Antonia was speechless at the series of actions.

Sebastian was always calm.

He wasn't this flustered even when he woke up from the car accident and heard that he might be paralyzed.

And all of this was because of Daniela?

Daniela touched Emilia's back: "Does it hurt?"

The thermos had hit her directly just now.

Emilia hissed, but said, "It doesn't hurt."

Daniela looked at her speechlessly.

The two were discussing going to the surgery department to get checked.

Sebastian grabbed Daniela's hand, who had just stepped out.

"Daniela."

Daniela felt a twinge of weariness: "Sebastian, I think I've made myself clear."

"Maybe my appearance here today has caused you to misunderstand something. Then I can make it clearer."

"I'm here purely because I'm a human being, and I have basic conscience and kindness. I'm not trying to seduce you or play any games of trying to get you to chase me. You don't need to misunderstand at all."

Daniela's words were like needles piercing Sebastian's heart, causing him to feel a constant pain on the left side of his chest.

He frowned, ignoring the waves of pain, and said, "Let's not talk about that. I want to talk to you about your brother."

He knew that there was no point in talking to Daniela about anything else now.

But he was unwilling to let her go, so he could only bind her with something Daniela cared about.

卑鄙也好，下作也罢。

No matter what, he wouldn't let Daniela leave.

Daniela was taken aback, then frowned.

She had just said that she wanted to avoid contact with Sebastian, and now she was accepting his help.

It was very face-slapping.

She wasn't a haughty person, and she felt that it was really embarrassing. She didn't want to get entangled with Sebastian.

Just as she was about to speak up to refuse, Sebastian said, "He was simulated at about twenty years old."

All of Daniela's words were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

Sebastian said softly, "Don't leave yet, I'll have Juan bring the stuff over."

Daniela's hand trembled slightly, and she closed her eyes helplessly: "Okay."

Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief.

Antonia saw the two come back and a mocking smile curled up at the corner of her lips. Before she could speak, she was stopped by Sebastian's cold words.

"If you still want next month's money, go back now."

Antonia's monthly allowance was already very little.

But she was used to spending lavishly, and her credit cards were already overdrawn.

If Sebastian withheld her money, even her credit cards would be frozen.

In all of R City, which other madam lived as miserably as she did?

It was all that vixen's fault!

Antonia's venomous gaze kept falling on Daniela.

If looks could kill, Daniela would have died dozens of times.

Daniela looked up, meeting her gaze calmly, seemingly not retreating at all.

"Good, very good."

Antonia was amused, and left the ward in three or two steps.

The ward door slammed shut with a bang.

——

When Juan rushed over, only Sebastian and Daniela were left in the ward, sitting there ignoring each other.

Bernard was taking Emilia to get her back checked.

Juan handed the results from Tim to Daniela: "This is the result of the simulation based on that photo."

Daniela took the documents tremblingly.

It was a dozen printed photos.

From the age of three to twenty, each year's photo was simulated one by one.

Daniela rubbed her fingers over the facial features in the photos, almost able to imagine her brother growing up year by year.

She looked at them one by one, and the tighter her brows became as she looked further back.

Seeing her frown, Sebastian asked, "What's wrong?"

Daniela looked up, hesitant: "This photo looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."
