Chapter 1223 - 1262: Is It Because of Him
Before leaving, Daniel Harris seriously said to Mabel Quinn again, "Do you remember what I told you back then? If one day, you’re in trouble and need help, you can come find me. I’m willing to go through fire and water to help you."
Whether she loves him or not, even if there will never be an end between them, he is willing to do this, just because, in that once Dark World, it was she who made him realize the beauty of this world and start longing for the light!

Daniel Harris left. Mabel Quinn tidied up the teacup and walked to the desk, gazing at the photo Daniel had been looking at, lost in thought. In this world, there are many kinds of fate, some good, some bad.
She was very grateful to Daniel Harris, and even from his words, she could hear that he had not let go of his feelings for her.
But she had no way to respond.
If she were to be with him out of gratitude, wouldn’t that be a kind of desecration of feelings as well? Daniel Harris deserves a woman who loves him wholeheartedly, not a relationship of settling.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, snapping Mabel Quinn back to reality. She realized she had been in a daze for a good fifteen minutes and walked toward the door, guessing that it might be Auntie Wu bringing Ivy back.
Due to her foot injury these days, it was Auntie Wu who had been picking up and dropping off Ivy.
But when she opened the door, she saw that standing outside was Kyle Kinston. He looked unwell, his face pale, forehead beaded with sweat, and those phoenix eyes filled with red veins fiercely staring at her.
"What’s wrong with you?" Mabel Quinn couldn’t help asking.
The next moment, he suddenly grabbed her arm, pinning her against the wall. His hands completely trapped her within his embrace, and his legs easily pressed against hers, rendering her utterly motionless.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Mabel Quinn frowned, instinctively turning her head aside as Kyle’s face approached, trying to avoid him.
But his fingers gripped her jaw, forcing her to look at him. His breath was heavy with slight gasps, and his eyes... now that he was close, she suddenly noticed a layer of torment in them.
"Tell me, back then... did we break up because of Daniel Harris?" he asked in a slightly hoarse voice.
She was shocked, her eyes widening as she looked at him, "You remember?"
Kyle Kinston’s face turned even paler, so... did they indeed break up because of Daniel Harris? "Tell me, is the person you love in your heart Daniel Harris? Is the real reason you refuse me... because of Daniel Harris?" At this moment, he was mad with jealousy, yet also anxious and in pain.
It seemed as if everything was repeating, just like his mother once had a fiancé, and now, does she also have a Daniel Harris?
Upon hearing these words, Mabel Quinn immediately knew that Kyle Kinston’s memory wasn’t fully restored.
"Who I love in my heart has nothing to do with you, and I refuse you not because of Daniel Harris, only because I don’t love you," Mabel Quinn replied, enduring the pain in her jaw.
