"OK, fine. No need to do that. Police, I'll go with you." Yakira gave Edward an angry look. It was definitely all his fault to push her in such a bad situation. Why did he have to bother himself with such matters? Why did he have to investigate the things that happened 20 years ago? What did he gain out of all this? Could the dead come back to life by doing so?
"You two, come and take her back to the police station. Take note to put her through a thorough interrogation." Mr Yi, the chief of police, commanded this to the policemen beside him. It was improper for them to get involved in that kind of family affairs.
"Dad! Help Mom, please, help Mom! It was Daisy who rushed into our house armed with a gun. How could we let them take mom to the police station without any clear reason?" Mary helplessly pulled Leo's sleeves and murmured to him. Her mother was her only shelter in this family. It was certain that if Yakira really had anything to do with some unknown crime, Mary would never be able to live the luxurious life as a rich man's daughter. She even could not stay here comfortably.
"No one has wronged her in this, She always knows what she has done before. It is all her own fault. And she deserves it. Speaking of which, she must thank the police for taking her away from here. Otherwise, I am not sure what I will do to her in the future." Leo was reluctant to let Mary hold him tightly. As things had come to a point like this today, the situation was not something he wanted to see. But this was the consequence of her own evils that she had committed in the past. She had to swallow what she had reaped. No one would pay for her wrong doing.
As soon as Edward saw Daisy handing Yakira over to the hands of the police, he immediately stepped forward and held her tightly in his arms. Irrespective of what she just did was acting or real, he was frightened by her irrational behavior all this while. Hence he wanted to comfort Daisy and himself.
"I am sorry, dear." He heard Daisy gently murmur in his ears. Daisy knew what she had done. And to some extent, it was just too extreme. When she was on the way to Yakira's place, she really wanted to shoot Yakira and get rid of her immediately. But she successfully calmed herself down just few minutes before arrival. Moreover, as Edward said, she was a soldier, not a murderer. She pacified after making a call to Chief Yi with a car phone. Daisy explained him all that was going on, and let him come and arrest Yakira formally. However, she was still not willing to let her go so easily and wanted to do something to sooth her anger. Hence she decided to pull out this act.
"Never, never say sorry to me, honey. Your safety is the greatest consolation to me. I don't need anything else." After a deep and affectionate kiss on her forehead, Edward firmly hugged her, with both his hands holding onto her waist. He was still consumed with fear and was afraid that she might just disappear in thin air any second.
"Daisy, What kind of hatred do you have for my mother? Why do you want to send her to the police station again and again? What the hell is going on?" Mary suddenly ran up to Daisy and shouted. She wanted to angrily pull Daisy from Edward's arms. But this was in vain. Edward quickly turn around to protect Daisy and keep her safe in his arms.
