Chapter 423 Brutal Training In JC Military Academy (Part One)


    Daisy''s nerves were tensed as it seemed like a century had passed before the closed door of the ICU


    showed a sign of opening. Looking at Tom who appeared utterly exhausted, she couldn''t bring herself


    to ask him about Edward''s situation. She stood listlessly and was afraid to hear any bad news from


    him.


    "Tom, how is everything?" Seeing Tom stepping out of the door, Luke walked to him first and asked


    worriedly. He shot concerned looks into the ICU but failed to see anything.


    "Everything is fine. We made it." Tom was so exhausted that he slowly sat down on the chair. The


    thoracotomy surgery was highly risky because it was operated near both heart and lungs. So rtively


    severe post-operativeplications might transpire ordingly, such as a pulmonary cyst or a heart


    failure. Edward was in theter situation. It was more dangerous than a pulmonary cyst.


    "He''s alright, isn''t he?" Daisy asked tentatively, with an expression of great hope on her face. She


    stared at Tom, expecting to hear some encouraging news.


    "Yes, for now. But we''ll have to wait for three days before hepletely gets out of danger. Let''s see


    whether he''ll wake up in the next 12 hours." Tom pressed his eyebrow. He had already been very tired


    after the operation. Afterward, the one-hour long emergency rescue pushed him to his utmost limit both


    physically and mentally.


    "Thank you, Tom. Can I go inside to see him?" Daisy kept rubbing her hands. She was still very


    nervous.


    "Well… Fine! It''ll probably be good for him. He might respond if you stay with him and talk to him." Tom


    thought for a few seconds. He felt whether the patient would make it through or not essentially


    depended on the sess of the operation. But the patient''s desire for life was equally crucial. In some


    instances, it proved to be more effective than other factors.


    "Really?" Daisy was excited. She had been parted with him since he entered the operating room, that


    was roughly eight hours ago. Though she could see him through the cold ss window, she couldn''t


    touch him. In that sense, he felt unreal to her. He was so near to her yet so far too.


    "Let''s go! I''ll get you sterilized." Tom forced a weak smile. Seemingly he was also disturbed by


    Edward''s condition.


    Finally, Daisy was able to see Edward''s handsome face closely. She couldn''t help clenching her fists at


    the sight of the various medical equipments and rted pipes on his body.


    His face still looked pale. Even with the help of all the machines, Daisy could clearly see the pain in his


    face. His dashing brows, deep blue eyes, elegant nose, soft lips, everything looked so special that


    Daisy saved this memory deep in her heart. He became a bright and beautiful view that was ingrained


    in her mind. In her eyes, he was more attractive than any beautiful exhibition of pictures.


    Tom signaled the staff with a wink, conveying that they should step back. Then he also left the room.


    He knew Daisy must have a lot to say to Edward. So he decided to stay outside.


    Daisy bit her lip. She reached out with trembling hand and held Edward''s strong masculine hand. But


    she couldn''t feel the usual warmth he used to have. She felt a pang of sorrow because of that.


    She slowly sat down on the chair beside him. Her cold fingers touched his head. His eyebrows were


    frowning even in this state of unconsciousness. She stroked his brows slightly. She remembered that


    she had told him once that she didn''t like it when he frowned. She hoped he would be happy every day.


    But, he was frowning so much right now. She wondered, was it because of her?

    Until this moment she hadn''t noticed how long and thick his eyshes were. They were lying together


    gently, and he had hidden all his talents deep in his eyes. He looked so quiet and gentle.


    Once again tears burst out of Daisy''s eyes. Normally, she was not a big crier. But ever since Edward


    was hospitalized, she had cried more than she ever did for thest 20 years.


    She held his hand which was not infused, and ced it on her face lightly. She then kissed it gently.


    She kept feeling his presence that he was bringing to her silently.


    She couldn''t imagine how she got through life without his support in the past. They had been apart for


    just a few hours. But to her, it felt like it was as long as a century. She was about to copse due to the


    helplessness she felt because she couldn''t touch him or feel him. But now she had seen him, and she


    had touched him too, yet her heart was hurting badly. It felt as if there was a massive stoneid on it.


    "Darling, are you really feeling tired? Or are you avoiding me? You promised me you''d never risk your


    life. But you didn''t keep your words and hurt yourself. Though you did it to protect me, it''s still your


    mistake for not keeping your promise. Don''t me me for my unreasonable words. You made me say


    it. If you feel wronged, you must steel yourself. I am waiting right here, for a convincing exnation


    from you."


    The sad and hoarse voice was apanied by the hum of various instruments sounded heavy, and


    the people present couldn''t help but feel sad. They knew this beautiful yet indifferent young colonel


    from the anniversary celebration party of FX international Group. They felt sad for her while admiring


    her.


    "Do you know? The afternoon twelve years ago was the most precious moment in my life. It''s way back


    in the past yet it jumps in front of my eyes every day. Although you only said a few cold words to me,


    they changed my whole life." Daisy raised her lips slightly with a sweet smile as if the afternoon twelve


    years ago had appeared in front of her again. It felt so real to her.
