It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 582

Probably because the heat was most intense in the middle of the day, Edward could only see a few people in the park. From his point of view, the place looked more like a mountain than a park. Along the way, he had seen vast stretches of bushes, come across birds chirping melodious and soothing songs, and passed through woods where sunlight filtered through the tree leaves to create golden halos. The entire place was quiet, peaceful, and sweltering. For a moment, Edward thought that he was visiting a tropical rain forest.

After running continuously for a while, Edward found himself a bit exhausted. He stopped on a flat place, panting heavily. While he was trying to catch his breath, a familiar figure came into his sight. The woman was slowly moving down with her flowing white dress fluttering and dancing in the autumn breeze, like a fairy who lost her way deep in the mountains. Edward couldn't take his eyes off her.

By now, Daisy realized that her sprain was more serious than she thought. Half an hour had nearly passed and she had only trudged a short distance. How long before she could reach the bottom of the mountain at the speed of a tortoise? What a nightmare!

She sighed and wiped off the sweat brought out by the pain from her, and looked down at the seemingly endless road in frustration. Suddenly, she caught a pair of glaring eyes that stopped her thoughts. Then she saw Edward's darkened face. Startled by the intense look, she subconsciously took a step back, only to trip over a small stone. When her sprained ankle twisted again, she was unable to maintain her balance and fell on the ground.

"Be careful!" Edward exclaimed while rushing up to Daisy quickly. Although he was fuming with anger, he got very worried when he saw her tumble down.

"How did you know I am here?" Daisy asked, nearly moved to tears. Because she upheld her military training, she had been strong despite the pain and suffering she endured today. She believed that a soldier could shed blood and sweat, but never tears. But the moment she saw Edward, her nose couldn't help twitching. Although his expression was grim, the sight of his face comforted her.

"I didn't, I was only trying my luck. Are you alright?" Edward replied angrily. He was still infuriated, but he helped Daisy up as gently as possible. After all, it was a big relief to see her safe and sound. He finally relaxed the moment he touched her.

"I'm fine. Thank you, Edward. I'm glad to see you here anyway." Daisy didn't tell him about her sprained ankle. Instead, she stared at him with delight. His sudden appearance seemed to have relieved much of the pain she felt.

"Why didn't you wake me up? How could you come to such a remote place alone?" Edward still looked upset despite her pleasant smile. But he reached out to dust the dirt off her dress.
