Thus, Daphne dials Stairmount's number.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnRRwTynu4
First call. No answer. Second call. Still, no answer.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPAGTgEyad
So, the negative thought is correct?230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy87wadKN0
Third call. Still, no answer. Daphne starts to lower the grip on her hand which is holding the minipad.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZPkicTxc0
Fourth call. It is still the same.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHikgLs2aA
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!230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXCw3aGYf2
Daphne moves her fingers, ready to end the call.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8kpsmGjS3
"Hello."230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M6yrpyq1B
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMaqJhdFki
"Hello, Daphne Darling? Can you hear me?"230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbSVwNqQPr
Ah... that voice. That voice which is always able to thrill and melt her heart. "Stairmount..." Finally she can move her tongue again.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDED2kDeJiC
"Yes, Daphne. You are free right now?"230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkJBhcEd2U
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQsDLK7SYi
"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!230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDloGbO0wVd
"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?"230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRi4AzLhMQ
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..."230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHdneMWnjK
"I am happy to hear that. I can take a breath of relief."230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF8TzTLIXw
"It's just... I miss Dad recently..."230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k70LKjWo6
Yes, I have to make everything clear!230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RHrH2mTt3
"You miss your father?"230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnyvCHU3Fw
"Yes... You know? Actually, you remind me of Dad... Because you have the similarity with him. He... also worked at Mist Laboratory..."230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX8tSWJiAj
"Oh, really?"230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdsAyJdynY
"That's right... He also... worked as a researcher... same with you..."230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedVBukmZzj
"Really? Does it mean, we are in the same work area?"230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyuz3zKWos
"That's right... So... I think, you must know him..."230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBamTTBhBa
"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."230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW5IINhqJo
You don't just know him... you have killed him with your hands. Daphne grits her teeth. "His name is... Warren Yalle."230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTRwcHu6bo
For a moment, the atmosphere turns silent. Stairmount falls silent as she mentions her father's name.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKRyecWikl
Well, then? He turns silent, which means something wrong has really happened. Daphne Yalle! Just accept this cruel reality sincerely!230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yVQkeOgZY
"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."230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18iqeNQ9qy
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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBbwFeXdi8
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!...
