Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 174

Daisy lowered the car window to let the stench of alcohol out. Drunken people could really stink up a car. A breeze blew softly, wafting the smell away. And she was very curious about her passenger. She thought, ' If I'm right, this must be the third time I've seen her!

The first time, I almost ran her over; then, I saw her wandering lonely on the street. Now I'm picking her up. Every time I see her, she looks sad. She must have quite a story to tell.'

Daisy was driving carefully and smoothly. Then she felt the pain in her arm. She frowned and pondered, 'Is it worse than I thought?'

She then cast a glance at the wound which she bandaged in haste, and found that blood was beginning to flow past the rags. She hoped that the wound would not be so serious as to affect her performance in the military exercise.

As the car entered the villa, Luke came to meet her before the car stopped.

"Mrs. Mu, what happened? You're hurt!" he screamed when he saw Daisy's bleeding arm. 'How did that happen so quickly? She's in the military and skilled in the martial arts. Was she hurt by someone really dangerous?' thought Luke.

"Well! Nothing. It's not serious. Now help me get her out of the car." said Daisy casually. She was not worried about the wound now and she went to open the car door.

"It's her!" said Luke. He was shocked when he saw the woman on the car seat and wondered why she was in Daisy's car.

"What's up? You know her?" asked Daisy eagerly. She wanted to figure out who the woman was at least.

"Yes! If I'm right, it's Annie from the C Financial Group. But I don't know why she's here in the city." replied Luke. Luke had orders from Edward to ask around about a kidnapped woman. But Edward hadn't mentioned that the woman was Annie. He had no idea she was here.

"Eh? Isn't the C Financial Group in this city?" asked Daisy. She had never paid attention to any financial reports other than those concerned with Edward. So it's normal she didn't know where the C Group was located.

"No! It is a large listed company abroad and has existed for a long time. We have some business dealings with it. Annie seems to be involved with Rain." replied Luke. Being reticent, Luke had never uttered many words with others -- except Edward. Now he told everything he knew to Daisy. Maybe it was because she was Daisy, not other people.

"Well! Looks like I accidentally saved the right person." Daisy joked. Luke took Annie out of the car and Daisy closed the door. As she turned around, she saw a raging Edward.

"Honey, eh... I'm back." smiled Daisy fawningly. She hid her wounded arm behind her and thought, 'Oh my God. I promised that I wouldn't get hurt before I left home. Now I have blood all over my arm. I broke my promise.'

"Damn it. Daisy. Tell me what happened. Now!" shouted Edward. He strode toward her and grasped her wrist. When he saw the bleeding wound, his heart hurt.

"Is that the promise you gave me? Hum!" asked Edward. And he regretted it, 'I should have been with her. But I didn't. Because I thought it was a phone call from work. And I promised that I won't get in the way of her work.' He had been playing cards with his friends and ran out to meet Daisy as soon as the car rolled up.

He felt relieved when he saw her getting out of the car, but shocked when he noticed her bleeding arm. Feeling completely at a loss, he came to her without worrying about the woman and Luke.

"It's just a small cut. A bandage is OK." replied Daisy casually. She couldn't read his complicated thoughts and she thought Edward was angry because she had broken her promise.

"Mrs. Wu, call the family doctor." shouted Edward in a trembling voice. Everyone gathered when they heard Edward's loud voice. They were also shocked when they saw Daisy's bleeding arm, except for Justin. And all of them overlooked Annie.

"Daisy, how did you get hurt?" asked Belinda. She was so worried that she ran to her at once. And she wondered, 'How did Daisy, a seasoned fighter, get hurt in such a short time?'

"I'm good. It's just a small cut. Chill out." said Daisy. She smiled apologetically, and thought, 'It's not serious. Let's not make a big thing out of it. I'm embarrassed.'

"Shut up. How can a small cut bleed so profusely?" shouted Edward. He glared fiercely at Daisy who looked all nonchalant with her wound. And he frowned as if he was going to give her a good beating.

"Gosh! Let me see!" said Justin. Instead of being shocked, he looked like he barely cared. He ambled over to Daisy.

And he thought, 'Daddy is making a fuss! Mommy did first aid. The wound is not that serious. She's been hurt like this before a dozen times, maybe more. I'm just glad she's home safe and sound.'

"Excuse me, kid! You're not a doctor." said Leena. She now frowned on everything Justin said. Especially a moment ago when she knew that it was him who had reported her whereabouts to Mr. Cold. She decided it was time to play hardball with this little schemer.
