It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 732

"What time it is now?" Daisy ran her fingers through her hair. She asked to know how long she had been there.

"It's almost 6. I was wondering how long you were going to sleep." Edward spent his whole afternoon in the meeting room so he had no idea about when did Daisy arrive and how long she had been in his office.

"Really? It has already been this late?" Daisy's delicate face blushed soon as she looked up and caught Edward's lingering gaze at her.

"Why are you off duty so early today?" He pulled his hands away from her shoulders to smooth her hair and give her a quick kiss on the lips.

"I planned to go to the jail, but..." Daisy frowned, debating whether she should tell him or not.

"But? What's wrong?" His eyes were fixed on her. There was no way Daisy could escape from Edward's mind reading gaze.

"Hero tried to kill himself. I was informed of the news on my way to the jail this noon." Daisy bit her lips as she waited for Edward's response.

"Then how is he now? Is he gone?" Edward's face was devoid of any feeling as if he just heard something trivial. Actually, he really had nothing to do with the suicide. Hero was just a man who admired his wife. He couldn't care less if he lived or died.

However, what bothered him was how Daisy seemed to care about Hero. He could sense Daisy was trapped with sadness and it just showed that she was worried about Hero. It had nothing to do with love but her empathy towards Hero was disturbing. It put his mind in a turmoil but he tried to look peaceful so Daisy could express herself freely.

"The emergency treatment works, but he hasn't been out of danger yet." Daisy forced a smile but failed.

"Don't worry. It's said that evil things don't disappear easily. He will be fine." Edward seized Daisy round the shoulder and kissed her on the head. It made his heart ache to see that she was worried about another man.

"Maybe you are right. Okay, let's move on. Are you going to be off duty now?" Daisy had been wondering whether Hero would appear at S City if he hadn't been into her. The whole mess wouldn't happen if that was the case.

"Right. it's almost done. I just have a few papers left to check." He wouldn't force her if she wasn't in the mood to talk about Hero. Edward was ready to be Daisy's listener all the time because he loved her. He would never be too busy to listen to her. Maybe he would get jealous whenever Daisy talked about other men sometimes, but he would be totally fine as long as he knew that he was the only man for Daisy.

"Okay, I will let you alone. I am going to wash my face to refresh myself." Daisy said as she walked to the bathroom. She felt relieved after she shared her thoughts with Edward.

Edward looked at Daisy as she walked away, his mouth was in a thin line. He knew Daisy wasn't as cool as she looked. She was a very soft and considerable person. She couldn't just let everything go. She stopped talking about it only because she didn't want it to bother him anymore.

Edward sighed. He returned to his chair to work but couldn't get his inner peace back.

Daisy splashed water over her face, feeling its coldness spread over her skin. She felt way much peaceful.

She looked up at herself in the mirror with the droplets rolling down her face. Daisy forced a weak smile and dried her face with a towel.
