"Sorry, honey! Mommy is too concerned to control her emotions. Don't take it seriously, okay?" Daisy left a gentle kiss on his face and apologized too. She realized that she was not herself and lost her mind when shouting at Justin. After all, he was still a child. Though he usually acted like an adult, he could make mistakes too. She slowed her fluttering heart and realized how badly those harsh words could have hurt Justin's feelings. So she apologized to Justin at once.
Mommy, no problem. I get it. You're worried about daddy and afraid that I might open daddy's wound. That's why you shouted at me like that, isn't it? I don't mind. I mean it." Justin was a sensible boy. He didn't blame his mommy. Instead, he explained Daisy's concern for his daddy to conform her. Although tears glistened in his eyes, he still fought them back. Everyone there was touched by how thoughtful he was. He was so considerate. He couldn't have been trained to be so mindful in a short period. It must have taken years to form his charming personality with great care, love and wise guidance. That's why he was such a wonderful boy. And the one who loved and cared for him was nobody other than Daisy.
Justin, come here." Edward felt tortured in his heart upon seeing his son's hurt expression. Though he was usually infuriated by his little boy, he couldn't help feeling a pain pricking his heart at the sight of Justin's downcast face. So he called Justin to come closer to him and wanted to protect him.
Daddy, I miss you so much." Justin was very careful this time. He even didn't touch Edward. He just stood there, looking at Edward and revealing his sweet smile to him. He was afraid he might touch the wound and hurt his daddy.
Yes! Daddy misses his Justin too." Edward reached out and lightly pinched Justin's milky cheek, with a comfortable smile resting on his mouth. He understood Daisy probably freaked out because of his injury, so she shouted at the little boy without any concern for how it might make him feel.
Daddy, is it still hurting a lot? Let me blow on the wound to ease the pain, okay?"
Despite his words, Justin was still reserved. He dared not rush into his arms and ask for affection as what he usually had done before. He knew it wasn't the proper time today and he couldn't do whatever he wanted.
No, it's not. Daddy feels much better seeing you. It looks like my baby is the best medicine." Edward reached out and pulled Justin into his arms. He gently kissed his hair to comfort him just like with Daisy. He knew his little boy was afraid for his daddy. So was Daisy. After all, they had just reunited and become a family. They still felt unsafe, not knowing whether things would last. They'd definitely grieve if they lost him. And he would rather die than lose them.
You woke up, Mr. Mu." Luke was the one who brought Justin to the hospital. He walked while Justin ran. He just got here now, after checking in. He also sighed with relief seeing Edward awake. He felt much better and less guilty about letting him get shot.
I'm good. How's it going? Did everything get done?" It was the second time Edward asked someone about his orders. They must be of great importance to him. That's why he wanted to know the result as soon as possible.
Yes! Almost done. As for the rest, maybe you need to show up in person." Luke never saw himself as Yakira's enemy. He knew that he was inferior a lot to Edward both in strategy and in speaking. So he was concerned that Yakira might find him out if he got careless. He decided to leave Paul to deal with those crocodiles for a while! After all, Edward just came back to life. It would take at least half a month for him to recover!
Okay, I see." Luke didn't say what Edward's orders were. Meanwhile, Edward asked him vaguely. No one knew what they were talking about except them. Everyone was sensible and didn't ask them about it. If they were supposed to know it, Edward wouldn't hide it from them. They would know anyway. It was just a matter of time.
It looks like I am the last one. It makes me look like I don't care." Leena wore a maxi skirt today. It was inconsistent with her usual cute and lovely dressing style. She walked towards them in a slow pace and looked unnaturally grand. The long skirt showed off her femininity. Everyone was puzzled by the unusual look Leena sported, but Leena seemed to not notice their confusion and walked straight to Edward.
Edward, congratulations! You won in the fight with death and came back to us." Leena lowered her head and left a gentle kiss on Edward's cheek. She looked so lovely and charming. It seemed that no matter what kind of clothing she wore, everyone considered her to be the cutest girl they loved so much.
Leena, are you alright? Are you scared silly by Edward's injury?" Rain could never keep calm when something unusual happened. So he questioned Leena about her elegant dress.
What? Do I look weird in this dress? Don't you think I am very elegant today? Fine!" Even she didn't know why she picked this dress out. It's possible she was shocked by the thought about Kevin and Daisy. So she adjusted her style of dress accordingly.
She didn't feel wrong at all while she was heading for the hospital. Not until she got off the taxi did she realize what she had done. But there was nothing to be done for it. She had no time to go back and change. So she gritted her teeth and walked in, hoping that no one noticed her unusual mode of dress. She didn't think that everyone would be shocked. But she showed her big sweet smile to them, pretending she was calm and nothing happened to her. A cute and lovely girl was what everyone was familiar with, right?
