"Why didn't you tell me?" Edward was deeply shocked. Because he had lost his hope for Jonathan long before. So he was accustomed to his indifference and estrangement. He felt it unbelievable when he heard the news.
Why would I bring it up randomly? I wanted to wait for a good time. If it was not for the painful words you said just now, I wouldn't tell you this. Are you okay? Does the wound still hurt?" Thinking of the sight of the scar left by the surgery when Edward was naked just now, Cynthia felt heartbroken. At the same time, she was pretty depressed. Was it really so difficult to be close to him?
"I'm fine. You may go downstairs first. I want to be alone for a while." Edward seemed to be in a trance. It was incredible to hear such news. He needed time to think about it.
Okay. Don't feel trapped. We will pick up Justin at the school later. If you need anything, you can call Mrs. Wu." Cynthia looked at Edward with concern. She heaved a sigh and then slowly walked out the room. She knew Edward had always been emotional. So she understood what he might feel after he discovered this. He must be afflicted with mixed feelings.
Edward threw himself on the big bed. His eyes were empty and his mind wandered. No wonder his father looked very strange today. He had wondered why he suddenly became so friendly to him. It turned out that there was a big secret behind it. But why did he do this? Didn't he need only Cynthia? He acted that way all the time. Why would he suddenly care about him now?
Edward raised his hand and looked at his veins. It was hard for him to believe that what Cynthia said was true even till now. Was it possible that there was another case? Probably it was wrong to think that Jonathan didn't like him, his feelings for Edward was not that strong as to be called love. That man only had learned to love Cynthia in his whole life, and he didn't know how to show his feelings to other family members.
His mind wandered far and wide. It was uncontrollable like an unbridled horse. He had been lying there silently and motionlessly for a long time. It was not until a familiar voice rang in his ears that he came back to his senses.
"Penny for your thoughts? You seemed lost in them." Daisy finally succumbed. She had thought to be a little pretentious and wait for him to apologize first. But when she saw his distressed expression, she completely forgot about her plan to hold onto to her principle. Her voice was full of concern.
"Oh! You came back from work." Edward's tone was flat and his expression was dispirited. He didn't feel cheered up by Daisy's appearance. And it was strange, it was impossible that he would behave so uninterested.
"What happened? You look down." Daisy put her briefcase on the table. She frowned and wondered what had made the honorable Mr. Mu so petulant today.
About my father's blood transfusion, why didn't you tell me when I woke up?" Edward narrowed his eyes and looked at Daisy. His tone was weak. Although he was doubting her, his question was not intimidating and sounded impotent.
So you found out? Sorry, it's my fault that I didn't tell you in time. Because I was very nervous about your injury and I forgot all the other things. I thought to tell you some other day later when the right time comes. But I didn't expect that you'd know it in advance. But what happened? Why do you look so troubled by this?"
Daisy sat beside him on the bed and was confused by his strange reaction. Although she was clear that he would be surprised after he knew this, but she didn't know that he would be so shocked. She was overwhelmed.
Nothing. Why did you come home so early today?" Edward took out his cellphone and looked at the time. It was just past five. Wasn't she supposed to be at the army base now?
"I went to the jail today. So I directly came home after I finished my task." In order to avoid the same thing from happening again, she had to go to the jail by herself. Her purpose this time was to interrogate the criminals and find out the hideout of the remnants of the arms dealers. But in the end it was fruitless. It seemed tha she had change her strategy to deal with them. Some people were so stubborn. They would not confess if they were not tortured by force.
To the jail? Why did you need to go there? Edward suddenly sat up from the bed and naturally put his hand on her shoulder. Daisy suddenly let off a light ouch at his act. Edward was surprised at her reaction and immediately took back his hand. Did he hurt her with his hand? He wondered. On second thought it was strange. Even if he had used so much strength, it was necessary for her to be in great pain? She look anguished.
It's about the gun fight. I have to write a report, so I need to know more about some details. Daisy looked evasive in Edward's eyes. She hope he would ignore the sound she uttered because of the pain. Otherwise, he would be very worried.
