Chapter 582 Don''t Test My Patience (Part Two)
Probably because the heat was most intense in the middle of the day, Edward could only see a few
people in the park. From his point of view, the ce looked more like a mountain than a park. Along the
way, he had seen vast stretches of bushes,e across birds chirping melodious and soothing songs,
and passed through woods where sunlight filtered through the tree leaves to create golden halos. The
entire ce was quiet, peaceful, and sweltering. For a moment, Edward thought that he was visiting a
tropical rain forest.
After running continuously for a while, Edward found himself a bit exhausted. He stopped on a t
ce, panting heavily. While he was trying to catch his breath, a familiar figure came into his sight. The
woman was slowly moving down with her flowing white dress fluttering and dancing in the autumn

breeze, like a fairy who lost her way deep in the mountains. Edward couldn''t take his eyes off her.
By now, Daisy realized that her sprain was more serious than she thought. Half an hour had nearly
passed and she had only trudged a short distance. How long before she could reach the bottom of the
mountain at the speed of a tortoise? What a nightmare!
She sighed and wiped off the sweat brought out by the pain from her, and looked down at the
seemingly endless road in frustration. Suddenly, she caught a pair of ring eyes that stopped her
thoughts. Then she saw Edward''s darkened face. Startled by the intense look, she subconsciously took
a step back, only to trip over a small stone. When her sprained ankle twisted again, she was unable to
maintain her bnce and fell on the ground.
"Be careful!" Edward eximed while rushing up to Daisy quickly. Although he was fuming with anger,
he got very worried when he saw her tumble down.
"How did you know I am here?" Daisy asked, nearly moved to tears. Because she upheld her military
training, she had been strong despite the pain and suffering she endured today. She believed that a
soldier could shed blood and sweat, but never tears. But the moment she saw Edward, her nose
couldn''t help twitching. Although his expression was grim, the sight of his faceforted her.
"I didn''t, I was only trying my luck. Are you alright?" Edward replied angrily. He was still infuriated, but
he helped Daisy up as gently as possible. After all, it was a big relief to see her safe and sound. He
finally rxed the moment he touched her.
"I''m fine. Thank you, Edward. I''m d to see you here anyway." Daisy didn''t tell him about her sprained
ankle. Instead, she stared at him with delight. His sudden appearance seemed to have relieved much
of the pain she felt.
"Why didn''t you wake me up? How could youe to such a remote ce alone?" Edward still looked
upset despite her pleasant smile. But he reached out to dust the dirt off her dress.
"You''ve driven for so longst night. I didn''t have the heart to wake you up because you were sleeping
so soundly this morning..." Daisy replied in a low voice. Like a child being scolded, she hung her head
low and kept her gaze at her feet. She didn''t dare to meet Edward''s angry stare. Because she knew
that the man was just worried about her, she didn''t lose her temper in any way.
"Are you telling me that I''m the one who should apologize? Fine. Let''s get out of this ce now,"
Edward said, turning on his heel in a fit of pique. He didn''t like seeing her act so politely with him.
Although it sounded like she was showing her consideration for him, he only felt like she didn''t need
him in any way. At this moment, his heart was deeply stung by her pride and independence. As her
husband, it hurt him a lot to see that she didn''t seem to need him.
Daisy was stunned by Edward''s reaction. She didn''t expect him to turn his back on her. The surprise
made her freeze and gape at him as he walked away.
"Now what? Are you noting with me? Don''t tell me that you haven''t had enough," Edward
snapped. He turned to look at her in confusion when he didn''t hear footsteps following behind. Seeing
that Daisy hadn''t moved a single step, he could no longer restrain himself from losing his temper.
"I..." Daisy bit her lip. The sudden sadness she felt made tears well up in her eyes. She subtly tilted her
head to prevent the tears from falling down on her cheeks. She could easily turn a deaf ear to people''s
malicious remarks, but like anyone else, cold words from family would always break her heart. In the
face of Edward''s indifference towards her, she could barely hold back her tears.
"Don''t test my patience, Daisy." Edward simultaneously felt bad as he replied coldly to Daisy. As a
person from a rich and powerful family, he had long grown used to having people''s obedience. Earlier,
he had been on the verge of a nervous breakdown because she went out without a single word.
Everyone else would always be at his beck and call. Since when did he have to put up with a
headstrong person like her? He was too exasperated to mind his words at the moment.
"Sorry to have troubled you. You go ahead, I can go back on my own." Upon hearing his reply, Daisy
straightened her face and looked very much the colonel she was. She stood with her back facing him
and responded in an even colder and more distant manner.
"So this is your answer?" Edward asked in a chilling hard voice, with veins throbbing in his temples.
Gnashing his teeth in anger, he glowered at the back of the stubborn woman. He kept clenching and
unclenching his fist, as if trying to control his rage. He firmly held the idea that Daisy was simply in a
bad mood. He didn''t know that she was hanging behind because of her injury.
"Yes. If you don''t mind." This was the way Daisy had always been. In a weak state, she was willing to
throw herself into her beloved''s arms and act like a spoiled child in a delicate and sweet manner. But if
anyone dared to offend her tender sensibilities, she would automatically put on a mask of indifference
at once, and keep people at a distance with cold detachment.
