"Night, is it convenient to talk now?"

Lisa's voice on the phone was a little low and there was a hint of imperceptible struggle and worry, Daisy frowned, intuitively feeling that it was not a good thing, and asked in a low voice while walking towards the secluded library, "Did you find something?" ”

The other party paused and replied, "Yes." The temptation of Naro has proved that your guess is correct, Conrad and his gang do have a deep relationship with the Beifeng family, and in the past two days, the Beifeng family seems to have started a covert large-scale deployment, and they seem to be panicked by Drucker's appearance. However, I think that if there is any interference from them, Mishutaka's trip to Russia should go a lot smoother...... Also, there's one more thing......"

Lisa reported this, but suddenly stopped her voice and stopped talking.

The microphone on the other side seemed to be covered, and the sound was instantly silenced, and a moment later, there was a faint sound of arrogance between Lisa and Yutai on the other end of the phone, as if there was a great difference in the opinions of the two people, and the sound was too loud to cover.

Could something have happened!? What happened to the two of them that they wouldn't let her know?

This thought made Daisy's beautiful eyebrows furrow tighter and tighter, Sakura's lips pursed, she pinched her phone, and suddenly whispered: "Lisa! Although the voice was soft, it was so sharp that it penetrated the eardrum like an ice blade condensed into a line, which made people feel shocked!

There was instant silence on the other side of the phone!

"Tell me, what the hell is going on!" She took a breath and asked with a low brow.

Lisa seemed to be finally awakened by these words, and she exhaled heavily, her tone was more serious than ever, "Night, although we can't pinpoint Hawke's location yet, we have already found out where he went the day before he disappeared...... I think you should want to know. The accent of her sentence subconsciously fell heavily on the word "place", and Daisy's heart suddenly "clicked" for some reason!

Where did he go before he disappeared?

I didn't ask them to look into this. Besides, with that person's cautious personality, if he deliberately hid, it would be impossible to hide in the place he had been before. This piece of information is useless......

But for some reason, Daisy suddenly remembered the anonymous phone call she had received one night with a loud background but no one spoke......

Thinking of Hawke, she pressed her forehead tiredly, "Did you find something suspicious?" ”

Lisa replied, "Night, were you really conscious when you gave birth to Anno?" ”

This completely confusing question made Daisy stunned for a moment, and then the unpleasant fragments of her memory suddenly appeared like a flood that had burst the floodgates!

The terrible pregnancy process, the great pain of hovering between amnesia and memories, the physical and mental torture of each other, Hawke's last drug use, and the despair of the moment when he learned that Anno would be stillborn......

All of this is still vivid, and of course her mind is clear! If she could allow herself to be confused and allow herself to compromise, she wouldn't have been so painful in the first place!

Daisy's long silence and faint oppressive aura made the person on the other side of the phone nervous!

It was Daisy's most unbearable memory, and it was also the scar that still hurts faintly to this day.

Even if she says that everything is in the past, if she is really relieved that there is no longer pain, she will not mention that man as if he was facing a great enemy...... Even if Daisy has covered it up well.

The knot in her heart may never have been untied......

Lisa sighed softly, as if she had finally given up all struggle, and whispered, "Hawke has been hiding a secret for six years, maybe it really should be buried deep in the ground for the rest of his life, but you have the right to know the truth...... Turn on the fax machine, look at it and you'll understand. ”

A secret that has been hidden for six years?

Daisy frowned! It was as if the whole heart was being hung high, and a stream of extremely deep anxiety and uncertainty instantly grabbed her heart!

Is there anything else she doesn't know? Has she forgotten anything again!?

When she gave birth to Anno, was there something she didn't know about?

It's as if something is about to come out of the cage of memory, but nothing can be captured!

Daisy hated the feeling, so every second she waited became torment, and before she knew it, her hands and feet began to weaken and become cold.

There were a few photos coming out of the fax machine, and when she saw the first one, Daisy was stunned for a moment.

It was a private club in the early days. Colorful neon, the façade is luxurious, and you can see all kinds of luxury cars like a long dragon on the street in front of the main entrance.

Although six years had passed, Daisy still recognized it at a sight, and this was the place where she and Hawke first met......

The place where all causes begin and perish.

She picked up the photo with a dark background and glanced at it quickly, only to find another one pressed underneath it in a completely different tone than its style.

