Chapter 964 Am I So Frightening (Part Two)


    "Of course I didn''t make a sound. Everything happened because of me. My father would have kicked


    my ass if I dared sneak in a word. He is the boss of Mayfly while I am just a powerless nobody. How


    could I confront him?" Edward retorted calmly. He knew how much his father loved his mother. Any


    word that came out of his mouth would have only fueled his anger, instead of helping in reasoning with


    him. Edward wasn''t so tired of life yet that he wanted to die at his father''s hands! After all, he hoped to


    grow old with Daisy. He should keep himself safe and sound before that happened.


    "Ha ha! Finally you admitted that you were just a nobody," Daisy cackled. Suddenly, she felt something


    warm run down her foot. She pushed up her pants to see if her leg was bleeding.


    "Woman, you don''t understand. A man should know when to hold his head high and when to eat the


    humble pie. Only that way can he hope to have a wonderful life. Otherwise, things don''t go as smoothly


    and - Daisy, what is that? Is your leg bleeding? Jesus, you lied to me! You said it was nothing serious.


    That wound looks dangerous," Edward eximed as he noticed the blood. He grabbed his phone


    quickly to make a call to Tom as soon as possible.


    Daisy frowned. She hadn''t thought it would get so bad. She had bandaged it simply by herself at the


    army base, instead of going to the infirmary to get it treated. "Hello, Edward. Are you calling to invite


    me over for dinner?" Tom had just finished performing an operation. No sooner had he stepped into his


    office to take a break than he received Edward''s phone call. He hadn''t even had the time to drink any


    water yet. He was always thirsty and weary after surgery.


    "Come over right now! Daisy''s leg is injured. It needs immediate treatment." Edward cut to the chase,


    totally ignoring Tom''s quip.


    "What? She got injured again? You have to remind her that she is only human. She can''t subject her


    body to injuries again and again," Tom said earnestly as he got to his feet. He needed to talk to his


    coworkers about a couple of important things before he left the hospital for Edward''s house. The


    patient they had operated on hadn''te out of danger yet. There might be someplications after


    the surgery. He had to give them some advice to help cope with whatever mighte upter.


    "Tell her that in person when you get here." Edward sounded pissed. He glowered at Daisy''s leg,


    wishing that he could just strangle her so that she wouldn''t keep worrying him any longer.


    "Okay then. I''ll be at your house in twenty minutes. Stop the bleeding first, before I arrive. But you can


    choose to avoid doing that if you think she has too much blood. I''ll give her the emergency treatment


    when I get there anyway." As a doctor, Tom hated it when people didn''t take care of themselves. At the


    moment, he was as furious as Edward.


    "Juste. Cut the crap." Edward, as overbearing as usual, hung up directly.


    "Good god! Every single time he acts as if he was the king! What kind of person is Edward? He is


    asking me for help, but somehow he makes me feel like I''m his servant," Tom mumbled resentfully as


    he stalked out of the hospital. He felt like the time would nevere when Edward stopped bossing


    him around. When he got to Edward''s house, there was still a tinge of resentment on his face.


    "Hello, Tom. I had Mrs. Wu cook dinner for you. Eat something first." Having troubled Tom so many


    times, Daisy felt embarrassed to see him. She couldn''t promise there wouldn''t be a next time.


    "Daisy, if you really care about me, take good care of yourself. You are covered in old injuries," Tom


    said as he opened his medical kit. His patient was sitting right in front of him, waiting for his treatment.


    He wouldn''t be in the mood to eat anything in this scenario. Plus, he knew Edward wouldn''t let him. He


    would chop off the hand he dared eat with. So, Tom made the smart move to treat Daisy first.


    "Just stop talking and attend to the injury first." Edward rolled his eyes at him. He had asked him to


    "It''s okay. Tom is right. I have been too carelesstely." Daisy knew that Tom meant well. He cared


    about her. She didn''t feel offended by what he had said. Furthermore, he was right. She had nothing to


    say in her defence at what he said.


    "Daisy, I hope you don''t mind. As a doctor, I really need you to be more careful." Tom started to unwrap


    the gauze that wrapped her injury. No sooner had he seen the wide cut than his eyebrows scrunched


    together in shock.


    "Don''t worry. I don''t mind it. In fact, I am thankful for what you say and do. I know what a good friend


    you are." Daisy could tell from Tom''s tone that he was really annoyed this time. She understood that.


    "I appreciate your understanding. But I have to ask since this cut is very deep. Why didn''t you get


    stitches? It was so dangerous not to get it treated immediately. I can also tell that the cut wasn''t


    attended to professionally. Isn''t there an infirmary at the army base?" Tom picked the medicinal liquid


    and applied it to her cut to diminish the inmmation. Afterward, he took out a disposable needle to

    give her local anesthesia.


    "I didn''t go to the infirmary, because I thought it was nothing to worry about. So I treated it myself,"


    Daisy mumbled, afraid that Edward would hear her words. But it was toote. Upon hearing that,


    Edward stared at her like he wanted to kill her.


    "You can''t do that! Reducing the inmmation is essential, no matter how small the cut is. It just gets


    worse if the cut res up." Tom gave her the local anesthesia skillfully and prepared to do the stitches.


    "Okay. Noted." Right now, Daisy was being extremely docile. However, it didn''t do anything to appease


    Edward, who was seething with rage.


    "Noted? Do you really mean that? You promise you won''t let yourself get hurt again?" Edward asked


    her with a corrupt grin, which chilled Daisy to the bone. She would rather he yelled at her than hear him


    speak to her in the grim tone, and with such a sinister grin on his face.


    "Edward, could you talk to herter? You are upsetting my patient. Even I am scared of you. If my


    hands shake during the treatment, I won''t be responsible for the consequences," Tom rebuked him.


    Although Edward''s re was not on him, he could feel himself sweating all over. As his close friend, he


    knew Edward was on the verge of exploding. To spare himself trouble, he rified himself to Edward in


    case he took it out on himter. After all, Edward wouldn''t go as easy on him as on Daisy.


    "Your hands would shake? Just you try." Edward nced at Tom''s hands in disdain. Obviously, if that


    happened, things wouldn''t go as Tom would hope for.


    "Can you step outside for a moment? You are making me nervous," Tom implored him. His hands were


    indeed trembling. He was worried that he would hurt Daisy.


    "Why are you nervous? Am I so frightening? Just do your job! There are no negotiations!" Edward


    didn''t leave the room, but sat on the sofa situated at a distance. He couldn''t stand the possibility that


    Tom might hurt his beloved wife identally.
