Genius Girl

Chapter 20 - 20: The messages

Darkness clouded Daniella's feature as soon as the senator's daughter lost her conscious once again.

She sighed, eyes remained dark.

(So how is it huh? How do you feel about sleeping and waking up only to realized that your nightmare is real? That there's no way to escape)

Hands on her side were clenching into fists, she remembered how it was to every day pray and hope for someone to come, to help.

But for three years of living in hell, no one came. Every day, they would cut her body, different places and for what? Only to check how much pain she could take.

Her body was different than normal. Her tissues work faster to heal her wounds but, the scar would stay.

Despite getting her wound to heal faster, her body felt the pain more than a normal human. A simple poke of a needle was like a stab in her heart, it was painful and excruciating. She doubted a normal human could survive a day.

She shut her eyes, remembering the pain has ignited the anger in her heart.

She was like a hungry lion, she needs to kill someone, she wants to divert her anger to something or someone. Her nose wrinkled while her heart trembled as she thought of the pain.

Daniella's hands stretched to remove the girl's bandages, seeing how swollen and infected her eyes are, a bitter smile curved on her lips.

"Claire, do you know what is the only part Dr. Lee didn't touch?" She asked the doctor who was busy cleaning the girl's eyes.

"You said your eyes. Am I correct?"

Daniella nodded as she stayed staring like a hawk at the unconscious girl.

"Yes, they've realized my eyes were somehow connected to the chip in my brain. The chip is controlling my eyes, so when I felt pain, the vibration of my brain was being transmitted to the chip and once the chip reacted, the result showed in my eyes. So, when I felt pain, they became black, the color they've barely seen was blue, they only saw it after they showed my brother" she sighed. Tired of everything but, she knows that she barely started and she has a long way to go before she can rest.

"Daniella. I have never asked you this but, how do you read into people's mind? Especially their past," hearing Claire's question, Daniella lifted her sight and looked at her. The face was gloomy, like the sky during the autumn season.

"I don't know Claire. My mom said it was a gift but, she also said we should hide it. I believed in her but, after we got abducted, I realized that these eyes were not a gift but a curse," the corner of her lips twitched with disgust.

"I need to find where did Dr. Lee hide all the result of his experiment so I can have my answers," her voice was full of failure. It has been three years since she started searching for an answer, she wanted to know how did the chip get into her and her brother's brain.

She could have hired people to check it but, it only means that she needed to go through will all the pain again. And she knows that she couldn't, she can't because her brother is no longer around to support and help her.

She harshly shut her eyes, if she wanted the answers as to why she could read other people's mind, memorized everything she read and think fast, all she needs to do was to find the result Dr. Lee had recorded.

But it's been three years, all the people she met that had a connection on the island she was locked in doesn't have a clue who the man was behind Dr. Lee; all they know was that he's a powerful man.

"What is your plan now?" Claire pulled her senses back from thinking deeply, she blinked and sighed.

Instead of answering, Daniella took her phone out of her pocket and dialed Scott's number.

When the man answered, she spoke, "Scott, bring Senator Abe, I believe it's time for him and Senator Villa to have a little reunion," she smiled wickedly as she thought of the other senator.

"Don't forget to bring his wife," then she ended the phone with her thumb and was about to shove the phone back to her pocket when it suddenly vibrated.

She wanted to ignore it like she always does but, some part of her was urging her to open it. In the back of her mind, she was waiting for someone to call her.

So with that, her hand unlocked her phone.

(Are you busy tomorrow?)

(Can we meet up?)

(I will pick you up tomorrow night. Let's have dinner)

Three messages came one by one, and the sender has made her heart skipped a beat.

She took in a deep sigh, conflicted whether to reply or not.

(Never mind. I am on the way to your apartment. Can you meet me at the lobby?)

Her eyes swelled as she read it, hands started shaking as she thought of an excuse.

She placed the phone on the hospital bed while the cells in her brains started to rush.

(Wait. If I go now, it will take two hours to drive and chopper only takes 30 minutes. There's traffic so it will take him 45 minutes to reach my apartment if his in his office. It will give me enough time to change clothes)

As she counted the time, her body rushed out of the warehouse, leaving Claire alone.

Claire rose an eyebrow; suspicion grew in her mind as she picked up Daniella's phone.

Her eyes narrowed, reading the messages from Evan Su, asking Daniella to meet him.

She lamented; she had never seen Daniella rushed over a guy.

The woman who had set a straight goal of revenge had just left the room in a rush for a man.

Through the open door, she heard the sound of the chopper leaving the place.

She shook her head, wondering how can a stingy woman like Daniella waste resources to meet a man in her lobby.

"Who is this Evan Su?" she wondered.

Daniella Chen, she's a woman with a strong will, a will to revenge her family.

She should have been here tonight, torturing her enemy and yet the woman had just acted like a wife fearing that her husband wouldn't find her in the house.

She chuckled, head shaking with disbelief.

"Finally. Daniella has found her match," saying that to herself, Claire saved Evan's number on her phone and locked Daniella's phone.

She decided to help the senator's daughter. Now that Daniella is not around, she can finally ease her pain.
