It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 416 God Bless Him

The surgery could proceed because of the blood supply. Through this operation, everyone present got to know the president of the hospital better. He was an elegant and decent man, yet he was cool- headed and indifferent too. Probably that was because there was a deep friendship between Edward and him! His best friend was lying on the operation table, so no wonder he lost control of his feelings.

"Mrs. Mu, perhaps you should take a seat for a while! Or you might get sick before Mr. Mu's operation is done." Luke said in a worried voice, looking at Daisy who seemed to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

"I'm fine." Daisy moved her mouth a little and forced a response. Her tired face was still pale.

Just then a loud sound of hasty footsteps approached them. Soon, Rain, the charming devil, appeared in front of them.

"Daisy, how's Edward doing?" Rain panted slightly and asked. When he got the phone call from Tom, he was accompanying the clients in a resort of a remote village. He drove back as fast as he could upon hearing the news. But there were traffic jams all over the city. That's why he came so late.

"How did you come to know, Rain?" Daisy bit her lip a little and forced the corners of her mouth to move upwards bitterly. But there was no sign of a smile. She looked miserable and lonely.

"Tom called and told me. Don't worry, Daisy. He is a gifted doctor." While talking, Rain took off his coat and put it on Daisy. It happened so spontaneously that one could easily perceive that he was a man of subtle and refined sensibility. He cared about others for the smallest of things. However, he kept a safe distance from Annie, which was what he regretted the most.

"Yes! Thank you!" Daisy gathered and closed his coat around her. Thanks to his kind act, she could cover the gruesome blood stains on her clothes.

More hurried footsteps were approaching them. Daisy raised her head and saw Duke and Belinda walking quickly towards her. Their faces were drenched with worry. They must have headed for the hospital in a hurry. Looking at all this, Daisy felt a lump in her throat. They were what people called friends! No matter how many times they had mocked each other, everyone was worried sick because of this sudden crisis. This was what real friendship looked like. They stood by each other through thick and thin.

"Are you alright, Daisy?" asked Belinda. She was a true friend. Belinda cared about Daisy the most. So when she saw Daisy sad and depressed, she immediately asked her in an anxious tone. She didn't even mention Edward who was on the operation table.

"Why would all of you come here, Belinda?" It seemed that Tom had informed them. After all, only a few people knew that Edward was severely injured.

"Girl, this is so critical and urgent. How could we just stay at home and wait?" They got a call from Rain and were able to get the information from him. However, the whole city was trapped in a massive jam. It was quite unusual to find this much traffic at midnight.

"Thank you!" Said Daisy. She did not know what else she could say to express her emotions except for these two words.

"Hey, girlfriend! We are best friends! Don't be so formal with me." Belinda softly hugged Daisy. She knew what Edward meant to Daisy. So she understood very well how helpless and afraid Daisy must be feeling. She had been chasing after him for so many years, and finally, she had succeed. But Edward was in terrible danger now. There must be a horrible stillness in her heart!

"Don't worry, Justin. Your dad is a good man. God will bless him, and he will live a long life." Rain sat down beside Justin. The usual cynical smile had disappeared from his face. Instead, he was being calm and composed which was quite different from his usual self.

"I know uncle Rain. I am not worried, because daddy is the greatest man ever and so is Uncle Tom. I trust them." Justin's childish words inspired everyone. Indeed, Tom was the best in the medical field. If he couldn't treat a bullet wound, they would be the first to ruin his reputation.

"How's it going inside?" Duke frowned and stared at the closed door intently as if he could see everything inside.

"I don't know. I just arrived. But no news means good news, right? It's probably going well." He arrived after the blood shortage conundrum had been averted. Otherwise, he would not have used the words "going well".

"Luke, how did this terrible situation occur? Aren't your security procedures always well-placed?" Duke said in a cold voice while looking at Luke. He didn't understand how Edward got hurt in the presence of his bodyguards.

"I was careless, I didn't send any bodyguards to follow him tonight." Luke openly admitted his mistake. He didn't make any excuses for his failure. His conscience wouldn't allow it.

