Harvey was deep in the zone, glancing at Daniel and Maisie periodically. His pale face, though, conveyed
seriousness and stubbornness.
He soon flipped his sketchbook, wearing a smile that hinted at his satisfaction.
The subjects of his artistry were Daniel and Maisie, transformed into comic characters with striking realism and
lifelike expressions.
Even Daniel couldn't help but praise, "You're truly deserving of your fame with this talent of yours, Newhouse."
"Oh, wait!" Harvey smirked. "Just a little bit more!"
They were taken aback. After a few strokes, the young, handsome man in the drawing transformed into a plump,
bald figure when revealed again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaniel widened his eyes, and Maisie struggled to suppress her laughter at the unexpected transformation.
"I think MMaisie can release a special edition of the book." Harvey raised his eyebrows. "It'll show what the male
lead looks like when he's old, and my drawing will serve its purpose!"
Daniel scoffed. "Wouldn't the female lead age too?"
"No!" Harvey insisted, "Also, you're old to begin with! Even if 20 years have passed, you'll age faster than Ms.
Maisie!"
Daniel rolled his eyes, choosing not to engage in an argument.
However, Harvey's demeanor shifted after a while.
He chuckled at himself, saying, "Do you think what I said was crazy?"
"What?"
Before Daniel could react, Harvey produced a syringe from his bag and poked his arm as if he had gone mad.
"Stop it!" Both of them were shocked, rushing to intervene.
"I'm not crazy..." Harvey mumbled, "I'm not crazy. I'm not!"
Maisie pressed his hand down. "Since you're not crazy, why are you doing this to yourself?!"
Harvey was suddenly stunned, his body stiff. His wide eyes and pale face gave an unsettling appearance. He bit his
lip, sweat dripping on his forehead.
"Ha. Hahaha..." He laughed. "Do you know that my sister pokes herself too?! I found out her secret, so she got the
doctors to do the same to me!
"She said I'm crazy, so everyone thinks I'm crazy! Even my parents aren't bothered about me. They won't save me.
"I don't know what the meaning of life is. Perhaps it's better to die. Everything will go away if I die..."

Maisie was scared and leaned close to Daniel.
"It's okay," he comforted her. "Seems like he's quite sick. The Hamertons have connections in Southeast Aciatic.
Maybe they can hire an expert to treat him."
"Mm-hmm," Maisie replied, sitting on the couch.
Daniel frowned, more skeptical now.
It appeared Jodie tormented Harvey because he had discovered her secret. What puzzled him was whether she
could truly deceive everyone, even Wilfred and Delilah.
If that were the case, why did they choose to turn a blind eye?
Delilah was furious and stormed out of the crowd.
Lena and Chris noticed and exchanged glances, ready to take action.
Lena followed behind Delilah, signaling Chris when the time was right.
