"Blood-tonifying? What do you mean? Uncle is also injured?" Rain had assumed that Edward's parents hadn't arrived yet. But judging from Daisy's words, Rain figured that they had come to the hospital much earlier. After all, they lived very near to the hospital. But why did Edward's father need to blood-tonify? He couldn't figure it out.
"Uncle Rain, that's because grandpa donated a lot of blood for dad." Justin said while sitting on Rain's lap and swinging his legs leisurely.
Justin's words turned all eyes on Edward's father, Jonathan. They knew him quite well and had always known that he didn't like Edward. So how come he gave his blood to his much-disliked son? Maybe it was solely because of the biological father-son bond?
"Why are you all looking at me? I'm not a freak." Jonathan frowned and looked back at them coldly. Though his face looked pale because of the blood drawing, his majestic aura still captured them.
"Grandpa, come and sit here." Justin slid down Rain's lap and pulled Jonathan to the seat near him. As he focused on his grandpa, he forgot about urging Daisy to shower.
"Sis Daisy, let's go. There are so many people here waiting to take care of Edward. You don't have to worry." Leena advised Daisy to get freshened up; she had already arranged her clothes. She brought the clothes not because she had expected Daisy would need a shower; she did it because Kevin had reminded her. That's why she brought one of her latest collection which she was going to gift Daisy anyway. She just gave it to her ahead of time.
"But.." Daisy looked at her messy clothes, then the operation room. She still didn't want to take a shower. She didn't want to be too far away from Edward.
"Aunt Cynthia, what do you say? Daisy needs to go freshening up, right? And the cuts on her face should be treated. Or they might get infected and ruin her face." Seeing Daisy's hesitation, Leena asked for Cynthia's help.
"Leena's right. Daisy, you should take a shower first. You will have to take care of Edward later. It'll be fairly tiring. Leena is being quite considerate."
Cynthia patted Daisy's shoulder to reassure her. Her pretty face showed her concern. Although Daisy was tough, she became vulnerable when it came to love.
Finally, Daisy yielded to their persuasion and took a shower. But she bathed so quick that it took less than ten minutes. It was obvious that she worried a great deal about Edward.
