Chapter 461 A Burnt Child Dreads The Fire (Part Two)
"Yes, tomorrow is the deadline. But you don''t have to submit it in the morning. You can do it in the
afternoon and submit it before the end of day." Was Mark a cker? Not necessarily! He sometimes
liked to find the loopholes in things just like he did right now. Anyway, there were no constraints about
the exact time of submitting the file, so one could just consider thest minute to be the deadline. He
was notzy at work. It''s just that they did not specify the deadline.
"No. There are probably tons of things I need to manage after I reach the army base tomorrow." Daisy
continued her work while she was talking to Mark. Her fingers kept swiftly typing on the keyboard. She
wasn''t thezy kind. Although she knew what Mark had said was right, she was also aware of the fact
that she hadn''t gone to the army base for quite a long time and there would be tons of work
umted for her. She would have no time for this document because she''ll have to look over those
things first. So she discerned that it would be better to finish the document tonight when she had some
free time! Or else she would be running around all day long tomorrow.
"But Colonel, didn''t you ask for two days'' leave? There''s still one day remaining. If you are going to
work tomorrow, who''ll take care of Mr. Mu?" Mark looked at Daisy with a puzzled expression. He heard
it when Mr. Gu spoke to themander and asked for two days'' leave for Daisy. Wasn''t it a loss if she
went to work tomorrow?
"It''s fine. I''ll manage. I don''t have to go to the army base, but this file needs to be sent back to the base
tomorrow anyway. It''s just a matter of time. You can just go home and take a rest!" Daisy raised her
eyes and took a look at Edward. She was thest person to leave him alone and go to work. But Daisy
was a soldier. When there was a conflict between the country and her personal interest, she had to
choose the country. This was the basic code of conduct that a soldier had to follow.
"Yes, Colonel. Ok then take care." Though those arms dealers had already been taken into custody, it
was still possible that some of them escaped. So it was not the right time to lower their guard.
"Yes!
Go home!" Daisy twitched the corners of her mouth. He was acting like a burnt child dreading the fire!
Why was he being so high-strung about her safety all the time? She remembered that in the past,
whenever she executed a task, no matter how dangerous it got, he didn''t seem to be so concerned.
Now she was slightly surprised by the anxiety he exhibited.
Daisy picked up the coffee and took a sip. The silky wheat scent instantly filled her taste buds. She let
out a rxed sigh and then got involved in her work again. But suddenly a terrible thought emerged in
her head. She was really frightened, and she ran to Edward. She extended her finger and ced it
beneath Edward''s nose to feel his breath. When she sensed the steady breathing, she could not help
she was the same! She looked at Edward soulfully. He had been asleep for a long time. It had been
four hours already, why wasn''t he waking up? Was he exhausted due to the series of visits?
Daisy left a gentle kiss on his forehead. She felt ted at this moment. She was easily satisfied by the
simple pleasures of life. She didn''t care if Edward could talk to her or not, as long as she could see him
now. She didn''t care whether he would value her in the future, as long as she was in his life right now.
She didn''t care how many women he had had before, as long as she was thest woman in his heart.
Daisy reached out her hand and smoothed the wrinkles between his eyebrows. There was always a
slight smile resting on her lips when she looked at Edward. She had never made any unreasonable
demands like apanying him everywhere, let alone asking him to fall in love with her. So when he
said he loved her, she was thrilled, and her heart could not help burning heavily. No matter how much
time passed, he would always be the man who made her heart flip, just like the time when they first
met.
Daisy walked back to the desk. She bit her lip slightly and then continued her work. asionally, some
medical staff came in to change the transfusion bottle. She just raised her head and took a quick look
at them. She didn''t pay much attention because she had to finish the work before 3 a.m. so that she
would have one hour left to take a quick nap. She would have no time to rest whole day tomorrow as
she would get extremely busy.
She was aware that she should speed up with the file. Yet, she kept walking towards Edward to feel his
breath from time to time. She was afraid that some unfortunate incident might ur. Now she doubted
whether she had the heart to leave him alone and go to the army base. She was so concerned even
when she was sitting right beside him. What would happen when she was away from him at the army
base? She knew she would struggle to concentrate on her work if she went to the office tomorrow!
It was almost 4 o''clock in the morning. Edward woke up again. He had fallen into a deep sleep and felt
quitefortable after waking up. So when he opened his shining blue eyes, he had already recovered
himself. He felt fresh as usual. There was no tiredness on his handsome face anymore.

He raised his eyes and saw his adorable and dainty wife sleeping face down. The wrinkles on his
forehead that Daisy had tried to smooth down appeared again. He tried to move his body slightly, but
he found he was too weak to move. Now he finally understood why his wife had said he was in no
position to bully others. It was indeed proving to be true! He couldn''t even turn over to his side, let
alone touch her from the bed.
He couldn''t move. But he could not bear watching Daisy sleeping in such an ufortable position.
He had no alternative. He took back his pride and pressed the bell near the head of the hospital bed to
call the staff. He was worried that if he didn''t do anything his beloved wife would have severe pain all
over her body after she woke up.
