"I see." The thought didn't occur to Brandy.
"It appears that Daemon really cares about Derilo." Zayn widened his lips into a smile. "Perhaps, something good might come out of this."
"Erm…" Brandy attempted to say something but held his tongue in fear.
"What is it?" Zayn raised his eyebrow curiously.
"Ahem…" Brandy cleared his throat and meekly remarked, "Given how bad-tempered that witch is, marrying her is the equivalent of bringing a timebomb home. In the event he gets on her nerves, there will never be peace at home. Therefore, I wonder if Mr. Lierger has thought this through?"
"No wonder Benard and Bugara have girlfriends, while you don't." Zayn rolled his eyes at Brandy. "Considering the way you think, there's no way any girl will fall for you."
"Uhh…" Brandy was still clueless.
"Someone like Mr. Lierger loves a difficult challenge. Hence, any ordinary girl doesn't pique his interest at all, " Zayn explained. "Only Derila is capable of capturing his heart."
"Fine. Love is truly something beyond my comprehension." Brandy found it hard to understand. "It just feels like you're going around in search of pain."
Zayn burst into laughter upon hearing Brandy's response. "The way you put it does seem to make sense."
After all, couples who care a lot about each other would always end up torturing one another in conflict. In fact, life would be more peaceful without such passion. However, isn't that the sign of having met one's true love?
Suddenly, an Aston Martin sped past them from the opposing direction on their way up the hill.
Brandy recognized Derila in it at once. Just when he was about to say something, the car screeched to a halt and backed up toward them.
As both cars wound down their windows, Zayn turned his head to look out the window. At the same time, Derila stuck her head out and scowled. "Have you finally remembered to come? And here I was, thinking that you were dead."
"Dr. Feroma, considering all the effort you have put in to revive me, I won't allow myself to die that easily." Zayn looked at her with a vibrant smile. "I was just delayed by work. Besides, didn't I make it here before sundown?"
"I'm glad you still know what's good for you!" Derila glared at him. After that, she stretched her neck to check inside Zayn's car. "Where are my children?"
"Have you forgotten how difficult it is to get them back from Daemon?" Zayn sounded frustrated on purpose. "Besides, didn't I tell you that I needed some time?"
"How long?" Having a memory equivalent to that of a goldfish, Derila had forgotten Zayn's words from two days ago.
"Since we haven't started today's treatment, let's go back up and get it done. After that, I'm going to meet with Daemon." Zayn glanced at his watch. "I have an appointment with him at ten."
"All right!" Derila was overjoyed by the answer. "Follow me then."
With that, the Aston Martin swung around and sped back up the hill.
Even though Bugara tried his best to follow her, he simply couldn't keep up.
"Slow down, Mr. Giblo is still injured, remember?" Feeling irritated, Brandy admonished him, "We're not in a race."
"Got it." Bugara slowed down into a steady drive. Nevertheless, he couldn't resist lamenting, "I didn't expect Derilo to be such an amazing driver. In fact, she's more skillful than Rogan and me!"
"Isn't that obvious?" Zayn sneered. "Her skills are on par with Daemon, who was the one who trained Rogan."
"I see." Bugara was shocked. "I heard from Rogan that Mr. Lierger has mad driving skills even though he seldom drives. If Derilo is really as good as him, I'm definitely ashamed of my own skills."
"That witch possesses many other outstanding talents. It's just that she's a little off in her head." Zayn had gotten to understand Derilo better. "Well, God is fair. No one is truly perfect."
"She's already someone exceptional, " Brandy exclaimed. "There aren't many guys in this world that can stand up to her."
"Mmm-hmm. It's best not to get on her nerves. Even Mr. Lierger's men are afraid of her."
