"Oh! Will he come over if I ring the bell?" Daisy asked, her eyes filled with doubt. Her face was flushed with excitement. If he ignored the swollen half of her face, she looked really lovely and attractive.
"Of course. Unless you're eager to leave me." In Edward's world, everyone bent to his will. He was never in a situation wherein he had to accommodate himself to others. Not to mention that the person involved this time was Tom. He definitely wouldn't cater to Tom in any way.
"No, I don't want to leave you." The joy of getting Edward back got the best of her emotions and overpowered the principles she once held onto. Daisy didn't want to deny her true feelings. She didn't want to leave Edward for even a second.
Daisy's prompt reply dumbfounded Edward. He internally wondered when Daisy became so open about her feelings. She had always kept her emotions deep in her heart and seldom expressed herself to others. But this time, she blurted out her feelings without hesitation. He was overwhelmed by the sudden change in her attitude towards him. Did something happen while he was unconscious? What happened to her face? His question was still left unanswered.
"Are you okay? Do you feel any pain?" While Edward was shocked into silence, Daisy started getting anxious. She feared there were some side effects caused by the operation. If that was truly the case, she definitely couldn't handle another deadly blow.
"No, I was just thinking that you're very different from the Daisy I know. I'm shocked." Edward released her hand and gestured for her to sit down. With her standing in front of him like this, he felt as if they were separated by a great distance and everything seemed unreal.
"Very different? How about this?" Daisy hurriedly kissed his lips before her voice trailed off. This had plagued her mind for a long time. She didn't do it before because his face was covered by the respirator. Now that the respirator was gone, she had no scruples about doing this. She didn't feel embarrassed by her bold actions. After the incident, she realized that she shouldn't have any qualms if she really loved him. There was no need to care too much about her image and pride. Being shy and reserved was acceptable, but being ridiculously proud and pretentious would do more harm than good.
Edward didn't expect his wife to suddenly be so passionate with him. His eyes widened as he stared at her in disbelief. Where exactly did he get hurt? Was there something wrong with his eyes or his brain? The whole situation felt like a fantasy.
