It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 435

"Not very valuable. But it's very important to me. Thanks!" Daisy meditated a little and opened the box. She sighed with relief seeing it was kept complete. It was the only thing her mother left in the world. She couldn't get it lost anymore.

"Colonel, are you... okay?" Although he decided not to ask about Edward, he was still concerned about her. So he asked in a roundabout way.

"Oh! I'm fine. Put it in your bag! Bring it to my home later." Daisy handed the box back to Mark. Although she said it was not very valuable, it was an antique worth hundreds of millions of dollars. So she decided it was better not to carry it with her. She might lose it accidentally, and it would be a huge loss. She had spent a long time searching for it and finally found it. She couldn't be careless anymore.

"Yes. I'll take it back to your home and then return to the army base to get you the file." Mark put the box back to his briefcase carefully. Could he do any less? The Colonel said it was very important to her.

"File? What file?" Daisy frowned slightly. Didn't she let Kevin ask for a few days off for her? Why was there still some file she needed to deal with? Was it about the yearly elite soldier selection event? Was she appointed director again? She had assumed responsibility for this event for the past few years. Couldn't he appoint other person to do it this year? For example, he could use Hank, who always gave her a hard time, to handle the event. He had always wanted to participate in it. Just let him do it and he would know what a pain it was. Or he would always consider it light duty every year and taunt her due to some stupid thing or another.

"I don't know either. I received the phone call as soon as I arrived at the hospital gate. So I'll have to go back to the base again." Mark touched his head in sympathy. He didn't know what the file was about either and why it had to be handed to the Colonel right this moment.

"Okay. I see. Go get it, I guess." Although she was very worried about Edward's injury, she couldn't forget she was a soldier with duties. If the higher-ups told you to do something, you did it. After all, every soldier's duty was to obey orders.

"Yes, Colonel. I'm taking off." Mark made a standard salute with the sound of "pat". He turned and walked away at a steady pace. He made a sudden exit, just like his sudden arrival.

Daisy sighed resignedly, and kept walking towards the intensive care unit. She wouldn't shake this anxious feeling off until Edward woke up.

"Have you eaten anything, Mrs. Mu?" Mrs. Wu asked in a careful tone, seeing Daisy return so quickly.
