Edward moved over to the bedside and looked at Daisy with a tender expression on his face, as if she were a painting he never got tired of looking at. He was afraid that he would lose her one day. Daisy was always giving him surprises. He was touched.
Edward pinched her nose lightly. Daisy woke up, batting her long beautiful eyelashes. When she saw Edward, she closed her eyes again before suddenly sitting up in bed. But she had to lie back down because her body was so sore and numb.
"Slow down. No need to be so excited to see me." Edward joked with a charming smile, but Daisy wasn't attracted.
"Edward, what time is it? Why didn't you wake me up? Damn it. I'm late," Daisy said angrily. Edward seemed relaxed while she was sore all over. She felt a lot more tired than usual after training. She just wanted to keep lying down and not move at all.
"It's okay. Go back to sleep. I already asked for leave for you." Edward sat on the bed and comforted her. He patted her shoulder as if she were a baby.
"Really? Okay, I'll just sleep a while more. Then I'll go to work." Daisy mumbled. She held Edward's waist and stroked his arm. Feeling peaceful and safe in his presence, she soon fell asleep. Edward sat still helplessly. He wouldn't be able to keep the same position for long. After a while, his body would become stiff.
He sighed and climbed onto the bed. He lied down next to her and settled her head on his arm. He watched her quietly, feeling grateful to have her in his life. Otherwise, he would never have known what true love was.
Yakira and Mary spent the night in the police station. Every person who went in and out looked at them curiously. The intense humiliation they felt made them hate Daisy even more.
"Mom, it's morning already. Is that bitch really so ruthless as to keep us here all night? Forget dad. You are Brian's mom. He has always been good to her, she shouldn't have thrown us here! We're not even allowed to post bail. What the hell? Does she think we know nothing about the law? What's wrong with the legal counsel of Ouyang Foreign Trade? I called him so many times but he never answered the phone. Is he trying to get fired?"
Mary gritted every word through her teeth. Edward had been a sitting duck to her, but then Daisy came and ruined everything. After a night in the police station, her hatred grew. She had said those words to provoke her mother's hate for Daisy. She wanted Yakira to hate Daisy as much as she did, because Yakira was not a forgiving person. She would get back at whoever offended her. In that case, Yakira would still be Mary's ally and would keep helping her get Edward.
"Shut up! As my daughter, how can you be so dumb? Not only can you not hold onto a man, but also you're not perceptive at all!" Yakira was furious with how Mary had answered the police officer's questions. She had been stupid enough to admit to drugging Edward. She even asked how the police knew about it! Thinking of her foolish actions, Yakira couldn't help but snap at her.
"What about you? If you hadn't offended Edward, he wouldn't have hated me so much." Mary pursed her lips. She didn't find anything wrong with what she had done, and blamed it all on Yakira.
