"Alright, alright, I can't…" replied Tom with resignation, though he had cursed Edward a thousand times in his head. He suddenly understood why Rain would call Edward a greedy capitalist. Now it seemed to him that he was worse than that -- he was literally a devil who kept exploiting him!
"Now cut the crap and get over here now. I'll wait for you at the municipal hospital," requested Edward, who hung up the phone as soon as he finished. He left Tom no chance to turn him down. Edward had always been like this, a domineering person who would never go cap in hand to anyone.
Damn it. Who do you think you are, talking to me like that? You think I jump to the snap of your fingers? I'll tell you what, you've got another thing coming. I'm not going. And there's nothing you can do about it!" Hearing the phone go busy, Tom quickly glanced at the screen. When he saw that Edward had really hung up the phone, he shouted in a fit of pique. But of course, he was only venting his rage behind Edward's back. After that, he could do nothing but throw down the phone and get ready to go. He had to give in since Edward was the boss.
Putting down his phone, Edward grinned gloatingly. If he was not mistaken, Tom must be cursing him right after the call. He knew that he would react in very much the same way as Rain. Neither of them would complain in front of him, but they would definitely protest secretly until they cooled down.
"What are you doing here? I heard you talking to someone just now. Were you on the phone?" Suddenly, Edward heard Daisy's voice coming from behind him. He turned and saw her approaching him with a confused look. Back in the ward, Daisy was caught by surprise when she awakened from her thoughts and found that Edward had disappeared. How could he just leave without uttering a word? Daisy left the ward and finally heard his voice from a distance. Following the sound, she found him when he just finished the call.
"Yes. Just something about work. Ready to go? I think it's about time." Edward didn't tell her that he asked for Tom's help. He walked up to her, took her hand in his, and walked her out of the hospital.
Now, since we saw Hero, you can go back to the office. Mark will drive me to work," said Daisy while putting on her military cap, which added to her dignified bearing. Now that they had come and visited Hero together as he wished, he had no reason to drive her the rest of the way, she thought to herself.
"Well then, something just came up and I need to take care of it ASAP, Take care of yourself, okay?" Edward didn't insist, not because they had seen Hero together, but because he needed to stay here and wait for Tom. Tom was his last hope, if he failed to save Hero, then there was nothing else Edward could do to save him.
"Don't worry. Call me if anything turns up. I'm taking the soldiers out for field training later, so I might not be back till late tonight," said Daisy, looking at her watch. It was near the end of the year, so they had to drill and prepare for all kinds of inspection that came one after another. Today's field training had been scheduled in advance. Originally, Daisy planned to wait until Kevin was back. But now it seemed that time was short and they had to speed up the training.
Training again? Can you make it? You didn't sleep much last night," asked Edward with a concerned look on his face. Had he known that there would be field training today, he would have resisted the sex urge and let her have enough rest last night. It turned out that she had only slept for no more than four hours. Edward was afraid that she would not be able to stand the tough training.
"Rest assured, it is those soldiers who have to take part in the training, not me. All I have to do is to go with and supervise them." Daisy couldn't help but burst into laughter seeing the worry on his face, which made his handsome face quite funny and cute. She again reached out for it, and pinched it softly. She had really grown addicted to interacting with him in this way because of his tender skin.
"Alright, don't push yourself too hard. Hurry up, you are running out of time." But before he let go of her, he couldn't help but kiss her one more time on the forehead. If she was not in uniform, and if he did not have to help maintain the military dignity in public, he would certainly give her a french kiss. However, his peck was enough to make our colonel blush. Lowering her head, she quickly got in Mark's car and sped away to the army base.
Edward didn't head to his car until her military vehicle was out of sight. But instead of leaving, he just sat there quietly, which left Luke confused. Luke was following him, of course. But Luke asked no questions, instead, he watched and waited. It seemed to him that Edward was waiting for someone, but he couldn't say who that might be. He kept wondering until he saw Tom's car pulling in more than twenty minutes later.
Tom should feel privileged that Edward was willing to wait for him, because few people enjoyed this kind of honor. And for those honored ones, this would not happen every day.
"What took you so long, Mr. Turtle? Did you come crawling on your hands and knees?" complained Edward. When he saw Tom arrive, he got out of the car immediately. At the same time, Tom had also opened his door.
"Save it! You know how fast I was driving? This place is so far away from my home, not to mention that I had to drive during the morning rush hour. You really should thank me for how quickly I got here despite all that!" exclaimed Tom, glaring at Edward. 'So now you finally know how annoying it is to wait for others, huh? This is what you get for keeping people waiting for so long! Let's see you do it again!' he thought to himself.
"Be quick! No more excuses," urged Edward. This was the way Edward had always been. While he was free to make demands, he would never let others do the same to him.
I was only explaining myself! Or do you think I should just happily accept it when you call me Mr. Turtle? shouted Tom while trying to catch up with Edward. They walked into the hospital, teasing each other. And their voice somewhat broken the utter silence of this place all of a sudden.
So why do they call you a miracle working doctor? Did you get this title honestly? I think its stupid to take every word I say so personally. Squinting at him, Edward started to make fun of his medical skills.
Fine. I will just go if Mr. Mu has no faith in me. You can go and fine a real miracle working doctor if you can! Tom turned on his heel at Edward's words, and seemed to be wearing a pained expression. This was the last straw.
