"Mr. Mu, what can I help you with? Are you okay? Is there anything wrong?" The nurse said softly. Because Edward put his index finger in front of his mouth to indicate her to be quiet.
"I'm okay, send for your director. I need to see him. Thanks, " Edward said, also in a low voice. He acted very politely, and he didn't show the slightest trace of putting on airs.
"Are you asking for the director? I'm afraid that these are his off-duty hours. He's not usually here. But since you asked, I'll go to his office and try my luck." The nurse walked out as soon as she finished her words. She knew that usually the director would not co to the hospital, except if there were special circumstances. She wondered whether Mr. Mu was one of those special cases.
Edward didn't worry that Tom wasn't here. Because he knew as long as he was there, Tom would not dare to go ho to sleep. Because it would take more ti for Tom to co from his place than coming from his office. So Edward predicted that Tom would stay at the hospital overnight in case Edward needed him at any ti. It was safer that way. Just like now, Edward happened to need Tom. Although he didn't know how long he had slept, Daisy had already fallen asleep with an exhausted look on her face, he was sure that it was past midnight now.
Just as Edward had predicted, Tom didn't head ho after he applied the dicine to Daisy's face. Instead, he slept in the lounge in his office. Because Edward was such a distinguished guest staying in the hospital, he had to gather his energy and be prepared to be called by Edward at any ti. Otherwise he w
stand bolt upright. Left to her own devices she slept lightly. One reason might be that the gunfight had consud most of her energy, and another might be that she didn't rest well, worried about Edward when he was still in a coma. And once Edward woke up, she suddenly felt relieved, so she could fall into a sound sleep now. She could make up for all the rest she didn't get.
"Easy for you to say. You're not the one bothering her. If she knocks my block off, I'll bla it on you." Tom looked at Edward with a somber look while approaching Daisy with small steps. He was doing it with desperation as if he were sacrificing himself by taking the tough stuff.
"Okay, I guarantee nothing will happen." Edward wore a cunning smile. There's no telling how Daisy would react when soone touched her. Edward would pay if he were wrong about this. Tom would avenge himself while checking on Edward. Maybe taking his temperature by putting the thermoter in a very uncomfortable place... Tom was a doctor, and he had plenty ways to deal with Edward who was unable to move now.
