Zoe Hilker hugged her legs, burying her face in them and started sobbing quietly.
"It’s too much..." She cried so hard that her shoulders were trembling, "Daisy hasn’t done anything wrong, why treat her like this..."
Eight years ago, Edward Stephens risked his life to save her.
Eight years later, Edward was on the verge of danger once again because of her.
If Edward doesn’t co out of this, she’s afraid Daisy wouldn’t be able to survive either.
Ethan Pond saw that she had lost a lot of weight these past few days, he sighed softly, walked over to her side, and gently rubbed her fluffy long hair.

Daisy Ginger slept for a whole day and night.
When she woke up, it was the evening of the next day.
Ethan Pond was by her side. Seeing her awake, he spoke in a deep voice, "Awake?"
Daisy braced herself and got out of the blanket. Her right leg was in a cast, suspended high, and sitting up was not easy. Ethan walked over, reached out and helped her up so she could lean on the headboard.
"Have a cup of milk first." Ethan poured her a cup of warm milk and handed it to her, "I told Zoe to go ho and rest. That girl stayed with you for four days and couldn’t hold on any longer."
Daisy reached out for the milk, a faint smile appeared on her pale face, "You haven’t rested properly either, have you? I’ll sleep alone tonight, you should go ho and rest."
Ethan watched her drink half a cup of milk and then gently wiped her milk-stained lips with a napkin, saying lightly, "I’ll leave after you fall asleep."
He took the milk cup from her hand and placed it on the bedside table, then turned and sat on the sofa not far away, speaking to Daisy about Ian Linton’s situation.
"Ian has been detained, and the Linton family is requesting ntal health experts to conduct a psychiatric evaluation. They might be trying to get him out of sentencing by claiming ntal illness." Ethan leaned against the sofa back, his legs crossed in a relaxed posture, but his handso brows carried a hint of creases.
He continued, "The kidnapping incident hasn’t been disclosed to the public yet. If we want a severe sentence, we’ll need to leverage public opinion."
Daisy leaned against the headboard, her expression calm, seemingly unaffected by Ian Linton’s na.
She said indifferently, "Maybe he really has a ntal problem."
His actions were unlike those of a normal person.
"A madman still knows how to fra others?" Ethan sneered, his tone slightly mocking, "He tead up with Ervin Osteen to kidnap you. The surveillance footage showed Ervin driving the car to hit you. Both the police and us were deceived by that footage, thinking Ervin was out for revenge after his release. A lot of manpower and resources were focused on tracking Ervin. If it weren’t for Edward noticing Ian acting suspiciously and going to his company to find him, you might still be locked up by him."
Daisy leaned against the headboard, Edward’s na didn’t provoke any reaction. She rely nodded, "Ian is indeed very good at disguising."
Ethan glanced at her, his eyes narrowed slightly, and continued, "But Edward is sharper than the police. Not sure where he found the team, even obtained satellite access, otherwise you were hidden on the island by Ian, we’d still spend a considerable amount of ti locating you."
Daisy’s eyes were lowered, her gaze directed downward. Under the bright lights of the room, her face remained completely serene. Her delicate and pale face showed no signs of emotional change.
