The First Curse of Love
37. Wrongfully Hope

Danny's worried.

Since morning Qiara was completely out of contact. Last night, at exactly twelve o'clock, Qiara did call him to wish him a happy birthday. But after that, Qiara completely disappeared and made Danny not stop worrying about her.

About two hours ago, Qiara read all the messages that Danny sent, but was not reciprocated by him at all. It also makes Danny feel more worried. It was not usually Qiara like this.

In the midst of her frustration and anger, the woman suddenly called. Danny snorted cynically, before finally answering the call as fast as lightning.

"Where are you today? You make me anxious. Now activate your video calls. I want to see your face now." Lecar Danny before Qiara could say hello.

Instead of directly following Danny's request, Qiara was silent for quite a while. Faintly Danny could hear him sighing. Like holding a weight so heavy on his chest.

"sorry. I can't video call you right now. My face is not pretty." Her voice raspy. Like I just finished crying. Danny's a thousand percent sure about it.

"Dear, what's wrong with you? You're all right, right? Why is your voice so hoarse?" In an instant, Danny forgot all his frustration at Qiara.

"I'm okay, Dann. I just got back from the studio. I think I have the flu." Qiara replied lying.

"Qi?"

"So, how was it today? Does anyone want you to tell me?" qiara asked, like trying to lure Danny into telling the truth.

This time, it was Danny's long turn to be silent. His heart was immediately pounding in a rhythm that was so fast. Does he have to go back to rolling the same lies that he passed on to Celine the other day?

"Today, filming went well. There are no meaningful obstacles." Answer Danny later.

"Certainly? What else?"

"I─" Danny lowered his head while sighing softly.

Is this the right time for him to tell Qiara the truth? That he had met with Pricilla and something had happened between them just now. The next second, the screams of the word "NO" suddenly echoed from inside Danny's head. Of course Qiara should not know about what happened earlier. Danny shook his head and closed his eyes before continuing his words, "not so. Now, you rest, huh? Let your body fit tomorrow. Do not forget to take vitamins. Next week I'm home, I don't want to see you sick."

"Yes, Dann. Good night."

"Good night too, dear."

"Danny, wait!" Qiara said hurriedly before Danny cut off their phone connection.

Danny frowned and put his phone back in his ear.

"Why, Qi?"

"Dann?"

"Hm?"

"We're getting married, right? I'm still your future wife, right?"

Danny's aghast. Why would Qiara suddenly ask him that?

Danny was finally back upset because he felt doubtful. Which makes Danny even more frustrated now, though, he could not immediately look her in the eyes let alone hug her to be able to convince her that their marriage next month was a certainty that she did not need to doubt at all.

"Qi, why─"

"sorry. Now I'm actually shutting down the phone, huh? Bye, Danny!" Sela Qiara before Danny could convey his regret.

The phone connection was turned off by Qiara. While Danny, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief as soon as the call ended. But still he still felt that something was stuck with the question Qiara was asking him.

...****...

As he exits his hotel room in the morning, Danny finds a paper bag hanging from the doorknob. Danny frowned before finally taking the paper bag and looking at the contents.

It turns out that in the paper bag, there is a black gift box. Danny immediately opened it and found a fancy watch inside. Danny was stunned before finally opening a letter that he also found in the paper bag.

Dear, Danny.

Happy birthday, huh? Thank you for wanting to be my friend for the past few days, and thank you also because you want me to repot every time. And sorry for last night. It's all completely out of my control. I hope I can get your forgiveness.

By the time you've received this gift and read my letter, I'm already on my way back to New York. I promise I won't bother you in the future.

I hope, you get success and happiness abundant in every breath you.

Sorry again, and thank you for everything. Although you have a hard time accepting it, but until now, you were the only one I loved, Dann. And if there is nothing good you want to remember from me, please remember me as a troublesome girl who once loved you so much, then and now.

^^^Love, Prissy.^^^

Danny sighed after he finished reading the letter that Pricilla wrote. In my heart there is a relief that Danny feels because now he will never see the girl again. However, he could not deny the pity that was secretly tucked in his heart for Pricilla.

Just as Pricilla expects happiness for Danny, Danny is like that. Despite not being able to tell Pricilla directly, Danny hopes that Pricilla will live his life happily and without pressure again. Danny hopes that Pricilla can find a man who can love him indefinitely.

"Danny?" Call someone suddenly from behind when Danny was just about to swing his footsteps.

Danny immediately turned his head, and he felt strange when he found the figure of Mia ─ personal assistant Pricilla was standing behind him while looking at him with a clear view.

Danny was astonished. Shouldn't Mia be at the airport with Pricilla now? Then, why is Mia still here? Think Danny.

"Please Pricilla, Danny." Pinta Mia's. His face water is getting worse. He looked at Danny as if Danny was his last hope.

...****...

Danny followed Mia behind him, walking half a run in a hospital hallway. Mia said that just before she and Pricilla were about to board the plane, Pricilla suddenly asked her permission to go to the toilet. But until the time of their departure, Pricilla did not come out of the toilet. And when Mia catches up with him, Mia is very surprised to see Pricilla splashed in one of the toilet cubicles with a line of blood that continues to flow from her wrist.

Mia said that Pricilla had tried to commit suicide. Fortunately, Mia came in on time and called an ambulance. Pricilla was saved, although she is still in critical condition.

After seeing Pricilla in a state of unconsciousness in his treatment room, Danny immediately came out. He dropped his body which he felt suddenly squeezed on one of the waiting chairs. Danny fell down while covering his face with both hands. For the second time, Danny witnessed the attempted suicide that Pricilla was about to commit.

Danny felt as if his heart had been torn apart by two mysterious hands.

"Mama Pricilla is in Hangzhou attending a meeting with Asosiai Ballet. He'll be here soon." Mia was standing next to Danny.

But Danny did not catch Mia's words. His mind was too dead-end to be able to digest anything right now.

Not long after Mia said that, suddenly a graceful woman who still looked very beautiful at her age who was no longer young, walked with rash steps. And as soon as he saw Danny's figure, anger immediately filled him without a fuss.

Danny, who noticed the presence of the woman he recognized, immediately got up from his sitting position. He can read what happens next. That's why, when a pretty strong slap landed on his left cheek, Danny wasn't surprised in the least.

For a long time, this woman had never liked him. It was Clarissa Hwang. Mama's figure is very respected and feared by Pricilla.

"How dare you reappear your face before my daughter!"
