Ken's body froze when the grapes landed on his face. He just opened the door when Matthew suddenly hid behind him and before he could even ask what's happening, something hit his face.
He looked at Daniella who was staring at him with wide eyes. He used his hand to wipe his face and realized that it was wet.
His head tilted in confusion, "what is happening?" he approached her. His hands were carrying a basket full of white lilies.
He halted next to the bed and placed the basket next to Daniella, "you're like a kid" he stated with shaking head, "how's your wound?" he stretched a hand and pulled the blanket that was hiding her legs.
His brows rose to see the scars on her legs, there were scars from cuts. He gulped hard, there were thick and looked painful.
He blinked and put the blanket again, then he looked at her who was glaring at him.
"What's wrong?" he asked, wondering why she suddenly looked like a chicken who was ready to attack his opponent.
"This is for me?" Daniella asked in a suppressing tone.
With a face of an innocent child, Ken nodded, "yeah, I read that you should give flowers to sick people and you're sick," he paused to size her up. "physically and mentality."
Daniella's face blanched, "did you even search what kind of flowers you need to give for sick people?"
Ken shrugged, "why would I? I just took the first flower I saw in the store."
Daniella shut her eyes, suppressing herself from shouting at Ken, "and where is the store located?"
Eyebrows creasing deeply in confusion, Ken answered, "next to the cemetery."
Daniella nodded, she could see the confusion in Ken's eyes, "please, at least tell me that you were aware that these flowers are for dead people," she faked a smile and hoped that Ken was not as stupid as she thought.
Ken nodded, "the seller told me but what's wrong? It's flowers."
Dumbfounded, Daniella fell speechless.
"You will die one day, consider it as an advance gift," and as he said that, he picked up the remaining grapes from the bowl and ate it.
Daniella was still speechless, and she decided to stay like that.
"Where's my thank you?" Ken sat on the space next to her but his feet remained on the floor.
With a lifeless tone, Daniella murmured, "Thank you, now could you read me a story, the little red riding hood," then she turned to her side, her face was so close to Ken's legs while the man was looking as her with perplexity.
"I'm sorry, but did you just ask me to read you a book?"
Daniella looked at him with a flat face, "No, Mr. Chu, I asked you to pray. Pray to Satan that I will not kill you," then she pointed a finger at the bedside table.
Ken looked aside and picked up the book, he opened it and rested his head at the headrest of the bed. She looked pissed so he decided to zip his mouth.
He didn't know why but as soon as he opened the book, his lips parted to read it.
"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in the village near the forest."
Ken's eyebrows creased as he flipped the next page, the letters were in big sizes that even a person with poor eyesight could read it while the drawings were something a little kid would be amazed.
"Whenever she went out, the little girl wore a red riding cloak."
He rose a brow, and continued, "so everyone in the village called her little red riding hood."
He paused and looked at Daniella, his lips stretched in a faint smile to see her sleeping soundly.
He continued with the book, but he read it with no words coming out of his mouth and when he finished it, his eyes closed and he fell asleep sitting on the bed.

Evan rubbed his temples as soon as his grandpa started talking. The old man was holding a tablet while rage was visible on his face.
"Have you read the news?" his grandfather yelled.
He placed the tablet on the coffee table with the news headline 'Evan Su, the head of the Su Financial has been spotted leaving his office with another woman despite his engagement with the supermodel Camille Male.'
Evan shut his eyes, he has read the news and had someone deleted the pictures online.
"I've asked someone to delete the pictures, it will be gone soon."
And Evan's emotionless answer has made the older man's rage to increase, "I don't care if it will disappear now or later, people think of you as a womanizer and you have the Su name did you-" before the elder man could continue, Evan got up with jaw gnashing angrily.
"Grandpa, I don't care about those people, alright?" he said in a firm tone, "I spoke to Daniella and she didn't really care about it since-" he stopped when the elder picked up his cane and started hitting his legs.
"Clean up this mess and bring that woman here!"
Evan groaned in irritation, he has too much in his plate right now. He still couldn't find Aaron and he worried that Daniella will find out about Danny.
"Grandpa, I will bring her here as long as you won't shout at her or say something to hurt her."
The elder man was speechless, he has never seen Evan care so deeply like this to a woman. He gulped hard, seemed like Daniella was really important to him.
He cleared his throat and nodded, "fine, bring her and my granddaughter here," then he went back to his chair, placed both hands on the armchairs.
Relief flooded Evan's heart upon seeing the soft expression in his grandfather's face. Finally, the old man decided to accept Daniella.
"Thank you, grandpa."
The elder man nodded, as he watched his grandson to leave, his hand picked up his phone.
The phone rang, he smiled when a woman voice spoke from the other side.
"Camille, I invited Evan and Daniella to my house for maybe-" he paused for a moment, "a dinner, if you have time, I hope you can come."
A faint and sweet laugh rang on the other side, "yes Mr. Su, I will be there."
"Just call me grandpa."
When the phone call ended, the elder Su clenched the phone in his hand. He will never let someone like Daniella who has nothing to be the wife of his grandson.
He heard stories from James's father about Daniella asking for half of their money in exchanged of leaving James and he would never let her do that same to his family.
