It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 746

"There is no need to ask. I like everything you cook for me. When have I ever complained about your cooking?" He took a look at the lovely breakfast before looking back at her with great affection, as if he could see no one else around but her.

"Come on, stop flattering me like that. Just dig in, or I might be really late." Seated herself beside him, Daisy began eating her own breakfast prepared by Mrs. Wu earlier. Everyone else in the house was still asleep, so Mrs. Wu made Daisy's and Mark's meals first. Everyone else's breakfast would be served about an hour later to make sure that they could enjoy it before it got cold. That was why Daisy made sure she cooked for Edward today.

"I thought you were heading to the hospital first," Edward asked with his mouth full. He had seen right through her.

"So, I guess this is one of the reasons why you insist on sending me to work?" Daisy stopped eating, turned around and looked at him with a frown.

"Well, you can guess." Edward still tried to hide it from her, even though she knew very well what he was up to. So he decided to play along under the circumstances.

"I guess there is no doubt about it, sir," smirked Daisy. She knew him well enough to read his mind. And most of the time, it was all up to her whether to blow his cover or not.

Edward smiled noncommittally, but a trace of slyness could be seen in his eyes. To be honest, even he himself had failed to explain why he would care about Hero. After all, that man could never pose any threat to him. Come to think of it, he thought that maybe it was because that Hero was sweet on Daisy. And this fact left him feeling uneasy. Daisy was his, and no one else's. Only Edward could have her.

It is true that everyone is special, but one might still find it disturbing when being compared to others. And what Edward feared the most now was being compared to Hero by Daisy. He had been feeling good about himself, but this time, he really got stressed out and worried that he might lose to Hero. Because he had to admit that Hero had sacrificed almost everything for Daisy. His love was so profound and selfless that even Edward was shocked by it.

So when they got to the hospital later and saw Hero's condition through the thick glass of the ICU, his heart trembled again. Hero seemed almost lifeless, with tubes attached to him all over. Edward had heard about his standing out and taking the fall, but he never expected that he would want to end this by suicide. If he was ever able to come around, Edward must ask him exactly what kind of emotions let him make the tough decisions.

"How is he now? And what did the doctor say?" Daisy asked the constables keeping watch outside. She had spent some time watching Hero, and this just left her with more questions.

"The doctor said that he was still in danger. And...it is unlikely that he'd ever wake up," one of the constables replied gingerly. He kept his head bowed low and avoided any eye contact with Daisy. Instead, he kept his gaze at the bottom of her army trousers.

"Are you telling me that he will remain in a vegetative state?" Daisy asked in a somewhat shaky voice, turning back to look at Hero. If that was the case, this man might prefer dying in peace now, she thought to herself. After all, that was why he committed suicide in the first place, wasn't it?

"The doctors said that they wouldn't rule it out," the other constable answered, holding his breath. They knew clearly who they were talking to, so they spoke every word with the utmost respect.
