Seeming to understand Nancy's question, Daniel hesitated before answering. "Maybe time will give us a good answer."
Seeing his resolute back, Nancy couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She muttered to herself, "Even so, how you can be sure that's the answer you want?"
Several days later...
Daniel happened to leave the hospital today, which meant no one would supervise Chloe. Finally, she felt the happiness of freedom.
She took out her phone and contacted Lisa immediately, "Honey, 'the Lord' is not here today. Come pick me up and let's go to have fun."
Lisa said something and then Chloe hung up the phone with a contented smile.
Hospitalized for more than a week, especially under Daniel's watch, Chloe had been living the healthiest life in the world, healthy diet and enough sleep. Just too healthy for her. She protested but Daniel said it was good for her bone recovering.
Today, Daniel seemed to be very busy, and he asked the nurse to take care of Chloe before he left.
"Great! I want to have a great time tonight!"
*****
The Blue Nightclub.
It was the grandest private club in New York, attracting guests from high society and noble families.
It consisted of three floors, and the top one was where the most famous celebrities gathered.
As a daughter of the Johnson family in New York, Chloe undoubtedly enjoyed the VIP service here, which enabled her to go to the third floor.
The luxurious Bohemian carpets, the exquisite decoration, and the expensive fancy furniture all highlighted the high-end atmosphere in this club.
"Chloe, what are we doing in the club?" Lisa pushed the wheelchair and looked around curiously.
Lisa barely came to the nightclubs, let alone the most expensive one. Stepping on the incredibly soft carpet, she was in a trance for a moment.
Chloe looked relaxed and comforted Lisa, "Don't be afraid! We are the guests here and we pay! How about ordering a pimp?"
A pimp!
The next second, Lisa pinched Chloe on her ear hard.
"Oh! You are hurting me!" Chloe grabbed her hand to stop her.
But actually, it didn't hurt much.
Lisa pinched a few more times as if to vent her anger, saying coldly, "Chloe, let me be clear. We are decent women! If you dare to order a pimp, I will never speak to you."
Chloe quickly promised, "OK, I see now. Could you stop pinching me?"
Chloe finally saved her ears from the 'devil', and she took a relieving sigh, "What are you thinking? I was just making a joke. I come here for a drink! That's all!"
Lisa rolled her eyes, "Come on! Are you sure you can drink considering your injury?"
Hearing this, Chloe looked up and stared at Lisa in a pitiful and cute way. She begged in a pleasing tone, "Please, Lisa, my gorgeous girl. Just once. I haven't had a drink for so long."
Seeing Lisa softening, Chloe knew she did it.
Arriving at the reserved room, Chloe sat on the sofa with the help of a waitress. She couldn't help drawing her tone and sighed relaxed, "Finally, it feels so good to be free."
Puzzled, Lisa was sitting next to Chloe, "Why? Can't Daniel, a pretty handsome man, make you feel fantastic in the hospital?"
Chloe turned serious immediately, sitting upright and imitating Daniel, "What do you want to eat today? Nutrition matters. Have a good rest…"
With a few words and a serious face, Chloe imitated Daniel vividly.
Lisa laughed, "No way. How can you bear him?"
Chloe gulped down the wine, and said word by word, "I could not bear him!"
Feeling free, they fully enjoyed themselves and sang the songs as loudly as they could. Well, in fact, neither of them was good at singing. So basically, they sounded like wolves howling.
"Who is singing so terribly? It must be some heartbroken girl." Ryan White shook his head with a smile, walking on the corridor.
"Heartbroken because of you?" Daniel asked in a cold voice.
Ryan retorted immediately, "Come on! I don't even have a girlfriend."
"You can have as many as you want tonight. I won't judge you." Daniel joked seriously, which made Ryan want to punch him.
He clenched his fist in front of Daniel, indicating that he was very angry right now, "Be careful about your words. I am a decent man, so I don't need these."
Daniel didn't answer.
He replied calmly after a moment of silence, "If Mr. Lee wants to order some ladies to accompany him, let him."
They had been friends for a few years, so Ryan totally understood Daniel's implication.
He smiled, "You are breaking Mrs. Lee's heart! But if we can get the contract done, I would say it's a good deal."
"He has broken his wife's heart instead of me. I'm doing my business. That's all."
Ryan didn't retort this time.
Many people were looking for sex in this club, which was not surprising at all. Cheating and lies happened a lot in the world.
They could only choose to be decent but never interfere with others' options.
As they arrived, Daniel opened the door and walked in, "Mr. Lee, I am sorry that we are late."
Mr. Lee, the bald fat guy with drooping eyes and a round belly, smiled warmly as he saw them coming in.
"Mr. Bruce, long time no see. Great pleasure to meet you again."
Daniel sat down with a light smile. "My pleasure as well. Today I come here since I have a great plan for you."
Business cooperation? Mr. Lee was grinning ear to ear.
"Sure. It's my honor to cooperate with such a young and promising elite like you."
"I am flattered."
Ryan hinted at the waiter who then left right away.
Later he came back with several beautiful women.
Seeing this, Mr. Lee smiled evilly.
Daniel's face darkened for a second but he hid it very well.
Ryan smiled tacitly, "Mr. Lee, feel free to make your choice!"
"My luckiest day ever!" Mr. Lee laughed out. He picked a beautiful woman who sat on his lap with a coquettish smile.
