After Being Cheating novel Chapter 114

She really didn't want to be so pitiless to break such a heartfelt scene.

But, although she felt distressed, she still couldn't help it, and still called in a low voice, "Daniel."

Her voice was so low, and the man was so tired after fighting the gunmen with his bare hands earlier that day, that he didn't wake up at her first call.

After he napped for a short while, Sven came down to check on them, and he also thought that Janet might have also already arrived.

When he entered the patient's room, he saw Janet standing near the bedside.

"Jane..." called Sven.

Janet turned around, and made a "shush" gesture to stop talking, and Sven noticed her bloodshot eyes.

When he moved his eyes onto the bed, he instantly understood what was going on.

He then went forwards to pat Daniel on his shoulder and wake him up, but Janet tried to stop him. Anyway, it was too late, and the sleeping man suddenly opened his eyes.

Janet's heart ached when she saw the man's weary bloodshot eyes.

"Jane!" cried Daniel. He was still thinking of her before he had fallen asleep, and now, just as he woke up, the first thing he saw was her beautiful porcelain face.

He was really happy, and he quickly stood up from the chair where he had fallen asleep in, but his hand was still tightly gripped by Kate.

He noticed Janet's tear-filled red eyes, which made Daniel feel kind of guilty that he pulled away Kate's hand with force.

Daniel called her name again. "Jane!" He came up to her, but Janet quickly turned around and ran out of the room.

Daniel looked back at Sven, and asked, "When did Jane arrive here? And what did she see?"

'Is she angry because Kate was holding my hand just now?' wondered Daniel.

Sven took a look at his wristwatch, and answered, "She's been here for only a couple of minutes, but she saw what was happening in here clearly."

Then he threw to Daniel a helpless glance, and Daniel immediately rushed out and ran after her.

But when the elevator reached the ground floor, Janet had already drove the Mercedes away.

Because he didn't have a car, as he came to the hospital by an ambulance, Daniel helplessly watched her drive away in the distance.

But then, soon enough, he saw a taxi coming, and Daniel stopped it and asked the driver to drive him to the Waterside Apartment Complex.

He didn't have any cash on him, but he was so anxious to see Janet that he took off his expensive wristwatch and gave it to the driver.

The driver suspected whether the wristwatch was a real one or a fake, and whether it was valuable enough to cover for the cost of the ride.

But thinking of his destination, the Waterside Apartment Complex, which was a high-grade expensive neighborhood, the driver thought that he had earned a great deal with this ride.

When Daniel arrived, he opened the apartment's door, and felt relieved to find that Janet's bedroom door was closed.

He knocked at it, and said, "Jane, please open the door."

But no one answered.

Daniel called her name for a few more times, but she still didn't respond to him, so he had to go and search for the spare key to open the door.

On the pink bed, the woman was lying to one side with her dolls in her arms, with her back against the door, still wearing her coat.

Daniel opened the door and came over to her, and explained in a low voice, "Jane, nothing happened between Kate and me. She took a gunshot today for me, and before you arrived she had a nightmare, and that's why I didn't push her away and let her hold my hand."

Janet pulled away his hand, which was resting on her arm, and peacefully replied, "OK, I knew it."

But it was obvious she wasn't acting normal. Daniel smoothed his short hair while thinking about it, and said, "Come on, please take off your coat and have a good sleep!"

He was about to help her take off her coat, but Janet suddenly sat up from the bed and pushed Daniel away with all her strength.

"Jane, don't you trust me?" asked Daniel. He tried dragging her by the arms, but she accidentally touched his wounds on his left shoulder.

The pain felt so sharp that he closed his eyes in an instant, but without letting out a single word.

Janet didn't know about this yet, and she kept pushing him away, and said, "Leave, I want to sleep alone tonight!"

"OK, OK, I'll go, but please don't be angry, " said Daniel. Daniel was pushed back by Janet all the way to the bedroom's door, and Janet pushed him out and shut the door without any sort of hesitation.

But Daniel still knocked twice at the door, and said, "Have a good rest! We'll have a good talk tomorrow morning!"

Janet curled her lips when she looked at the closed door. The bedroom's heating was enough to warm up the room for the night.

Then she took off her coat, and gloomily holding her dolls, and she began to fall into her deep thoughts.

Early next morning, the apartment's doorbell ringing sound woke Janet up, and she could also indistinctly hear someone talking in the other room.

When she got out of bed and opened the bedroom's door she found that Daniel was already dressed in his office clothes and had already put the breakfast, brought earlier by Spark, on the table.

When Daniel saw that Janet was up, he came over to her and smoothed her messy hair. "Go and wash and then have your breakfast. I'm kind of busy today, and I have to leave now, " he said.

Spark was standing in front of the apartment's door. Janet stared past Daniel at Spark, and asked, "Spark, where're you heading to so early in the morning?"

Spark grinned a slight smile, and explained, "Miss Shao, as Miss Song has..."

"Spark!" A cold voice cut in on their conversation and Spark stopped talking immediately.

But Janet had already understood where they were going.

She stepped back, and said, "I knew it; you can go. I'm going to wash now." Janet then closed the bedroom's door and then went into the bathroom.

While she was brushing her teeth, she fell again into her deep thoughts.

'Why am I so angry? No, instead, I should settle things when I get angry! But how to release my anger? I have to settle things, or both of us won't turn out so well, ' thought Janet.

Then Janet came up with an idea, and she quickly finished washing and then had her breakfast.

In Chuck's private hospital

Daniel was wearing a brown overcoat, and with his hands in his pockets, he stood deadpan at the bedside, and told Kate, "Take good care of your wounds, rest, and don't worry about your business. If you want to eat anything, just ask Spark, and if you feel that anything is wrong with your health, just tell Sven."

"Daniel..." There was a grief look on Kate's pale face.

Daniel stood still and talked to her in an official, formal attitude. He had to mind his actions because Jane was not happy at all now with what was happening.

Daniel's icy-cold stern face made Kate feel heart-broken; she finally spoke in a faint voice, "OK, I know. Please go ahead and do what you have to do!"

Then she closed her eyes and lay on the bed with a drawn look painted on her face.

She thought that Daniel would treat her differently after her gunshot wound, but she was wrong.

When Daniel was about to leave and opened the door, the first thing he saw in front of him was a bouquet of... pot mums*, in full bloom.

(TN: In China, we usually use pot mums [chrysanthemum flowers] on Tomb-Sweeping Day)

Daniel felt speechless at the sight of this, and the woman that then came into view was Janet.

The woman was dressed in an overcoat which was in the same color range as Daniel's, with a white scarf wrapped around her neck, complimenting her creamy white skin.

She had put on some light make-up on her face and applied bisque lipstick on her lips, which made anyone that saw them want to kiss them.

Holding the pot mum bouquet in her arms, she stood alongside Daniel; they were dressed like a couple...

"Miss Song, I wish you a speedy recovery!" said Janet. Ignoring Kate's even paler face, Janet put the bouquet at her bedside.

Kate furiously stared at her innocent-looking cheeks, and thought with rage, 'You damn woman! If you really want me to recover, why did you bring me pot mums?'
