It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 627

"Have I been sleeping the whole time? Daisy frowned when she saw the man standing in front of her, with deep-set eyes, sunken cheeks, a furrowed face and un-groomed beard and hair. Hadn't he always been careful about his dress and appearance? Why had his habits changed so drastically?

"Not very long. But it seems like ages to me," said Edward sadly. He took her hands gently, and put them on his face, feeling her soft skin. He was so elated and relieved that he had forgotten how bad he looked right now.

"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry to have worried you." Daisy's mouth twitched slightly. She wanted to give Edward a broad smile and comfort him. But a fit of pain assaulted her, and nearly took her breath away.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt? I'll bring Tom in." Daisy's pain made Edward panic. He was about to turn around and rush to Tom.

"Don't bother. I'm fine. It hurts slightly when I try to smile," explained Daisy in a hurry. Meanwhile, her heart trembled. She was afraid that her face might have been marred by scars. Would Edward care if he had an ugly wife?

"Well, the wound on your face hasn't healed yet. It takes time. So you might feel pain from time to time. But believe me, you'll be fine." Edward shot a worried glance at Daisy. Although her health was much better through Tom's heroic efforts, Jessica had injured her face so badly that the wound hadn't scabbed. Due to immense guilt, Edward didn't dare to look Daisy in the eyes. However, as far as Daisy was concerned, Edward had deliberately avoided her glances because she now looked ugly, and he didn't love her any more.

"Am I that ugly? Am I disgusting?" Daisy suddenly went pale. She thought she must be disgustingly ugly, otherwise, Edward wouldn't have averted his eyes.

"Don't be silly. You're irreplaceable and beautiful no matter what you look like. I love you, darling. I love you forever. Now, get some rest." Edward bent over and kissed Daisy tenderly on her eyelids. As he said, Daisy was his one true love, and no other women could compete with her in his heart.

"I'm not being silly. I just said what all of you are thinking of right now." Daisy bit her lip slightly and sadly. She knew that human beings had the right to pursue whatever they believed was good and beautiful. So, she wasn't surprised at Edward's response.

"Do you really think of me that way? Am I a shallow and ungrateful man in your mind, who abandons his wife because of a scar on her face?" Although Edward had been well prepared to be doubted and teased by his wounded and sensitive wife, he still felt wronged and aggrieved when it actually happened. Did Daisy really think of him as a base and irresponsible husband?

"Edward, don't lie to yourself. Nobody's that saintly. Come on. I was once beautiful, and you loved me for it. Now, I'm hideous. And you can't accept a hideous wife. You know this. If I haven't disgusted you yet, I will one day. When that day comes, you might regret what you have said today." Daisy didn't think she was being unreasonable. People change, and their partners must change too. It was just a fact of life. Could Edward fall out of love? Anything was possible.

"Darling, have you lost confidence in yourself or in me? I'm confused. You shouldn't worry about those things. We should trust each other and believe that we can get through this together. So, be strong and confident. Don't lose yourself."

Edward couldn't give his wife a promise as good and convincing as the one she expected. Instead of spewing empty talk, he preferred to take good care of her, and show his true self to her. So, he chose to avoid making promises which might not be kept in the coming days, months and years.

"I'm not myself any more. I will become an unreasonable woman, and an annoying and disgusting element in your life." Daisy sounded disappointed, lonely, sad, downhearted and dispirited, as almost patients did in their sickbeds. They became sentimental and let their imagination run wild. Unfortunately, Daisy was a typical example.
