Genius Girl-Chapter 156 - 156: Another intruder
Chapter 156 - 156: Another intruder
Daniella shifted from one foot to another towards Aaron, she squatted on the floor when she reached him and lifted his chin to meet her eyes.
She couldn't read him, simply because he's wearing lenses. So, she lifted a hand to take it off but before she could start to read his mind, Arron pushed her.
Daniella groaned when she felt the pain in her bottom, she took in a deep breath and about to get up when Aaron suddenly took the knife she first threw at him on the floor and quickly stabbed his eyes.
A loud scream came out of Aaron's eyes. Daniella was shocked to see his action.
'He knows!' that's what she thought. He knew that she can read minds through people's eyes that's why he stabbed himself with no hesitation and now that he's blind, she won't be able to get information from him.
"No!!!!!" she screamed repeatedly and rushed to him, she took the knife from his hand and got up hurriedly.
She went to the bathroom where she found a medical kit, she tried to stop the bleeding but Arron kept moving and screaming.
Soon, Aaron lost his consciousness, Daniella was able to stop the bleeding but still, he needed to be treated.
Fear rose in Daniella's chest, she leaned on the wall – sitting next to Aaron, both hands in her hair, pulling them tightly to remove the fear creeping her mind.
'How did he know?' she asked herself.
'is he working with Dr. Lee?' she asked.
So many unanswered questions, she could get the answer but, Aaron stabbed his eyes.
She brushed both hands over her face, she breathed out heavily.
Soon, she got up and left the place to get the emergency medical kit from her house. When she came back, Aaron was half awake while a folder in his hand with her information and pictures from her childhood.
Her eyes squinted in suspicion, she started to wonder how did the folder get into his hands, she might have been gone for an hour but Aaron was half dead so he can't get up.
She picked the papers one by one and then the pictures. Her lips formed a sad calm smile. It was her and Danny, in the bas.e.m.e.nt on their 11th birthday.
Roman Lee destroyed her innocence, she's no longer the same pure little girl in the picture who was weak and afraid.
Her eyelids became heavy, she blinked repeatedly as the emotion-filled her mind.
"You will never have a normal life, Daniella, especially if you stay with him."
Daniella's shoulder shook by Aaron's voice. She took a syringe and injected him with anesthesia.
"What do you mean?" her voice was emotionless, she's glad that Aaron stabbed his eyes or else, he would have seen the pain and tears in her eyes. But, he didn't reply, his lips pursed tightly.
Perhaps she's the same girl but maybe a little stronger, right now, seeing the blood in Aaron's face and hear the pain in his breathing made her pitied him.
She hated it, but she needed to show everyone that hurting them doesn't bother her at all so she would smile at them, smile like she's enjoying it but deep inside she was crying and begging herself to stop.
"Since your eyes are useless and for sure you won't tell me the truth, I will leave you here and wait for whoever you're working with to come and help you," she paused and cleanse his wound.
She will let him live, simply because she doesn't kill people. But she will watch and wait until someone rescues him and when that time comes, she will make sure to get all the information she needed.
After Daniella left, Aaron pressed the emergency alarm in his watch, asking for his sister to help him.
When his watch buzzed, he pressed the button on the side and her sister worried voice sounded.
"Are you ok?"
Aaron groaned, "Kierry, help me! I stabbed my eyes."
"I will send help there."

Earlier...
After Daniella left, Evan entered Aaron's apartment. He's being accompanied by Mark.
As they entered the apartment, a few drops of blood were on the floor, Evan gulped hard, he knew that Daniella wasn't hurt as he saw her leaving unharmed.
A sound pleading for help made Evan and Mark looked at the kitchen and when they reached it, their eyes swelled in shock.
Aaron was on the floor, a knife on his shoulder while his eyes were patched and blood over his face.
"Please help me!" Aaron lifted a hand; he knew it was not Daniella as the scent was not vanilla.
Evan narrowed his eyes, he pitied the man, he was bleeding and in pain, and he could almost imagine what it felt like.
"Boss, I found this," it was Mark, Evan didn't even notice that he left his side.
He looked at the folder and took it. A line appeared in between his brows to see Daniella's information.
He flipped the pages one after another, it was Daniella's information from when she was a kid. From her real birthday to the birthplace, her family's information and the place she grew up with.
At the end of the page was a transparent plastic full of pictures.
Evan took it out, his breathing quickened.
It was Daniella's photos from when she was with him in Macao, as well as Selena, even Matthew and James park.
His face screwed, he shifted from one picture to another, so many pictures were taken from a different time but all of it was Daniella's - Aaron seemed to have been following Daniella.
'No wonder, he knows about the cave!' he said to himself. Even the pictures of Daniella in the bas.e.m.e.nt were in there. He noticed that all the photos seemed to have been captured secretly as the quality and the angle wasn't perfect.
He gulped hard when he saw the photo of Daniella in the bed with his brother, both of them had a weak smile on their lips, but their bodies were thin and almost like a bone.
His hands shook, but still, he has the energy to check the next picture.
It was a photo of Daniella and her brother when they were young, though this time, it was a close-up photo. The boy has the same round eyes as Daniella, but unlike the pictures in the bas.e.m.e.nt, the photo in his hand was in a room with daisy wallpapers and the two kids were smiling widely at the camera.
He looked at the back of the photo and noticed the names Danny and Daniella on the bottom left side.
Terror overtook his face as the realization hit him, Daniella's face when she was small, it was the same as his friend's Glen's son. His eyebrows creasing so deeply stared at Daniella's photo, making sure that his eyes were seeing the picture right.
He took his phone while his feet strode out of the kitchen, he sat onto the couch as he waited for his friend to answer the call.
"What is it, Evan? Did Ken kill someone again?" it was a joke but Evan was not in the mood for it.
"Can you send me Danny's photo on his 3rd birthday?"
"Why?" Glen asked.
"Just do it please!" he said in a hoarse tone and ended the call.
Soon, his phone buzzed, Evan opened his phone and his eyes shut by itself when he realized that the kid's photos in his hand looked cunningly similar.
Mark came, pulling Evan's senses back to reality.
"Daniella is coming back boss, should we go?"
Evan got up, he hid the photo in his back pocket and left the place hurriedly.
