Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 462

"Mr. Mu, what can I help you with? Are you okay? Is there anything wrong?" The nurse said softly. Because Edward put his index finger in front of his mouth to indicate her to be quiet.

"I'm okay, send for your director. I need to see him. Thanks," Edward said, also in a low voice. He acted very politely, and he didn't show the slightest trace of putting on airs.

"Are you asking for the director? I'm afraid that these are his off-duty hours. He's not usually here. But since you asked, I'll go to his office and try my luck." The nurse walked out as soon as she finished her words. She knew that usually the director would not come to the hospital, except if there were special circumstances. She wondered whether Mr. Mu was one of those special cases.

Edward didn't worry that Tom wasn't here. Because he knew as long as he was there, Tom would not dare to go home to sleep. Because it would take more time for Tom to come from his place than coming from his office. So Edward predicted that Tom would stay at the hospital overnight in case Edward needed him at any time. It was safer that way. Just like now, Edward happened to need Tom. Although he didn't know how long he had slept, Daisy had already fallen asleep with an exhausted look on her face, he was sure that it was past midnight now.

Just as Edward had predicted, Tom didn't head home after he applied the medicine to Daisy's face. Instead, he slept in the lounge in his office. Because Edward was such a distinguished guest staying in the hospital, he had to gather his energy and be prepared to be called by Edward at any time. Otherwise he would not be sure whether his hospital could keep running as it did before. So this time when he received Edward's request, although he cursed Edward thousands of times in his heart, he still got up and went to Edward's ward.

"Edward, don't tell me you stay up late because you want to chat with me at this insane hour," Tom said with sleepy eyes. His steps were unsteady because of his drowsiness. Obviously, it was miserable to get up in the middle of the night.

"Hush! Lower your voice. Don't you see that Daisy is asleep?" Edward was irritated by Tom's sudden high volume. He was relieved when he noticed that Daisy was not awakened by him. Probably because she was too tired. She was still in a sound sleep.

"Oh! Daisy fell asleep." Tom scratched his head and lowered his voice. No harm, no foul. He didn't raise his voice intentionally.
