"Look at how you are bleeding. The cut must be deep. It can't be a small one." Leena sniffled. Then she bent over, ripped the lining of her skirt, and bandaged Daisy's cut with it, hands trembling. Although it didn't stop the bleeding, it slowed down the flow of the blood.
"Leena, thank you. Now I get why they all spoil you. You're such a sweet girl." Daisy reached out her other hand and stroked Leena's hair. Who wouldn't love such a kind and thoughtful girl? If only Kevin could see that and forget the past.
Sis Daisy, don't make fun of me. Tom said he was near. Why is it taking him so long to get here?" Leena wasn't cheered up by Daisy's praise. She looked at the traffic on the street anxiously.
Leena, relax. You're too intense. I am afraid you'll faint before I do." Daisy patted her shoulder. With the torn skirt on, Leena looked embarrassed. As a carefree girl, this kind of situation was new to her.
"Here comes Tom. Tom, here!" Leena waved at a Maybach and finally smiled.
When Tom got Leena's call, he had just finished a seminar. When he heard that it was Daisy who got injured, he immediately rushed over without eating anything. He didn't want any delays when it came to Daisy. When Leena called, she was only crying. So, all Tom could hear was her mumble. Fortunately, Tom had been very close to where they were. So he drove there as fast as he could.
Daisy, are you okay?" Seeing Daisy standing, Tom was relieved that the injury wasn't severe. At the sight of Leena, he took off his coat, tossed it to her, and said, "Wear it around your waist."
Leena bit her lip and did as told. She assumed that Tom must have noticed what was wrong with her skirt.
"It's nothing serious. Just a small cut from a dagger. I'm sorry to trouble you at such late hours. Leena shouldn't have made a fuss about this." Although Tom and Edward were good friends, Daisy felt bad about getting free treatments from him.
Don't mention it. Get in the car so that I can have a close look at the cut." Tom got his medical kit from the trunk. Then he opened the back door to let Daisy in. Leena sat in the passenger seat.
"It just needs a bandage. It's not as serious as it looks." Daisy extended her hand. The lining of the skirt was already soaked in blood. It was horrible to see.
"It's not looking good. I'll stop the bleeding for now but you must go to the hospital and get stitches." Tom's forehead furrowed as he opened the lining. The look in his eyes was complicated. He knew from Rain that Edward was abroad on a business trip. Once again, Daisy was hurt when he wasn't around. Edward treasured his wife like his own life. Whoever did this to Daisy was going to pay.
"You hear that? I told you it was bad." Leena was relieved to have Tom around. To her, Tom was omnipotent.
Leena, you drive. To the hospital," Tom said to Leena as he bandaged the cut, looking thoughtful. "Okay. No problem." Leena sat behind the wheel quickly. She started the car and drove toward Tom's hospital.
As soon as they got to the hospital, Tom began to hustle and bustle. The cut was wide. Daisy got a dozen stitches for it.
Daisy, it's all done. Please don't get the wound wet until a scab forms." Tom smiled gracefully.
Thank you, Tom! I've put you into so many troubles." Daisy smiled back. She had become much warmer than before.
"We're friends, so don't mention it. If it was Edward, I would accept his thankful words. But that's impossible. I just wish he could stop playing tricks on me." Tom finished his words with a shiver, as if Edward was standing next to him with an evil smile on his face.
"Tom, you're speaking evil of Edward in front of Daisy. I'll tell him about it and you'll be in trouble." Leena smiled complacently and raised her brows at Tom.
Go ahead, but don't count on me to treat you if you get injured next time." Tom flicked her head and put his medical kit away.
"Okay, okay. I won't. I'm sorry. Tom, can you drive Daisy home? My car is still parked at Westin Western Restaurant. I have to go get it." Hearing Tom's words, Leena gave in. She was afraid of needles and Tom was one of the best doctors in the city. It would be her loss to offend him.
Don't bother. I can take a cab. It will spare us all some trouble," Daisy said in a hurry. She didn't want to take up much of Tom's time. Besides, she wanted to keep her injury from her family. If Tom drove her home, it would alarm her family and worry them.
Daisy, come on. If Edward knows that I let you go home alone in a cab, he will kill me. So it will be in my best interest to drive you both home. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm always the one getting bullied." Sandwiched between Edward who loved his wife and Duke who spoilt his sister, Tom dared to offend neither of them.
Half an hour later, the Maybach arrived at the Mu's villa. It was late in the night, so Tom and Leena left after Daisy got out of the car. It was exactly what Daisy wanted. Now, she wouldn't have to worry about alarming her family anymore. Nonetheless, when Daisy walked into the living room. Jonathan, Cynthia, and Justin were all sitting there, waiting for her.
"What happened? Why are you hurt again?" Cynthia looked at Daisy's hand, which was thickly bandaged in gauze. She was terribly worried.
Mom, were you on a mission today?" Justin raised his mom's hand and blew on it gently, as if it would make the pain go away.
"No. Something happened. The cut is not deep. Tom has already taken care of it. So no need to worry about it." Daisy looked at Cynthia apologetically and stole a glance at Jonathan. Then her gaze fell on Justin's face. She had been injured a lot lately. It worried her family badly. She felt sorry about that.
It's late. Let her go upstairs, freshen up, and get some rest," Jonathan said. He could see that Daisy was tired. And she looked like a mess after the fight. She could use a good night's sleep to relax herself. Hearing Jonathan's words, she looked at him gratefully.
Right, right. I'm too worried to think about that. Justin, go upstairs with your mom. I'll asked Mrs. Wu to make some soup for her. She's too thin. And now she has lost so much blood. Poor kid!
Cynthia worried a lot, just like every other parent would. Seeing Daisy's injury, she started to bustle around. Yet, Daisy was faced with a deilemma. After Daisy's last injury, Cynthia had made her a lot of soup to help her recover. Daisy was still having that soup hangover to this day. Not again, she thought!
