Chapter 635: We Are Family (part one)

"Well, I shouldn't have expected anything from you. Daisy, I'd better get back to the hospital now. I need to prepare for the operation this afternoon," said Tom. Since he was used to Edward's oppressive behavior towards him, he wasn't affected by his sharp tongue at all. He just promptly picked up the medicine box.

Are you leaving now? It's almost time for lunch. Why don't you have lunch here before you go back to the hospital?" Daisy asked. After ensuring that Daisy's wound was healing nicely, Tom was eager to leave. While Edward took his help for granted, Daisy was a little embarrassed. After all, they had troubled Tom for a long time without even thanking him. They couldn't let him leave without showing their gratitude.

No, I'll have lunch after I return to the hospital. I'm afraid that if I eat in front of him, I would lose my appetite. If I don't have enough energy, it will affect the operation in the afternoon. That will be horrible for the patient," Tom answered.

Tom shot a meaningful look at Edward. Obviously, he was referring to him. Actually, he really needed to get back to the hospital now. It wasn't related to Edward at all. He was only saying that to get Daisy's sympathy.

Good! Tom, I haven't abandoned you, but you're abandoning me first. It seems that you've gained a lot of courage these days." Edward said the words one by one through gritting teeth, narrowing his eyes quietly at Tom. Although Edward currently looked calm, people who were familiar with him knew that the expression on his face meant that he was in a bad mood. If they didn't quickly escape, the consequences would be dire for them. At the sight, Tom hurriedly walked out of the room without waiting for Edward to finish talking. Before he walked out, he turned around to Daisy and said, "Goodbye, Daisy. I'll invite you to dinner once I'm free."

"This guy really runs fast," Edward commented. The corners of his mouth twitched. It seemed that Tom realized that his words were getting on Edward's nerves. Otherwise, he wouldn't have quickly run away as if he was escaping a pack of savage beasts. In fact, from Tom's perspective, Edward was more horrible than a pack of savage beasts. He needed to get away from him as soon as possible.

"You were so mean to him, that's why he was so eager to leave. Who would want to stay and suffer your sharp tongue?" Daisy teased him peevishly. She did not understand Tom and Edward's friendship. How could they be good friends when they were always arguing like that?

Are you taking his side?" Edward asked in a threatening tone. He sat down next to her and reached out his hand to twirl a strand of her hair.

"If I say yes, what will you do to me?" Daisy picked up the cup of water on the coffee table and took an elegant sip. She didn't seem to worry about the threat in his words.

What punishment do you want, honey?" He asked with a wicked glint in his eyes. At the same time, his hand quietly moved away from her hair. He caressed her previously injured cheek, touching it lightly. After Tom's treatmeant, he could hardly see the injury. But the memory of its existence was deeply engraved in his heart forever, and became a constant reminder that he wasn't able to protect her well.

"How about training with me for a while?" Her eyes sparkled with excitement. Probably because she had been resting for a long time, Daisy felt that her body and mind were getting slower. She thought it was necessary for her to exercise.

"No, I'm not a fool. You will beat me hard," Edward said quickly. His hand paused for a moment, before he finally withdrew his hand. The reason he refused to practice with her wasn't because he was afraid of getting beaten roughly. He was still worried about her injury. He was afraid that her body hadn't fully recovered yet, so he refused her without hesitation.

Forget it, I'll go to the military base tomorrow to look for Hawkeye and train with him. It's the same thing." Daisy didn't force him to train with her, snuggling up in his arms. She felt comfortable in the position. She enjoyed relaxing like this with her husband. Such moments would disappear soon.

What? Are you going back to work tomorrow?" asked Edward. He was a little shocked. He did not expect her to suddenly mention the matter of going back to work. It took him a while to respond.

Yes. I'm all right now. I should go back to work," Daisy replied, frowning slightly. Because of her injury, her work had been piling up for days. If she didn't return to work quickly, it would only get bigger and bigger. It would definitely not be good for her.

"But you haven't fully recovered yet." Edward looked at her anxiously and began to regret not agreeing to her request. If he had, would she not be in such a hurry to go back to work?

It's fine. I just need to deal with some paperwork. There aren't any special tasks to come out recently, so you don't need to be worried," Daisy reassured him. Speaking of work, Daisy felt a little guilty towards Leena. During this time, there was a special training ongoing abroad. It was her turn to go to the training. But because of her injury, Kevin had to take her place instead. Because of this, he didn't have time to spend with Leena.

"It's good that you know I'm worried. No matter what. I hope you will value your own life above all else. I'm most insistent on this point. I hope that for me, you will take good care of yourself, Edward said seriously.

His eyes dimmed a little. How would he naive enough to believe that she would only handle regular documents once she went back to the military base? There should be all kinds of training waiting for her! But it was her job, and he couldn't interfere too much. He could only plead with her to take good care of herself.
