Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44

"Elliot, do you like the Black Rose that much?" Danielle asked.

Elliot nodded vigorously. The Black Rose wasn’t just something he liked; it’s something he dreamed of owning.

"Kit, go to the armory and fetch me six Black Roses," Danielle ordered.

Elliot asked, "Danielle, who taught you how to make weapons?" He was shocked by how much Danielle knew given her age.

Danielle thought for a moment and said, "I taught myself the skill of making weapons."

David looked at Danielle lovingly. As expected, his girlfriend was outstanding.

Elliot thought, ’Danielle and I share the same genes. Why am I not as talented as her?’ Kit came back with six wooden boxes and placed them in front of Danielle. He respectfully said, "Shadow, the guns are in the boxes."

Danielle distributed the boxes to Elliot, Maximus, Justin, Luke, and Lydia. She passed the last box to David.

They were stunned as they stared at the wooden boxes in their hands.

Danielle actually gave each of them a Black Rose as though it was some commonly available door gift.

Elliot said, "Danielle, we can’t accept this. It’s too precious. Besides, we can’t own guns without authorization." He wanted to give the wooden box back to Danielle.

"That’s right. We can’t take this. We have to abide by the army’s rules," said Maximus as he stared intensely at the wooden box. He couldn’t bear to part with it, but he knew he had to return this to Danielle.

Lydia chimed in and said, "Danielle, thank you for your gift, but I can’t keep it." The Black Rose was a valuable weapon that even the richest were dying to get their hands on. Its value far surpassed that of money.

Justin and Luke also wanted to return the guns to Danielle.

Danielle had just saved them from the besiegement of Jackson’s men. She had also sent out her men to help rescue the hostages. Elliot and his friends felt shameless for accepting such precious gifts after all that Danielle had done for them.

"Danielle, this is the first gift you’ve given me. I’ll treasure it," said David as he held the gift lovingly.

Danielle looked at David and smiled. "I’m glad you like it."

Everyone else present rolled their eyes at how lovey-dovey Danielle and David were.

Danielle said, "Elliot, keep the gun. The Black Rose is not anything special here at my fortress. Consider it a trinket to add to your personal collection. Also,

the bullets are specially made. If you run out of bullets, just ask me for more."

The men accepted the gifts happily after being persuaded by Danielle. After all, they were really fond of the gun.

Maximus said, "Danielle, just let me know if I can be of any help to you in the future."

The rest of them also stared at Danielle with fervent gazes.

Danielle replied, "Alright."

Just then, Denny and his team returned from the rescue mission.

Denny reported, "Shadow, we saved the hostages.

When we arrived, the other party was in the process of moving the research lab. We got into a fight, and Hugh Morris escaped.

"In addition, some of those hostages were dead. We only brought back those who are alive. We managed to save Professor Erk too. The hostages who were subjected to human experiments aren’t doing very well. We’ve placed them in the infirmary."

Danielle nodded and said, "I’ll take a look at the hostages."

Danielle entered the infirmary. She saw more than ten people tied to the beds. They were the victims who had been experimented on.

Elliot wondered when and how Danielle picked up this skill. She seemed to be proficient in medicine. Elliot even felt unworthy to be Danielle’s brother.

Danielle was fully focused on administering the acupuncture. Sweat trickled down her face.

After Danielle and Paul attended to the patients, they finally reacted to the tranquilizers.

David took out a handkerchief and wiped Danielle’s forehead. His gaze revealed deep affection as he took a glass of water and brought it to Danielle’s mouth.

Danielle was indeed thirsty. After drinking more than half a glass, David removed the glass and began massaging Danielle’s hands. Her hands were red from holding needles for a long time.

"Danielle, are you feeling better?" asked David as he concentrated on massaging.

"I’m fine." Danielle was used to it. She used to practise acupuncture the entire day without resting.

The people in the ward were both jealous and annoyed at how David attended to Danielle lovingly.

Nathan thought, ’Miss Darling is the only one capable of turning Mr. Charrington from a decisive and ruthless CEO to a caring and gentle boyfriend.

Just then, Taylor rushed in with the lab report. He wondered why everyone in the ward was so quiet.

He approached Danielle and saw her enjoying a massage from David. Taylor then regretted his decision to show up now. He was single and had no one to be lovey-dovey with.

Danielle noticed Taylor holding the lab report. She asked calmly, "Are the results out?"

Taylor handed the report to Danielle and reported, "Yes. The lab analyzed the reagents. This virus is an upgraded version of IV2. The hostages have this virus in their blood, but other viruses are left in their bodies too."

Danielle studied the report. She had a feeling that the Wulf Clan’s research lab was researching other viruses too. It was unlikely for the Wulf Clan to go through so much trouble just for a simple virus like IV2.
