Thus, Daphne dials Stairmount's number.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSsJRcF1pT
First call. No answer. Second call. Still, no answer.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJJsrPByKl
So, the negative thought is correct?168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FrLiTyZGp
Third call. Still, no answer. Daphne starts to lower the grip on her hand which is holding the minipad.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmksrB5zdSP
Fourth call. It is still the same.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DT9n6oJx0
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!168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihx4uEhDN6
Daphne moves her fingers, ready to end the call.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYwpyR8Gcu
"Hello."168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFY37Mvkxw
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.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP1hn4hdwc
"Hello, Daphne Darling? Can you hear me?"168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EDM3Tf1ig
Ah... that voice. That voice which is always able to thrill and melt her heart. "Stairmount..." Finally she can move her tongue again.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgdbudCXa6
"Yes, Daphne. You are free right now?"168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb2mJRNb10
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.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WfGTLbXlm
"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!168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLOkq2ez1e
"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?"168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoz1OiVTpq
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..."168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBFpxL36v7
"I am happy to hear that. I can take a breath of relief."168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw7FcHGM7u
"It's just... I miss Dad recently..."168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlt384fnp8
Yes, I have to make everything clear!168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJkPdCqyYn
"You miss your father?"168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y8glzjpUP
"Yes... You know? Actually, you remind me of Dad... Because you have the similarity with him. He... also worked at Mist Laboratory..."168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqZn5VnYMd
"Oh, really?"168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUEgzLi90D
"That's right... He also... worked as a researcher... same with you..."168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUyzMhHZse
"Really? Does it mean, we are in the same work area?"168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAqnT61fve
"That's right... So... I think, you must know him..."168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo8MaB3nkK
"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."168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotWjlGtlZU
You don't just know him... you have killed him with your hands. Daphne grits her teeth. "His name is... Warren Yalle."168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLIpqy1t9z
For a moment, the atmosphere turns silent. Stairmount falls silent as she mentions her father's name.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwfQeMOMRm
Well, then? He turns silent, which means something wrong has really happened. Daphne Yalle! Just accept this cruel reality sincerely!168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nmsofngbg
"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."168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR2dhP0saJ
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.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yG0WG5XZ6
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!...
