit like this, the child will also be greatly affected, you don't want the child to be born sad like you, right?"
Erasmus really couldn't bear to see Daisy sad.
When mentioning the child, Daisy reacted, but it was only a small reaction, she still kept an indifferent expression.
Erasmus had no other choice, no matter how many times she advised her in the past half month, it was useless, Daisy only had one expression.
Winifred couldn't help but say: "Daisy, I know this period is extremely difficult for you, but you know, the Drkov family has no grandfather as the master, no you, everything is messed up by my mother-in-law, the servants are all afraid of her, many of the people you hired before were chased away by her, they begged me to speak for them and were slapped by my mother-in-law, are you going to just watch her ruin the Drkov family? It's not wrong to say it's ruined, these past few days, I don't know what Mrs. Nenito is looking for, but from top to bottom, from inside to outside the villa, she's ransacked everywhere, everything is in chaos."
Even so, Daisy still didn't react, the two of them working together couldn't shake one person, Erasmus was a psychologist so she knew that if she wanted to pull Daisy back, she couldn't be hasty. Well then, she had done her best, a person who was sinking into the abyss of suffering and despair, to pull them up, there must be a rope, and even if there was a rope, it had to be seen whether they wanted to hold it or not. Daisy was standing at the bottom of the abyss and she didn't want to step up, so no matter what the people around her did, it was useless. Mrs. Cara held the plate of apples and stood at the door, looking at her daughter for a while but didn't step in. This period was difficult for her. As a mother, she could only support her child by her side, the rest depended on Daisy.
And these past few days, the company's situation had been extremely tense, right now Dalziel didn't have the chairman's seal, so everything he did was difficult, and Heulwen kept squeezing him by his side, making it even more difficult for him to achieve his goals.
Speaking of the bomb placed under Atlas's car, the police were also investigating, but all the clues seemed to have been destroyed. The police also checked the car and the scene, but they couldn't find any more clues. The case had reached a dead end.
The police also didn't have any more clues.
On the contrary, someone gave the police one or two small clues, which made them switch to investigating Dalziel. Today, two policemen suddenly came to the company to find him, which made Dalziel a little scared, but when he talked to them, he was still very confident as if the incident had nothing to do with him.
In the end, the police couldn't find anything useful. Dalziel watched their departing figures and just sneered, "A bunch of troublemakers."He was struggling to find the land title and the seal of the villa when the stupid police arrived, making him even angrier.
Another month passed, and Daisy recovered a little, her spirit was also much better, and she told her mother that she wanted to go to the hospital to visit Mr. Drkov. Mrs. Cara was worried at first, but with Daisy's determination, she let her go.
She also followed her. For more than a month, she had quit her job at the company and had only been by her side wholeheartedly. No matter what, her daughter was still the most important.

Hospital.
Thanks to the care of Winifred and Mr. Drkov's assistant, Mr. Drkov's condition also improved a little, when he saw Daisy coming, he tried to sit up. "Grandpa, I'm here to visit you." Daisy looked at her thin and frail grandfather with a bit of heartache. Not only was she immersed in the pain of losing her husband, but her grandfather also had to endure the pain of losing his grandson. What could be more heartbreaking than a white-haired old man sending off a young man?
'Are you okay, I heard from Winifred that you are pregnant, right?" Thanks to Winifred's words, he was able to stand up. It seemed that God had mercy on this old man. He had lost his grandson but still had a great-grandson.
