"Sure. Who is injured?" Luke was getting nervous upon hearing Edward's words. He started the car and drove towards the hotel.
"Well, Daisy hurt her feet." Edward briefly explained the situation and then hung up the phone. He stepped on the accelerator and left the place, where he experienced both happiness and panic.
Daisy bit her lower lip, lost in thought. She had been too impulsive in the past few days. Was it because she had someone to rely on? She had been a calm and reasonable person all her life. But now she had allowed herself to be a wilful person.
"Hey, Daisy! What are you thinking about?" Edward paid attention to her even while driving. He was afraid that she hadn't forgiven him yet.
"I have changed a lot recently. I have become more wilful and acted like a spoilt child. I feel a bit uneasy about it."
Daisy sighed. People are never satisfied. In the past, she only wanted to have him by her side, but now, she wanted more.
"I know. You have become more emotional. I don't think it's a bad thing. On the contrary, you are more real to me. You are no more a ghost wrapped in a cold skin."
Edward didn't expect Daisy to have so many thoughts after he lost his temper on her. He felt guilty, and became more aware of the saying that females are fickle by nature.
Bah! I'm not dead yet. I'm not a ghost." Daisy rolled her eyes at him, feeling more relieved. When they reached the Jasmine Fragrance Hotel, they found Luke waiting at the entrance. On seeing the familiar license plate number, he immediately trotted towards the car.
"Mr. Mu, the doctor is waiting for you. Is Mrs. Mu seriously injured?" Luke asked anxiously when Edward got off the car.
"Well, she sprained her ankle. Ask the doctor to come over to my room and tell him about the condition." It would be better if Tom was here. Edward was worried that Daisy would be in great pain during the treatment.
Got it. I'm going to tell him right away." Luke turned around and walked towards the hotel. Edward was a little amused by his swiftness. He paused for a while, and then opened the car door for Daisy.
"I'll walk it through myself." Daisy said in a light voice. There were too many people around, and she might get embarrassed to be carried by him.
No! I can't agree with you on this." Before she could say anything, he bent down and picked her up. He closed the door with his foot as if it was just another ordinary car and not some luxurious car worthy of tens of millions of dollars. He walked towards the entrance with her in his arms.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman — they were a perfect match. People stared at them enviously. Daisy was a little embarrassed and buried her face into Edward's arms. She no longer wanted to escape from him.
"Oh my god! It's a very nasty wound." The doctor grumbled as he saw the sand and pebbles embedded in the soles of Daisy's feet. But when he saw Edward's gloomy face, he shut his mouth up and said no more.
"Mrs. Mu, I will remove the pebbles with tweezers first and then wash the sand off with hydrogen peroxide. I know it's going to be painful. Do you think you can stand it?" The doctor raised his head and asked Daisy.
"It's not a big deal. You can do it now." Daisy answered indifferently. It was just a minor wound for her. When she was carrying out a commission in a remote area before, she had undergone several serious injuries. There were no doctors or hospitals there and she had to deal with the wounds all by herself at that time. Therefore, she didn't think it was a big deal now.
Doctor, aren't you going to use any anesthetic?" Edward asked nervously as he was very worried about her after hearing that it was going to be painful.
"Mr. Mu..." The doctor didn't know what to say. He didn't think the anesthetic was necessary in such circumstances. The pain was totally bearable. Even normal people could bear the pain, let alone Mrs. Mu, who was a soldier. So the doctor believed that she would be fine with the pain.
Doctor, don't listen to him. Just do as you said before," Daisy demanded. She knew Edward was so nervous as to put forward such a ridiculous request.
Well, I'm removing the pebbles now. If you can't stand the pain, please let me now." The doctor took out the tweezers to remove the pebbles from Daisy's feet. He was extremely careful. Edward was fixing his eyes on him. If anything went wrong, he would not be able to work with FX International Group anymore. He didn't want to lose such a well-paid job. Daisy raised her head and looked at Edward. The nervous look on his face distracted her. It indeed hurt a bit, but she could totally bear it. She was a little worried that the doctor would wash the sand off with hydrogen peroxide. That would really hurt.
Time went by slowly. Edward became more and more nervous. He took a paper towel to wipe off the sweat from her forehead.
"Mrs. Mu, I'm going to wash off the sand now. It will hurt, but the sand must be removed. Otherwise, the wound might get inflamed." Daisy didn't cry during the whole process. The doctor had a completely new appraisal of her and believed that she could stand the pain caused by hydrogen peroxide.
"Got it." Although Daisy was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but gasp in pain when the doctor poured hydrogen peroxide onto her foot. She came out in cold sweat, but she clenched her teeth without crying. Edward's heart broke on seeing her reaction. He pressed her head into his arms, in an attempt to relieve her pain. He didn't expect that Daisy would be in danger in the future because of this wound.
Does it hurt? Doctor, why didn't you use other medicines? Why did you have to use hydrogen peroxide?" Edward missed Tom so much at this moment. He believed that Tom would have used a better solution so that Daisy wouldn't have to suffer like this.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mu. Hydrogen peroxide is the most efficient method. Now I'm going to apply medicine to her sprained ankle. It will also hurt. Please calm down." The doctor trembled with fear when Edward cast a stern glance at him, but he gathered some courage to tell him about his next move.
Don't worry. Just ignore him. I don't think it hurts that much." Daisy comforted the doctor. Her clothes were wet because of the pain, but she didn't cry at all. She was not weak like normal females; instead, she was a tough soldier.
It indeed hurt in the following process. But Daisy felt much relieved as it was nothing compared to the pain caused by hydrogen peroxide. She hadn't cried from the beginning to the end. Edward and the doctor were both impressed.
The journey in the K City ended early because Daisy got hurt. On the way back, Edward was lost in his thoughts. Luke served as their driver, and Edward's luxurious Lamborghini was parked in the K City.
Edward had seen countless feminine and delicate women before, so he believed that all women were feminine and delicate. However, since he was with Daisy now, he realized how narrow-minded he had been. Daisy was so tough and strong. She completely changed Edward's perspective of women.
You tried to tell me a story last night. Are you going to tell me now?" Daisy asked as she stared out of the window and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Suddenly, she was interested in the story. Maybe that was because she had left the city, or maybe because she now looked at things with a broader perspective. She felt she would now be able to accept any news from Edward.
How about another day? I will tell you the story in detail then." Edward rubbed her hair and gave a bitter smile. He wanted to smile to her, but she didn't even turn to him. He laughed at himself and believed that she wasn't eager to know the story. She just mentioned it casually. Judging from her behavior right now, Edward could tell that she didn't take it seriously. He didn't know what she was thinking. Daisy seemed like a wonderful book, enticing him to read and taste carefully.
Okay. You can tell me the story whenever you want. I believe it must be a good story. I'm looking forward to it.
Daisy turned to Edward and looked at him in the eye as if she could tell there was a secret story deep in his mind.
Sure! It is a beautiful story, but it's just a crush in the youth. Dont be so nervous.
Edward pulled Daisy into his arms and kissed her hair affectionately. He asked himself why he still remembered that little girl after so many years. It was as if time had stopped at that moment he saw her. Many years had passed, and that little girl must have been someone's wife now. Even if he met her in the street, he might not be able to recognise her.
