Miracle Cutie Chapter 67: The Fancy Daycare

He murmured, "Weird. Who's thinking about me so hard? Could Alice be cursing me right now?"

Daniel now knew her real name.

Thank goodness she'd been taken to the police station yesterday and left a record; otherwise, he'd still be chasing a ghost.

He'd made up his mind: he would keep looking until Alice showed up again.

To make sure she saw the most handsome, perfect version of himself, Daniel spent extra time in front of the mirror fixing his hair and mood before heading out.

Once done, he stepped out of his room, and as he passed Amelia's door, he knocked casually.

He asked, "Amelia? You and Nina home?"

"Amelia?" he called twice, but got no answer.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard faint voices inside.

Daniel frowned and asked again, "Amelia, you in there or not?"

He definitely heard something, but no reply.

He grew a little worried—what if something had happened to her?

"Amelia, I'm coming in! Just checking on you!" he announced loudly and pushed the door.

The next second, the door swung open from the inside.

Instead of Amelia, his dear brother, Benjamin, stood there, looking like pure murder.

Daniel said, "Damn! Benjamin? Weren't you at the office? Why are you here?!"

Benjamin didn't answer.

He simply grabbed Daniel by the collar and dragged him straight up to the third-floor indoor gym.

Normally, Benjamin only used this place to work out alone.

But in special circumstances, Daniel became the training dummy.

Daniel shouted, "Wait! I've got stuff to do! I'm leaving! Work it out by yourself!"

He was terrified of this room and didn't want to stay a single second.

Benjamin asked coldly, "Last night you were with Nina. You gave her the snacks? And the cold soda?"

He pulled the hallway surveillance footage and saw Nina sticking her tiny head out in the middle of the night, sneaking around.

She tried calling someone, then changed her mind and scurried into Daniel's room instead.

Then he watched drunken Daniel rummaging for food, opening the fridge, doing everything the little schemer told him to do.

Daniel's memory of last night was foggy.

He still tried to defend himself, saying, "I don't remember, man! I was wasted! And giving a kid some snacks isn't a capital crime..."

Benjamin shut him up, saying sharply, "She has gastroenteritis. Throwing up, fever, and she just fell asleep after her medicine."

Daniel's face changed. "I really didn't know! I'm going to check on her!"

He tried to bolt, but Benjamin wasn't done.

By the time they left the gym, Daniel's legs were shaking, and a fresh bruise bloomed on his cheek.

Daniel asked, sounding a little confused, "You beat me this badly just because of Nina?"

Something didn't add up.

Daniel knew Benjamin cared about Nina.

But today... felt like it carried more than just brotherly irritation. It felt like Benjamin had mixed in something else—something Daniel couldn't quite pinpoint.

Benjamin didn't dignify the question with a single syllable.

To his brother's legendary mute mode, all Daniel could do was sulk.

He huffed dramatically and ran to peek at Nina.

She was fast asleep.

He watched her tiny sleeping face for a long time, then quietly backed out.

When the kids got sick, every minute felt like torture for the parents.

Amelia had planned to go back to work once her own injury healed.

Now with Nina down, she pushed everything back again.

Leo immediately called the moment he noticed.

He rambled. "Amelia, I know you've got Daniel bankrolling you now, so money's not tight.

"But let's be real—his world and your world are galaxies apart.

"You really think you're marrying into the Graham family?

"Wake up! Families like that aren't for girls like you!

"While he still has feelings for you, grab every resource you can!

"Variety shows, dramas, endorsements—strike while the iron's hot!

"And the jobs you already signed for? You can't keep postponing! People are already calling you a diva. I know you were hurt. I've talked to the director—we'll shoot the easy scenes first."

Leo went on and on until Amelia's head throbbed.

She promised to come in soon.

Three days later, once Nina was fully recovered, Amelia rushed back to the set.

Amelia went to work, Benjamin went to the office, and William flew abroad for business.

Daniel spent every day hunting for Alice.

And Nina—who didn't have preschool yet—suddenly had no one to watch her.

Well... almost no one.

In the end, they enrolled her in the ultra-elite daycare located in the commercial tower right next to Graham Group's headquarters.
