Chapter 565 The Recording Pen

Hearing it, Daniel immediately stood up and followed Aaden out of the room.

A woman in a white down jacket was holding a dagger across her neck outside the villa. As the gate was opened, a car drove in, and some people with first aid kits walked into the villa with the driver. Aaden and Daniel walked to the gate. Daniel looked at her in a sulk.

"What do you want?"

"I want to see Ainsley!"

Daniel's face darkened. "You might have forgotten what you did before. How dare you show up here? Didn't Roman tell you that we have backup copies of your video? You're too naive if you think you can threaten Mr. Hume with your life. How much do you think your life is worth?" Aaden said.

Lainey went weak at the knees. At the sight of the man who had hurt her and insulted her, she couldn't help trembling.

Her hand trembled so violently that she almost couldn't hold the dagger, but she forced herself to muster up the courage because she cared about Ainsley so much.

But Daniel also cared about Ainsley.

Licking her pale lips, Lainey said coldly, "I know my life means nothing to you, but what about Ainsley? You probably don't know how much I mean to Ainsley. If I die in front of you in this villa, she will definitely hate you!"

"So, you're going to threaten me with my concern about her? Don't you think it's very risky? It's meaningless," said Daniel. He looked at Lainey coldly, but he had to watch his language.

As Lainey had just said, her life meant much to Ainsley. So, it meant much to Daniel.

"Daniel, you much have been glad that Aisy refused Manuel in the hospital and left with you. You can rest assured that I won't ask her to go with me. I just want to see and talk with her," Lainey said, looking mysterious.

Daniel wondered what she wanted to talk about with Ainsley.

"Are you scared? What are you scared of? Do you let me see her or not?" As Lainey tightened her grip on the dagger, a shallow wound appeared on her neck, and blood seeped. "Stop it!'

In the villa, the doctor went all the way to Ainsley's bedroom, led by the driver.

Ainsley was restless somehow. Typically, a boundless expanse of snow could relieve people, but strangely, she felt panic with indescribable anxiety filling her mind, and she found nowhere to vent it. The driver left the room after a worried glance at the doctor. "All you have to do is change the dressing for her. Come out immediately after it's done. Don't say anything else. Otherwise, you'll die.' The doctor was terrified. And then the driver went out with relief.

He knew what was happening outside the villa, so he must stand by, ready to give orders from Daniel.

The doctor put away his fake fear. He carefully took off the gauze on Ainsley's hand and gently changed her dressing. The scar on her hand had a scab and would recover soon. "Who asked you to come here?" Ainsley noticed something different. He was more professional than Sabina.

The doctor looked at the wound intensively, dipped cotton swabs in medicine, and smeared it on the wound. 'Ms. Glover lets me come here. She wants to help you. Mr. Easton told me to give you something." He threw away the cotton swabs and took out a recording pen from the inside pocket of his coat. Just as Ainsley was about to take it away, he pulled it back suddenly. "Ms. Glover likes Mr. Easton very much, and she's willing to fight against the Hume family only for him. We know you're Matteo's cousin, so can you please help Ms. Glover with this relationship?"

Ainsley smiled. "The relationship is only between them. I cant change anything. A relationship is not a deal. I'm grateful for Ms. Glover's help. And I'm sure Matteo will understand her feeling. Does Ms. Glover ask you to say this to me?

Or it's just your own idea?"

The doctor hesitated for a minute. "It's my idea. She doesn't know."

"Sure enough. I've seen her before. She truly wants to help me," Ainsley said and took the pen from the doctor's hand.

Her fingers trembled slightly. She had a hunch that the pen would make a difference in her life.

The doctor handed her an earphone. After putting it on, Ainsley pressed the play button.

It was a long silence at first. And then she heard her own heavy breathing and beating heart, the sound of swallowing, and a deep sigh.

The sigh reminded her of her father.

She used to sneak into his study to eavesdrop on his phone calls or business talks. He would heave a sigh when meeting some challenging problems. And the sigh was the same as that in the recording. She realized that it was recorded by her father.

"Ainsley..."

Ainsley was stunned at her father's weak, elderly voice. Despite being mentally prepared for it, she still couldn't help trembling.

She couldn't hear him call her name in such a gentle voice since her father had passed away.

A few seconds brought her back to the day three years ago when she saw her father in a car accident after she was picked up by Manuel. His face was covered in blood and his eyes were blurred, but he seemed to be able to see her clearly.

However, she was overwhelmed by the grief and passed out.

He had expired when she woke up. She wasn't there with him before his death, which was the reason why she couldn't forgive herself and Manuel.

Manuel entered her life for a ridiculous purpose, which was the start and the cause of all her subsequent misery.

She could not forgive herself, nor could she forgive Manuel.

The recording was still playing. "Aisy, I'm very worried about you. It's not your fault. I hope you can be strong-minded and cheer up even though I can't stay by your side. If it's a conspiracy, I hope you can protect yourself. Don't be afraid, sweetie. I'll always be there for you. Matteo is good to you. I've entrusted you to him. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you wearing a wedding dress, so he'll replace me to hold your hand and walk down the aisle with you. Babe, I'm sorry for not being able to protect you..."
