It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 462 An Overarm Throw (Part One)

"Mr. Mu, what can I help you with? Are you okay? Is there anything wrong?" The nurse said softly. Because Edward put his index finger in front of his mouth to indicate her to be quiet. "I'm okay, send for your director. I need to see him. Thanks," Edward said, also in a low voice. He acted very politely, and he didn't show the slightest trace of putting on airs.

"Are you asking for the director? I'm afraid that these are his off-duty hours. He's not usually here. But since you asked, I'll go to his office and try my luck." The nurse walked out as soon as she finished her words. She knew that usually the director would not come to the hospital, except if there were special circumstances. She wondered whether Mr. Mu was one of those special cases.

Edward didn't worry that Tom wasn't here. Because he knew as long as he was there, Tom would not dare to go home to sleep. Because it would take more time for Tom to come from his place than coming from his office. So Edward predicted that Tom would stay at the hospital overnight in case Edward needed him at any time. It was safer that way. Just like now, Edward happened to need Tom. Although he didn't know how long he had slept, Daisy had already fallen asleep with an exhausted look on her face, he was sure that it was past midnight now.

Just as Edward had predicted, Tom didn't head home after he applied the medicine to Daisy's face. Instead, he slept in the lounge in his office. Because Edward was such a distinguished guest staying in the hospital, he had to gather his energy and be prepared to be called by Edward at any time. Otherwise he would not be sure whether his hospital could keep running as it did before. So this time when he received Edward's request, although he cursed Edward thousands of times in his heart, he still got up and went to Edward's ward. "Edward, don't tell me you stay up late because you want to chat with me at this insane hour," Tom said with sleepy eyes. His steps were unsteady because of his drowsiness. Obviously, it was miserable to get up in the middle of the night.

"Hush! Lower your voice. Don't you see that Daisy is asleep?" Edward was irritated by Tom's sudden high volume. He was relieved when he noticed that Daisy was not awakened by him. Probably because she was too tired. She was still in a sound sleep. "Oh! Daisy fell asleep." Tom scratched his head and lowered his voice. No harm, no foul. He didn't raise his voice intentionally.

"No more nonsense, what do you think I'm calling you for? Do you really think that I'm out of my mind and want you to come over to have a chat? Moreover, do you think that you're more attractive than Daisy and I would ignore the person right under my eyes yet try to seek what is far away by waking you up in the middle of the night?"

Edward stared at Tom peevishly. Did Tom really think that he was so bored as to want to chat with him so late? He wouldn't have called Tom if he could move.

"Oh, no. How can I ever compete with Daisy who is so beautiful, ethereal and aloof? Are you teasing me? Or do you just want me to put Daisy on the bed for you?" Tom waved his hand while stepping back. Even Edward allowed him to do so, he would not offend Daisy or him. Who knew whether this mercurial guy would take offense and take revenge?

"Why not?" Edward rolled his eyes and smiled cunningly. He wouldn't mind letting Tom carry his beautiful wife, even if it would make him feel jealous. Why did Tom seem to have an issue with it?

"Are you sure if I get near Daisy, she wouldn't suddenly give me an overarm throw, based on her sharpness as a soldier?" Tom thought that Edward was joking about it. If he really dared to irritate Daisy who was like the sleeping lion in the middle of the night, it was only because either he was a moron, or he was still drowsy and not clear about what he was doing.

"Don't worry. She's probably exhausted. If she wasn't sound asleep, she would have immediately woken up when you came in, and you wouldn't stay here unharmed while talking about her like this."

Although Edward was given to exaggerating about Daisy, this wasn't one of those times. As a soldier, she had sharp senses. She was highly vigilant and very sensitive to every unusual sound. But she didn't stir when Tom came in. Normally, she'd stand bolt upright. Left to her own devices she slept lightly. One reason might be that the gunfight had consumed most of her energy, and another might be that she didn't rest well, worried about Edward when he was still in a coma. And once Edward woke up, she suddenly felt relieved, so she could fall into a sound sleep now. She could make up for all the rest she didn't get.

"Easy for you to say. You're not the one bothering her. If she knocks my block off, I'll blame it on you." Tom looked at Edward with a somber look while approaching Daisy with small steps. He was doing it with desperation as if he were sacrificing himself by taking the tough stuff.

"Okay, I guarantee nothing will happen." Edward wore a cunning smile. There's no telling how Daisy would react when someone touched her. Edward would pay if he were wrong about this. Tom would avenge himself while checking on Edward. Maybe taking his temperature by putting the thermometer in a very uncomfortable place... Tom was a doctor, and he had plenty ways to deal with Edward who was unable to move now.0000
