It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 433 I Only Want The Truth (Part Two)

Daisy roughly brushed her hair with her fingers, gently patted her face to sober herself up. She was still dizzy. She had been crying and confessing her love for Edward before she was too exhausted and fell asleep. The doctors and nurses must have heard her, and Daisy felt a little embarrassed to see them now. Therefore, she lowered her head and fixed her eyes on Edward to avoid eye contact with the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how long have I slept? Did he wake up when I was sleeping?"

"Not long, just about three hours. Mr. Mu hasn't woken up yet. But all his signs are stable now. You don't have to worry too much." A man calmly answered her. He looked like a doctor. With his eyes fixed on Daisy all the time, he was actually very excited. He was talking to the most fierce and beautiful colonel in the city ever. She was literally a legend! Were it not for the fact that it wasn't the right time, he would definitely ask Daisy to give him an autograph. His girlfriend was a huge fan of everything to do with the military, and she admired Daisy. When she found out that her boyfriend worked for Tom, who was one of Edward's best friends, she asked him if he could get a chance to get Daisy's autograph.

"Really? Are all the signs really stable? Does that mean he will be okay? I know he will. Why wouldn't he? Anyway, thank you very much, doctor." Daisy cheered up a little. According to the doctor, Edward was doing fine now. Perhaps he would wake up soon. Her heart started beating fast at the thought. She couldn't hold back her excitement.

"You're welcome, Mrs. Mu. Mr. Mu is a man with strong will. We only did what we have to do. It's our job as doctors." Everyone knew that Edward was best friends with Tom, the president of the hospital they worked for. Therefore, none of them would dare slack off; they were doing their utmost to make sure that Edward received the best treatment and care until he was out of danger. They knew this matter was of vital importance. If anything should happen to Edward, there went their careers. They would lose their jobs for not taking better care of Edward. On top of that, once they were fired by Tom, no hospital would dare to hire them, because Tom's name was practically equal to the word 'authoritative' in the medical industry. He wouldn't fire someone without a good reason. And once he did, his decision was final and the person was done for.

"I know you've done a lot. Thank you, all of you." Daisy tried to curl her lips and gave him a weak smile. Her soldiers would secretly call her 'devil instructor' because she was harsh and strict to them during the training. However, apart from that, Daisy was a nice and gentle person. She wasn't arrogant and didn't like to show off her identity as a military officer.

"Who's done a lot, Daisy? Are you talking about me?" Just as the doctor didn't know how to reply, Tom stepped into the ICU. He had spent several hours performing the surgery for Edward, and he was driven back to his office to get some rest by Cynthia just a while ago. He felt refreshed as he had just slept for a short while. Now he looked as gentle and polished as he always did.

"You've done a lot, Tom. I couldn't thank you enough. Did you stay outside the ICU all the time?" Daisy was a little embarrassed. She was supposed to keep Edward company and talk to him. She had no idea when she fell asleep. Perhaps she was exhausted because of the gunfight earlier last night, and then Edward's surgery and postoperative complication. Frightened and stressed, Daisy had felt like she was on the verge of breakdown. Later when she knew Edward would live, it felt like all the strength was drained out of her body and she could finally breathe again. She couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep.

"No, I slept for a while this morning. But uncle Jonathan and auntie Cynthia are outside in the corridor. Mrs. Wu has just brought some lunch here for you, they want you to have some." Tom usually spent a lot of time in his lab doing important research and developing new medicines; he sometimes would forget to eat or sleep. However, his body had gotten used to this way of life, so only a couple hours of sleep would help him restore his energy.

"What? When did they come? Why didn't they wake me up?" Daisy was so eager to greet her in-laws that she stood up abruptly as she spoke. However, because she had maintained a posture for too long, her legs were numb and she could barely stand. Fortunately, Tom reacted quickly and held Daisy, otherwise she would fall flat onto Edward's body. Daisy's face grew pale all of a sudden after she realized what had happened. She wouldn't dare even imagine what would happen if she fell on Edward and caused his wound to re-open. "Thank...thank you, Tom." Daisy stammered as she was still in shock. She immediately turned around to look at Edward and ran her hands over her chest, trying to ease her beating heart. She was scared to death just now.

"It's fine. Let's go. You need to eat something, so you can stay strong and healthy and look after Edward." Tom let go of Daisy and gave Edward a quick checkup. To his relief, everything appeared to be normal. If nothing went wrong and no other adverse reactions kicked in, Edward would wake up on time as he had expected.

"How's he doing? Is he alright? Is there anything wrong?" asked Daisy eagerly. Upon seeing Tom performing checks on Edward, Daisy was frightened again. Until Edward woke up and got better, she might be trapped in a state of endless worry and anxiety. "Everything is fine, and no adverse reactions yet. I'm just doing some routine checks. You don't have to worry. Just try and relax a bit. You will get yourself sick if you are always this intense. What if Edward finally wakes up and you're ill?" Tom frowned worriedly when he noticed how pale and weary Daisy looked.

"Don't worry about me. I've always been healthy. Trust me, I've been through a lot more. I've trained hard in the army. I can handle this." Daisy hastily tried to prove her strength, but she seemed to forget that she had just recovered from a fever not long ago. "I hope so. Otherwise Edward will tear my hospital down if he wakes up and replaces you're ill again." Tom shook his head with a small smile. Daisy seemed cold and indifferent when they first met. But as he got to know her better, he found that she was actually kind and gentle like a little sister next door, who was lovely and lively.

"Is he really that violent?" Daisy asked with a frown. She was a little surprised at Tom's words. Then she remembered that Tom did have a black eye last time she had a fever. It was obvious that someone had hit him in his eye. Could that someone be Edward? Daisy suddenly realized that Edward did have a bad temper if he was really the one who hit Tom. How could he just attack his own best friend over trifles? After all, Tom cured her, and he deserved compliments rather than a punch to the face. Daisy sighed heavily and thought, 'People always say that the good usually die young and the bad will live long. Edward, you're not really a good man. So please don't die. Please just live a long time and stay with me forever.'¶¶¶¶¶¶00
