Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 177

"Aha! Tom, why do you always have sensible good manners?" Leena's joy was immense, and Tom glanced at her, spoiling her even more.

"Daisy, that's all right. Let me have a look at your wound first!" Tom bent over and skillfully undid the gauze; he frowned the moment he saw the wound.

"The wound is a little bit too deep, and it need stitching. Do you want the local anesthesia? It may cause some adverse reactions, but you won't feel any pain." Tom raised his head and stared at Daisy, and waited for her to answer.

"No anaesthesia, thanks. Just close the wound." Daisy was aware of the risks caused by the local anaesthesia, and because the wound wasn't that serious, she had to have only a few stitches done. She could handle the pain easily enough, because she had survived even more painful encounters over the years, both physical, and mental.

"Jerry, can't you give her the anaesthesia without the risks?

*In the animated series "Tom and Jerry", one of the main characters is a mouse named Jerry. Edward calls Tom Qin Jerry. It's painful without any!" said Edward. When he heard that she didn't need the local anaesthesia, he began to feel nervous. His heart throbbed, as if he were the one who had to be stitched instead.

"Aha! Jerry... this name sounds very domineering, but for a gentle and elegant person like you, this kind of name just sounds funny and ridiculous." Belinda couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the nickname.

Duke then pinched Belinda's wrist, and said, "Stop laughing, or he'll get mad at you!" Tom wasn't a weak person, and neither was he easy to be bullied. It was a disaster when he got mad, hence the nickname.

"You thought I was omnipotent?" Tom glanced at Belinda and slightly nodded his head, a gesture that could be regarded as a greeting. He then turned around, and roared at Edward, "Ignore him and let's get started!" Daisy stared at Edward, and because she had no opinion on the matter, she didn't know why Edward was so nervous.

"Daisy, there will be a bit of pain, but I'm sure you'll manage to get through it." Tom disinfected the wound again, and then he picked the sterilized needle and sewed her wound.

When Edward watched the needle in Tom's hand pass through Daisy's skin, he felt as if his heart had shattered into thousands of pieces. He grasped Daisy's arm firmly, and endured the pain together with her.

Daisy's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat because of the pain, and she had bitten her cherry pink lips without shedding a tear, just firmly gripping Edward's big and powerful hand. His heart ached to see her suffer like that.

Edward wiped Daisy's sweat, and in a low voice scolded Tom, "Could you be a little more gentle with the sowing? Can't you see that her face is pale because of the pain?"

"You don't say? Don't disturb me from my work!" Tom didn't care about his whining for a second, and instead concentrated even more on sewing Daisy's wound, and after he finished, he gave Edward a disdainful look, who was even more nervous and uneasy than the injured lady was. He continued to apply some medicine to her wound, and also wrapped it in a new gauze. After all of these things had been done, he sighed, relieved of his duty.

While he was packing his things, he said, "Daisy, keep the gauze away from water for a while. I will also give you some anti-inflammatory drugs." The way he said this showed his gentle and elegant personality.

"Yes, doctor Qin, thank you!" With a pale look on her face, Daisy thanked him, and gently smiled.

"Don't be so formal, just call me Tom." His smile was like a breath of fresh air, which made people involuntarily want to indulge in.

He knew something about Daisy, and although he was in a foreign country, he had heard someone mentioning something about her. He came to treat her wound out of curiosity, because he thought that she was mysterious. It was unexpected for him to find out that she was completely different from what he had thought her to be.

"Well, get out now!" Edward coldly gave Tom a fierce stare, but the man never forgot to show his invincible smile anywhere.

He sneered," I definitely know you son of a bitch will kick down the ladder once you have got what you want. You don't need to drive me away, and I will leave immediately. Considering I have just come back from the abroad, I have to sort out my luggage. Well, Daisy, see you next time."

There was some still noticeable fatigue on Tom's face, which was probably because of the jet lag.

"Let's go. Daisy, please have a good rest!" Duke pulled up Belinda, with a little warmth showing on his cold, stern face.

"Daisy, I will take Annie back first, and let her thank you again some other day." Rain lifted Annie to his chest, and smiled at Daisy thankfully, showing his noble temperament.

"What's up with you? Are you all leaving? Have you planned to despise me collectively? Why are you only saying goodbye to her, but not me?" Edward was very depressed. What did they mean with this? 'I'm the head of the family. Why on earth are they ignoring me?

Oh, damn it! I don't even care...' thought Edward. Edward's words caused a lot of hisses to be heard. They still ignored him, and soon left the house waving their hands at them.

"Bro, please wait for me!" Leena wasn't the least calm, and without any hesitation, she quickly ran out of the house, forgetting even to say goodbye to Daisy. What had happened to Duke? He left without bringing her, meaning that he had forgotten his little sister as soon as he had a wife.

Daisy looked around the quiet living room, feeling uneasy. Hadn't all of them left too fast? And all of a sudden?

On the other hand, Edward didn't have too many feelings or thoughts on them, because he had been already familiar with them.

"Well, now that all people are gone, come my dear wife, and let's deal with our own business!" Edward sluggishly played with some of her lock of hair, and playfully stared at Daisy.

"What business have to be dealt with?... I'm confused. Do we contradict on anything?" Daisy suspiciously frowned, and didn't reply to his words for the moment.

"Are you kidding me? Someone had given me absolute assurance. Do you need me to find a witness for you?" Edward laughed even more gracefully, and while he playfully stared at Daisy, the coldness of his eyes slowly began to seep into his stare.

"Uh! So... Where is Justin going?" Daisy deliberately answered Edward with another question, and tried to guess whether he was angry or not. What trick did he want to play on her?

"Please don't bring Justin in this. He's upstairs, taking a shower, to avoid Leena's continuous harassment. So now you could figure out the reason why Leena was so quiet just now.

Now, please don't try to avoid my question again." Edward clasped his hands together; it was clear that he was eager to hear her explanations.
