Chapter 148 - 148. The Threat

Daniel came back in, he looked at me with a confused look. "Why Choon-hee? Did something happen?" Daniel's eyes fixed on me.

"Ah that, the ointment accidentally fell. The sun was too bright, so I tried to close the bedroom window. But instead I dropped the medicine down there." I pointed to the balcony of my room, pretending I didn't know what was going on.

"Oh, I see, it's okay. Mommy said earlier that it was just an ointment so Daddy's skin wouldn't dry out. It can be used again later." Daniel brought the food that he took from downstairs, I didn't see the suspicious look on Daniel's face at all.

does he really know nothing? Or is he just good at hiding his facial expressions?

"Daniel, do you often take care of Mr. Brandon when you are sick like this?" I asked casually.

"Daddy rarely gets sick, he's always healthy and lives well. Does a lot of things Alone, even though he can ask other people for help. I'm also taking care of him for the first time." Daniel said he was seen feeding Mr. Brandon very carefully. I, who saw this, just kept quiet, thinking about how to help Mr. Brandon not to take the drugs that Mrs. Anne and the bad doctor gave me at that time.

I feel sorry for Mr. Brandon, even though he did offend me. but I want now Daughter-in-law, I have to be well filial. Moreover, Mr. Brandon seems to expect a lot from me.

"Mr Brandon is in a lot of pain right now, I wish him a speedy recovery." I said again.

"I hope the same, although I don't know what will happen." Daniel's breath was audible.

"Daniel, I'll just go outside okay. I want to get some fresh air and have lunch. So I can't linger here." I pretended to want to leave, because I was afraid Daniel would find out if I was here too long.

"You want to go? Okay, be careful okay .." He just glanced briefly, then let me out of the room. I slowly closed the bedroom door and started walking down the stairs one by one.

I forgot something, my bag! I started to step up again to take the bag in the room. Passing quickly Mr. Brandon's room earlier, I opened the door and looked around for where I had put the small bag. After I found the bag, I took out my cellphone and started dialing Edwards' number.

When Edwards didn't answer, I kept calling him. but still the call i made didn't work.

I tried to find other help, I was just afraid if I was too quiet. Daniel will find out something, what if he kills me? if you know that I threw away the drug on purpose?

Ahhh! I'm dead! I'm not used to dealing with stressful situations like this. I tried to check the mobile number, at a time like this who can help me?

There is not any! There was no one who could help me other than Edwards.

I started thinking again...

[If you need anything, just tell me] Mrs. Berenice's words caught my brain signal, I immediately looked for the contact number. when I saw the number clearly printed, I immediately stopped the movement of the hand.

"But Edwards won't allow me to have any contact with him again." I said slowly.

Knock..

Knock..

"Choon-hee are you gone? or are you still in the room?" Daniel's voice made me bulge in surprise. I tried not to make a sound at all, quickly locking the bedroom door. then I walked to the balcony and started calling Mrs. Berenice.

I'm right! Daniel must be suspicious of something!

I waited a while for the call to be picked up, only a few moments. "Hello who is this?." asked the female voice on the other end of the line.

"Hello madam! It's me Choon-hee. Can I ask you a favor?" I asked a little nervously.

"Yes? What help do you need? Just tell me." Sounds so worried.

"Could you pick me up at the Douglas Mansion? I mean, I'm in an unpleasant situation. Maybe you can visit as my friend, will you?" I bit my nails anxiously.

The sound of a knock on the door made me even more nervous.

"Sure, I'll be there in 10 minutes." After that the phone line was disconnected, I immediately put the cellphone back into the bag and used the bag properly.

"Choon-hee! I know you're inside! Come out for a second, I have something to talk to you about." said Daniel once again, I who heard it just squeaked softly.

tsk! What did he want to talk about again?

"Yes! a moment!." I shouted quite loudly, I actually wanted to wait for Mrs. Berenice to pick me up. but it can't be right I just stay in the room? Daniel will be more suspicious and he might even break the door. although I'm not sure a door as good as that can be broken down.

I slowly walked towards the door and took a deep breath. I hope this is just my fear.

"Yes, why?." When I had opened the door wide, I saw Daniel who was very relaxed. his hands in his pants pockets.

I chose to leave the room and closed the door. "You want to go? Why go into the room again?", Asked Daniel.

"The bag I brought was left in the room, so I just took it. Why? You need something?" I asked once more, if he could just relax. I can also be very relaxed.

"You want to go now? alone?" the question was starting to lead to something.

"Yeah, to be more precise with my friend. He'll be here soon, I'll just wait downstairs." I was about to walk away from him, but Daniel grabbed my hand quickly.

now my heart is really racing, damn it! I'm scared!

"Why are you avoiding this situation? Is there something you're hiding?" once the question confuses me, what should I do Lord?

"No, I'm just in a hurry. We've been talking a lot since then, so I want to go now. Can you please let go of my hand?" I said slowly.

"No, how can I let go of someone who already knows something." He said while giving a cynical smile.

You die Choon-hee! I cursed in my heart, in this Mansion there is no one anymore. just me and Daniel, Mr. Brandon is even sick. and Granny Lecy has become a body. I'm really going to die if I don't dodge well.

"Something? What do you mean?" putting on a serious face I continued to look into Daniel's eyes bravely.

"Don't be shy, tell me what you know. If you do, I'll let you go. But if you lie one more time, maybe a little action will deter you." The threat that Daniel gave made the whole air around him suddenly constrict, damn it! Damn Daniel! if only Edwards were here.. I definitely hit this arrogant face in the face.
