"Will you stay here with me?" Maisie asked.

Daniel smiled and gently patted Maisie's head, wrapping her in a tight embrace.

However, Maisie found it difficult to succumb to sleep when the person she loved was beside her. She opened her

eyes and gazed at him, savoring every moment and reluctant to let time slip away in slumber.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Daniel asked with a smile.

"I suddenly don't feel like sleeping anymore. Can we talk?" Maisie requested.

He nodded and smiled, extending his hand to pat her head.

"Daniel."

"What is it?"

"Why do you love patting my head so much? It's like I'm a kitten or a puppy!" Maisie blurted out unintentionally,

noticing a change in his expression.

Daniel examined his hand, his fingertips trembling. It seemed like a subconscious habit, triggering a recollection of

Maisie saying similar words in the past, albeit with pain and despair echoing through her screams.
