Meanwhile, the ladies broke out in laughter, and some of them even took out their phones to record Darryl as if it was breaking news.
Darryl could feel his cheeks become red, but he had no other choice.
All Evelyn could feel was a pair of big hands massaging her feet with adequate strength. She leaned back slightly, enjoying the bliss. At the same time, she looked down at Darryl. This man had no sense of dignity. How could a man kneel and wash a woman’s feet in public!? Calling him a douche was a compliment.
Evelyn kicked off his hands and scoffed, “You look like a dog washing my feet. I don’t want to look at you anymore. Take the Heart of the Ocean and get lost.” She raised her hand and tossed the necklace toward the door.
In that instant, Darryl was overwhelmed with excitement as he ran towards the door and picked the necklace from the floor. After that, he ran away and disappeared out of sight. He could still hear the laughter coming from the café long after he had left.
By the time he got back to the Sanders mansion, the sky had turned dark. He went straight to the second floor and fed the Heart of the Ocean to Dax.
Knowing that he came back with the Heart of the Ocean, Old Master Sanders and Nancy were delighted. They waited for Dax to wake up till midnight. The doctor came by and checked on Dax, but he shook his head and left.
It was two o’clock in the morning when Old Master Sanders and Nancy became too tired and went back to their bedrooms. Darryl was left alone outside Dax ’s room.
He knew that Dax was unlikely to wake up ever again after being asleep for so long. Yet. he did not want to leave him. He wanted to stay and wait till he woke up, even if the chances were slim. After a while, Darryl could no longer fight back his fatigue and fell asleep leaning on the wall outside the door.
He was roused awake when he felt someone tapping his shoulder. At first, he thought it was Dax, and he opened his eyes in anticipation, he saw it was Nancy instead.
She was dressed in her nightgown, and her body was alluring.
“Darryl, you don’t have to wait,” Nancy said gently.
“Dax probably won’t wake up anymore.”
“I’m not sleepy. I’ll wait for a little longer,” Darryl shook his head as he spoke with a hoarse voice.
Since he insisted, Nancy nodded and brought him a blanket before returning to her bedroom.
