"As you see, I am here, waiting for you. Come here, I'll help you put some medicine on the wound. The bandage might be wet after the shower," Edward said calmly, as if nothing had happened just minutes ago. Daisy also saw the medical kit beside him.
"Don't worry. I was very careful in the shower. I think it's okay. I can change the bandage tomorrow in the military medical room," Daisy said, a bit resistant. Because her wound wasn't that minor, as she claimed it to be. She didn't want to be bombarded by his hot temper again. The little voice coming from her heart told her that she should try and keep him away.
"Why are you being so resistant? Or maybe you're hiding something from me," Edward said as he touched the place where she kicked him before. This vicious woman, why would she kick the same place every time she got mad at him?
"Okay, I'll let you do it. But you need to promise me something. Don't get angry when you see it. You already got panicked and angry when I rolled up my sleeve." Daisy knew she couldn't escape. She had no choice but to take the bullet. So she decided to negotiate first and prepare him for what he was about to see. She really feared that without prior agreement, he would lose control again.
"Fine, I give you my word," Edward said and rolled his eyes. He assumed that she must have been seriously injured, otherwise she wouldn't make him promise such things. He was deeply concerned already. He worried that if he untied the bandage, the wound was even more serious than he imagined.
Daisy slightly bit her lip and then walked towards him. She sat down beside him and rolled up her sleeve again, lifting the injured arm in front of him. Meanwhile, she closed her eyes, ready to receive storm of howls.
"Are you as stupid as a pig? Why didn't you get a stitch? It's a deep wound. Okay, I have to send for Tom now. Huh, Daisy, couldn't you take better care of yourself and make me less worried?" Edward stood up furiously. Only in this way could he suppress the anger and keep his hands off her. Otherwise he really feared that he'd be too indignant and would strangle her.
"Don't bother Tom. You only have to apply some medicine and bind it up. Look, it's bleeding." Daisy thought that stitching the wound was troublesome, because she had to go to the hospital to take out the stitches when the wound was healed. That was why she asked the doctor in the military base not to give her stitches. But if Edward really sent for Tom, it would be unavoidable for her to receive stitches, and then the whole thing would become too complicated.
"You are not the one to decide anymore. Let's stop the bleeding first." Looking at the blood that kept coming out, Edward ground his teeth. His heart ached. But he had to bind the wound up and take care of his wife. Later he picked up the phone from the table and quickly made a call to Tom. Inevitably, Tom kept grumbling in the phone. But he still promised that he would arrive in half an hour.
