It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 448

"Well, it's no biggie. But...colonel, are you also ill?" Mark hesitated for a moment and finally spoke his mind. What he had witnessed was too shocking to believe. Was the woman with sly yet coy smile on her face who was passionately kissing Edward really his Colonel Daisy, the one who was known for her indifference and coldness in the military? Were it not for the fact that Mark saw it with his own eyes, he would never believe it. In fact, he was still doubting it.

"Why? What do you mean?" Daisy took the laptop and put it on the nearby table. Upon hearing Mark's question, she turned around and asked with a confused look. She didn't know what Mark meant or why he would suddenly think that she was ill.

"Because you're acting strange. I mean, it's not like you or what you would do. I've been your aide for many years and I've never seen you like this. So I think maybe you're also severely ill, the kind that will affect one's behavior, which may probably explain why you're not yourself and acting weird." Mark said discreetly as he stole a nervous glance at Daisy. Although he was speaking the truth, he was afraid that Daisy would get upset and kick him. He couldn't fight back and attack his superior, so he'd better prepare himself for some proper self-defense.

"Haha!" Edward couldn't help but burst into laughter, but it was soon interrupted by violent coughs. Edward was amused by Mark and his whimsical words. However, he laughed too loud that it tore the wound. He felt a sharp pain coming from his chest area all of a sudden and cold sweat began to form on his forehead as he coughed and panted heavily.

"Are you okay? How do you feel? Is it hurt?" As much as Daisy was annoyed that Edward was secretly gloating at her, she got nervous when she heard him coughing and saw him in pain. Instead of getting angry with him, she immediately leaned forward to check if he was okay.

"I'm fine. You guys can carry on." Edward said with a smile as he pursed his lips to replay the soft and intoxicate taste of her lips on his own just a few minutes ago. However, in Daisy's eyes, it felt like that he was flirting with her outright with such a move. She once again regretted her reckless move of kissing him. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt.

"You're gloating." Daisy glared at Edward as she spoke. Although Edward was pale and weary, lying in bed and not able to do anything, he could still enjoy seeing Daisy make a fool of herself. He was obviously amused by what he had seen, which irritated Daisy.
