"No. I'm really tired. I just want to sleep." For some reason, Daisy suddenly felt very afraid of hearing him talk about the girl who had always been in his heart. So she refused to listen to anything connected to her subconsciously. Because the most terrifying thing between lovers was comparison. And she had always been somewhat unsure of herself. So she was worried that she wouldn't be able to compete with the beautiful girl in his heart.
"You really don't want to know the story? It might be a very sweet love story!" Edward raised one of his eyebrows, trying to get her interested.
"Maybe some other time! When I really want to hear it." Upon hearing his words, Daisy's heart started beating a lot faster. She didn't dare to listen to his words anymore, so she just covered her ears to show that she really didn't want to hear it.
"Then okay! It's really late. Let's have a nice sleep. And tomorrow I will take you out and show you around town, to see the gorgeous scenery of this city." Edward reached out and touched her hair, feeling that it was almost dry. He stopped what he was doing, but still went on to get a hair drier and blowed her hair for a while. He never really liked men doing such things for women in general however after he met this little woman, he was completely smitten.
Seeing that he wasn't planning on talking, Daisy breathed a sigh of relief secretly. That was when she suddenly realized that even though they had been through death together, she still couldn't believe she was the only woman he wanted for life. With a slight stimulation, she would quickly arm herself and hide, to protect herself from getting hurt. Perhaps, it was because she had been hurt so many times that she was so reluctant to get herself hurt again.
The night was mostly silent. It wouldn't change for someone's sleeplessness, nor stay for someone's sorrow. The dawn still came as usual, and the sun still rose in the east, not waiting for anyone's appreciation.
Because Edward slept too late last night, he didn't wake up at daybreak and missed his beautiful wish to watch sunrise with Daisy. His eyes fluttered open until about noon. Rubbing the painful area between his eyebrows, a sudden realization woke him from his slumber. He didn't see Daisy around. He quickly jumped up from the bed and went to the bathroom without even putting on his shoes. But the bathroom was empty and quiet, he couldn't find Daisy. He had a bad feeling about it. Edward was afraid that she was still bothered by what happened last night. So he hurriedly ran to Luke's room without changing his clothes.
"Mr. Mu, you are finally up." As soon as Luke saw Edward, he quickly put down the newspaper in his hands and stood up from the sofa.
"Yeah! Have you seen Daisy?" Edward ran his hand through his messy hair, and asked vexedly.
"Yes, Mrs. Mu went out very early. She said that she wanted to catch some fresh air and see if the sunrise here in the K City was any different from that in the S City. So she told me not to bother you.
She would be back soon." Luke seldom saw Edward this messy, so he knew that he must be very worried. So, he told him everything he knew.
"She went all by herself. How did I not notice it at all?" Edward frowned to himself, feeling very frustrated. He was thinking that he could accompany her. But he didn't expect that he wouldn't even notice her leaving.
"Mrs. Mu said that she was just going out for a walk and you didn't have to worry about her." Luke repeated Daisy's words again. Seeing Edward this anxious, made him worried too. But knowing that she was not some ordinary weak little girl, he felt relieved.
"Did she take the car? And did she carry some cash with her?" This was what Edward was worried about. Since they came here in a hurry, Daisy didn't have the chance to bring any cash with her. What if she was in trouble?
"No, she went by foot, and I don't think she has any cash with her." Luke felt pissed at himself. He cursed himself under his breath. How could he completely forget such an important thing? He was now anxious too.
What? Then I assumed she didn't eat anything either? After hearing this, Edward felt more and more guilty. He had a feeling that he failed as a husband, for he didn't even realise when his own wife went out of the room.
I'm afraid so, because she left quite early, just past six o clock. How about this! I take the car and drive around the city to see if I can find her. The more questions Edward asked, the more guilty Luke felt of this matter. Even if he started feeling anxious now.
Okay! We will spilt up to look for her. She's not like herself now, she must have forgotten that she doesn't have any cash on her. Whoever finds her first will contact the other via car phone. Edward said these words while walking up to change his clothes. In his mind, Daisy was not the almighty Colonel right now, she was just his wife. That was why he got so anxious on her going out all by herself.
