"Should we put her on IV?" Edward ignored Tom's complaints. He furrowed his eyebrows in worry while he watched Tom mix the medicines.
"Yeah! The recovery will be faster. Help me steady her hand in case she makes any sudden movements." Tom signaled Edward to hold down Daisy's hand. If he missed the first attempt he would need to make another injection.
"Take it easy!" When Tom was pushing in the needle, Daisy frowned unconsciously. Edward felt empathetic towards her; he cautioned Tom to be careful. It seemed as if he was going to eat Tom.
"Please. It's just an injection. I am not performing surgery." Tom rolled his eyes. He carefully fastened the needle with medical gauze. People said that women lose their senses in love. But in this case, it seemed that this applied to men as well. Tom was looking at one such man right now.
"Cut the crap. Of course, I know it's just an injection. I'm just asking you to take it easy. Why are you arguing?" Edward was surprised by Tom's grouchy mood today. What made him so agitated?
Edward Mu had very conveniently forgotten that he had hit Tom moments ago. He shouldn't expect Tom to behave courteously. If it were someone else, they would have shut Edward up from the beginning.
"Buddy, do you think Daisy's made of wax? She's a soldier, OK? This tiny sting won't matter to her. What are you worrying about?" Tom didn't know what to do with Edward. It was only an injection; there was no reason for Edward to be so aggressive.
"What's all this noise..." A faint whisper interrupted the two bickering men. They both turned to the woman quietly lying on the bed, but they realized that she only uttered one sentence without any more movements. It seemed that Daisy was really disturbed, so she protested out of instinct.
"Here! Here are her meds. I've written down when to take them. It's your job to give them to her on time. This is the IV liquid, change it once this bottle is finished. This is an ice pack to lower her body temperature. You can help her cool down with this; it would make her more comfortable. I don't want to overstay my welcome, so the rest is up to you now!" Tom lowered his voice while giving the instructions. He had done his part. Daisy just needed to take his specially mixed medicines. By tomorrow morning, Edward would have his active and lovely wife back.
