It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 795

"Girls are trouble, but I find them cute. Why not let your hair down a bit?" Edward asked. He started warming up, starting with a few lunges. He thought he needed to introduce girls to Luke as a reward for his loyalty over the years. He enjoyed his happy marriage, so he also wanted Luke to have a family.

"No, I don't think so. They are trouble, and they only bring danger." Luke shivered with fear. The horrible things that Jessica and Mary did frightened him.

"Ha-ha! Well said. Don't let my mom hear you. Otherwise she'll make you suffer bitterly." Edward burst into laughter. If a girl fell in love with Luke, it would be a very tragic thing. He could easily guess what would happen. Luke would just stand there while his girl would be throwing things at him.

"Mom's still asleep. Don't worry," Luke said. Finishing up the curls he was doing, he replaced the dumbbell on the rack. Then he walked to a different part of the gym with Edward.

"It's hard to say. Women are everywhere. It's impossible to constantly fend them off. Eventually one's going to find a weak spot, and...you know..." Edward continued teasing Luke. In fact, in his eyes, the woman he loved was the most beautiful creature in the world. That didn't mean he couldn't have a little fun with his friend.

Luke twitched his lips. He didn't know what Edward meant. Did Edward want him to have a girlfriend or not? He was still single, but Edward said that to scare him, which made him dislike women even more.

After getting back from the gym, Edward took a shower and woke Daisy. Deep in his heart, he didn't want to wake her, but he was afraid that might get in the way of her career. A good officer never slept late.

After arriving at the hospital, Daisy went to see Hero first. Although he had come around, he was still recovering, so he wasn't conscious. The unit nurse said that he had just taken medicine and fallen asleep, so she left after staying for a while.

"Let's go." Daisy walked out of the ward, frowning. It was hard for Hero to knock at the gates of death. She felt sad, because he used to be known as a great guy. Now, he lay in bed alone.

Noticing Daisy's worried look, Edward asked, "how's Hero? Did something happen?" He entwined his fingers with hers and walked to Tom's office.

"No, he's all right. I just feel sad because he's all alone in the ICU. I wonder, what made him do that? Why would he fall in with that crowd? There are other ways to make a living." Daisy took a sidelong glance at Edward. As a man, would he have a different opinion?

"Well, men are different from women. In many cases, they take themselves way too seriously. They also get butthurt easily. Too often a stray comment goes into the wrong ear and they think other people are making fun of them. They want to matter, and they want to be successful, so they can laugh at their haters."

Edward forced a smile. Men were different from women. They appeared to be powerful, but inside, they were too fragile and vulnerable to accept failure, so they went to extremes. Of course, only a few men would do that. They couldn't bear others to look down on them, so they always did something ridiculous. For example, Hero cared so much about what others thought of him that he went to extremes and tried to commit suicide. He damn well near succeeded, too.

"How about you? Are you one of them?" Daisy touched her nose and looked at Edward with curiosity.
