It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 444

"I ran into some bandits." Daisy joked, which was rare. Since she had been smacked for defending herself, she didn't see the difference between the Ouyangs and some bandits. It felt like she was attacked by some bandits.

"What! Bandits? If they can hurt you in broad daylight, they must be good." Mark could be quick sometimes, but he was too trustful. Since he had never seen Daisy joke before, he took her words seriously without questioning.

Daisy twitched her mouth in resignation. She hadn't expected Mark to take her joke seriously. For the first time, she felt defeated by him.

"Daisy, this soldier of yours is hilarious!" For the first time since Edward got injured, Tom smiled. No one in his circle was as simple as Mark.

"Sorry about that." Daisy gave a smile. She found it hard to believe that Mark couldn't tell a joke from a serious remark.

"Colonel, did I say something wrong?" Hearing Tom's comment, Mark blushed with embarrassment.

"No, it's nothing. Did you bring me the file?" Daisy took a deep breath. She had to accept Mark for who he was. His ingenuousness didn't necessarily have to be a disadvantage.

"Yes, I did. Do you want it now?" Mark moved to take the file out of his briefcase.

"No. Give it to me later." Although Daisy was certain that Tom wouldn't be interested in the file, military documents were confidential. Even though she trusted Tom, she had to be responsible and observe discipline, which was fundamental to the code of conduct of a military officer.

"Tom, the patient's condition is stabilized. Shall we transfer him to the VVIP ward?" A paramedic came to seek Tom's medical advice.

"Good. Wait until I've checked his vital signs again." Tom stood up and left with the doctor. Daisy was thrilled to hear the good news.

The transfer was a simple procedure that took less than 20 minutes. Now that Daisy could be near Edward again, her eyes got wet with tears.

She reached out and took his hand in her palms, her heart racing. Without the respirator, she was able to see his face again. Looking at him affectionately, she was overwhelmed with gratitude and happiness. She felt like she had been apart from him for centuries.

"Daisy, Edward will be able to wake up within two or three hours, so don't worry too much. I'll be in my office. Come see me if you need anything," Taking the stethoscope off his ears, Tom spoke quietly. He didn't have the heart to disturb her happiness at the moment, but he hoped he could ease her worries.

"Okay. Thank you. Go back to your work," Daisy replied, keeping a tight hold on Edward's hand.

"If Edward comes around, let me know. I'll give him a thorough examination." Although operations for the other patients had been postponed until after tomorrow, he needed to prepare in advance. Now that Edward was out of danger, Tom felt relieved and could go back to his office and get some work done.

"All right." Daisy nodded. She watched Tom leave before turning back to Edward. Gradually, the other doctors and nurses also left the ward. Only Mark remained with Daisy in case she needed him.

"Colonel, was Mr. Mu badly injured?" Mark asked, unaware of how inappropriate it was to speak right now. But Daisy was used to his personality, so she didn't find Mark disruptive to her peaceful moment with Edward.

"Yes, he was. That's why he hasn't woken up after the operation yet." Since Mark had been working with Daisy for a long time, she didn't intend to hide the truth from him.
