Chapter 754 Forever (Part Three)


    "Do you still have any of the ointment left? The ointment that you took from Jerry?" Duke cut right to the


    chase and didn''t even bother to say hello.


    "Why do you ask? Did someone get hurt?" Edward asked. He was lyingfortably on the bed in the


    rest room, and was understandably curious. He got up very early this morning, so he was very tired


    and needed a nap right now.


    "Yeah! Belinda was hurt by a drunk the other day. Just tell me, do you have any left or not?" Duke


    couldn''t help but roll his eyes at Edward''s questions. Couldn''t he just give him the answer?


    "Yes. There''s still some ointment left here. You cane by this afternoon and pick it up if you get the


    time." Edward massaged the skin between his eyebrows, and he was quite curious exactly how


    Belinda had been hurt by a drunk. In fact, he was not the only one who was curious. Tom raised his


    head and nced at Duke after hearing what he said, because Duke didn''t tell him how the hell


    Belinda got hurt. Now that he had more info, and thought of the wounds all over Belinda''s body, he was


    getting a clearer picture of what was going on.


    "Can''t Ie over now?" Duke''s brows furrowed. He was quite surprised that Edward would tell him to


    wait til this afternoon. He wondered what Edward was busy doing now. Was he with some other


    woman?


    "Sorry. Not now, I''m really tired. I need to rest for a bit," Edward said, then closed his eyes. Last night''s


    love-making had used a lot of his energy, and he didn''t get to sleep until veryte. Then he got up early


    this morning, so he was definitely going to take a solid nap and restore his energy.


    "What? Are you messing with me? You never take a nap! Did you do something badst night?" Duke


    mumbled, feeling a bit annoyed. But he couldn''t do anything to Edward. After all, he was Edward.


    "What do you think? You''re married too. Do you need me to tell you the details?" Edward smirked and


    raised his eyebrow. His smile, as usual, was elegant and enticing. Fortunately, there was only him in


    the room, or he would definitely draw people''s eyes to him this time.


    "Are you kidding me? Since when are you this weak?" The corner of Duke''s mouth twitched. This was


    the difference between him and Edward. It seemed that only Edward could share his love life without a


    care.


    "Where did you get the idea that I''m weak? Don''t you know that I have excellent stamina?" He


    wondered what Daisy would think if she heard Edward''s yful words. It was a pity that she was


    currently in field training. He guessed that maybe Daisy wouldn''t even say a word, but she would


    probably beat Edward to death.


    "Then why do you want to take a nap at noon?" Even Duke blushed now, cool as he was. Edward was


    shameless.


    "I just slept for three hoursst night. If you were me, wouldn''t you be sleepy too? Okay, I''ll hang up


    now. Don''t bother me before I wake up. Bye." Edward hung up on Duke without waiting for a response.


    He threw his phone to the side of the bed and started to nap.


    Duke heard the click after Edward hung up on him, then helplessly sighed and pocketed his phone. It


    seemed that he still had to wait till this afternoon. Because Edward never changed his mind. If he said


    that now was not okay, then it was not okay for certain.


    "Tell me, what did the boss say? Is there any ointment left in his home?" Tom asked this as soon as


    Duke hung up the call. He needed to know for inventory purposes. Because whether Edward still had


    that ointment or not would affect his list of meds.


    "Yeah! He said there was still some left. But I have to wait till this afternoon to go and pick it up. Right


    now, he needs some sleep." Duke let out a sigh of relief. No matter what, at least this problem was


    solved. All he had to do was wait till this afternoon and get the ointment from Edward. So he was quite


    a bit more rxed than before.


    "Are you kidding me right now? He said he needed a nap? Since when did he start to take a nap at


    noon? He''s always so energetic and doesn''t seem to be the type who needs a nap. What is he? Five


    years old?" Tom crumpled the prescription heposed just now into a ball and threw it in the trash


    can, then started writing a new one.


    "Why are you asking me? How would I know? If you are really that curious, just go and ask him


    yourself!" Duke just coolly nced at him. Of course, he wouldn''t tell Tom the exact words Edward said


    on the phone. He was not that crazy after all.


    "Huh! Then don''t tell me! I don''t care anyway. Here! This is a new prescription. Just take it to the


    pharmacy. The staff there will help you." All problems were solved now, and he was ready to eat his


    lunch. He was starving to death.


    "Tom, thank you very much. We''re going now. Have a nice lunch!" Belinda took the slip from Tom''s


    hand. She had no idea of the ointment they were talking about just now, but she didn''t want to ask. So


    she just thanked Tom and told him that they were leaving.


    "You''re wee. To be honest, I''m starving to death. So I won''t hold you two here." Tom ran a hand


    through his hair a bit apologetically. After finishing his lunch, he had to get back to his job again and


    work on Hero''s case. So he really didn''t have time to waste. He had to make sure the n was perfect


    today because they would need it tomorrow.


    "Okay, okay! We get it. We are going now. Just have a good lunch, alright?" Duke stressed the word


    ''good'', and a meaningful smile appeared again on his face at the same time. Tom felt a chill run down


    his spine.


    "Okay. Just go! Take care." Tom waved at Duke, then stood up and walked to the sink to wash his


    hands before lunch. Though he still felt uneasy about Duke''s weird smile, he couldn''t care anymore, he


    was literally starving. That was the reason why he started cursing when his mouth was full of hot


    mustard. He drank half bottle of water and still couldn''t get that taste out of his mouth.


    Fortunately, not every dish had mustard in it, or he would surely starve to death. It seemed that Duke


    was not that vicious after all! No wonder Duke couldn''t control his smile today. He was trying to prank


    him! That was the reason why Duke insisted that he ate his lunch after checking up on Belinda. This


    was his purpose. And he couldn''t believe that he had fallen for his lie! He had sensed that something


    was not right, but still, he walked into it. If he guessed right, Duke was somewhereughing at him now
