It'll Come Naturally -
Chapter 421 Post-operative Complication (Part One)
"Good day." Rain waved and turned away while bidding goodbye. He left behind a long, lonely and enchanting shadow. "This guy loves pretending to be cool. I can't stand it." Tom said and rolled his eyes as he saw Rain behaving like a punk.
"He can play to his strengths, right? Maybe that's his style." Daisy said and smiled softly. She admired Rain's personality. It felt honest and real to her. And she thought that his personality was the reason why people liked to get close to him.
"I couldn't agree more but at the same time he is really pretentious. I bet all his bad habits have derived from being spoiled by women." Tom said and smiled, putting away the pill bottles on the seat.
"Do you mean he has a lot of girlfriends?" Daisy asked while frowning. Earlier, she never paid attention to anyone but Edward. Therefore, she didn't know much about Rain.
"Not exactly. I can only say that Rain is quite the ladies man. Daisy, why are you suddenly interested in this?" Tom asked and looked at her suspiciously, wondering if she's trying to dig out something regarding Edward's past affairs!
"Oh! No reason. I was just asking." Daisy said with cloudy eyes. It was not her style to pry into other's personal business. She just wanted to replace the real reason behind why Anna left. She felt a little awkward when Tom questioned her intentions in this way. "Daisy, forget it. I think you should go to my office and have some rest! I'll take care of everything here. Besides, doctors are looking after him, right? Everything will be fine."
Tom suggested. On observing Daisy's expression of fatigue, he presumed Daisy must have spent a lot of energy in the fight. As if that was not enough, now she was suffering from fear because of Edward's gunshot wound.
"No, thanks. I wanna be here with him, so he would know that I'm worried about him and I need him very much. Perhaps then he would wake up from his sleep." Daisy said and stood up, leaning against the wall tiredly. Her fingertips slightly scratched the glass and her eyes were filled with a sense of deep attachment.
This was the first time that she had admitted her love for Edward in front of other people. After this accident she no longer wanted to hide her expression of love towards him. Love was love. If she kept pretending, it would be very hypocritical for a hot-blooded soldier with iron bones.
"Daisy, can you tell me how you have managed to love Edward for such a long time, without any regrets and thought of giving up." Now that she had decided not to take rest, Tom tried to distract her! At least she wouldn't be too anxious. He couldn't promise that Edward would wake up in 12 hours, because that depended on his mind power. Edward had lost too much blood on the way to the hospital. He would be really lucky if he survived, but he might suffer some serious complications after the surgery. Tom couldn't tell Daisy about this, fearing that she wouldn't be able to accept it.
"Without any regrets? Tom, to tell you the truth, I am not as great as you think. I blamed and regretted, but I never hated him. I blamed myself for falling in love with him at the first sight. I regretted choosing him as the only one for me. I often asked myself, isn't there anyone else whom I could love? And even though I have gone through so much, I still haven't found the answer yet."
Daisy said and laughed at herself. All her blame was to herself. She took Edward as her one and only and she didn't want to blame him for anything.
"Daisy, I'd like to thank you on his behalf! Thank you for your tenacity, and also for not giving up. Only you can make him behave like a normal man."
Tom frowned and said sincerely. His gaze was fixed on Daisy's intense face.
"Why?" Daisy asked with her head leaned on one side. She didn't understand why Tom was suddenly so emotional. They had met just a few times. They didn't even know each other that well.
"You might have noticed that we are the kind of people who lack love and emotions. We, especially Edward and Rain, get together for seeking love from each other. They both lacked family's love when they were little, so they chose to live a dissolute life. Edward has been saved since you showed up in his life."
Tom said and sighed, completely lost in his emotion. Anyone would be moved by the morose look on his face.
"Tom, I also need to thank you guys. Thank you all for your sincere friendship with Edward, which allows him to feel the love he has never gotten from his family. Actually, in his world, all of you are the most valuable spiritual wealth."
This was Daisy. She was a special woman who was reasonable and not self-conceited. She never demanded credit for herself, neither did she ignore what others had done. She always kept other's needs before her own.
"No. He needs you. We could never walk into his heart, but his heart is open to you. That's the difference between you and us." Tom said and pursed his lips. His eyes looked deep and obscure, there was no end to their depth.
"Is that so? I thought he was just attracted to my special identity! I wonder if I didn't show up, could anyone else be his special someone?"
Her heart was getting torn with this thought, Daisy slowly closed her tired eyes. She couldn't explain the sudden feeling of bitterness.
"You're wrong. He fell in love with you because it was you. No matter how special other women are, they can't attract his attention. You can see how important you are to him by the fact that he took a bullet for you. It's known that Edward is indifferent to women, but for you, he even risked his life. You can see how much he loves you."
Tom said and frowned, with his dark eyes staring at Daisy. It seemed like he could look into her heart and put all the things into perspective.
"Tom, do you think I'm too indifferent and apathetic? He has done so much for me, but I am still suspicious about his love."
Daisy said while smoothing her hair with her fingers. The strain between her eyebrows was showing her frustration and powerlessness, yet she was looking lovely and charming.
"Daisy, I think I understand your feelings. After all, he has a past. But let me assure you it was just superficial. I bet you know better than me, what kind of man he really is."00000
