After thinking for a while, Daisy then dialed Luke's number. "The subscriber you dialed is busy now, please dial later." The same busy signal came from his phone too. Daisy frowned, and she could no longer stay in her room. She got up and hurried to the study, opening the computer to find whether there was any latest report of air crash or terrorist attack, and so on. After surfing all the news websites, fortunately, she found that no such mishap happened. She felt a little relaxed. At least, Edward was safe. He might just be in a no signal zone, Daisy thought to herself.
A long night passed, Daisy could not fall asleep at all. She woke up with puffy eyes in the morning. Daisy went downstairs with ruffled hair and baggy eyes. She thought of having a simple breakfast before she could leave for work. Unfortunately, on her way to the dining room, she came across Jonathan, who was going out for some sports. Her weary and untidy look gave Jonathan a big shock.
"Good morning, Dad." Daisy was in no mood to look in the mirror after she got up. So, she did not know how she looked like at the moment. She was so confused and lost that she did not even understand why Jonathan could not endure to look at her straight.
"Hmmm. Morning. Don't work too hard. Daisy! Take care of yourself. See what you have become now, especially look at your eyes." Jonathan shook his head, frowning and walking out.
Daisy felt puzzled even now. She touched her face but couldn't understand what was wrong with it. 'What is wrong with my face?', Daisy thought to herself. Why did Jonathan suddenly come up with such a sentence to her?
"Mrs. Mu, come here. I have already prepared some breakfast for you." Mrs. Wu caught sight of Daisy and waved to her. If Daisy was at home, Mrs. Wu would always prepare Daisy's breakfast in advance, because Daisy always left earlier than the other people in the house.
"Alright! Morning, Mrs. Wu. I am coming " Daisy gazed at Jonathan's receding distant figure. She still could not understand why Jonathan said that. Anyway, she ignored it and walked towards the dining room.
"Oh, Mrs. Mu. What's the matter with you? Look at your eyes. And your face looks so pale. Also look at your hair. You did not get good sleep last night, right?" Mrs. Wu screamed just when Daisy entered the dining room.
"What's wrong with my eyes?" Daisy felt even more puzzled now on Mrs. Wu's series of questions. What's wrong with her eyess? Why was everyone pointing at them?
"Daisy, didn't you look at yourself in the mirror this morning?" Mrs. Wu looked at Daisy curiously. This was so weird. How couldn't Daisy notice such an obvious thing?
"Uh! No, I did not look at myself in the mirror this morning. What's up?" Daisy said with an innocent look. She was completely confused now,. She looked at Mrs. Wu straight with her beautiful shining eyes, hoping Mrs. Wu could clear her doubts.
