Chapter 465: Who Else Would You Want To Sleep With (part two)

Well, Edward admitted to himself that he was a bit chauvinistic most of the time, but that didn't make him an unreasonable man. He never forced his decisions on her, unless there was something that would harm her. And no matter how much Daisy enraged him, he would put up with it, and he never took it out on her. He took her as a challenge, one that he would slowly conquer with persistent efforts.

The next step required him to take care of a series of actions. First, he would teach Jessica and Hank a lesson for attacking Daisy. Then he would need to figure out a way to make Yakira turn herself in and confess what she had done to Grace. But he was also worried about Brian. Would Brian find the truth too harsh to absorb? He was so close to Daisy. The truth would break his heart. But that was something he couldn't avoid. After all, Daisy called the shots. In this scenario Edward was merely a projector that screened the truth.

Then Edward dragged his mind back to reality. He was getting completely ignored by Daisy. He had been staring at Daisy for so long, yet he didn't get a glimpse from her in return. Did that mean he was not as important as the work she was doing?

Now Edward shifted his eyes from Daisy to the blank ceiling. The first thing that ran through his head was that he must advise Tom to hang some interesting paintings on the ceiling so that people wouldn't feel as bored as he was feeling right now. At least they could stare at the pictures to kill time.

What are you looking at? You seem so serious." Daisy followed his look and found only the blank ceiling. Nothing else. She wondered what Edward was gaping at. Perhaps it was some ghost she couldn't see?

Humph!" Edward growled and turned his face to the other side once again. It seemed that he was still mad. He was being quite childish.

Ah, I'm so sleepy. My eyes can barely stay open." Daisy didn't take offense at Edward's attitude and buried her head into his arms. She was really exhausted as she had slept only for an hour.

Get on the bed." Edward ordered. He couldn't be cold-hearted towards Daisy. Daisy seemed to know him quite well, so she just acted intrepidly. He wondered whether it was a blessing or a curse.

With you?" Daisy asked hesitantly. That bed was bigger than the ones in the regular ward. But she didn't feel comfortable to let Edward, the patient, make room for her. As much as she loved sleeping in Edward's arms, Edward was severely injured, not her. She was afraid of bumping into his wound in her sleep. That could turn out to be bad for Edward. She usually slept in a still position. But what if she accidentally touched his wound? That was a possibility she had to take into account.

"Who else would you want to sleep with?" Edward smiled at Daisy playfully. He constantly pushed his agenda in front of Daisy. If she budged, even a little bit, it was enough to make him forget all the bad things she had done and he considered her the best again.

"Of course only you. You want me to go and get someone else?" Daisy replied, trying to cheer up Edward. She knew that she couldn't mess with him at this time as he had just undergone a major surgery. It would be better for his recovery if he stayed calm and composed.

Good girl. You're sleepy, right? Come on. Lie down here with me." Edward tried to make some room for Daisy, but he found that he could hardly move. 'Ah, what the hell. This is the VVIP ward, right? The price is high, yet the treatment is no better.' Edward cursed deep down.

But..." Daisy hesitated. She didn't think it was appropriate. Besides, what if the nurses came in later? How was she supposed to explain why she was lying on the bed with the patient? And she was an army officer. She had to be more careful with her behavior.

What? Are you worried about me raping you? Come on. I can't even move. You know this." Edward stared firmly at her and pondered, 'Daisy used to be bold and decisive. How did she become so hesitant? It's just getting on the bed and having a nap. What's taking her so long to consider it?'

"Come on. I'm not as shameless as you. At least I don't worry about that." Daisy stopped deliberating and lay down beside him. But she was cautious. She kept a proper distance from him, particularly his left hand with the IV drip.

Sleep tight. I'll be quiet." Edward soothed and caressed her hair. Edward knew that Daisy was madly in love with him, he could even determine this from her hair. She was aware that he liked women with long hair. That was why despite all the hassles she kept her long raven hair even in the military.

In his familiar arms, Daisy soon fell asleep as she was indeed exhausted. She had slept for less than four hours from the time Edward got shot to now.

Lazy bug." Edward stroked her nose affectionately without any worry of an attack in return because she always slept like a log in his arms. She wouldn't wake up no matter how much he caressed her. But he was quite confused why Tom got slammed by her just for touching her. He needed to ask her and figure it out after she woke up. That way he would know her better.