The background of the photograph appears to be a picturesque manor, with a small-looking tombstone standing quietly under a large tree full of petals on a hillside covered with flowers.

The tombstone is carved from the finest marble, and its pure white texture makes it sparkle in the sun, soft and quiet like a sleeping child.

And on it, as always, there is a line of beautiful inscriptions engraved -

"Beloved daughter Anne

- My beloved daughter

Died on July 17, 2009"

Daisy paused, and after a moment she reached out and slowly pulled out the photo.

She looked at it carefully, pinching the finger of the photo slowly and forcefully, until the phalanges turned white and almost grinded it through! Her face was shocked and incredulous, her face became whiter and paler, and she began to tremble from her fingers to her arms and even her whole body.

17 July 2009 -

It was six years ago today...... Exactly six years......

Birth and death are on the same day, and the name of the person who erected the monument is not left on the tombstone......

This Anne ...... Who is it?

Why did Hawke go to worship her?

……

From the doorman to the housekeeper, no one in the Gambino family has ever seen such a terrifying and gloomy look of their own hostess.

It was like a level 10 typhoon, Daisy held the photo tightly in her hand, and her face came out of the library like a layer of ice, and her evil appearance was like a killing god who had just returned from the Rakshasa field, and the expression on her face was terrifying, and she didn't even have the courage to take a second look!

She hadn't been like this in years, panicked, helpless, like a big hole in her cavity and lost something very precious in her body...... It was taken from her life without her even knowing it! Not even the slightest chance of recovery was left!

Annie...... Annie.

"If it's a daughter, the child is called Annie."

In the deepest part of her memory, she seemed to have said this as if she had stroked her stomach. The man stood beside him indifferently, not knowing whether he was listening carefully, but put his hand on her lower abdomen with an expressionless face, touched it through her clothes, and then said coldly: It doesn't matter what the name of a child who is not blessed by his mother. To you, this child is just a hindrance.

At that time, the damage between them had reached the point of no return......

So the truth...... Is that it?

Daisy slammed open the door of the conference room, and she didn't look at the panicked people behind her and ordered coldly: "Take the young master to breakfast, no one is allowed to come in without my permission!" Don't get close! ”

Anno had calmed down from his disappointment at this time, and when he saw his mommy suddenly appear, he immediately realized that something was wrong, but before he could ask, he was quickly carried away by the servants who did not dare to say a word, and the door closed behind him.

Outside the window, sporadic raindrops had fallen in the gloomy sky, and nothing could be heard in the quiet room except for the crisp sound of raindrops hitting the glass.

Daisy stood in the center of the room with her back straight, her beautiful dark eyes staring coldly at the shadow opposite, and after a while, she slowly spread out the photo in her hand, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth, "What is this?" Here's what's going on! ”

The Shadow was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the image on it clearly, his face changed dramatically, and he blurted out without thinking, "How do you know?" Where did you get that? ”

As soon as the words came out, he regretted it! I saw Daisy bite her lip suddenly, her clenched fists burst into bruises, and her eyes began to glow with sad bloodshots, and her bloodless face was even paler like paper!

The answer is self-evident.

This tombstone, this child...... She didn't even know she existed until today!

The blood was like a sudden innumerable amount of tiny ice slag, and the body was cold like falling into an ice cellar, but the chest cavity that couldn't breathe was suffocated as if it was about to explode, and the fingertips even began to spasm nervously!

It was like being hung on a steep cliff, and below was the abyss of the roaring black forest, and the body could not find any support for the boundless drifting, and countless thoughts rushed into Daisy's mind in an instant like crazy!

Was she pregnant with twins at that time?

Did you ever have a daughter......

So what does she look like, has she ever opened her eyes, has she seen the world, when she leaves...... Is it painful?

I don't know, I don't know...... She had no idea!

She hadn't seen her, hadn't touched her, and couldn't sketch her in her head. As soon as he left the mother's body, he was put into a cold coffin, and he didn't get a hug or even a look from his biological mother, how unwilling should this child be when he left?

The most painful thing is not the loss, but the regret that can no longer be made up for in this life!

She would never get a chance to look at the child again......

"Why did he do that? Why are you hiding it from me!? She approached the shadow step by step and questioned sharply, her eyes reddened, and her face was full of bitter hatred and anger, "Deception, lies, vile means, selfish desires!" He's done everything, hasn't he hurt me enough! Why deprive me of my rights as a mother! ”

The shadow pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had been stabbed by this series of questions, thinking of all these years and Anno's pitiful and helpless appearance before, the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart surged so much that he could no longer hide it!

