"Did Tom tell you that Hero came out of his coma?" Daisy pursed her lips and stared at Edward with deep affection. In fact, she really didn't think that this man could be so generous and open-minded. From this matter, she had learned more about him and fallen even more deeply in love with him.
Yes, he did. But I don't really want to visit him. I just want to go to the hospital with you." Edward was afraid that Daisy made a perfunctory promise, so he had to go personally.
Well, don't bother. I'll go to the hospital to apply medicine as I promised." Daisy's lips were set in a pout of annoyance as Edward didn't trust her.
"I don't trust you. You always lie to me." Edward took out the medicine cabinet. She was often injured some time ago, so there was a lot of medicine.
"I didn't want to hurt myself. It was just an accident. Do you know what that means? It means that it wasn't something I could have avoided." Daisy didn't know why she felt so sweet to see Edward angry at her injury. This should be the feeling of being cared for, and she liked it very much.
"Tell me about it. What kind of accident could seriously hurt the mighty colonel? Lie down." Edward looked grim at the moment he saw her injury. The man's words dripped with venom.
Maybe we'll hear it on the news. So during a training exercise, soldiers training in the wilderness happened on a major drug deal going down. The amount of drugs found was astounding. No one escaped, and none of the soldiers were killed or injured. Don't you think this news is very encouraging?" One eyebrow cocked, Daisy lay down as Edward talked. She didn't know if she would hear his roar or words of gentle comfort, but she thought that it was very likely that it would be the latter.
Don't tell me that you went into the woods alone for survival training. There must have been hundreds of drug smugglers, right? You had so many soldiers, but they somehow couldn't beat the drug smugglers. You had to join the fight personally, so you were seriously hurt." The man glared at Daisy, gnashing his teeth. He applied medicine on Daisy's wounds, with unnecessary roughness. As Daisy expected, he was really burning in a frenzy of rage.
"Ouch! It hurts! Be gentle! There weren't hundreds of thugs. Just a dozen. Also, my soldiers are capable. They were training at that time. I didn't want to interrupt their training. Plus, they were tired, so I didn't ask them to join the fight." Daisy could have downed a dozen goons easily. The problem was that they all had guns. But Daisy was kind to them, so she didn't fight ruthlessly. Now she regretted it. She shouldn't have held back. The cold-blooded thugs were out for blood, and she got hurt.
"You have to feel pain to learn a lesson. The soldiers were training, but Mark followed you, didn't he?" As Daisy screamed out in pain, Edward started applying the medicine in a much gentler way, despite his angry words.
"We acted separately. Mark's team didn't actually run into those guys. I met them alone. He had all the other soldiers, so I called for backup immediately. Unfortunately, I was hurt before they arrived. I need more training. Then I won't be hurt so easily next time." Daisy muttered to herself, neglecting Edward who had turned livid with rage.
"Forget it. Be careful next time. I know it hurts." Edward sighed. Other women were worried about their husbands, but he had to worry about his wife every day. 'I know how to pick a wife,' he thought.
"Are you angry?" Suddenly, Daisy turned around and stood up. Edward had no time to respond and change his facing. The hand that he was applying medicine with hit her wound hard. It was so painful that she cried, "Aaagh! It's killing me! You're doing this on purpose, right?" Tears in her eyes, Daisy pitifully blamed Edward.
"Let me see. You shouldn't have moved so suddenly." Edward's eyebrows knitted in a frown. Originally, there was only a minor bruise. Now, the wound was scratched again by his nails and oozed blood.
"Asshole! You should have pulled your hand away." Daisy pouted and blamed Edward. In fact, compared with the injuries she suffered before, it was really not so serious, but she became squeamish in front of him. She used to flaunt her superiority and strive to outshine others, but now she had learned to act in a pettishly charming manner.
"Sorry. It's my fault. I should have figured out what you would do and pulled my hand away. Then I could have reacted in time when you got up." Looking like a wounded puppy, Daisy bowed her head. Edward felt guilty, and tried his best to soothe her.
"I like how you admit your mistakes. Apology accepted." Daisy gave Edward a sly grin and breathed a sigh of relief. The subject was finally changed. She was just worried that he would make a fuss about her injury. Now she was excited, since she decided to talk about other things entirely.
"Thank you, Colonel Ouyang." Edward smiled wickedly. In fact, he knew what Daisy was thinking about. However, he didn't want to say it out loud. All he wanted to see was Daisy's smiling face. Although he was angry that Daisy risked her life in the fight with drug traffickers, she had been hurt, so he decided not to make even more waves. She needed comforting words, not caustic ones. Anyway, Daisy was his wife, and he could love her however he liked.
"Is it done?" Seeing Edward's mischievous smile, Daisy wasn't excited anymore. She knew that he saw through her, so she was deflated.
"Yes. Get some sleep. I'll wake you up later." The wounds on Daisy's body banished all thoughts of sleep from Edward. 'No rest for me any more,' he thought.
"OK. Wake me up before 8 o'clock." Daisy hadn't had sleep in 36 hours, so she was really sleepy. She lay back on the bed again and closed her eyes lazily.
"I will. Sleep tight." Covering her with the blanket, Edward kissed her on the lips before he walked into the washroom.
Mr. Mu, why are you so early today?" After Edward freshened up, he went to the gym. Luke was very surprised to see him. He usually got up at about eight o'clock, so he rarely came to exercise at this time.
"Well, a noise woke me up, and I couldn't get back to sleep. Wow, what a wonderful eight-pack abdominal muscle. What do girls call it? The name escapes me at the moment." Edward frowned.
"Chocolate abs?" Luke ventured, referring to abdominal muscles that looked like the divided parts of a chocolate bar. Luke's face reddened with embarrassment. In fact, Edward was extremely well-proportioned, but for the sake of beauty, he didn't have abs. However, his V-taper looked good.
"Well, girls also like chocolate. So you should have no problem finding a girl with those abs." Edward looked at Luke with a joking smile. Luke was honest, but not exactly the most interesting guy, and he didn't really have a way with words. He was also a good man, but for some reason never seemed to be able to get a girlfriend. Maybe his grim appearance scared them away.
"Mr. Mu, don't make fun of me. Girls are trouble. I don't even want to get close to them." Luke had witnessed too many examples, so he didn't want to waste his life digging himself out of whatever troubles a girl could mire him in. Besides, all he wanted was to protect Edward. He didn't want any girl to hinder him.
