After Being Cheating

The look on Janet's face instantly changed, and she looked at Daniel with her eyes burning bright with rage.

Daniel cast a warning glance at Sven, but Sven smiled, and instead continued to tell Janet, "He had to do it. He was alone with Shirley in the car at that time, and when Shirley was about to get stabbed, Daniel pulled her away, and the dagger went into his arm instead."

While answering his phone, Daniel looked at the two people sitting on the sofa, whispering to each other, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Not knowing what Sven was talking to Janet, all of a sudden Daniel saw the initial tender look in Janet's eyes turn into a blazing rage.

He quickly finished speaking on the phone, "Ask them to decorate everything according to my strict initial requirements. I'll go and check them myself tomorrow. That's it for now, and if there are any other problems, contact me again later at any time! Bye!" He finished uttering his words over the phone, and without giving the man on the other side of the line any chance to speak, he hung up.

As soon as he saw Daniel putting his phone back inside his pocket, Sven immediately stopped speaking.

Before Daniel came near them in the ward, Sven quickly said to Janet, "Jane, remember to watch him take his medicine!"

Soon enough after, Sven disappeared from the ward, and Janet was pretty shocked by his swiftness.

Daniel held Janet from the sofa and asked her to sit on his legs, but the woman refused him instantly!

"Is Sven stirring up trouble between us again?" asked Daniel. He gripped her wrists, to prevent her from moving away from him.

Janet struggled and eventually got rid of his right hand. She then pulled Daniel's right arm sleeve, and indeed, there she saw a scar on his elbow.

He figured out what Sven had told Janet.

"Jane..."

"Don't call me like that!" she yelled. She was jealous! And she was also feeling uncomfortable with the whole thing!

Why did Daniel have to risk his life to save a woman who had betrayed her?

Looking at the angry look on her face, Daniel tittered, and said, "It won't happen a second time, alright?"

When he found out that Shirley had always tried to stir up trouble between them, Daniel had decided to be merciless with her.

That meant that he wouldn't even look at her even if she was dying in front of him.

Janet confronted him, and said, "Daniel, are you always sacrificing your life to save other women, huh?" 'You've saved Kate Song, then Shirley Zheng, and now me!' thought Janet.

Daniel dragged her into his arms, and Janet tried hard to struggle, but she accidentally touched his wound on his left arm.

It was painful for Daniel, and his face instantly turned pale. When she saw him, Janet immediately stopped her struggles.

She felt her heart break, but she pretended not to care about it, and said, "You deserved it! Anyway, you don't even love me at all!"

'Why is she saying that I don't love her again? Didn't I confess my love to her last night? Is she doubting my words?' wondered Daniel.

He then suddenly came up with an idea. He drew back his right arm from her waist, and instead gripped tight on the bandage on his left arm.

"Ouch!" Daniel's face then became even paler from the shrieking pain.

Janet immediately stopped him, and anxiously yelled, "Daniel, are you crazy!"

'He's mad! He's hurting himself now!' thought Janet.

When she saw the bandage becoming soaked in blood, Janet began to be panicked and distressed. She tried to blow air over his wound, but soon realized that her efforts of stopping his pain were in vain. Her eyes were filled with tears.

"If no one cares about me, then just let me die!" said Daniel.

...

With tears flooding from her eyes, Janet looked at Daniel, wiped her cheeks, and said, "Daniel, you are so childish sometimes!"

'As an adult man, how could he act so childishly?' wondered Janet.

She ran to the bed and pressed the calling button. She wanted to ask for a nurse to come in and change Daniel's bandage.

After that, Janet was standing beside the bed, with her back against Daniel, and took a tissue to wipe off her tears.

"Come here!" ordered Daniel.

"No!" She was looking out the window, still sobbing.

She was angry that he had hurt himself! Didn't he already know that her heart was aching because of him?

In fact, she wasn't really angry of what Sven had told her.

She was well aware that, although Daniel looked very cold on the surface, deep inside he was actually a kind and loving person.

No matter who needed his help, Daniel, as a real man, couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Janet was angry at him because instead of coaxing her, he had chosen to hurt himself! She was furious because of that. And she was also... very aggrieved.

Daniel then called Sven. He said, "You've made my wife cry!"

"What?" Sven was perplexed, and thought, 'Is Jane really crying? Seriously?'

"Yes! Listen carefully to me! You have to compensate for my wife's sadness now"

...

'What nonsense is he talking about?' wondered Janet. She went over to him and was about to take away his phone, but he grabbed her by her waist, and made her on his lap. Meanwhile, a young nurse knocked at the door, and pushed it open.

Ignoring the other presence in the room, Janet went out of her mind at him, and yelled, "Daniel! Haven't you learned your lesson yet? Do you really want to die? Do you want your daughters to grow up without having a father?"

The young nurse was dumbfounded, and marveled at Janet's words. 'Mrs. Si is so great! She dares to talk to Mr. Si this way! Will Mr. Si get angry now?'

But the young nurse was even more shocked when she witnessed Daniel's reaction.

Daniel moved his phone away, and with a tender voice, he coaxed the woman in his arms, and said, "Be good, please don't get angry. It's all my fault..."

...

Janet softened her heart instantly, but still pretended to be angry at him and continued to stare at him. She then remembered that the young nurse was standing behind her for some time, and she quickly jumped off of his legs.

"Please, help him bandage his wound again," said Janet to the nurse.

"Bandage... Oh! Yes... Okay!" answered the nurse, slightly stammering. The young nurse affectionately looked at Daniel, and thought, 'Oh! Mr. Si is so handsome and loving when he has this tender look in his eyes!"

But almost immediately after this, she received a cold and warning stare from him, and began to feel more and more frightened. With her legs slightly trembling, she immediately ran out of the ward. Daniel was still talking with Sven on his phone. He said, "You'll compensate by paying with your hospital shareholdings. One percent of your shares for each one of Janet's teardrops!"

Hearing him, Janet thought, 'What a dishonest businessman! He's absolutely nothing else than a dishonest businessman!' Janet had now seen with her own eyes how cunning Daniel really was!

On the other end of the line, Sven had just entered his office. When he heard Daniel's, he immediately leaned against the wall, and protested, "Daniel Si! I'm your friend!"

'How many teardrops have poured from Janet's eyes? Thousands? She's such a cry baby! Does he think that I'll hand her the hospital just like that?' thought Sven. "You said we are good friends, but don't you know that you shouldn't have flirted with your friend's wife?" asked Daniel.

Sven kept on mumbling his protests, and said, "Hey! When did I ever flirt with your wife? Daniel, please be more responsible with how you use your words!" Janet couldn't tolerate their conversation anymore, and she took away his phone, and said, "Sven, just forget about it! Everything's okay now. That's it, bye!" The call ended, and Sven looked at his phone with a puzzled look on his face. He felt that he had been fooled by the couple.

Then, moments later, an older nurse came in and helped Daniel change his bandage.

Janet silently stood next to him, and helped Daniel take off his shirt.

When she saw the man's strong chest, Janet's face instantly flushed red, and thought that Daniel was indeed a great temptation! [