Five years ago, he had a deep guilt for Daisy, and looking at her happy life now, he decided that he would never say something and rot in his stomach for the rest of his life! But look at her face, her eyes, disgust and hatred so unobstructed...... He can't let this woman hate the boss anymore! It's so unfair to both father and son!

"Why!?" A wicked smile appeared on his handsome and beautiful face, and his dark eyes were gloomy like ink, "Just because that man loves you like crazy!" Just because he would rather hate you and hate you than see you sad and miserable! You have no idea how much he expects the child in your belly, which is simply the only motivation for him to live at that time! But when you had a difficult birth, he still chose you without hesitation, and Anno was able to survive because of God's favor for him! But Mei'er, you ask yourself, with your physical and mental condition at the time, can you still withstand the blow of losing a child? You can't! He never wanted to hurt you in this matter, and you are the last person to blame him! Because he definitely hurts more than you! ”

He said this in a loud voice, and Daisy stared straight at him, but as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, her eyes were red and she screamed and mocked: "I shouldn't blame him? She sneered and asked incredulously, "Who injected me to forget my worries and make my child congenitally deficient?" Who put me in a cell and tortured me? Who is it that has driven me almost insane with the people I hold dear to me time and time again? Didn't he do all this? ”

"But he's been punished as he deserves! Isn't it enough for a man to become crippled——! ”

As soon as the words fell, time and space seemed to be frozen by life, and the whole room fell into a dead silence in an instant!

The two of them stared at each other as if they had seen the end of the world, and they completely lost all reactions!

"Boom-" The dull thunder in the sky suddenly sounded, the clouds were getting lower and lower, and the people were overwhelmed, and the dangerous aura that permeated the two of them had reached a critical point of exploding......

"What do you say? What did you just say!? Daisy narrowed her eyes and stepped forward and grabbed the Shadow's neckline, sending out a chill like a lioness about to eat people! You make it clear to me! ”

Crippled? He said crippled? What does that mean?

Daisy's heart was beating like a drum, and an extremely bad premonition frightened her mind, and for a moment her brain was blank and she could barely think!

The shadow knew that she was speechless, but she no longer avoided it, and let her pull herself, her sharp eyes full of reproach, "Have you ever thought about how Anno and the boss survived when they fell off the cliff?" Have you ever thought about how much damage your shot did to him? Have you ever wondered why he never dared to look for you or appear in front of you for five years? When he heard the news that you were going to get married, did you know how he felt when he watched you marry and listened to you say those wedding vows? You don't know! You don't know anything! You don't want to know at all! The hell he spent in the past five years is something you can't imagine in your life! ”

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the bottom of his eyes gradually turned bloody, and Daisy's heart was cold!

What happened to Hawke in those five years? Where has he been in five years? Why did he survive......

Those doubts, those unusual words that Anno said by chance, she had doubted and guessed, but subconsciously seemed to resist knowing the answer, so she had been avoiding since she recovered her memory, and she really didn't dare to get close to that man anymore. But......

"He's coming to my wedding? Why...... Didn't he take Anno and disappear for five years because he resented me? Daisy's beautiful face was completely bloodless, and her phalanx bones were making a terrifying gurgling sound from too hard, "Where did I shoot him...... What else is there that I don't know? "The last note almost screams and roars!

"The boss has a big life, the heart is on the right, and your shot missed the vital point. But with such a high cliff, how can it be okay to fall down? He pressed Anno in his arms, he took all the pressure, and when he was rescued from the sea by a nearby fishing boat, Anno only had one breath left, and he lay in the incubator for half a year, and the boss's whole body bones were almost not good, the spine was injured, the lower limbs were completely paralyzed, the blood clot in the brain pressed the optic nerve, and the doctor said that there was only one percent hope of regaining vision! He is so proud of a person who has to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, how can he stand it! How could you see him like that! He felt that he didn't deserve you anymore so he stayed away, but can you imagine what he had been like for five years!? ”

The Shadow was completely immersed in the tragic memories of the past, his body stiff as wood, and his breathing became heavier and more chaotic.

Daisy only felt that this word poked into her heart like a needle, and she grabbed his hand and began to lose her strength, as if she couldn't bear it anymore, "His legs...... Eye...... How can this be......" The voice trembled so much that he couldn't even say a complete sentence!

