Daddy, don't flirt

Chapter 391: I Just Lack the Sense of Security

Twelve doesn’t see her. After the door is closed, indifference flashes in Jamie’s innocent eyes.

She signs and kneads the temple. When she opens her eyes, no emotion can be seen.

She rolls the wheel chair and then leaves.

Contrary to Jamie’s room, the main color of Ryan’s room is dark tone with white and black. The falling curtain of red wine keeps the sunshine from outside, making the room dim.

“This time she will no longer feel defensive about you. Besides, what I said just now will surely make her stand on our side.” Twelve pulls a stool from the side and sits on it unceremoniously.

The room is so dim that Ryan’s facial expression can hardly be seen clearly. However, it can’t be good because he was hit by such heavy china just now.

Ryan doesn’t say anything but Twelve can feel anger and unhappiness from his gaze. He is blaming her.

Twelve snorts and crosses her legs. Although she sits on the stool gracelessly, she gives out an entirely different feeling. She says, “I’m not you, so I don’t have tenderness toward women. More importantly, I told you before and you weren’t against me at that time. So why do you give me such an unpleasant look?”

“OK, but don’t repeat it next time.” Ryan closes lips slightly and replies in a relatively low voice.

“When you recover, go on the plan. Don’t forget that the 15th comes soon. Without Jack Moore’s medicine, she’ll die.” Twelve’s voice sounds sentimental, but actually it’s only an illusion. This is one of the reasons that Ryan chose her.

“I know.” He knows even if he has brought her back, he can’t get rid of Jack Moore’s control without his medicine.

“It’s good. So don’t do anything that will annoy him, otherwise you’ll suffer the outcomes.” Twelve shakes the head slightly, looking worried in the dim room.

…

In the following two days, Jamie is refused by Twelve to visit Ryan for the same reason.

She is not worried at all. As her body is getting better, she is getting much better despite the fact that it’s still difficult for her to walk and she has to move on the wheelchair.

Only when Twelve specifically asks the doctor to give her a body check does Twelve find that Jamie is not cheating. She over-suspects Jamie. It’s true that Jamie isn’t able to walk because her legs have been in the seawater for too long which has hurt the bones.

Since Jamie isn’t able to walk, Twelve is in a good mood because it means Jamie can’t escape. Hence Twelve relaxes her vigilance.

After being refused to visit Ryan for several times, Jamie doesn’t ask for visit any more. She just stays in the room quietly, which is out of Twelve’s expectation.

Twelve has thought if Jamie is neglected for some days, she would feel guilty. However, the result is totally in contrast. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Jamie has come for visit only several times; however, after being refused by her, Jamie keeps herself inside the room. It seems as if she knows what Twelve is thinking about. She is neither conceited nor rash, making it difficult for Twelve to guess.

Twelve keeps thinking she can catch Jamie if she gives Jamie enough rope. Until the third day, Ryan starts to suspect.

On the afternoon of the third day, Twelve knocks at Jamie’s door and then finds her seated on the wheelchair. Different from the curtain in Ryan’s room, the curtain in Jamie’s room is fixed on one side, so the warm sunshine casts on her, making her glow like burnished gold.

When Twelve sees this, for the first time she feels hard to interpret.

“Miss Moore, Ryan wants to see you.” Twelve says quietly with an unhappy look. She walks behind Jamie.

Jamie turns her face in surprise and then turns round the wheelchair. She looks up at Twelve calmly but a bit excitedly.

Twelve snorts silently, thinking that at least she has a conscience and it is worthwhile for Ryan to risk his life to save her.

Twelve pushes Jamie into Ryan’s room and then leaves without saying anything.

The wound is on Ryan’s back. Since he is not spoiled and he used to suffer more serious wounds to stand out of the Gilbert family, he is fully recovered after resting for two days.

When Jamie enters the room, he is tying the tie. On seeing her, happiness obviously flashes in his eyes. He puts on the tie clip, straightens the suit and walks towards her.

“How’s your wound?” as soon as he stands in front of her, she asks full of worry and care, making him happy.

He crouches, maintaining the same eye-level as hers. He looks directly at her with gentle attitude, “I’m much better. How about you? Are you comfortable staying here? If not, tell me and I will have others

prepare for you.”

“It’s good.” Jamie bites the lower lip unconsciously, saying “That day… I am so sorry for having said that to you. I just lack the sense of security.”

“I understand.” Ryan nods. He does know that amnesiacs feel confused about future because of the absence of past memory and so they don’t have the sense of security.

“Will you help me find my lost memory?” Jamie’s face lights up and a gentle smile flutters over the corners of the lips with hope.

It’s her first smile during these days. Although it’s a little smile, it’s enough.

Ryan hesitates for about 2 seconds and slowly gives her a comforting smile, saying, “Don’t force yourself. I’ll help you find your memory step by step.”

He neither agrees nor refuses. His reply is absolutely brilliant.

Jamie replies with “ok” and then takes a look at his suit, saying “I wanna take a break outside.”

“You can do this whenever you want.” Ryan says without hesitation. Jamie won’t be in danger in this villa, so he is reassured.

An unusual sense appears in Jamie’s eyes. She looks at him surprisingly, “Really? I have been looking forward to taking a break outside for a long time.”

These words freeze Ryan.

She means she wants to have a break outside the villa?

“Jamie, you know it is likely that my enemies haven’t left here, so it’ll be dangerous if you leave the villa ...”

“But just now you said I can leave whenever I want.” Jamie opens her eyes and looks at him accusingly. How can he eat his words so quickly?

Ryan keeps silent in embarrassment. He shouldn’t have been deceived by her smile just now. He tries to find something unusual from her face, but what he can find is only the slight sneer.

She probably thinks he goes back on his word.

He has to leave Country B for something urgent, or he’ll accompany her out in person.
