Thus, Daphne dials Stairmount's number.101Please respect copyright.PENANA10AxFDPbV7
First call. No answer. Second call. Still, no answer.101Please respect copyright.PENANAydT3vcwBBH
So, the negative thought is correct?101Please respect copyright.PENANA4mCC2Ap65V
Third call. Still, no answer. Daphne starts to lower the grip on her hand which is holding the minipad.101Please respect copyright.PENANAM962lZGlSn
Fourth call. It is still the same.101Please respect copyright.PENANAvd8SfcRK5N
Alright then... forget him. I indeed have to trust Paynet. He is indeed cruel and heartless. Besides, he must have found another woman. Forget him, Daphne!101Please respect copyright.PENANAKkZZenn2l2
Daphne moves her fingers, ready to end the call.101Please respect copyright.PENANARyBupce55E
"Hello."101Please respect copyright.PENANA4nGhEVQdZR
Daphne feels as if her heart has stopped beating. It is Stairmount's voice. Stairmount has picked up her call!

In her haste, she puts the minipad closer to her lips. But as she opens her mouth, her voice can't even come out.101Please respect copyright.PENANAkpvPmRh0DD
"Hello, Daphne Darling? Can you hear me?"101Please respect copyright.PENANAAdhq8Nbe0T
Ah... that voice. That voice which is always able to thrill and melt her heart. "Stairmount..." Finally she can move her tongue again.101Please respect copyright.PENANAAGsmAPHryB
"Yes, Daphne. You are free right now?"101Please respect copyright.PENANASKPqHBkZpn
Stairmount's voice remains unchanged. As if nothing has ever happened, even though they have been out of touch for a week. A week, which is like a year for her, and how severe it has shocked her life. However, Stairmount is still acting like nothing has ever happened.101Please respect copyright.PENANAr7bxJdnb5m
"Stairmount... you... how are you going?..." Daphne must exert her effort just to move her paralyzed tongue. No, I can't lose to that negativity. I have to make everything confirmed!101Please respect copyright.PENANAfHumePK7CR
"I'm fine. Well, I've been a bit busy lately... you know. They indeed deliberately blow up the news about me. It really makes me so tired... but I can still handle it. How about you? Are you alright? How is your Mom?"101Please respect copyright.PENANAGpD90ZKMEG
Daphne curves a slight smile. Look, how can a heartless and cold-blooded person care for a middle-aged woman who is useless to him? "I am fine... Mom is also fine..."101Please respect copyright.PENANAZIMYZUpwEa
"I am happy to hear that. I can take a breath of relief."101Please respect copyright.PENANAEq8aBUHgnl
"It's just... I miss Dad recently..."101Please respect copyright.PENANAdsY1yyTmoR
Yes, I have to make everything clear!101Please respect copyright.PENANA2lhkSxZSQT
"You miss your father?"101Please respect copyright.PENANA7iuKcli3Pp
"Yes... You know? Actually, you remind me of Dad... Because you have the similarity with him. He... also worked at Mist Laboratory..."101Please respect copyright.PENANArAxFkalZGK
"Oh, really?"101Please respect copyright.PENANAi6dpdheYz4
"That's right... He also... worked as a researcher... same with you..."101Please respect copyright.PENANATbn997fi02
"Really? Does it mean, we are in the same work area?"101Please respect copyright.PENANArPUBdeZ0l3
"That's right... So... I think, you must know him..."101Please respect copyright.PENANABKxsBCu6DZ
"Ah! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Can you tell me his name? Maybe just like what you said, I know him."101Please respect copyright.PENANA9F2MgHwQLx
You don't just know him... you have killed him with your hands. Daphne grits her teeth. "His name is... Warren Yalle."101Please respect copyright.PENANA0npAwZnRum
For a moment, the atmosphere turns silent. Stairmount falls silent as she mentions her father's name.101Please respect copyright.PENANAdDx7f17JyK
Well, then? He turns silent, which means something wrong has really happened. Daphne Yalle! Just accept this cruel reality sincerely!101Please respect copyright.PENANAv4FKbA7W1f
"Stairmount... we will get married, right? We will become husband and wife. You once said, we should know more deeply about our respective personalities. So now, can you tell me everything about you in detail? What actually have you done in the past? Because as your future wife, I must be clear about this matter. Everything about you."101Please respect copyright.PENANAI1MEaeLCjB
This time, Daphne's voice is clear, calm, and smooth. Just like her objective, she has to make everything clear. This problem would not be solved if she just runs away from it, in order to solve this problem, she thus has to face it bravely.101Please respect copyright.PENANAcAeRSVjWFY
Yes, Stairmount. Say that you are just forced to do this. Just like you are forced to spread the Sierra Pathogen in Saturn because they take your parents as their hostages. Say it, prove your innocence!...
