"However, good things never last. When the military exercise was over, Jessica came to me. It seemed as if she had arranged someone to spy on me and had learned about my every movement, because as soon as I got my phone back, I received her phone call. In the call, she arrogantly declared a war on me. What a coincidence. Why does every happy moment have to end with sorrow?"
Daisy had always thought that since Edward had loved Jessica so much, she must be both excellent in appearance and nature. However, since she started to deal with Jessica, she suddenly found out the woman was a mere brainless beauty, vulgar and thoroughly miserable. How could Edward keep Jessica around for so many years? At the time, she thought, perhaps Edward had a fetish for such women, or perhaps he was such a kind soul that he couldn't bear to abandon her because she had spent so many years accompanying him.
"Then I got my heart broken. She said she was pregnant, and you were the father. Do you know what I felt when I heard that? Do you have any idea that I was wounded deep in my soul? Although I was trying to be calm, and tried to stand in sharp opposition to her, not yielding an inch, in fact, I was horrified and scared. I was scared by her words again, and started to doubt you all over. It wasn't until you told me you'd had a vasectomy that I was a little bit reassured, but I didn't fully believe what you said, and I took the whole thing with a grain of salt."
Daisy stopped, and flashed a bitter smile. She had never wanted to show her inner world to him. There were so many things she would never have mentioned to him had it not been for this accident, and she certainly wouldn't spend so much time doing it. But what did she have now but time?
"When you rushed forward and took the bullet for me, my mind was blank. It all happened so fast. When you lost consciousness and fell from my arms, my heart stopped beating. I couldn't think or do anything. I was overwhelmed by the feeling that your love for me was so deep that it could cost your life."
It never occurred to Daisy that one day a man would be so desperate to ward off a deadly bullet for her with his body, let alone her only love in her life. She was shocked, but she did not feel a sliver of joy. If he had to risk his life to prove his love for her, she would rather not have his love. She'd rather him be healthy and not love her, instead of lie in coma in front of her.
"Oh, you have met Hawkeye. Perhaps you've only noticed the paint on his face. But tell you something, under all that paint, he's really handsome. What's more, his pecs are firm, and those washboard abs! Better than you, I'm afraid to say. You should understand here! If you don't wake up, well, everything will be beyond your control. Because there are so many handsome guys like him in the Falcon, all hand-picked by General Gu and me. If you don't believe me, just look in the mirror. You can see your wife loves you because of your handsome face. And that's also the only standard by which she chooses her soldiers."
Daisy threatened him fondly. Then she sighed. After all this, she could feel her lips cracking in thirst, but he did not respond to her at all. He was still lying so still. What did he think he was? Sleeping beauty? But she wasn't the princess charming, and couldn't wake him up with a kiss.
"Edward, I promise you, if you wake up, I will be nicer to you. I will call you dear, honey, baby as you have been longing for. If you want to hear it, you need to wake up quickly, otherwise the promise will be voided."
