Chapter 460 A Burnt Child Dreads The Fire (Part One)


    "Don''t worry! He won''t me 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 day. It seemed to be a daily chore


    and a necessity. Edward loved her a lot. It was impossible for him to me her from his heart.


    "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 feltforted 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 sheforted 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 wascking 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 find 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! Shepletely 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 thea, 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 rxing 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 ce had


    be 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. asionally, 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 find 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 reallyte 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 withpassion.


    "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.
