"Let's go!" Jonathan was not planning on staying back to watch the Ouyang couple fight. He just wanted to light the fire, and he didn't care to extinguish it. Let them argue between themselves! Jonathan had no interest in staying any longer, and this was his mellow side as he had grown older. If the same situation had presented itself in the past, he wouldn't have wasted words on Yakira. Instead, he would have sent his bodyguards after her and left straight away.
Yes." Daisy calmed herself and looked at Leo Ouyang with her perplexed eyes one last time. Giving a slightly sarcastic smile, she exited this tainted place with Jonathan Mu without turning back. Five hundred million. As a matter of fact, Daisy never realized that she was worth so much. But now that she knew all the facts, how would she keep her head high in front of Edward? It seemed to her that once again she had fallen into a boundless abyss, and once again she made her own cage.
Daisy, what happened to you?" When Daisy and Jonathan reached back outside the ICU, Tom caught something unusual on her face and his casual look immediately disappeared and was replaced by an uneasy one.
Oh! Nothing, I bumped it by accident." Daisy secretly examined Jonathan and bent down her head timidly. She was afraid that he would suddenly burst out and reveal the truth. After all, the man was an enigma.
What's wrong? Let me take a look." Cynthia said as she approached Daisy. She gently lifted Daisy's face. The moment she saw the severe swelling on Daisy's face, Cynthia became worried like Tom did.
What do you mean nothing? The whole side of your face is swollen. Tom, look at this. Put some ointment on her or use an ice pack or something. Such a serious injury must hurt really bad!" Cynthia's delicate face wrinkled with worry. It seemed as if an intolerably painful injury was inflicted on her, making her furrow with pain.
Mom, it's nothing. Don't trouble Tom anymore. How's Edward? Is everything all right?" Daisy knew what she said might be able to fool Cynthia, but that didn't mean that she could fool Tom. If he could check out her face up close, then she would have nowhere to hide. That was why she tried to distract everyone by bringing up Edward's condition.
He's not awake yet, but things are looking up, so you don't need to worry. Please let Tom take a look at your face! Otherwise, Edward would get agitated when he wakes up and sees you hurt like this." Cynthia was certainly treating Daisy as her own daughter. She showered Daisy with all her love. Seeing that her face was so severely injured, she couldn't just ignore it because she was concerned. Jonathan didn't say anything; he just stood beside them in silence. He first glanced at the unconscious figure in the ICU bed and then locked his eyes on Cynthia without turning away even for a second. Watching how much Cynthia frowned for Daisy, he couldn't help but feel sad for Daisy. Jonathan detested Leo even more now.
But since Daisy didn't want others to know that she was hit, Jonathan wouldn't break the news to anyone. He wasn't that kind of a man. He had never been the intrusive kind, so normally he would not care about other people's argument at all, but this time he saw that his daughter-in-law was involved. At that moment, he paused for a bit but didn't intend to step forward. He was going to leave quietly as if he hadn't seen anything, but when he heard that Leo was going to hit Daisy, he couldn't help but stay. And the rest was history.
Daisy, let me take a look at it for you!" Tom was worried that her new injury might worsen her old wounds which didn't completely heal yet. He didn't believe that a fine woman officer would bump herself so severely. Something must have happened, and they just didn't know about it! But she wanted to keep it a secret, so Tom would play along and pretend he hadn't figured anything out. Besides, he believed that Cynthia had the same idea. After all, with her intellect, there was no way for her to buy Daisy's excuse.
Okay, thanks!" Daisy bit on her lip, but she didn't expect the small bite would actually hurt the corner of her mouth. She felt a sharp pain and furrowed her distinguished eyebrows. "It's very serious. We must put some ointment on it. I don't have my bruise medication with me, so right now I'll do some basic treatment to alleviate the burning pain. Later I'll go home and get you the proper meds." As soon as he looked at the injury, Tom knew that Daisy was slapped in her face. Only he didn't know who would be cruel enough to do that, and who could compel her to just stand there and take it. Because with her training, an average person wouldn't even be able to come close to her.
OK." Daisy knew that Tom had found out her secret, so she didn't argue against his suggestions. Meanwhile, she thanked him for being understanding. Whatever he said, she tried to accommodate.
Wait for a moment." When he finished, Tom walked to his office. He needed to fetch some ointment. Even though it wouldn't be as effective as the one he applied last time, it would still help. He hoped that by the time Edward woke up, Daisy's injury would be unnoticeable. If Edward knew that Tom allowed Daisy to get hurt like this in his own hospital, Tom would get all the blame. He was not sure when Edward would take his revenge, but he sure as hell wouldn't let this go away so easily.
In the end, the violent man lying in bed was still the one to blame. If Edward hadn't beaten up Tom the last time, Tom wouldn't have forgotten to bring back the medicine when he took it home for treatment. So ultimately Edward was to blame. If Tom could apply his own medicine on Daisy's swollen face, she would be as good as new in a couple of hours, and Tom wouldn't need to get paranoid about Edward all by himself right now.
