"Well, how do you know, Edward? You are staying in the VVIP ward of my hospital. Consider it as the presidential suite of some hotel if that's easier for you to accept. Look how well I've treated you! See? You're the very first patient to stay in this ward! Are you flattered? Yes, you must be!" Tom wore an ear-to-ear grin as he replied to Edward. He didn't mind Edward's threat of tearing down his hospital at all. After all, Edward had enough money to build him another hospital somewhere else.
Damn you Jerry! You did it on purpose! Am I supposed to be grateful to you and take three bows to you to express my sincere gratitude? Is that what you want?" Edward said between gritted teeth. He resorted to the pejorative nickname he had for Tom, "Jerry, " after the titular cartoon mouse. Although he was pale and weary because he was injured, he still looked imposing; the overwhelming aura was born in nature.
"Absolutely not. Edward, come on. I simply thought you would be more comfortable in this ward. How could I let you stay in an ordinary and shabby patient ward? Someone like you deserves a well-equipped VVIP ward like this! As for the bows, well three bows are too much. I think I'll take two, and you can save the last one for someone else. What do you think about that?" Tom pretended to answer casually, yet he was laughing out loud inside, 'Do you think I'm stupid? Do you really think you don't have to pay for the invaluable medicine you took from me before? And don't forget you punched me twice right in my face!
My handsome face! I had to walk around with black eyes in front of my subordinates and my patients! Do you think you can get away with all that? No freaking way!' Tom decided he would make Edward pay for what he had done, starting with paying for this exclusive yet extortionately expensive VVIP ward. Tom had nothing to worry about since Edward was badly injured and couldn't move even a muscle to do anything to him now. That was why he transferred him directly to this VVIP ward, partly because Edward did need better care, and partly because he could charge him more as compensation.
What do I think? I think you're mocking me! You think you have me over a barrel! You must be gloating inside! Do I look stupid to you? Huh?" Edward was furious that he raised his voice. But he frowned all of a sudden because of the sharp pain coming from his chest area. It seemed he was really badly injured, and he couldn't be emotional or even raise his volume at this point. Edward took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
No, no, no. You're overreacting. That's all. Now that you have the energy to quarrel with me, I think there's nothing wrong with you for the time being. So why not go back to whatever you were doing just now? Just ignore me. I'll leave you two alone. Oh, FYI, as a responsible doctor, I must point out that in your current state, you shouldn't do anything too vigorous; so you'd better keep it slow and gentle. You got it? Great! Then I'll see myself out."
As soon as Tom finished speaking with a smirk, he dashed towards the door and left immediately before Edward could say anything to fight back. Even though Edward was injured and lying in bed, he could still send chills down Tom's spine with his fierce, cold glances, not to mention the sharp and vicious words Edward could hurl at him. Tom only teased Edward because he knew Edward couldn't get up from the bed and punch him this time. Now that he got what he wanted, he'd better stop before he went too far, in case he would end up with no money but a few more bruises on his face. He never doubted what Edward was capable of.
Daisy, however, suddenly blushed when she heard Tom's words and realized what he was referring to. Her face was glowing with both embarrassment and coyness like a ripe and succulent apple. To hide her shyness from Edward, Daisy deliberately crouched down and started to gather the papers that were lying scattered on the floor. She had no idea why she would become so bold and kiss Edward, neither did she expect that someone would barge into the room and see them kissing. That was so embarrassing! Daisy thought about Tom's words again and she was a little surprised. She always thought that Tom was a nice and polished gentleman, but it turned out that he could be as cunning and evil as Edward and his other friends were.
Edward said nothing but gazed at Daisy with great interest as she hurriedly organized the papers in her hands. What happened? He wondered whether his coy wife gained another personality overnight and became bold in expressing her love to him. But now it looked like she was still the same woman who would blush every now and then in front of him. Edward couldn't help noticing that Daisy had been avoiding answering his question: what happened to her face? 'Did someone slap her? Who could that be? Why wouldn't she tell me?' Edward was confused.
Daisy picked up all the papers from the floor and placed them on the table. She could feel Edward's inquisitive look boring into her all the time. When she turned around and stole a glance at Edward, who was still eagerly looking at her, trying to find some answer, Daisy was somehow awkward. She nervously looked away and tried to find something to distract Edward's mind. Then she suddenly remembered that his lips were a bit chapped when she kissed him, so she asked, "Are you thirsty? Let me get you some water."
"Forget about the water. Daisy, where's my answer?" Edward didn't quit. He asked determinedly as he saw Daisy turn around again to pour him a glass of water. He knew she was deliberately avoiding eye contact with him, but he didn't intend to drop it until he had the answer he wanted.
"What answer?" Daisy gazed at him with a confused look, as if she had no inkling what he was talking about. She took a small sip of the water to see whether it was too hot for Edward to drink. When she found that it was perfectly lukewarm, she then went back to his bedside with the glass. Just when she was about to hand the glass to Edward, Daisy realized that Edward couldn't sit upright,let alone drink the water by himself. She frown and thought of how careless she was to miss that. She looked around the room, trying to find a tea spoon or something that she could use to feed Edward.
I wouldn't mind if you feed with your mouth. Upon seeing Daisy look around, trying to find something, Edward immediately immediately realized what was in Daisy's mind. He couldn't help teasing Daisy again. He decided that he could find out what happened to Daisy's Face later since he would always find out the truth one way or the other ; however, Daisy's forwardness wasn't something that happened everyday. Edward had no idea why Daisy seemed so forward and bold today, neither he really care. All he wanted for the moment was to seize the rare opportunity and take advantage of her as much as he could, in case she changed her mind the next second.
