"It's okay. I will go home to take a shower. What did Mark do? I saw him squirming through the 300-meter barbed wire alone at the training ground."
According to the past experiences, Kevin knew something was up. If Mark was doing the physical training alone, he must have made an unforgivable mistake and so Daisy had to punish him. What mistake did he make this time?
"He deserves it. It's a well-known fact that Hank is an expert in saving face, yet, he offended him. He just asked for trouble." Daisy knew that Mark was quite right and he didn't mean to contradict Hank, but Hank didn't think so.
"It doesn't matter. He has been idle for a long time. He needs some exercise lest his skills may not be as good as before. What's his punishment this time?"
Kevin was curious about what Mark's punishment was this time. Daisy always punished him in different ways, so Kevin was prying to know more about it.
"A full set of daily physical training. Am I being too cruel?" Daisy pushed the door open and walked in. Kevin followed her behind. She hadn't given the answer he wanted.
"Wow, it's a really strict punishment. After he finishes, he will be tired out." Kevin leisurely sat down on the couch as if it was his office.
"If I didn't punish him, do you think Hank would let him go? I will make some tea for you." Daisy turned to look back with a frown.
"Don't bother. I will leave now. I bet you have a lot of work to do. I won't bother you. By the way, has Mr. Mu recovered?" Kevin gave a soft smile. He sat cross-legged casually and cozily.
"Yes, he has recovered very well. He was discharged yesterday afternoon. Thank you for your concern." Daisy gave Kevin a cup of warm water with a bright smile. She felt warm at the mention of Edward.
"Glad to hear that he was discharged from the hospital so soon. He must have strong resistance to illness." Kevin took a sip of water. He detested his feelings in the face of Daisy's winsome manner at the beginning, but now he had become accustomed to it.
"Indeed. It was a bit beyond my expectations." Daisy was also confused about this. Ordinarily, any patient who had undergone the thoracotomy procedure couldn't be discharged so quickly, but Edward left the hospital as approved by Tom. Daisy didn't ask any questions. Going to the hospital every day had wearied her.
"Anyway, it's a piece of good news. I will go home. Carry on with your work." Kevin placed the cup on the tea table and stood up.
"Okay. Take a break before you resume work. Or you may run off your legs." After Edward got injured, Daisy began to feel worried about the people around her.
"Okay. Don't worry." Kevin walked away with a contented smile. He knew he couldn't fall in love with Daisy, but he enjoyed her occasional care. He didn't have any extreme demands. He cherished these small opportunities to get along with her.
Daisy bit her lip. After she discovered Kevin's love for her, she always felt sorry. No matter what kind of feelings he had for her, she would definitely let him down. She was faithful in love, so she didn't have feelings for any other man.
By now, Edward had already commenced his first plan after leaving the hospital. In a casual dress, he appeared in front of Luke. He looked handsome no matter what he wore. The clothing fitted him perfectly, giving him a dashing look.
"Mr. Mu, are you going out?" Luke asked. Edward was discharged from the hospital yesterday. And he was already beaming and buoyant in spirits as if he wasn't hospitalized before.
"Yeah. Didn't you say yesterday that Yakira would appear in Tender Whispers? Let's go meet her there." Edward grinned evilly. This chased away his depression from last night. After he listened to the recording, he asked Luke to keep watch on Yakira's movements. He had to know her well before he could defeat her.
"Mr. Mu, you have just recovered." Luke was worried. He didn't know if it would lead to something wrong. He was not a doctor. If something unexpected happened, what would he do?
"Relax. I just want to alleviate the boredom. Let's go and pick up Leena." Edward thought to himself, 'Yakira, you have enjoyed a carefree life for a really long time. It is time to make you suffer, or you will ruin my happy life."