Shadow looked at her bleeding face, and her voice calmed down, "At that time, the boss's drug addiction had not been completely stopped, and he didn't dare to use any sedatives or anything else could suppress his pain, even if the broken bone hurt no matter how painful, he could only hold on, and he couldn't sleep well at night, and he always woke up in pain." At its worst, he will even hit the wall with his body! Undergoing a craniotomy at the risk of dying, the recovery process from being able to stand to walk is equivalent to dying again! …… The boss is the most perfect leader I've ever met, and I've always felt that he can dominate the world if he wants to. But you have turned him into a blind beast on the grassland, running wildly, never finding the real exit, until he dies of exhaustion. ”

These two people are kings standing on the pinnacle, her cold and beautiful decisions make him admire, her warmth and beauty make him yearn, they could have accompanied each other and supported each other to include this world and become the most perfect pair, but they were destined to have no chance in this life, but they became the most powerful weapon in the world to hurt each other...... This is a dead knot, a bad fate.

The Shadow paused and inhaled deeply, and finally drooped his shoulders as if he couldn't do anything, a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "Mei'er, I'm not telling you this to make you sympathize with him and pity him, and he never needed this. But you should fulfill his last wish...... The blood clot in the boss's head has not been cleaned up, and his eyes have been good and bad at first, I'm afraid ......" He didn't continue, only raised his head and looked into her eyes pleadingly, "You go and persuade him, let him actively cooperate with the treatment, he has always listened to your words, just for Anno." This kid is pitiful enough......"

Daisy understood it all in an instant.

Hawke's sudden appearance, his sudden disappearance, and why didn't he even show up for his son's birthday...... The last time she saw Hawke came to mind, and he was so angry and desperate that he wanted to kill her! …… How could it not be wanted? She said such hurtful things. There was an indescribable sourness in her heart, which was so complicated that she couldn't sort out the complex inside in a hurry. It seems that there is guilt, sadness, pain, resentment, and there is a cycle of cause and effect that makes people's destiny inescapable.

It's hard to judge the past between them by right and wrong, like a double-edged sword, he and she hold the two ends to cut a powerful wound in each other's hearts.

Wound to wound, two people covered in blood can't heal each other, they will only bite each other's sore spots with their teeth, thinking that this way they can not leave, but in fact the wound has long been rotten and festering......

Daisy lowered her eyes, her obsidian eyes deep under her long eyelashes so deep that she couldn't make out any emotion. She opened her mouth, and was about to say something, when suddenly an extremely subtle and oppressive sound reached her ears, and she suddenly looked up, and saw shock and panic in the eyes of the shadows!

At some point, the door of the closed reception room was opened, and a small shadow stood there stunned. Amber eyes were wide open, his face was full of panic, he bit his lip and let out a mournful whimper like a wounded young beast, until Daisy looked back at him, he opened his mouth, tears couldn't help but fall down: "Father, where is he?" Doesn't he want Anno......"

Daisy's heart trembled, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged her son in her arms, touching the top of his hair and trying to squeeze out a smile, "No, your father is fine, don't cry, don't cry......"

Anno looked at her helplessly, his thin shoulders trembling violently like leaves in a gale.

He clenched his little fists tightly, his eyes were red, and his voice was mournful: "I heard it all...... I know that my father and I have bothered you, but it is not my father's fault, he always makes me endure it anymore, and it is because I want to see you so much that I beg my father to let me out...... It's my fault......"

Daisy hugged him tightly, "You're not wrong, it's me who is bad...... You're my son, how could I not want you......"

Anno choked up even more fiercely, her eyes full of despair, "What if my father's eyes can no longer see?" What if he can't even see your picture? Mommy, please go see your father! Please...... I don't want you to be together again, I just want my father and mother to be by my side in good health, and I will be very well-behaved in the future...... Please......"

His every word and tear was like a sharp knife that cut Daisy's heart into pieces!

How could she hurt her beloved son like this?

What did she do to make such a young child compromise to this extent?

It's just such a tiny wish......

Daisy looked at the crying child in her arms, and tears fell all at once......

No refusal anymore......

"Good! Good...... I'll take you to see him, and he'll be fine...... I promise you......"

The wind was blowing, and the dense trees and flowers outside the villa were whimpering in the wind. The raindrops the size of beans smashed white marks on the glass windows, like human faces cut by tears, in vain......
