Genius Girl

Chapter 166 - 166: Camille's concern

Walking along the hallway, Daniella held her chest, it was pounding uncontrollably, she knew something was wrong but she couldn't read Glen so right now, she's clueless like a baby.

She halted in front of the master bedroom, as she was about to open the door Camille called her name.

Turning her head, she found Camille running towards her. Her face screwed, the pajama she's wearing was so thin that she could almost see her soul.

"Where have you been? Evan was so worried."

Daniella rose a brow, speechless by her question.

"Daniella," Camille called her out.

She blinked, "I was with Mr. Chu," she murmured.

"I heard you got bitten," Camille looked at her leg, "are you alright?"

Hearing the concern in her voice, Daniella stared at Camille's eyes. There, she saw the concern, it was real.

Daniella looked deeply and found the memories Camille had from childhood where she was attacked by a dog and rescued by Evan.

She smiled, a real and genuine smile, "I am alright."

Camille was taken aback by the softness of Daniella's voice, she looked up and quickly withdrew her eyes. Daniella was smiling innocently at her and she somehow felt guilty for what she had done earlier.

"I will go back to my room," Camille turned to leave but, Daniella held her wrist.

"Camille, I think you're a nice girl," Daniella paused, "I am sorry for throwing your clothes and burning your magazines," she said sincerely. She knew how hard Camille worked to be a supermodel so she understood the pain when she burned the magazines.

"It's fine," Camille replied, flashing a faint smile on her lips. Inside, she suddenly wished she didn't call her manager but it's too late now, she's becoming a trend online.

Daniella giggled, showing her deep dimples, "thanks, I think you and I could become friends if not because of Evan."

Camille nodded to agree, "I love him but he loves you so you're lucky."

Shaking her head, Daniella stretched a hand, "he cares about you too," suddenly she felt a rock in her throat, stopping her from continuing her sentence. She knew that Evan cared for Camille, she was like a sister to him and she also saw how Camille soother Evan during the time he lost his brother.

"Matthew told me that you don't have plans to have a kid and if it's true-"

"It's true-" Daniella said interrupting her, "and Evan knows that."

Camille nodded, "but you should know that the Su needs to have an heir, and I know that Evan would like to have one too."

Daniella became silent, Camille was right but she didn't want to have a kid because of her situation. She was not sure whether her kid will be normal or special like her and she just couldn't picture her kids to suffer the same treatment she received from the other people.

"I appreciate your concern but for sure Selena and Matthew can make one," she smiled at her then let her hand go.

"I know you think I steal Evan from you," Daniella bitterly smiled, "but I wouldn't be here standing in front of you if your father didn't lock me up."

Quickly, awe swept across Camille's face, her brows creased, "what do you mean?" she asked.

Daniella stared at Camille without blinking her eyes, "you should ask your father, while you were having a happy childhood some other kids were suffering," tears slowly form in her eyes, "if he didn't lock me up, maybe you and Evan-" she breathed out, "just ask your father."

Daniella stepped into the master bedroom, for a moment she saw the goodness in Camille's but she's still Roman's Lee daughter and she's certain that hurting the woman will also hurt him, and that's one of the revenge she was hoping to have.

She leaned her back against the door, she shut her eyes and tears dropped in big pieces.

She's tired, she just wanted to have peace and be with Evan.

Her body slid down; she buried her face on her knees while her hands wrapped around them like a sulking little girl.

Is it possible?

Can she forget the pain Roman caused her and just continue to live with Evan?

She heard a knock on the door, she ignored it and shook her head.

Her brother's face popped in her mind, she tried to imagine his face, the pain he experienced in Roman's hands. She breathed out heavily one after another, her eyes were hot from her tears and her heart was so heavy like the time her family died.

Her mind weighted whether to give up everything and have a normal life. If she will forget her past, she can start a family with Evan. If not, then she can't, as her revenge will create new enemies, and the last thing she wanted was to put someone she loves at risk.

There was a pain in her legs from the bite marks but she didn't care about it because of the chaos in her head.

"Daniella, are you alright?" her face lifted, it was Evan's voice. She didn't want him to worry, so she sniffed and rushed towards the shower. She turned on the water, soon the door of the bedroom opened, a few steps sounded and then the bathroom door opened.

Daniella looked aside and gave Evan a smile, "Ken told me what happened," he said as he approached her, "he said thank you."

Her smile widened, the fog from the hot shower blurred and hide her eyes which were puffy and red from crying, "he should be, I don't normally save people."

He chuckled, as he leaned in the sink, his arms folded, "do I really need to sleep in the guestroom?"

Daniella shrugged her shoulder while brushing her hair which was full of bubbles, "depends, who will you save?"

Evan's smile faded, "I don't need to save you, Ken would do it himself," he's certain about it. The way his friends look at Daniella, it made him feel sorry for them. In Daniella's case, he knew very well that she only has her eyes on him.

Daniella rolled her eyes, "I doubt that and yes, you're sleeping at the guestroom."

Seeing that she has made up her mind, Evan left the bathroom.

--

Morning came, Selena in her school uniform stepped out of her room. The hallway was quiet, there's no maid and the only people in the house were her, her uncle, Daniella, and Camille.

She strode towards the master bedroom, hoping that Daniella and her uncle won't kill her for what she'd done yesterday, her head tilted when she noticed that the door was half-opened.

She walked inside, her face flattened to see her Uncle and Daniella hugging each other like koalas.

She's about to leave when she noticed a photo on the bedside table, the man in the photo seemed so familiar, so she stretched a hand and picked it up.

"What are you doing?" her uncle Evan whispered.

Selena switched her eyes between her uncle and the photo.

"Why do you have uncle's Aaron's photo?" she asked in confusion.

Evan's lips parted, he turned to Daniella and found her sleeping tightly, "you know him?" he whispered.

Selena nodded, "I haven't met him but, mom showed me some photos of him. He's mommy's brother."

Evan nodded and asked her to leave, he got up and left the room as well. His face was dark despite the blinding sun outside. No wonder Aaron knew about Daniella, he's Kierry's brother.
