Thus, Daphne dials Stairmount's number.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjot4wa8Pz2
First call. No answer. Second call. Still, no answer.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblsguTTIgO
So, the negative thought is correct?201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zRIjWCfca
Third call. Still, no answer. Daphne starts to lower the grip on her hand which is holding the minipad.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLVfd6yw6Y
Fourth call. It is still the same.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzcgltyB9O
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!201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NFWMLnFN6
Daphne moves her fingers, ready to end the call.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjo92E2Gya
"Hello."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdl2m2hGS3
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHENnVZwah
"Hello, Daphne Darling? Can you hear me?"201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdPPgREyMx
Ah... that voice. That voice which is always able to thrill and melt her heart. "Stairmount..." Finally she can move her tongue again.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb9UV42Lc8
"Yes, Daphne. You are free right now?"201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31jRJ5XP5N
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMdzg07e8j
"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!201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TnALmYcTG
"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?"201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq9g5UvjE6
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..."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ua5fOPH4e
"I am happy to hear that. I can take a breath of relief."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSerlVhGCc
"It's just... I miss Dad recently..."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccOEOz13pC
Yes, I have to make everything clear!201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMJiN42a6w
"You miss your father?"201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1xzeAfCqX
"Yes... You know? Actually, you remind me of Dad... Because you have the similarity with him. He... also worked at Mist Laboratory..."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfJNMj0F7S
"Oh, really?"201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC16KojWsD
"That's right... He also... worked as a researcher... same with you..."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGSDYeD1rN
"Really? Does it mean, we are in the same work area?"201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQaxgbOn7Q
"That's right... So... I think, you must know him..."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNNcHHdwQi
"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."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z7VY70yvS
You don't just know him... you have killed him with your hands. Daphne grits her teeth. "His name is... Warren Yalle."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfMHUYRLLM
For a moment, the atmosphere turns silent. Stairmount falls silent as she mentions her father's name.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtvBtLc9Q4
Well, then? He turns silent, which means something wrong has really happened. Daphne Yalle! Just accept this cruel reality sincerely!201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kuDMNnpd7
"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."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYV4KC8Lew
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uqwAqzwFa
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!...