"It's not Luke's fault. Those men were targeting me. He couldn't anticipate this. I am the one who should be blamed." Daisy was not as panicked as before. Her friends and family were caring about Edward and accompanying her, how could she be afraid now? So she immediately gave an explanation when she overheard their conversation.

Duke moved his lips but did not say anything. Actually, he didn't mean to blame Luke. He knew Luke was loyal to Edward, and he would rather get hurt himself than see something bad happen to Edward.

"How's it? How's it?" A girl rushed to them in haste. It was Leena. It was evident from the tear-stains on her face that she had been crying. She was carrying a large bag while raising her injured hand. Did she just finish shopping, but it was quite late! Or was she carrying something valuable with her?

"Why do you come here alone at such a late hour?" Duke reached out and held her slender body into his arms. He took the large bag from her hand. He wondered why Kevin didn't come with her. Going out so late at night was dangerous for a woman.

"Kevin told me and asked me to wait for him. He said he'd pick me up later. But I couldn't wait, so I came here alone." Leena knew that Mr. Cold would be blaming Kevin again in his heart. She instantly gave an explanation so no one would find fault with Kevin.

"Sis, don't worry. Tom will definitely return you a healthy Edward. Look at the wound on my hand. Tom treated it, and it is healing quickly," Leena said. She walked to Daisy to show her scalded hand. Tom's treatment was really effective, and the wound was getting better.

"Yes! I'm not worried, because all of you are here with me. He would be unwilling to leave us." Daisy touched Leena's head. In her eyes, this little girl could please everyone. No matter what happened, her sweet smile made other people feel a spring-like warmth.

"Yes, yes! Hold on, please. I brought you some clothes! You can take a warm shower in Tom's office and relax for a while. Then Edward can see a beautiful you once the operation is finished. Let me tell you a secret; Edward likes beauties!"

Leena raised herself on her tiptoes and whispered in Daisy's ear. Edward sounded like a lewd man in her words. Her arch eyebrows moved a little while she was talking to Daisy. She was genuinely adorable!

Her gesture was very thoughtful. "Daisy, you can go and tidy yourself up first. There're blood stains all over your clothes. At least, go and change your clothes. How can you take care of Edward wearing such filthy clothes?" Belinda lightly pinched Leena's cheek. Although Leena seemed like a young and naive girl, Belinda was surprised to see that she could be so considerate as well. No wonder so many people doted on her. Belinda felt that she didn't know Leena all that well!

"But I am anxious." Daisy looked at the "IN OPERATION" sign with hesitation. She knew she looked afflicted with all the bloodstains on her clothes. But she didn't have the nerve to leave before the operation finished. She wanted to stay close to Edward to make him feel how much she wanted him. She couldn't bring herself to leave.

"It's okay. We're here, aren't we? Take it easy. Just go and take a shower! Besides, you are a soldier. I think it is easy for you soldiers to take a quick shower, isn't it?" Belinda patted Daisy on the shoulder. She didn't know Daisy's clothes were bloodstained and wondered how Leena had anticipated that. No wonder Leena had brought a large bag with her.

"Let's go! I'll show you the way, Sis. I know where's Tom's office." Leena supported Daisy with her uninjured hand. She worried about Edward a lot, and she didn't want him to see his wife soaked in bloodstains. He would feel heartbroken. Daisy was the first woman he loved from the heart. So she had to take good care of Daisy, to repay the favors he had done to her through the years.

"Yes! Mom, I'm also here with Daddy. Don't worry! Think about it. Daddy has a fetish for cleanliness!" Seeing so many people around, Justin wasn't as depressed as before. He seemed relieved.

"Why is everyone here?" Cynthia and Jonathan returned just when everyone was persuading Daisy. Cynthia was surprised to see all of them there. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Dad, are you okay?" Daisy looked gratefully at Jonathan's pale face. The man lying on the operation table was Jonathan's son. She couldn't help but feel grateful for everything.

"He's fine. I'll get him some blood-tonifying food later. Don't worry dear." Cynthia knew Jonathan wasn't the talkative kind. To prevent Daisy from overthinking about his silence, Cynthia intervened and tried to make up for his quietness.
