Dawn Sutherland looked at Daisy Grant, her gaze deepening. After a mont of silence, Dawn extended his hand towards Daisy, his deep voice ringing out: "Don’t stand in the snow any longer, co ho with ."
Co ho with —
Daisy looked at Dawn’s outstretched hand, fair and slender, almost excessively beautiful. What made Daisy’s eyes sting with tears was that her second brother answered her with action.
A simple "co ho with "—in such circumstances, her second brother had no intention of distancing himself from her.
"Brother—" Daisy’s throat was choked, her voice carrying a sob.
"Even if the whole world doesn’t want you, I do." Dawn pressed his lips together, extending his fingers further towards her.
All the ridicule Daisy suffered from Selah Sutton today, and the helplessness and fear, were soothed by those words.
If years later soone asked if she regretted her choice today, she thought she wouldn’t regret it.
Because the brother she loved was worth it.
Daisy’s fingers trembled as they reached for Dawn’s hand. As soon as she stretched out a little, her icy fingertips were ward by his palm.
With one hand holding an umbrella and the other clasping Daisy’s hand, Dawn turned around and left with her.
As soon as they got in the car and Dawn started the engine to leave, Donna ran out and handed Daisy’s bag to her on the front passenger seat, sowhat pained. "Second Young Master Sutherland, please take good care of the miss. Miss, this is sothing madam wanted to give you. She said President Grant is fine, don’t worry too much, and she told you not to stand in the snow anymore, but to find a hotel and rest."
Daisy took the bag, looking at the lit room of her parents on the second floor, her guilt deepening.
"Donna, please take good care of my dad."
Donna nodded.
Dawn started the car and drove away.
Donna watched as they left, sighed, and turned back to the Grant Family house.
As soon as Donna entered the house, Sophie Brown, worried about her daughter, ca down from upstairs and softly asked, "How is it? Did Daisy leave? She didn’t continue standing in the snow, right?"
Donna nodded, "Second Young Master Sutherland ca to pick up the miss."
"Dawn?" Sophie furrowed her brows slightly.
"Madam, I think Second Young Master Sutherland treats the miss very well. It’s so late and cold outside, and Second Young Master and the miss have always been close since they were young. He will definitely take good care of her."
Sophie sighed and nodded, "I’m quite reassured with Dawn taking care of Daisy. Today I’ve co to terms with it, Selah Sutton is not an easy person to deal with, nor is she easy to get along with. Even if Daisy really marries into the Sutherland Family, she might not be happy. Especially with things like this now, the Sutherland Family’s stance towards Daisy..."
"Then don’t let the miss marry into that family! Spare her the grievances."
"Do you think breaking an engagent is so easy?" Sophie’s face was full of worry.
"I think Young Master Sutherland is not as good as Second Young Master Sutherland. Second Young Master has always been attentive to the miss. When the miss was sick, Second Young Master imdiately went to see her, whereas Young Master Sutherland didn’t show much concern..."
"Don’t talk nonsense!" Sophie interrupted Donna, her expression unusually stern. "Now that Daisy is already facing rumors of an unwed pregnancy, any further gossip about her and her future brother-in-law would be devastating to her!"
"Yes, madam."
Donna imdiately fell silent, not daring to speak further.

Dawn took Daisy back to his apartnt.
Once inside, at the entrance, Dawn took the pink slippers from the shoe cabinet for Daisy to change into.
"Go take a hot shower and dry your hair. The lted snow soaked into your clothes can easily cause a cold."
"Alright."
Daisy stepped in.
Dawn headed to the kitchen, his gentle voice trailing behind, "You can grab a sweater from my closet to change into. It’s too late and most of the stores are closed, and I don’t have any won’s clothes here, so you’ll have to make do."
