Just as Mo Li thought, Bella had a few ways to get out of this current situation. However, she wasn't planning on getting out just yet. She eyed the man calmly sitting next to her. Obviously, it was none other than Daniel. He was smiling at her, lips lifted up, eyes turning into crescents. To Bella, he actually looked like he was crying instead of smiling.

"I should have killed you. That was my only regret." Daniel said in a calm tone. The car continued to move and Bella was no longer aware of their current location. Earlier, when they took her to the toilet, they blindfolded her. At that time, she didn't show any signs of resistance. She was only curious.

She had suspicions that it was Daniel who took her and seeing him now just confirmed it. "Why did you take me?" She eyed the wine bottle in Daniel's hands.

"Obviously, I want to know where she is."

"How would I know that? I didn't help her at all." She didn't help Sarah leave. It was Gabriel. How could this Daniel take her?

"I don't believe you."

"You can believe whatever it is that you want. However, I didn't help Sarah leave. In fact, I wasn't aware of her plans. It was her mother. You should go ahead and ask Mr. Qin instead!"

"Oh? And you thought I didn't do that first before coming to see you?"

She pursed her lips. "So he didn't know too?"

"Why are you acting surprised? You should know what happened, right? It was that damn Mrs. Qin's fault! However, she wouldn't have become that crazy if you didn't help Lawyer Ting!"

"Mr. Daniels… I don't know what you are talking about!"

"Really? Then the scandal, are you confident to say that you had nothing to do with it?"

"I am innocent," she insisted.

"And you think I would believe you?"

"I am telling the truth! The fact that you didn't believe me wouldn't change anything!" So, Daniel only kidnapped her to know Sarah's location? What a boring reason. Daniel squinted at her before he leaned closer and suddenly grabbed her chin.

"Stop messing around! You know I am very capable of killing you!" he hissed.

"I am telling the truth!"

He let her chin go, pushing her against the seat of the car. Suddenly he held her neck.

"What are you— "

"I am telling you… If you won't tell me anything. I would kill you!"

Bella didn't say anything this time. She stared at his crazed eyes. There is no time to consider anything. Seeing those eyes made her realized that he is indeed here to kill her. "Stupid. What a mindless, stupid Villain." The calmness in her face disappeared. She suddenly waved her hand.

"You— " The sudden changes suprised Daniel, it rendered him speechless. His brain couldn't process Bella's words Villain? What Villain? However, before he could say anything else, he started to lose consciousness. He remembered letting go of her neck. He remembered watching her put the seatbelt on. He remembered hearing a loud ominous sound of the car hitting something.

Then his consciousness took him.

….

When Bella woke up again, she was already in a white room. The smell of disinfectant made her smile. She was in a hospital and she was still alive.

"Bella? You're awake?" It was Mo Li. He stood and handed her a glass of water as if he was reading her thoughts.

She instantly smiled at him and drank the water. The fact that she could move and feel her arms is a good sign. Slowly, the pain from her dry throat disappeared. "How long was I out?" The questions sounded weird for someone who was just kidnapped, but for some reason, she thought Mo Li is different from everyone else in this world.

He was… smart. Obviously smarter than everyone else here. And he trusts her.

"Two days."

"Oh?"

"You didn't have any serious injuries from the car crash. Just some minor cuts and bruises. The doctors were even surprised that you didn't wake up sooner." He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. "The driver died."

"And Mr. Daniels? Hey, can you help me sit? My back is a little numb."

He nodded as he spoke. "He is alive, but barely. He was in a coma. The doctors said there was some blood in his brain. They are going to perform a series of surgery. The thing is… they couldn't guarantee that he will survive."

"But he isn't dead yet?" There was a little irritation in her voice. She quickly hid it as she lowered her head. Does this mean her mission is still not done? She is getting tired of this villain, ah.

"No. Not yet."

She lifted her head. She didn't miss the amus.e.m.e.nt in his voice. "Did something happen?"

"Hm? Nothing… I just thought it's funny," he chuckled.

"What's funny? That I wanted someone dead?" What's so amusing about that? She stared at him. Now that she thought about it, this Mo Li is really different from everyone in this world. His reasoning is a bit weird. He doesn't ask questions and totally lets her do whatever she wanted to do. He seems to trust her too much.

Was this because he loved the previous Bella so much? Was it to the point of blindly trusting her? Before he could answer her, she already continued, "Say, why do you trust me so much?"

"You are my wife. Isn't that enough reason to trust you?"

"What if I wanted to blow up a building?"

"Then… I will sit with you as you blow it up?"

"What if I'm a terrorist?" she asked, eyebrow lifted at him.

"You can't be. In the future, you will just stay at home with me."

"What if I'm a psycho?"

"Then… we can be a psycho together. Like a couple's shirt. We can be a couple's psycho?"

"…" She blinked, wondering if he was serious. "Do you trust me with your life?"

"Of course."

"Why is that?" Two things. It's either he loves her too much. Or… alright, she couldn't think of any other reasons why he would blindly trust someone like her. Was it really love?
