"How is she? The wound on her hand has scarred, hasn't it?" Edward asked Tom with a smile, looking agreeable but more creepy in Tom's eyes. Tom was so scared to step into this. It might be a trap.
"Um! Yes, it has. I'm sure her wound will be healed faster if you put away your soft and enchanting smile." Tom replied, raising his eyebrow to Daisy as a signal to ask what was going on here. Tom felt like he was falling into a trap.
But Daisy couldn't figure out what he was getting at. With a confused face, she just replied Tom with a shrug and a helpless expression.
Oh! You do look guilty! So do you want to give me a good explanation now?" Edward asked, wiped the smile off his face and turned to Tom, with his deep and sharp eyes staring at him.
"I can make it up to you right now! Okay?" 'Oh my god!' Tom thought to himself, 'Daisy, you were so ruthless to have told Edward the truth already. I knew it was unintentional, but you are pushing me hard towards Edward. The man's a devil!'
"So tell me," Edward said, lifting the corners of his mouth and a smile playing across his lips. It was so dazzling that Tom couldn't help blinking his eyes, but he had no idea what that smile meant.
No, I can't," Tom replied listlessly, without any enthusiasm. He knew that his plan of having Edward pay the exorbitant price for the suite fell through right when he spoke those words. Instead of gaining huge profits, he even paid him his expensive labor. Think about it: If you were him, would you cheer up? "There's many a slip twixt cup and lip." Like the proverb said, everything was going wrong.
"Well... I think you know what to do now," Edward said with a faint smile on his face and thought, 'Very well. He is smart enough to realize his mistake so soon. It's worth it for me to act so harsh in front of him. He really underestimated me if he wanted to extort money from me!' Anyone should feel lucky if Edward didn't plan to set him or her up. Now someone tried to set up him. It was obvious that he was asking for trouble.
"Yes, I know. I will go back home to fetch the medicine right now." Oh... His money! His medicine! All of them were plundered by this unscrupulous and cunning Edward, leaving nothing to him. Tom thought. He blamed himself for learning this from Rain. He was clear that he couldn't be a match for Edward, but he offered himself to Edward to be abused again and again and never learned his lesson from it. He thought he was too stupid. He should have done some tricks to damage Edward's brain when he did the surgery for him last night. In that case, he wouldn't have had to worry about being robbed by him.
What are you talking about? Why can't I understand what everyone's talking about? And Daisy, what's wrong with your face?" Leena asked anxiously. She didn't notice Daisy's face until she stood close to her. No sooner were the words out of her mouth than Tom wanted to die. He regretted desperately and blamed himself for pursuing beauty as Rain did. If he hadn't pursued it, he would have avoided taking the medicine home. Then all these bad things wouldn't happen in quick succession.
Um! Mom, I also want to know." Actually, Justin wanted to ask about it at the beginning. As he was lectured by Daisy, he couldn't find a suitable chance to speak out. Now that Leena mentioned it, he took the chance to pursue this subject.
"Uh! Well..." Daisy turned to Edward for help with a pathetic look on her face. She had concocted a number of explanations for her face all day long. She thought she had avoided the nervous attention on her from Justin, but she couldn't anticipate that there was another person as curious as Justin. That was Leena. It was too sudden for her to cover up herself with a good excuse.
"It's fine. Not a big deal. She was just careless and hurt herself. Can you stop being curious now? Tell me! Did you get along well on the way back?" Edward said but shook his head helplessly when receiving the signal of help from Daisy. He had to distract their attention even though he knew his words would cause another war between Leena and Justin. But for the sake of his cute wife, he had no choice but to do so.
Yes." Justin gave a positive answer.
How could it be no?" Leena denied that she was so childish to fight with a child. Although, Justin's intelligence was similar to that of an adult, she was unwilling to be treated in the same way as Justin.
They answered in chorus. Although their tine were different, they meant the same. This kind of harmony surprised Edward. Tom, the beautiful but aggrieved man who was just mistreated by Edward, rolled his eyes after hearing their replies. These two people were so shameless in front of him the witness, Tom thought. Or in their eyes, he was simply too weak to pose any threat to them, so they chose to neglect him?
