Chapter 429: How Dare You Insult Me Like This (part two)

"What should we do now?" Compared with Aaron, Anna took the news better. Just not long ago Rain had mentioned in his conversation with Jessica that he would be in charge of FX International Group. She had guessed that maybe Mr. Mu was going to take a holiday and travel with Daisy. But she never thought this would happen.

"We have to keep the news under control. Make sure the media won't get wind of it. If anyone asks, Edward is on a business trip abroad." Rain ignored Aaron's words and gave his command decisively. He believed that their stock wouldn't take too much damage, but it was likely someone would want to exploit the opportunity and reap some benefit. He would like to err on the side of caution.

You're serious. How is Mr. Mu now?" Aaron realized how serious Rain was and soon knew this was not some joke. The fact that Edward did get hurt worried Aaron immediately.

"Of course I am serious. I'd have to have a pretty sick sense of humor to tell a lie like this. I can't do all the work. So everyone needs to stay sharp, especially you -- Edward's special assistant."

Rain rolled his eyes at Aaron. It was true that he liked to have fun, but he would never make jokes of someone's life. Life was too heavy a thing for him to make light of.

"Jeez! Can you just tell us how he is first?" Edward was the only one in the company Aaron would show any respect to. He had a very casual manner when he worked with other person, including Rain, the vice-president. They were all used to his bantering and joking. That was just how Aaron was.

"Do you have a problem with your ears? Didn't you hear what I just said? He is still in critical condition, " Rain raised his voice like Aaron did. This scene almost made Anna speechless. She couldn't help but twitch her mouth. What was the point of arguing about this? What they should do was to solve the problem they faced.

When can we visit him?" Aaron asked. Edward hired him right after his graduation. To Aaron, Edward was like family. Edward could be a little aggressive or manipulative occasionally, but he was a great boss, friendly and accessible, and never judged people by their positions.

Don't be too rash. Better to wait until he is out of critical condition. Now he is still in coma, our visit won't change that. At the moment, we'd better keep our minds on work." Rain was also anxious about Edward's condition. But he was no doctor, what he could do to support Edward was to make sure the company was running perfectly.

How could this happen? Luke is responsible for his protection. Edward has his bodyguards constantly protecting him, right?" Aaron tried to get a grip on himself, though he couldn't figure out why Edward was hurt under the protection of so many bodyguards. And he knew Luke wouldn't shirk his duties. How had this happened?

I don't know about that yet. Well, let's focus on work and just get everything done. You know what I asked you to do." In fact Rain did know some details, but he decided to simplify this matter. Something was safer kept hidden. Arms dealers seemed to live in different world, and it would be better for them to keep a safe distance.

Ok. I'm on it. I'll keep it quiet and contained." Aaron was certain that Rain was hiding something, but Rain must have a good reason for doing so, so Aaron just let it go. The most urgent priority, apparently, was to concentrate on their work.

"Anna, I need you to go over the agenda and delay all those unimportant matters." Rain had intended to delay purchasing Lin Group's stock. But since Jessica came here asking for a fight, she should be prepared for any possible outcome. He decided to make haste and buy her out as soon as he could. He hoped Miss Lin would enjoy the last days of her luxury life.

"Okay, I got it." Anna tightened her lips. Panic wouldn't do her any good. She had to calm down to get things done properly, especially when things were hard. She had to believe modern medicine would bring Edward back soon.

When both of them had gone, Rain sighed lightly. Daisy's question popped into his head, did he miss Annie? He missed her and he couldn't lie to himself.

During all these years, that lovely sweet girl always held a special place deep in his heart. When he finally met up with her again, he realized she had changed over the years, but still she was the one in his heart. Even so, at this moment he could only sit here, not sure how far away she was from him, wondering if he would ever see her again.

He rubbed his painfully throbbing forehead; he had not slept last night and stayed at hospital all the time before he could rush back home, took a quick shower and changed for work. But it was the situation troubled him rather than the fatigue.

He was surprised when he heard that Edward took a bullet for Daisy. Edward was such a proud man, it was hard to believe one day he would risk his life for a woman, but not very long ago it was also hard for Rain to imagine Edward could be so deeply in love with a woman.

Rain smiled when he thought of this. Edward was a man who didn't hesitate to act and never gave up on his goals. He was certain Edward would never hurt Daisy again after what she had been through all these years. It was certain that Edward would never love anyone else except Daisy all his life. This was Edward. He loved with all his heart and gave his all without reservation. When they were willing to die for each other, love was too weak a word to describe what they had.
