Genius Girl

Chapter 144 - 144: Danny's mother

With no option left, Glen opened her lips with his hands and blew air inside.

He once again pumped her chest and blew air in her mouth.

He started to get worried, Evan was still in his study after Camille interrupted their talk.

He moved his face closer to her, as his lips touched hers, his body froze.

He blinked, he stayed frozen with his lips on hers, his eyes were staring at her now opened eyes which were changing colors in every second and at that moment the memory he had from when he met Danny's mother flashed in his mind.

"That's enough Glen, I think she's alive."

It was Ken's voice.

Glen pulled away and sat on the ground. He helped Daniella to sit up and patted her back slightly.

"Are you alright?" he asked in concern.

Daniella nodded and gave him a weak smile.

"Where's Evan?"

When he heard her question, Glen's hand stopped from patting her back. He moved away and turned to look at Ken.

"Can you get Evan, he's in the study."

Ken left, but he peeked a glance at Daniella only to see her looking at Matthew who's still sitting by the tree with a headset on and looking up at the sky.

Daniella turned to Glen, "thank you for saving me," she said gratefully with a weak smile on her lips.

"Its nothing," he replied.

Daniella went silent as she filled her lungs with air, her mind contemplated the memory she saw when Glen's lips touched her.

It was her memory, she saw her own memory. The time she was saved in the bas.e.m.e.nt.

'Was I thinking too much of Aaron that I saw my own memories? ' she asked herself.

Since she met him, she has been thinking a lot about what he said. She didn't want to admit it but there's a chance that Aaron might be one of the boys that helped her escaped the bas.e.m.e.nt.

"What happened"

Daniella's thoughts were disturbed when Evan rushed to her. He kneeled to the ground while Ken and Camille were behind him.

"I slipped and fell," Daniella moved her face closer to Evan and rested her chin on his shoulder, "I was not careful," she continued but her eyes were narrowed and focused at Camille who was avoiding her eyes, anxiously squeezing her hands.

"I should really teach you how to swim Daniella," Evan said in relief, he got up carrying Daniella and turned to Glen, "thanks Glen," he gratefully smiled at him.

Glen shrugged a shoulder, he looked at Daniella who was in a daze staring at Camille.

Meanwhile, Ken rose a brow after hearing Daniella. Then he looked at the woman next to him only to see how pale her face was.

When Evan past them, Daniella was still staring at Camille.

Ken pursed his lips, Daniella had a smile on her lips, it was weak but wicked in his eyes, the way her round eyes were looking at Camille, it was as if her black eyes were secretly devouring Camille's soul.

Ken shivered by the thought. When Daniella looked at him and their eyes met, his skin crawled.

Tears of fear formed in Camille's eyes as she watched Evan's figure disappeared in front of her.

She gulped anxiously, wondering why Daniella didn't tell Evan the truth, if she did, he would have sent her away by now.

She's planning something, Camille knew that. The way she stared and smiled at her, it gave her chill like she's alone in the cinema watching a horror movie.

--

Night came and Daniella was still on the bed. She has been laying for so long that she started to feel bored.

She blew her cheeks and looked to her right only to see Evan sitting on the single sofa next to the balcony door staring at the night sky.

She's about to get up when Evan looked at her with narrowed eyes, "rest Daniella," he ordered coldly.

Daniella laid back and pulled the blanket up to her neck, she stared at the ceiling and blinked her eyes repeatedly.

"Babe I survived drowning but I might die of boredom here," she said pouting her lips.

Evan chuckled and got up, he strode towards her and stretched a hand, "Glen said that if he was just a minute late, you would have been-" his voice became rough that he couldn't finish his sentence.

Daniella accepted his hand but, instead of pulling herself up, she pulled him down and he obediently lay next to her.

"But he came on time that's why I am here."

Evan laid on his side to face her, his head was elevated and being supported by his palm while his elbow was on the pillow, "we should start with your swimming lesson tomorrow. The maids are not here so you don't need to hide your scar," he said as his other hand played with her hair.

"I don't want," she refused, "damn it! Scott, Robert! Come in and stop blabbering nonsense there," Daniella suddenly yelled, "I am still alive so there's no reason to open a freaking champagne!"

After saying that the buzzing sound in the hallway stopped and the door was slowly pushed opened.

Robert and Scott came in, both of them had their heads lowered to the ground in guilt.

They stood by the end of the bed, Evan got up and decided to leave them alone.

With a wrinkled face, Daniella grabbed two pillows and threw it at them.

"You useless fools! I almost die, where were you?" she yelled switching her sight between Robert and Scott.

"I was grooming the grass in the garden," Scott said as he courageously met her eyes.

Seeing that Scott was telling the truth, Daniella focused on Robert with narrowed eyes.

"I was feeding the ducks," Robert answered, he looked at Scott to avoid Daniella's eyes.

Daniella rose a brow, "ducks? We don't have ducks!" she exclaimed.

Robert gulped hard, "are you sure? I was feeding some in the garden."

Daniella knew he was lying, the way he was avoiding her eyes, it sent her a different idea.

"Fine, I want those ducks on the table later for dinner Robert."

Robert shrugged, "fine but when are you planning to continue with your real-life Daniella?" he asked, a dark expression was on his face.

Daniella went silent.

"I know you didn't fall to that pool, so did Camille push you?"

She nodded, then Robert sat next to her, he held her hand and tapped it twice.

"Should I bring her to the warehouse?"

Daniella shook her head, "no, not yet."
