It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 413

The armoured vehicle dashed towards the city. The piercing siren penetrated the cold night, petrifying the creatures of the vast wilderness. Daisy turned a deaf ear to her surroundings. Her heart beat fast as she was greatly concerned about the man lying on her chest. He was all she cared for now.

"Huh..." He slightly coughed in her arms. His sound was so weak, yet it still made her heart skip a beat. She was delighted to see his movement. It meant he was still alive. However, what happened the next second made her heart freeze. Daisy felt as if she couldn't breathe anymore.

"Mrs. Mu, it's getting worse. Mr. Mu is coughing up blood now. His nose is also full of blood." As he was facing Edward, Luke noticed what was going on straightaway.

"Hawkeye, floor it. Hurry up!" The distance seemed endless. Daisy's heart was heavy with heartache. She felt hopeless as the destination seemed impossible to reach. She hated to admit that she was weak and helpless. At this moment, a horrible desperation seized her. She had never been this petrified before, even when she was chased away by the Ouyang family.

"Yes, Colonel." Despite the vehicle already reaching top speed, Hawkeye still obeyed her command. He knew right now, the Colonel's attention was not on their speed at all, but on the heavily wounded handsome man in her arms.

"Honey, please don't scare me like this. You haven't finished the things you promised me yet. You can't leave me alone like this..." Daisy's hands trembled uncontrollably. She had never been this desperate. Even when she was walking between life and death, she was not this scared. She couldn't possibly figure out how to carry on with her own life if she ever lost him.

"I am so sorry! So sorry! So sorry! I... shouldn't have acted impulsively. I shouldn't... have stayed there and tried to teach Hawk a lesson. Otherwise, we could have retreated earlier and you wouldn't get hurt rescuing me."

Although she promised him that she would never say "sorry" to his face, she couldn't help apologizing to him right now. She only hoped that by saying sorry to him, things would go back to normal, to a time when he was still safe and sound. The guilt and remorse nearly broke her heart, and tears filled her eyes. She wanted nothing more than his companionship for a lifetime. As long as he could make it, she would rather him get annoyed by her mumbling "sorry" to his face, than see him lying motionless in her arms.

As if he heard her words, Edward's eyebrows slightly furrowed. His palm in her hands also moved a little. It seemed that he was really bothered by her apology. Even if he was heavily wounded, he still cared about the issue of hearing her saying sorry.

"Mrs. Mu, don't worry too much. Mr. Mu is a lucky man and he will survive this. We won't lose him." Luke was also petrified by the situation. He saw the preoccupied Daisy and felt greatly sorry for her. However, as a brave man, he must take control of the situation and remain calm. Right now, he needed to focus so he could attend to Edward better.

"Luke, are we there yet? Is everything gonna be alright?" Tears kept running down her cheeks. Daisy couldn't help crying. She cried as if life itself were going to end. All these years of hardship and sorrow flooded towards her, Daisy found it hard to wipe away the tears that refused to leave her eyes.

"We are entering the downtown area. I hope the road is smooth." Luke raised his eyebrow. He was concerned about the traffic in the city. Although it was midnight, the streets were still occasionally packed with cars. He was afraid that the traffic lights would also delay their progress.

"Hawkeye, please notify the city center of our location and apply for a green path." A green path meant that cops would block off intersections -- they wouldn't have to deal with other vehicles coming in from sidestreets. Daisy finally came to her senses and hastily gave orders to Hawkeye. It was critical that they could move along as smoothly as possible.

"Colonel, don't worry. Major General Gu has already approved the green path for us. Otherwise, we wouldn't be moving along this smoothly so far." Hawkeye knew Kevin well enough. The Major General was a man who paid great attention to elementary details. Therefore, it came to him as no surprise that as soon as they entered the city, each intersection was blocked by police cars with blaring lights. Behind them, the traffic was also efficiently stopped by the traffic officers.
