It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1260 You're Just Tired (Part Three)

"Wait! Where are you going?" repeated Daisy, standing in front of them and blocking their way. Until Leena was clearly out of the danger zone, she didn't want any other disturbances created.

"We're going to drag the culprit in and deal with her," Rain blurted out. He was too furious and excited to notice that Edward kept shooting him warning glances.

"Whom are you guys referring to?" Both Daisy and Kevin arrived at the hospital later and didn't know who put his wife into the critical condition she was in.

"For this, you must ask Edward!" Rain met Edward's angry stare and immediately realized that he was being stupid by telling Daisy such things. Daisy, beyond doubt, would stop them from bringing Louisa to justice.

"Mr. Edward Mu, I don't believe that you're hiding it from me," said Daisy, raising her eyebrows. Strict discipline was imposed on soldiers, which meant that they couldn't deal with things using questionable means. Under all circumstances, she would try to prevent them from lynching Louisa. Being court-martialed was the last thing she wanted. Besides, tolerating this kind of wrongdoing would make her an accomplice. More than that, she was afraid that Kevin's name would get dragged in the mud if Louisa was hurt. After all, both she and Kevin were special and they couldn't talk their way out of this.

"Damn! Listen to me. It's rumored that it's the commander's daughter who pushed Leena into the swimming pool. Now, she's being held by Luke in the FX International Group building." Belinda was well aware of the potentially severe consequences of this. So, she didn't dare to keep their scheme from Daisy. Imprisoning Louisa, they had already broken the law.

"What? It's madness. Release Louisa right now," Daisy demanded. Her brow furrowed in disgust. What a world of madness! Didn't they know the possible consequences which their recklessness might lead to? If Louisa really committed a crime, she surely would be punished according to the law. It was not their place to judge and decide her punishment.

"Senior colonel, do you have any idea of what you're talking about? Release her? You must be kidding. Leena's still lying in bed, possibly dying. How can you make such an order?" Edward and Daisy exchanged furious glances. Leena was still struggling for life, and how could the culprit walk free after all this? Daisy could turn a blind eye to this, but Edward couldn't. He was determined to seek justice for Leena.

"I clearly know what I'm doing right now. But your behaviors confuse me. We're living in a society under the rule of law. If everything gets out of control, what a chaotic world it would be. Do you really want your children to be born and grow up in such a mad world?" Daisy protested in a cold and serious tone. Reason told her that illegal detention of a civilian, already taking directly from the word "illegal", was terribly wrong. She wouldn't allow them to deliberately and knowingly break the law.

"Aha! Sometimes the justice system fails to treat the victims fairly," Edward retorted angrily. Gritting his teeth, Edward knew deep down that it would be decided and pronounced in court as an accident if Leena really died of drowning. And a shrewd attorney would help Louisa out of it effortlessly.

"It's your prejudice playing with your mind. Luke, I order you to release Louisa right now. Stay away from this farce if your master can't think straight." Daisy gave Luke a hard stare. She still stayed calm and reasonable even though Louisa's actions were definitely unforgivable.

"Luke, don't do that." Edward tilted his chin proudly. He refused to give in to Daisy for the first time. Things changed. He couldn't bear to see his beloved sister suffer while standing around and doing nothing.

"Mr. Mu, please show mercy. I'll take the responsibility for whatever she has done," said Kevin imploringly. Kevin was fuming with indignation. His warning had no effects, and failed to prevent Louisa from losing control.

"Haha! Don't make a fool of yourself. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Louisa is one of your jealous lovers." Edward fully vented out his feelings in a violent outburst. Kevin had been the bane of Leena's disaster. The very man who should have protected Leena nearly killed her. "Keep quiet and quit arguing. You're standing in a hospital and the patients here need rest." Tom rarely dared speak to Edward in this brave way. However, he was extremely worried about Leena's conditions, while Louisa's situation didn't concern him.

"Look here. Since Louisa is the daughter of the commander, please let him be the judge of his own child. I trust him and believe that he'll be fair and impartial," promised Daisy. Then, Daisy picked up her mobile phone to call the commander. She knew she could do nothing to stop them, but she really needed them to calm down. They were well-educated civilians, and not some gangsters so they should do things by the book.

"You do trust her. Fine, I will let her go, but not tonight. She has to pay the price of hurting Leena." Edward wasn't going to give in. No matter what, he had to make that woman suffer.

"Ok, I can promise you that. But you must keep her alive, and not hurt her one bit. Otherwise, it would get quite ugly." Daisy knew Edward too well. He always paid his debt. The use of torture on the imprisoned Louisa was inevitable. Daisy didn't care whether Louisa was to be flogged or not, as long as she was alive, it was fine. She also felt Louisa's arrogance and self-will repulsive.

"I will keep her alive and conscious all the time so that she can have a taste of those gruesome tortures and beg for mercy." Edward took no effort in hiding his true thoughts. He had learnt a thousand methods of torturing a man without killing him. "Don't overdo it. Even though you don't mind pissing off the commander, please put me and Kevin in your mind." Daisy pursed her lips and wondered whether she had followed a bad example. Otherwise, why would she choose to turn a blind eye to these things that she considered terribly wrong?
