Chapter 79 Misunderstanding Her and Daniel
Inside the ward, Winnie had just regained consciousness after receiving emergency treatment.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Daniel. Her gaze darkened again. She hoped to see L and placed her hand over her stomach.
Daniel lowered his head and said coldly, "Don't worry, your child is fine. It's you who suffered multiple severe injuries while protecting the child. Some bruises are deep, and you can't take medicine. It will take a long time to heal through conditioning."
Winnie felt it. Every movement caused excruciating pain.
She was extremely thirsty and asked, "How was I released?"
Daniel didn't know either. He hadn't seen Olivia.
After considering it, he wanted to demonstrate his merits and said, "I went to the Davis family and pleaded with the old man..."
"You saved me?" Winnie was suspicious. Daniel, motivated by selfish intentions, didn't deny it either.
Wasn't it L? True, he hasn't shown up yet... A touch of bitterness flashed through Winnie's eyes. She lowered her head and coughed.
"By the way, where's Olivia? She wouldn't abandon me. If you say you didn't see her, is she in trouble with the Harrington family?"
Daniel frowned as he listened to her painful cough.
He hurriedly helped her up and said, "You should focus on recovering from your injuries first. I will help you deal with these matters."
"No need." Winnie pushed him away. Looking at this man again, her heart was filled with emptiness.
"Daniel, you don't have to do all this. No matter how much you do, it's meaningless. The only feeling I have for you is the hatred you had when you wanted to kill me back then. If you truly feel guilty towards me, give me my grandfather's address book. If there are any other clues, tell me as well."
Daniel's face froze.
She was so heartless.
The address book was a card he held. If he gave it to her, he understood that he would have no connection with her anymore.
However, thinking about the address book... Daniel's expression became somewhat evasive.
Suddenly, he asked, "Winnie, your uncle..."
Winnie had lost contact with her uncle for all these years. He had long since severed ties with her grandfather and went to another country.
The last time she heard about her uncle was when she was kidnapped and brought back. Sophia secretly told Matthew that they would eventually deal with her uncle.
"Do you know...?”
"What about my uncle's news?" Winnie asked immediately.
"On the contact book, there's a phone number that might be able to reach him..." Daniel looked at her,
"Don't worry, let's talk about these things after you've recovered."
Winnie knew he was trying to string her along and was about to speak when suddenly a surge of nausea overwhelmed her, and she felt the urge to vomit.
As Winnie tried to get up, she was hit with a wave of pain and started convulsing.
"What's wrong?" Daniel panicked.
"I'm going to vomit... it might be morning sickness." Winnie's eyes turned red from discomfort.
With her body covered in injuries, it's possible that her stomach was affected, intensifying the morning sickness.
Daniel immediately helped her out of bed. It was only then that Winnie noticed she was wearing a man's sweater.
"Is this your sweater?" Winnie furrowed her brows and asked.
"Your clothes got torn, and there were no patient gowns in the ward. I didn't want you to catch a cold, so let's not dwell on this for now. Let me carry you to the bathroom."
Winnie had no strength to take off her clothes. She weakly allowed herself to be carried into the bathroom.
As soon as she reached the bathroom, Winnie vomited uncontrollably.
She was gasping for breath, barely hanging on. She never expected morning sickness to be this severe.
Unable to stand up while gripping the toilet, she suddenly felt like crying. If only Lawrence was here for her first bout of morning sickness.
Tears quietly fell down her face.
"What's wrong? Is it very painful?" Daniel thought she was in physical pain, quickly hugging her waist to fetch some tissue.
Winnie trembled and couldn't catch the tissue. Daniel's heart ached at the sight, trying to help wipe her mouth, but she evaded it.
He lowered his head to search, helplessly chuckling, and “Are you repulsed by me to this extent, Winnie? I know that whatever I do right now, you find it unnecessary..."
"Daniel, you saved me and I'm grateful, but..."
Suddenly, the bathroom door was kicked open forcefully!
An icy air of hostility had been lingering outside for a long time. Winnie felt a chill run down her spine, her pain making it impossible to turn around.
Daniel froze upon seeing the masked man at the door, but he instinctively held Winnie even tighter.
He was still in the posture of heading towards Winnie's lips, and the two of them were facing away from the door, looking ambiguously intimate.
In L's eyes, it was clearly an arousing kiss.
The man's gloomy eyes were filled with an overwhelming darkness, and he even heard the woman's soft and fragile voice saying, "Daniel, you saved me and I'm grateful..."
"Daniel, who is it?" Winnie finally managed to slowly turn around.
"Mr. L!" At this moment, Darcy rushed in, clutching the man's shirt sleeve, seemingly wanting to hold him back.
But Winnie's gaze immediately shifted and she saw Darcy appearing to hold the man's wrist, entering together.
How did they end up together? Lawrence arrived late and brought Darcy along.
Looking at it like this, it unexpectedly seemed like they were a couple.
Winnie's tear-filled face stiffened, completely unaware that Daniel was still supporting her. The four of them faced each other, the air filled with a heavy silence.
Mr. L stared at Daniel, his hand firmly around her waist.
With a hint of disdain, his rage surged, and he walked over, forcefully pulling Winnie away.
He kicked Daniel's leg with his expensive leather shoes, exclaiming, "How dare you touch her? You're asking for death!"
"You leave her alone!" Daniel's expression immediately changed, Winnie was already heavily injured, and he couldn't let this go on!
The man's veins bulged even more when he heard that! He pulled Winnie aside without a word and went straight to beating Daniel to the ground.
The cramped bathroom instantly turned into a battlefield.
At first, Daniel managed to fight back, but after a few exchanges, L pinned him down and beat him until he coughed up blood.
Wide-eyed, Winnie watched as L's violent side emerged.
He was ready to fight to the death, and she was afraid someone might get killed. Holding her stomach, she walked over and tried to stop him from attacking, wanting to help Daniel up.
"What are you doing, L? Do you want to kill him?"
With a piercing gaze, the man raised an eyebrow and glanced at her with bloodshot eyes. "You actually dare to plead for this scumbag? Is that what you're doing by helping him up?"
Startled by the coldness in his words, Winnie felt a jump in her heart.
With a frown, she couldn't help but voice her grievances, "L, are you crazy? Attacking someone immediately upon your arrival? Have you ever considered how I feel?"
"What feelings do you want? Aren't you two engaging in a clandestine affair here? Oh, you even thanked him for saving you, wishing to offer yourself to him right here in this restroom, kissing each other passionately. Winnie, are you not filthy and shameless? I never expected..."
L's chest was filled with furious rage!
He had abandoned the tricky case he was working on, ran back to Lymington desperately to save her, ignored his status to intervene with the Harrington family, and was restrained by the old Mr. Rodriguez to return to the Rodriguez family.
Under pressure, he still wanted to take her on, confront the old man. Even if she had harmed his company, he still turned a blind eye. He had suffered through a restless night solely to witness this scene?
The man's usually cold and tough heart felt as if it had been kicked hard.
Does she not remember the scene where Daniel had her pinned down on the couch? Back then, he could overlook it because she wasn't his at the time!
Now, she belonged to him! Does she even understand that or is she just another promiscuous woman who has soaked in the business world?
L's gaze towards her was filled with icy coldness.
