Chapter 448 I Love The New You (Part Three)


    "Well, it''s no biggie. But...colonel, are you also ill?" Mark hesitated for a moment and finally spoke his


    mind. What he had witnessed was too shocking to believe. Was the woman with sly yet coy smile on


    her face who was passionately kissing Edward really his Colonel Daisy, the one who was known for her


    indifference and coldness in the military? Were it not for the fact that Mark saw it with his own eyes, he


    would never believe it. In fact, he was still doubting it.


    "Why? What do you mean?" Daisy took theptop and put it on the nearby table. Upon hearing Mark''s


    question, she turned around and asked with a confused look. She didn''t know what Mark meant or why


    he would suddenly think that she was ill.


    "Because you''re acting strange. I mean, it''s not like you or what you would do. I''ve been your aide for


    many years and I''ve never seen you like this. So I think maybe you''re also severely ill, the kind that will


    affect one''s behavior, which may probably exin why you''re not yourself and acting weird." Mark said


    discreetly as he stole a nervous nce at Daisy. Although he was speaking the truth, he was afraid that


    Daisy would get upset and kick him. He couldn''t fight back and attack his superior, so he''d better


    prepare himself for some proper self-defense.


    "Haha!" Edward couldn''t help but burst intoughter, but it was soon interrupted by violent coughs.


    Edward was amused by Mark and his whimsical words. However, heughed too loud that it tore the


    wound. He felt a sharp paining from his chest area all of a sudden and cold sweat began to form


    on his forehead as he coughed and panted heavily.


    "Are you okay? How do you feel? Is it hurt?" As much as Daisy was annoyed that Edward was secretly


    gloating at her, she got nervous when she heard him coughing and saw him in pain. Instead of getting


    angry with him, she immediately leaned forward to check if he was okay.


    "I''m fine. You guys can carry on." Edward said with a smile as he pursed his lips to rey the soft and


    intoxicate taste of her lips on his own just a few minutes ago. However, in Daisy''s eyes, it felt like that


    he was flirting with her outright with such a move. She once again regretted her reckless move of


    kissing him. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt.


    "You''re gloating." Daisy red at Edward as she spoke. Although Edward was pale and weary, lying in


    bed and not able to do anything, he could still enjoy seeing Daisy make a fool of herself. He was


    obviously amused by what he had seen, which irritated Daisy.


    "No, you''re wrong," Edward said in a low and soft voice, which sounded almost like a whisper to Daisy.


    He felt his eyelids bing so heavy and his mind melting away that he couldn''t stay awake any


    longer. The smile on his face also became a bit stiff. He wondered what had happened to him. He had


    always been a strong and vigorous man, but why would he get so tired after only a couple minutes of


    talking?


    "Are you tired? Just close you eyes and have some rest." Daisy could notice even the slightest change


    on his look. When she noticed his eyes losing focus and his voice getting soft, she knew he must be


    too tired to stay awake. After all, he took a bullet for her and lost a lot of blood, and Tom performed an


    hours-long surgery to bring him back from thend of the dead. He was just starting to recover. It was


    quite normal that he wasn''t strong enough and he needed more rest to restore his energy. Daisy knew


    that well and she couldn''t let him wear himself out at this critical moment, so she insisted he should


    rest.


    "I''m fine, don''t worry about me. Mark, tell me what happened to your colonel''s face." It turned out that


    Edward hadn''t forgotten about the matter, and he wouldn''t go back to sleep again until he had the


    answer he wanted. Even though he was too exhausted and was about to fall asleep on any second, he

    tried hard to stay awake. Since Daisy wouldn''t tell him what happened, Edward turned to Mark and


    hoped he had the answer he wanted.


    "I''m not sure about that. Nothing happened before noon. But her face has be swollen and red like


    that when I returned from the army base to fetch some documents for her. She said that she bumped


    into some bandits and that was the end of the story." As long as it wasn''t rting to confidential


    knowledge in the army, Mark would answer whatever Edward asked him, especially when it came to


    Daisy. Daisy was so frustrated and even wondered for more than once that who Mark really worked for.


    Was Mark her aide or Edward''s? Shouldn''t he be taking her side and helping her? Daisy felt like that


    she couldn''t hide anything from Edward since Mark would always gave her away.


    "Bandits in Jerry''s hospital? How is that even possible?" Edward turned his eyes to Daisy with great


    interest as he muttered. It was obvious that he didn''t buy her story at all. But to his surprise, he had


    never thought of that Daisy would just blurt out something ridiculous to lie to someone as simple and


    honest as Mark, who seemed to be convinced by Daisy''s story. That was quite impressive.


    "Why are you looking at me like that?" Daisy looked away nervously to avoid eye contact with him. She


    acted as calmly as she could pretend, however, deep down, she was cursing Mark silently for a million


    time. If only they were in the army base right now! She would definitely punish him and make him do all


    the training programs to make him remember whose side he was on. Daisy thought that might be the


    only way Mark could learn his lesson, keep his mouth shut, and side with Daisy next time.


    "Don''t you think you owe me an exnation? Or do you think I''ll actually believe that you ran into some


    bandits in a hospital which is well-equipped with security guards? Mark may buy your story, but I''m not


    him. Do you think you can fool me with thatme exnation?" Edward had no intention of dropping


    the topic. He had to figure out who would be so bold and ignorant and desperately court his own death


    by attacking his beloved wife. Once he found out who the culprit was, Edward wouldn''t mind finishing


    the person off himself.
