"How's Hero now?" Daisy asked anxiously as she trotted into the hospital and saw the Warden.
Her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat though it was autumn.
"He is still in the operating room. He seems bad right now," the Warden answered.
It was then that a nurse ran out from the operating room. Seconds after that, the same nurse ran back with a bag of blood in her hand.
"Excuse me nurse, how's the patient?"
Daisy was so worried about Hero that she couldn't help but ask. She did nothing to stop the nurse from moving though.
"He is under emergency treatment. Please don't interfere with our work now," the nurse answered quickly.
Then she hurriedly went into the operating room and closed the door quickly.
"Don't worry, Colonel Ouyang. The doctor is doing his best."
The Warden said carefully without looking at Daisy. He had heard that the woman before him was the famous Devil Instructor of S City's military base. She was famous for being cold, ruthless, and relentless. That was the reason why he couldn't help but feel nervous when he faced her.
"How on earth are you doing your job? Don't you know how special he is? Why didn't you send more people to guard him?"
Daisy looked at the Warden coldly. She was unsure of his capacity to work.
"We've paid more attention to him than anyone. I honestly don't have a clue as to how he was able to commit suicide, "
The Warden explained anxiously. He was certain that he had done everything, thus he still couldn't believe what was going on.
"How about the guards who were guarding him at that time? Have you asked them what happened?" Daisy withdrew her freezing stare from the Warden. She knew that it wasn't the proper time to investigate and affix the responsibility.
"I haven't had the time to ask them. I followed the ambulance to the hospital as soon as I heard that he committed suicide." The Warden raised his head and looked at Daisy. But his glance didn't linger, he hurriedly averted his sight as soon as he saw how melancholic Daisy was. She really could be scary.
"All right. Ask them after the operation result comes out." Daisy gently massaged her forehead. She was getting drained just by leaning against that wall. How odd! Hero was still okay the last time she saw him. Why did he suddenly commit suicide?
"Here you are, colonel," said Mark. He came to Daisy and handed her mineral water. A frown got into his face upon seeing how pale she was.
"Thank you." Daisy opened the bottle and took a few drinks. S City's dry climate during autumn cracked her lips a bit.
"How about having a seat for a moment, Colonel? The operation won't end so quickly," he suggested. His duty as Daisy's guard was not only to keep her safe. He also needed to take good care of her at any time.
"No. I'll just stand here." Daisy did not move from where she was and just looked up to the red big sign hanging on the wall, 'In Surgery'.
A lot of people probably thought she was numb. That wasn't true, her heart was the softest. It was the reason why she could forgive those people who hurt her over and over. Hero once said that he loved her. She was grateful for it even though she did not feel the same for him. She couldn't just calm down knowing that Hero was in a bad shape.
Mark did not continue to persuade her after he noticed her persistence. He just took the bottle in her hand and stood next to her.
