Genius Girl-Chapter 110 - 110: Where is she Mark?

Chapter 110 - 110: Where is she Mark?

Shocked by what he just heard; Ken's body stiffened. Her tender palm on his cheek made his body warm. Laying on top of her with hands on her shoulders, Ken absently bent closer.

Soon, loud thunders roared and vibrated the room, Daniella's eyes swelled when Ken suddenly dove his head down to her shoulder and felt his body shivering.

She blinked repeatedly, unsure of what's happening.

They stayed in that position for so long that her body started to feel cramped.

"Mr. Chu," she called him out.

When the man distanced himself from her, Daniella looked into his eyes. She didn't want to do it after the memory she saw earlier, she just didn't want to be bothered by his dark past knowing that she has her own.

And as their eyes met, and Daniella stared into his grey eyes, she found a boy sitting on the stairways watching a man who she recognized to be his father on the couch with a woman on his lap, the two were kissing passionately while the rain outside that could be seen through the window pour heavily.

Daniella was unable to see the face of the woman Roy Chu was kissing but she's certain that it was not Ken's mother as the woman was sitting next to Ken with tears in her eyes.

"Let's go Ken " the voice of Ken's mother rang in Daniella's mind.

So, Ken's father was unfaithful to his mother, he added a.d.u.l.tery to his brutality.

Daniella shut her eyes for a moment, hands lay on Ken's shoulder to stop him from moving, "Stay " she whispered.

So Ken stayed and when Daniella looked into his eyes, he found him sitting on the bed with a piece of which seemed to be a photo in his hand.

"Your mother has left to be with another man Ken. It's just you and me," it was Roy's Chu's voice. Unlike the previous tone she heard from him through Ken's memory, the voice was full of regret and agony.

Daniella pushed Ken away and got up, she took in a few breaths before turning to meet his face.

"I am here to take you to your father's real killer. After this, we won't have any connection " she coldly said.

She couldn't be around him, the trauma lurking in his eyes was too dark even for her. Finding out that the reason why he was with two women was because of the trauma he had watching his father's infidelity, Ken certainly has an issue and as much as she wanted to help him, she can't. She has a problem too, and it's bigger than Ken.

"Fine" Ken got up and walked towards the door.

Daniella watched his back. The rain, the sound of the rain was causing Ken to remember what his father had done to his mother and she knew, she had read his mind that until now, he still blamed his father for his mother's disappearance. But paying women to be with him while the rain poured heavily outside, did it really satisfy him or did it make his trauma worse.

The boy she saw in his memory, he was so innocent and pure like a gem though his face was drowning in sorrow. She could imagine his thoughts and confusion, what had he done to deserve this dejection?

Though she wondered why did he act so scared when the thunder roared? Does it have to do with the trauma? The memory she saw, she was certain that it was just rain.

They walked towards the main door. Ken halted for a moment and stared at the rain pouring down heavily as if someone broke its heart.

"Where are we going?" he asked the woman who stood next to him.

"South" she answered and handed the umbrella she found next to the door. It seemed like Ken didn't like to be wet with rain given that each corner of the house was occupied with an umbrella stand.

"What do you mean you lost Daniella?" Evan shouted at Mark.

Mark rushed to the Su villa as soon as he found out that Daniella, the woman he has been following suddenly disappeared.

But when he arrived, his angry boss greeted him with a yell.

"I'm sorry boss" he stood straight in front of Evan who was nervously pacing around the study room of the Su villa.

"Why?" Evan took in a deep sigh, he didn't attempt to find Daniella last night as he knew that Mark was following her

Anxiously Mark scratched his head, never once his boss yelled at him and showed this angry emotion to anyone. He looked like a dragon that's been awakened from a thousand years' slumber.

"My brother Dexter called me last night and ahm..." he paused to clear his throat. It has been a year since he last saw his brother Dexter so after receiving a call from him, he immediately left Daniella's side and rushed to his brother.

"My brother called and I got excited I forgot to tell you that I left Ms. Chen's side."

Hearing his excuse, Evan squeezed his eyes shut. The pain felt like a lightning bolt as it swept through his mind while Daniella's face flashed in the darkness.

Before meeting Daniella, Evan was not used to showing his emotion even to his family. He preferred to keep it to himself but after knowing her, his heart suddenly experienced different types of strange emotions.

His body slumped to the couch like a huge rock, feeling helpless, Evan brushed both palms over his face and looked up to Mark.

"Where is she Mark?" he mumbled helplessly.

Dumbfounded by the emotion on his boss's face, Mark stiffened. This must be the first question his boss asked that he couldn't answer.

"I will find her boss " he pledged but Evan shook his head.

"No, she's hiding. Just take some days off and spend some time with your brother."

Hearing that, a faint laugh escaped Mark's lips.

"He's no longer my brother. He said I should call him Scarlet."

Despite the whimsical laugh from Mark, Evan's face remained dark. His mind wondered what Daniella was thinking right now.

When he could no longer hold the thoughts that were running through his mind, Evan got up and took the key to his car. He had one place to go and that's Daniella's apartment. He was not sure if she was in there but he would not lose anything if he tried.
