Daddy, don't flirt

Chapter 413: They know each other

It is wide inside, but slightly cold, and Jamie is happy that Dan asked her to wear another layer, so she doesn’t feel the cold now, she feels a bit knocked out by the wind that keeps blowing inside, but Dan, who is holding her hand, makes her feel secure.

Jamie is wearing her mask, which has a light smell of mint on it, and it keeps the humid smell in the tunnel away, so she doesn’t feel sick.

They walk for about five minutes, and Jamie feels with every minute that they reach the end, when Dan takes her hand and leads her down the stairs.

At the end of the stairs is a hall, on which both sides are different rooms, that are enclosed by metal gates. Walking on the hallway they can easily see what is inside the rooms.

“She...” Jamie looks around, and her eyes suddenly stop, her feet are taking her towards a room on the left side, until she stands in front of the gate.

Inside lies a woman, who is very skinny, the kind of skinny that happens from lack of nutrition. She seems to only have bones and skin left, her arms are hanging on her sides, the hair cover half of her face, so Jamie can’t see what she looks like.

But the shirt that she is wearing, Jamie has seen it before.

Jamie is a excellent fashion designer, she is very sensitive when it comes to clothes, and she doesn’t forget the ones she has seen before.

Even though these clothes are very dirty, but she can still see what they look like.

“Jozo?” Jamie calls out after a while.

The woman on the floor suddenly moves when she hears Jamie’s voice, she sits up slowly, and then suddenly runs towards her without Jamie expecting it at all.

Jamie’s eyes widen, and before she can react to the sudden movements, Dan has already taken her into his hug, her eyes meet the ones of the woman that are full of hate. Her heart skips a beat.

Dan knits his eyebrows, he looks at Jozo with his cold eyes, that are sharp as a blade.

Jozo starts to shiver under Dan’s stare, but she keeps looking at Jamie.

“I want to get out, let me out, I am going to sue you!” Jozo’s voice is breaking, she bangs her hands against the metal gate, if it isn’t there, she will throw herself on Jamie.

She looks very odd, no matter how much a person loses weight, it shouldn’t be this much.

Wait...

Jamie’s gaze move away from Jozo’s grimaced face, and looks at her legs that were unable to move before, “I thought her legs were...”

Jozo’s legs don’t look like they are paralyzed at all, and the way she crawled towards her just before, doesn’t look like someone who is disabled.

Jamie suddenly remembers the day she went to look for Jozo.

When she entered the house, she saw her covered legs were bend under the blanket, even though it was only for a few seconds, but Jamie thought that she might have misunderstood, but who knew...

“She is not paralyzed, it was just a trap.” Dan says with his cold voice, explaining to Jamie calmly.

“A trap? Dan, even if I was lying, I still saved your life before, you can’t treat me like this!” Jozo can’t take this capture anymore, she tries to get the gate loose, but except for the metal sound, nothing else

happens.

She has enough of this, she thinks if she takes the poison, she will be able to drag it out for a while after she falls into a deep sleep. Even if Dan tries to find Jamie, as long as she doesn’t wake up, he won’t be able to ask her anything.

Even though she knows it had something to do with her, she will still use the fact that she has saved him before to place demands on him.

But when she notices that Jack is also brought in, she knows that not only is Jamie still alive, but Jack is captured.

Jozo is still holding on to her last hope, and looks at Dan pitifully, hoping that since she saved him once, he will let her live.

“That one time you saved me was because of your plan with Jack, wanting me to feel guilty about your paralyzed legs?” Dan’s eyes are looking at her calmly.

Jozo’s face turns pale, she bites her lips and doesn’t reply to Dan anymore, as if Dan knows something he shouldn’t.

“Do you really think I don’t know?” Dan’s lips form into a smile, if Jozo is really paralyzed because of saving him, he will not only take care of her, but also pay her a decent amount of compensation.

“Finding the best doctors to take care of you, was the best I could do, if you didn’t have any use to me, do you really think you had the ability to rip me off?”

“Was it Alma?” Jozo’s hands are wrapped around the metal sticks on the gate, her heart filled with hate.

It can only be her, there is no one else, only Alma would stay by her side all day.

Dan doesn’t want to talk to her anymore, he is only holding Jamie’s waist, and keeps walking.

“Wait, Dan, Jamie, you can’t go, you can’t leave me here, it was Jack that told me to do all these things, if you want to get back at someone, it should be him!” Jozo sees that they are about to leave, and starts yelling, but suddenly she bends over and hold her stomach, her forehead is full of sweat.

Pumping out her stomach didn’t wash off all of the poison that she took, she thinks Dan will help her to get it all out since she saved him once, but who knows that he asks the doctors to keep half of it in. It won’t kill her, but it brings her horrible pain everyday, it feels like thousands of needles poking her.

Otherwise she wouldn’t have gotten so skinny either, if it keeps going on, she will die.

“When did you know that she isn’t paralyzed? And, what happened to her?” Jamie asks Dan curiously, looking at his handsome profile, even though it helps to release her anger seeing Jozo like this, but she still feels bad inside.

“Do you think those doctors I hired are stupid? When I knew that Jozo’s reports were fake, I asked people to get into it.” Dan reaches out his hand to help Jamie pull up her mask, he tidies up her face mask, and then answers her slowly, “It’s her own fault that she looks the way she does now, I will send her away tomorrow though.”

“But what is the relation between her and Jack? They have never been seen together before.” Jamie feels a little muffled because of the face mask, but Dan can still hear what she is saying.

“They don’t need to meet to know each other, and the one who directed Jozo to do all this is Ryan, Jack doesn’t have the brains to think of all that.”

Jamie suddenly understands much more, and nods her head. No wonder that she has seen Jozo and Ryan together before, she thought she didn’t see right, and then she didn’t bother about it anymore.

So, they have been in contact long ago.

“Jozo has rescued you before, don’t you feel bad to lock her up like this?” Jamie asks Dan while she wraps her arms around him.

Dan looks at her from the side, he feels weird listening to her say this, then he replies to her in a good mood, “If there was someone you have never seen in your life pushing you away from a car, what is your first thought?”

“Like a free meal? Why would he save me without even knowing me?” Jamie replies immediately.

“Not too dumb.” Dan shakes his head, as if there was still hope for Jamie.

But at that time all Dan was thinking about was to find Jamie, and even afterwards, it was his medical team that took care of Jozo, so he didn’t bother more.

Jamie purses her lips, they walk towards the end of the tunnel, then both of them stop.
