chapter 66

Daisy found nobody in the room and the door was also closed. She was feeling dizzy and weak but still while staggering she managed to stand up from the bed. Taking slow careful steps, she started walking towards the door, supporting the bed. She was feeling that suddenly her body started feeling heavy. Even walking was difficult for her. The gown, she was wearing was not of her size. It was a little loose but she felt comfortable in it. 

She was almost near the door when the door suddenly opened by outside and startling Daisy, Lucas entered Inside the room.

Daisy shouted in her weak yet aggressive voice, " Lucas, it is you who kidnapped me and changed my cloth? How dare you? How can you do this? How can you touch me without my permission?" Daisy stated all her feelings in a single breath. 

Frowning his eyebrows slightly, Lucas replied nonchalantly, "Can't you remember anything? Have you forgotten everything? Can you say who was around you when you fell in the pool or you were alone?"

For a second Daisy paused then she slowly mumbled in her low and weak voice, "I am sorry I couldn't remember at first but yeah now I can. I fell in the pool but I didn't fall myself. Someone pushed me." Then, leaning against the corner of the bed, she continued feebly, "Sorry for blaming. Then, it is you who saved me." But, instinctively her eyes moved to her new loose dress. 

Before Daisy could ask or say anything, Lucas replied with a little hesitation, "Your dress.. umm. I didn't change it. It is changed by Aunt Moly." 

Daisy's fear calmed down with those simple words. But again she asked in a disappointed tone, "But, Lucas, why did you bring me here? You should drop me at my home. Everyone must be very worried about me right now."

Lucas mumbled hesitantly, taking a few steps closer to Daisy, " I know everything, Daisy. But, my priority was you. I was so clueless finding you in that way that I called my family physician. But I-"

Before Lucas could finish his sentence, Daisy stopped him and interrupted in a weak yet dominating voice, " Thanks Lucas for saving me. But, you should bring me to your house like this." Then, taking few more steps towards the exit door of the bedroom while staggering, she continued, "I have to return home right now. See you later." Then, taking slow steps she started walking towards the stairs.

From behind Lucas muttered hesitantly, "But Daisy you are still-" Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the slender silhouette of Daisy, suddenly imbalanced and almost about to fall on the ground when Lucas caught her by wrapping his one hand around her waist. Startling Daisy looked at Lucas with a surprised expression. Lucas was also paused for a few seconds as his eyes were fixed at the calm and beautiful eyes of Daisy. It was as deep as the ocean. But, when Daisy pushed against his chest gently and mumbled in a low voice, "Lucas, why are you staring at me like this?" Then only Lucan realized his mistakes. He supported Daisy to stand steadily then stepping back for a few steps, clearing his voice, he replied, "Daisy, I don't think it is a good idea to return alone. I have bought your medicines first take it and eat something. You are still weak." 

Daisy immediately denied, "No, Lucas. Everyone is worried. I have to return right now." 

After a little pause, Lucas nodded his agreement and then replied, "Ok. Let's go. I will go with you." Then, he quickly entered inside the room and returned in no time with a bunch of keys in his hand. 

Then, looking at Daisy, he offered his hand. Daisy at first hesitated but she also knew that she couldn't walk alone to the car so she held his hand. They both headed towards the car together. 

The moment Daisy's small soft hand touched the strong hand of Lucas a warm feeling hit his heart. He felt as if he never wanted to leave that hand. 

Soon, they reached near Daisy's house. Daisy was so weak that she fell asleep in the car. Lucas was driving when suddenly he saw the sleeping face of Daisy. She was sleeping, leaning against the window mirror of the car. Her head was slightly colliding with it. Lucas noticed for a few seconds, then while driving with one hand, he pulled Daisy's head on his shoulder. 

Leaning against Lucas's shoulder, Daisy sighed comfortably but she didn't wake up. It was because of the high dose medicine of her nerves.

When they arrived at their destination, Lucas called in a soft polite voice, "Daisy, Daisy. We are at your home."

But even after calling for a few times, she didn't manage to wake up. Lucas sighed helplessly. 

Nicolas, Alex and Jason almost searched the whole banquet for Daisy but they couldn't find a single sign of her except her handbag which was found on the ground at the corner of the garden area. So, it was not hard for them to guess that something bad happened with Daisy. They even called Helen and when they found that she also knew nothing, their worry doubled. 

Nicolas immediately ran towards the parking lot and without waiting for anyone he started his bike. Alex asked from behind, shouting, "Nick, where are you going??" 

Nicolas replied without even looking at him, "To Daisy's house. You two search here thoroughly and inform me if get to know anything." 

Jason shouted, "Ok. We will follow you if we don't find anything here."

Nicolas's bike was almost at its highest speed. It was overtaking all the cars like wind. Even, every pedestrian was looking at him in surprised eyes.

It was almost 10:30 pm when Rhea ran to open the door, hearing the sound of the calling bell. She was expecting that it was Daisy but when she opened the door, her eyebrows frowned slightly seeing the unexpected guest in front of her. A tall and handsome boy stood in front of her house with an extremely worried expression on his face.
