"Let's go!" Jonathan was not planning on staying back to watch the Ouyang couple fight. He just wanted to light the fire, and he didn't care to extinguish it. Let them argue between themselves! Jonathan had no interest in staying any longer, and this was his mellow side as he had grown older. If the same situation had presented itself in the past, he wouldn't have wasted words on Yakira. Instead, he would have sent his bodyguards after her and left straight away.
"Yes." Daisy calmed herself and looked at Leo Ouyang with her perplexed eyes one last time. Giving a slightly sarcastic smile, she exited this tainted place with Jonathan Mu without turning back. Five hundred million. As a matter of fact, Daisy never realized that she was worth so much. But now that she knew all the facts, how would she keep her head high in front of Edward? It seemed to her that once again she had fallen into a boundless abyss, and once again she made her own cage.
"Daisy, what happened to you?" When Daisy and Jonathan reached back outside the ICU, Tom caught something unusual on her face and his casual look immediately disappeared and was replaced by an uneasy one.
"Oh! Nothing, I bumped it by accident." Daisy secretly examined Jonathan and bent down her head timidly. She was afraid that he would suddenly burst out and reveal the truth. After all, the man was an enigma.
"What's wrong? Let me take a look." Cynthia said as she approached Daisy. She gently lifted Daisy's face. The moment she saw the severe swelling on Daisy's face, Cynthia became worried like Tom did.
"What do you mean nothing? The whole side of your face is swollen. Tom, look at this. Put some ointment on her or use an ice pack or something. Such a serious injury must hurt really bad!" Cynthia's delicate face wrinkled with worry. It seemed as if an intolerably painful injury was inflicted on her, making her furrow with pain.
"Mom, it's nothing. Don't trouble Tom anymore. How's Edward? Is everything all right?" Daisy knew what she said might be able to fool Cynthia, but that didn't mean that she could fool Tom. If he could check out her face up close, then she would have nowhere to hide. That was why she tried to distract everyone by bringing up Edward's condition.
"He's not awake yet, but things are looking up, so you don't need to worry. Please let Tom take a look at your face! Otherwise, Edward would get agitated when he wakes up and sees you hurt like this." Cynthia was certainly treating Daisy as her own daughter. She showered Daisy with all her love. Seeing that her face was so severely injured, she couldn't just ignore it because she was concerned.
