Chapter 606: Don't Hurt My Son (part two)

Edward took his car key and headed out. He wasn't the type of person to sit around and wait. He knew he would only feel reassured after he went out and figured it all by himself.

"Edward, where are you rushing? There's an important document that needs to be concluded!" Rain shouted at Edward's back with a surprised look. He looked at the files in his hands and shook his head since he couldn't stop Edward. He felt pathetic on having to do the extra work over the weekend. What's worse? He was now being ignored by his boss directly.

Never mind, he thought. At least, he'd already known that Annie was safe and she just didn't want to go home for the time being. It was enough for him to know this. They would meet again if they were destined to be together. No! He must rather create his own destiny even if they couldn't meet. Because Annie had been a thorn in his heart, something he couldn't just pull out and throw away.

"Luke, call my dad and ask him if Daisy is with him. I tried to call her and Justin, but couldn't get through." Edward met Luke and asked him to do it for him as he incessantly called Daisy.

Okay. I'll call him right away," Luke said. On seeing Edward this anxious, he got really nervous but he had no idea about what had happened.

Edward took a deep breath. He wanted to smash his phone in anger but he thought it over and dialed Mark's number.

"Hello, Mr. Mu. Is there anything I can help you with?" It was time for lunch at the army base. Mark pushed his lunch box a little further and asked slightly.

"Mark, is Daisy at the army base?" This was the only place he thought she might go to regardless of her injury. Apart from this, he couldn't come up with a reason of Daisy going out in her condition.

"No, she's not here! What? Isn't she at home?" Mark felt confused on hearing Edward's words. He came back to the army base for the rehearsals. Daisy didn't come with him because of her injury, and Edward already knew about it. 'Why would Mr. Mu think that the Colonel is here?' Mark thought to himself.

"Um! She's not home and her phone is turned off. I thought she might go back to the army base for something important. Never mind. I'll call someone else!" Edward finished and hung up the phone. Now, he was not just worried but rather frightened.

Mr. Mu, I called your dad. Mrs. Mu isn't with him either. He told me Justin wanted to play games with Mrs. Mu at home, so they went out without them. I suppose Mrs. Mu is with Justin right now. I think you should call your home phone."

Luke said with the phone in his hand, ready to call anybody Edward wanted. He didn't understand why they couldn't be connected all of a sudden. He wondered if they were enjoying their game time too much.

I've already called. Ms. Wu said they were not at home. You can ask the bodyguards if they saw them going out," Edward said while he was getting on the car. He called Belinda as soon as he sat on the chair.

Luke wasn't hesitant to do anything Edward requested for, because the more he heard, the more serious the entire thing looked to him.

Hey, Edward. Why are you calling my wife instead of having lunch with yours?" Duke ridiculed Edward impassively from the other side of the phone, the moment the line got connected.

I have got no time to play with you. Where is Belinda? I need to ask her something important," Edward said. He would have teased Luke as usual if things were normal. But at that moment all he cared about was Daisy and he didn't get the joke Duke made.

She's in the washroom. Why? Anything important?" Luke said. Usually, he never touched Belinda's phone. But when he saw the call was from Edward, he answered it.

Nothing. I just wondered if she is with Daisy. Now that she's with you and not Daisy, I have nothing further to ask." Edward pulled up his hair and became more worried with every passing minute.

"Did you have an argument with Daisy? Is she avoiding you?" Duke said. He didn't sense the anxiety in Edward's voice. In his opinion, Edward must have had an argument with Daisy, so he called Belinda for help. He thought it was a common thing for women to confide everything to their best friends. He believed, Edward might think in the same manner. Thinking of this, Duke couldn't help but sigh slightly. He was going through a similar situation. Since Rachel showed up, Belinda had behaved awkward with him.

"I would rather have her argue with me than disappear somewhere with no sign. Never mind. If she contacts Belinda, ask her to call me. Now I should call someone else." Edward finished and hung up the phone. He wondered who he should call next.

"Mr. Mu, I've asked the bodyguards. They told me that Mrs. Mu went out with Justin in a hurry, driving her VW. Luke said and frowned, standing outside Edward's car. He looked worried.

"Ok. You give orders right now. Make them search the whole city. Call me if you get anything concrete," Edward demanded. He lived up to his image of the rich, powerful CEO of a huge company. He knew his powers well.

Got it! I'll do it right away. Are you okay? Do you need any bodyguard with you?" Luke asked hesitantly. Though, S City seemed safe and peaceful, he still wanted to be cautious since Daisy went missing all of a sudden. He was afraid that it was an evil set up by someone. On the face of it, Daisy became a target, but their real final target must be Edward.

"I'm fine. All of them can carry out the search work. I'll call them again. Maybe they are just in a place with no signal. Perhaps I'll connect with them soon," Edward said. This was the only excuse he could use to soothe himself. Anyway, he didn't believe that any bad thing would happen to him again. After all, God wouldn't be unfair all the time.

"Well. Be careful. I'll keep you updated." Luke was still worried about Edward. He treated Edward like a baby and warned him about everything.

"Um! Go! I'll take care of myself." Edward dialed another number in the meantime. He worked out all possibilities to find Daisy. She never but once did something like this in the past. This was when she saw Jessica kissing him.

"Hello, this is Kevin." Kevin felt very puzzled on receiving this call. "Why is he calling me all of a sudden?" Kevin thought. He was so confused that he stopped what he was doing and listened to Edward carefully.

"I know it's you. I am just calling to ask if there is some special mission going on in your army base today. Or do you have anything important happening which needs Daisy to be around?" Edward asked cautiously, hoping Daisy was safe and at the base. He was in an entangled state of mind.

"No! At least, I haven't got any notification like that. Why do you ask me suddenly? Is there anything bad going on with Daisy?" Kevin said and frowned. He could feel something was wrong. Otherwise, Edward would never take the initiative to call him.

"I'm not sure. I can't reach her phone, so I'm a little worried," Edward said. He didn't plan to lie to Kevin. If something happened to Daisy, it wouldn't hurt him to get help from him.
