Tianyi embraced her and got into the car, saying, "She won't. She'll come around after some time. Even if Huangfu Shaohua wasn't kidnapped because of you, Sheng Haoguang would have kidnapped him for other reasons. Unless someone can capture Sheng Haoguang before he succeeds, Huangfu Shaohua will be in trouble sooner or later."
Susu hummed, knowing Tianyi was trying to comfort her.
However, she still felt guilty. She shouldn't have meddled, shouldn't have been indignant for Daisy and taken the initiative to arrange a meeting with Huangfu Shaohua.
Susu took out her phone in the car and tried calling Daisy's number. As expected, it was turned off.
She wanted to send Daisy a text message, but after thinking for a long time, she didn't know what to say. Feeling distressed, she put her phone away.
...
The two maids standing by the door immediately followed Daisy as soon as they saw her emerge.
One maid said, "Miss Daisy, if you need anything or want to do something, you can just tell us. You don't have to do it yourself."
Daisy found them annoying and said irritably, "I don't need you to do anything. I just want to walk around. Can't I move around in this house?"
"Madam said you need to rest well. It's very important to protect the fetus in the early stages of pregnancy," the maid said, recalling Sister Fen's instructions.
Daisy said with a laugh, "Go tell Madam that just resting the body is useless. If I'm in a bad mood, it will still affect the fetus."
After speaking, she ignored the two maids and began to wander around the villa as if on a stroll.
She was already familiar with the internal structure of the villa. There was only one main entrance.
There should have been a back door originally, but a wall had been built to seal it off.
Bodyguards were stationed at the main entrance, blocking it as well.
She could move freely within the house. There was a study, a viewing room, a gym, several guest rooms, and rooms for the maids.
The two rooms at the very back on the second floor were locked, and she couldn't open them at will.
Sister Fen said these two rooms were Madam's private rooms, and they were always locked when Madam was not present.
It seemed that her only chance to leave was to knock out all the bodyguards at the entrance.
But with her current physical condition, it was difficult to do so. She could only be held captive like this.
As she wandered aimlessly to the first floor, she saw Sister Fen walking in from outside. Upon seeing her, Sister Fen walked up and said, "Miss Daisy, it's good that you're not in your room. Madam wants you to use the landline to contact your parents and let them know you're safe, to prevent them from causing trouble."
Daisy's first reaction was concern for her parents. She asked, "Why are you suddenly asking me to report my safety to them? Did something happen to them?"
"It's good that they're fine. It's just that they can't reach you, and it looks like they want to report to the police," Sister Fen said with a threatening tone. "You'd better make them give up this idea, or something will happen to them before they even reach the police station."
"Are you saying you have people watching them all the time?" Daisy retorted.
Sister Fen didn't answer her. She asked Daisy to wait in the living room, then went to get a landline phone and connected it to the wall jack.
Seeing the landline phone, Daisy felt a strange surge of excitement and nervousness. She wondered who she could ask for help if she had a chance to contact the outside world, who could help her escape from here?
Sister Fen reminded her, "Miss Daisy, don't have any ulterior motives. It's best to be obedient before the child is born, otherwise, you'll only harm yourself and your parents."
"Then what should I say when I call my parents? You'd better write a script. How do I know I won't say something wrong and anger your Madam, leading to disaster for me and my family?" Daisy said irritably.
Sister Fen said with a stern, expressionless face, "Think about it yourself before you make the call. I'll be sitting right here recording. After your call, I'll send the recording to Madam. You'd better consider it carefully."
After speaking, she pointed to the landline phone, indicating that Daisy could sit nearby and contact her parents.
Daisy sat down and picked up the receiver to dial. She paused for a few seconds, and for the sake of her parents' safety, she decided not to act impulsively.
She made up her mind, dialed her mother's mobile number, and the call was quickly answered.
"Mom."
When Daisy's mother heard her voice, she could hardly believe it. She said excitedly, "Xixi! Your father and I are worried sick."
"Are you and Dad okay?"
"Yes, we're both fine." Daisy's mother asked, "Where did you go? Why has your phone been turned off?"
"I found a temple in the mountains and wanted to quiet my mind. The signal here is bad, so my phone doesn't work at all," Daisy lied. "I was afraid you'd worry, so I'm using this landline to let you know I'm safe."
Daisy's mother complained, "This child is pregnant now and not feeling well. Why did you go to a place like that? Come back quickly. If something happens, are there any good hospitals there?"
"Mom, I know my own body. I meditate here every day without strenuous exercise, so I'll be fine. I'll come back when I feel more settled."
"Which temple is it? Maybe I can come and stay with you." Daisy's mother was still worried.
Sister Fen, who was standing nearby, tensed up. Daisy quickly said, "Mom, you're not feeling well either. This place is very far from Lancheng, and it involves climbing mountains and crossing rivers. Please don't come. You have a heart condition, so you should rest at home."
"But..."
"Mom, I'm an adult now, not a child. I can take care of myself." Daisy was afraid that if she said too much, her mother would really go to the temple to find her. "Someone else is waiting to use this only landline here, so I can't talk to you anymore. Goodbye."
She quickly hung up the phone. As long as her parents were safe, she felt a lot more relieved.
Sister Fen immediately unplugged the phone line and took the phone with her into the locked room.
Daisy watched her intently, noticing that the key to the locked room was in Sister Fen's hand. When she returned to the living room, she put it in her pocket.
How could she get this key?
Daisy remained seated, lost in thought, when Sister Fen's voice, cold and stern, said, "Miss Daisy, you've had enough activity for today. You can go back to your room to rest."
Daisy hummed and stood up, returning directly to the room she was staying in.
Sister Fen watched her retreating back and instructed the two maids who were constantly guarding her, "You must keep a close eye on her. Wherever she goes in this house, you follow her. Do you understand?"
"Understood," the two maids replied in unison and immediately went to guard the door of Daisy's room.
...
Daisy's mother hung up the phone. Knowing that her daughter was safe, she felt much relieved and quickly told Daisy's father about it, telling him not to worry too much.
She then thought of Susu and felt she should also let Susu know that Daisy had contacted her and reported her safety.
