"Sure. Who is injured?" Luke was getting nervous upon hearing Edward's words. He started the car and drove towards the hotel.
"Well, Daisy hurt her feet." Edward briefly explained the situation and then hung up the phone. He stepped on the accelerator and left the place, where he experienced both happiness and panic.
Daisy bit her lower lip, lost in thought. She had been too impulsive in the past few days. Was it because she had someone to rely on? She had been a calm and reasonable person all her life. But now she had allowed herself to be a wilful person.
"Hey, Daisy! What are you thinking about?" Edward paid attention to her even while driving. He was afraid that she hadn't forgiven him yet.
"I have changed a lot recently. I have become more wilful and acted like a spoilt child. I feel a bit uneasy about it."
Daisy sighed. People are never satisfied. In the past, she only wanted to have him by her side, but now, she wanted more.
"I know. You have become more emotional. I don't think it's a bad thing. On the contrary, you are more real to me. You are no more a ghost wrapped in a cold skin."
Edward didn't expect Daisy to have so many thoughts after he lost his temper on her. He felt guilty, and became more aware of the saying that females are fickle by nature.
"Bah! I'm not dead yet. I'm not a ghost." Daisy rolled her eyes at him, feeling more relieved.
When they reached the Jasmine Fragrance Hotel, they found Luke waiting at the entrance. On seeing the familiar license plate number, he immediately trotted towards the car.
"Mr. Mu, the doctor is waiting for you. Is Mrs. Mu seriously injured?" Luke asked anxiously when Edward got off the car.
"Well, she sprained her ankle. Ask the doctor to come over to my room and tell him about the condition." It would be better if Tom was here. Edward was worried that Daisy would be in great pain during the treatment.
"Got it. I'm going to tell him right away." Luke turned around and walked towards the hotel. Edward was a little amused by his swiftness. He paused for a while, and then opened the car door for Daisy.
"I'll walk it through myself." Daisy said in a light voice. There were too many people around, and she might get embarrassed to be carried by him.
"No! I can't agree with you on this." Before she could say anything, he bent down and picked her up. He closed the door with his foot as if it was just another ordinary car and not some luxurious car worthy of tens of millions of dollars. He walked towards the entrance with her in his arms.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman — they were a perfect match. People stared at them enviously. Daisy was a little embarrassed and buried her face into Edward's arms. She no longer wanted to escape from him.
"Oh my god! It's a very nasty wound." The doctor grumbled as he saw the sand and pebbles embedded in the soles of Daisy's feet. But when he saw Edward's gloomy face, he shut his mouth up and said no more.
"Mrs. Mu, I will remove the pebbles with tweezers first and then wash the sand off with hydrogen peroxide. I know it's going to be painful. Do you think you can stand it?" The doctor raised his head and asked Daisy.
"It's not a big deal. You can do it now." Daisy answered indifferently. It was just a minor wound for her. When she was carrying out a commission in a remote area before, she had undergone several serious injuries. There were no doctors or hospitals there and she had to deal with the wounds all by herself at that time. Therefore, she didn't think it was a big deal now.
"Doctor, aren't you going to use any anesthetic?" Edward asked nervously as he was very worried about her after hearing that it was going to be painful.
