It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 460 A Burnt Child Dreads The Fire (Part One)

day. It seemed to be a daily chore and a necessity. Edward loved her a lot. It was impossible for him to blame her from his heart.

"Don't worry! He won't blame you. Don't cry, okay? Or else you'll look messy." Tom wiped the tears on her cheek with his fingertips. Anyone could get mad at this little girl except Edward. Before Daisy and Justin stepped into his life, Edward had doted on her every single "Really? He won't be disappointed with me? Can you promise that?" Leena sniffed. She was not sure whether Tom was telling the truth or not. She was so concerned about this that she even ignored the word "messy".

"Yes, I promise you. Let's go! I'll drive you home." Tom smiled and lightly pinched her tiny nose. Her little nose had turned red because she had been crying. Leena looked really innocent. She was mischievous and guileful yet kind-hearted. That was why she was the apple of everyone's eye. Everyone loved her.

"Yes! Thank you, Tom." Leena immediately smiled through her tears as she felt comforted by Tom's promise. She was not the typical crying type. However, when she ran out today, she failed to hold back her tears because tons of emotions had emerged in her mind all of a sudden.

Kevin must have ignored her again! Otherwise, he would have called her by now. But the truth was that she didn't get any phone calls from him. Leena felt miserable, but she comforted herself somehow. After all, they had married each other without love, so it made sense that he didn't bother to call and ask about her whereabouts!

Soon they arrived at Leena's luxurious apartment. Leena said goodbye to Tom and then walked home. She felt that she was lacking courage to go home. So she slowed down. But no matter how slowly she walked, she arrived at her home. She turned on the light, knowing Kevin was not home. There was nothing but loneliness in this big room. Leena had to face it alone.

She cozily nestled herself into the soft couch. It was the first time that she got to know what it meant to be lonely. She poked fun at herself; loneliness? What was loneliness? It had been a "luxury" for her in the past since she didn't replace any time to be alone. But now she felt nothing but lonely all the time.

As the clock was ticking, her soul was sinking bit by bit. There was a twisted feeling lurking in her heart. She was drenched with this feeling and was losing herself. It was the first time that she questioned herself about their marriage. She didn't know whether she had made the right decision by marrying Kevin in such a rush.

She had assumed that she would never fall in love with him. Although she had sensed it on an intuitive level that he was in love with someone else, she chose to ignore the feeling and made herself believe that it would not be a problem between them. But she hadn't anticipated that the woman in his heart might be sis Daisy. It shocked her so much that she could not help but feel deluded and sad.

Daisy was undoubtedly the finest one among all the women Leena knew. Even Leena, a woman, was deeply attracted towards her elegance and poise. No wonder Kevin had affection for her. Leena was not surprised about this at all. Anyway, he had stayed with Daisy for too long, and it made sense that he was attracted to Daisy! She completely understood his feelings. But what made her annoyed was the fact that she had suddenly started caring a great deal about Kevin. Did she have some special feelings for him? But they had not been together for that long. She didn't understand what was wrong with her.

Leena couldn't help the shivering when she thought about this possibility. No, she couldn't let it happen. She clearly knew that she would end up with a broken heart if she fell in love with a man who loved someone else. Leena didn't want herself to be in such a terrible situation. Now that she was trying to convince herself that she didn't love him, why was there nobody but Kevin in her mind all the time? Leena grew perplexed with these thoughts.

The night began to fall. Edward had already fallen asleep because he was tired when Cynthia and Jonathan arrived at the hospital. Knowing that he had recovered from the coma, both Cynthia and Jonathan sighed with relief and thanked God in their hearts. During this time, Daisy took a break and went home to take a relaxing shower. Then she came back to the hospital with her briefcase and some daily essentials. It seemed that she was going to spend a lot of her time in the hospital, this place had become her home away from home. The ticking sound of typing on the keyboard was quite distinct in the silence of the night. Daisy flipped through the file and typed different numbers and words into the document. Occasionally, she raised her head to look at the quietly sleeping man. How handsome he was! A gentle smile always rested on her lips.

She was working on the report that had to be submitted by tomorrow. Though it was somewhat urgent, she could manage it as long as she worked overtime. But how would she go to the office tomorrow? She was still anxious about Edward's health. But she had already used up all her leaves, and she was struggling to replace any good reason for another vacation in such a short time. Besides, Edward was out of danger now. She couldn't continue to extend her leave of absence anymore.

"Colonel, here you are, have some coffee. You'll feel fresh." Mark stayed outside the room, watching TV. He couldn't leave before Daisy went to sleep because he was her aide, and was responsible for taking care of her well-being. So he went out and bought a cup of coffee seeing Daisy was still working so hard.

"Yeah! Thanks! Mark. Why are you still here? It's really late now. Didn't I tell you to go back home and take some rest? I just need you to pick me up tomorrow morning. I have some work at the office."

Daisy didn't realize it until now that he was still here. She frowned slightly, thinking that he had already gone home. It surprised her that he was still here.

"But Colonel, you are still working?" Mark stroked his head awkwardly. He smiled with compassion.

"No worries. You can just go home! I have to take care of this document. Tomorrow is the deadline." Daisy was fully dedicated to her job. So whenever her superiors gave her some job, she always tried to finish it as soon as possible no matter if it's urgent or not. Besides, she only needed to manage a document this time.00000
