Daniel used to be completely in the dark. It wasn't until he chanced upon the diary on my desk, which I hadn't put away, and saw my handwriting on it that things started to make sense. "Today I graduated.The teacher felt sorry for me.He thought I wasted my talent,but he didn't know that the criminal police team is where I truly belong."
"Today is the anniversary of my parents' death.When I went to pay my respects at their gravesite, I was shocked to find that their names weren't engraved on the tombstone. I wonder if there will ever come a day when I can openly let the world know who they were." "Captain Linda told me there's a clue about the murderer who killed my parents.I'm so happy.I can finally avenge them."
"Lily is gone.The person who loved me the most and was as warm as my mother lost her life because of me.I'm so sorry,but I think I should pay with my life."

"I had a fight with Daniel today.He blames me for Lily's death.I'm very sad,but I know he's right.I'm a jinx."
"Last night, I dreamed of Lily. She said she was in excruciating pain. I finally couldn't take it anymore and attempted to commit suicide by cutting my wrists in a secluded place." "I didn't succeed.The young nursecalled me and told me I was pregnant.I think it must be the baby saving me.I've decided to live on.I want to be a good mother."
"I saw Daniel at the hospital.I was so happy to tell him the good news,but he didn't believe me and told me to leave him alone."
"I think Daniel is just angry.He will surely like this baby when he knows about it."
"Today is my birthday.Daniel sent me a message.I'm so happy. Does this mean he's planning to accept both me and the baby?"
"By an odd coincidence, I also have a gift I've been wanting to give him."

"I hope he'll be happy when he sees it..."
"I'm going to see him.Wish me luck!"
Here the diary ended.The time stopped on the day before I was killed.
After reading the diary,Daniel finally understood the reasons behind my actions. He collapsed,hugging his head and crying uncontrollably.Finally,as if furious at himself,he kept hitting his head.

"Annie...I was wrong.I was truly wrong.Please come back!"
"I didn't know you suffered so much when you were away from me."
"It's my fault!I deserve to die!"
"I'm not a qualified father!"
Daniel sank to the ground in utter despair. .His eyes fell on the center of the studio.He slowly walked over and lifted the canvas.Inside was the gift I prepared for him.It was a family portrait.The three of us sat side by side,looking at the starry sky.The baby was sleeping in my arms,and Daniel held us in his arms.And around us, there were lush gesang flowers in full bloom.
I named this painting"Gesang",which means happiness in Tibetan.In fact,I didn't have any big wishes.I just hoped we could be safe and happy.But it seemed that in the end, I couldn't make that simple wish come true. And ultimately, I couldn't even protect our baby.
Daniel stared at the painting for a long time.Finally,he smiled with tears in his eyes,knelt down on the ground clumsily,and whispered my name.
"Annie..."
Later,Officer Linda's men followed the clues and found the message records on Daniel's phone.It clearly showed that someone used his phone to contact me that night.Daniel was taken back to the criminal police team by Officer Linda.He truthfully confessed what happened that night.
Daniel begged Officer Linda to give him another chance.
"This time,I want to avenge her myself!"
