Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Do | Really Have to Kneel Before You?
Perhaps it’s because the hospital was covered in Daisy’s blood that day, logically speaking, the two-week
observation period was over, and Edward Stephens should have been discharged, yet his attending physician
waved his hand and kept him for another two weeks.
Though he repeatedly stressed that the blood wasn’t his, when Lady Stephens gazed at him with tearful eyes,
Edward could only curse Daisy as a nuisance in his heart and continue his hospital stay with a black cloud over
his head.
Emily Ginger didn’t dare to confront Daisy head-on, so she spent her days sneaking into the hospital to bring
Edward chicken soup. She, a rightful fiancée, had to act shadier than a mistress under Daisy’s domineering
presence.
Daisy didn’t mind as long as she didn’t see Emily when she went to the hospital.
After work that day, Daisy went to a nearby florist to buy a bouquet of sunflowers and visit Edward, who had
been hospitalized for almost a month.
She thought that after being in the hospital for so long, he must be bored out of his mind, and perhaps it was
tfor her to add sjoy to his life. As she reached the door, Lady Stephens’s voice suddenly pierced
through from inside the ward:
"Do | really have to kneel for you to listen to your mother?!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaisy's steps slightly paused at the doorway, hearing Lady Stephens speak with a sob: "Mom doesn’t want you
to die, Mom doesn’t want to watch you die with eyes wide open, can’t you just listen to Mom this once?"
"...It’s been so hard to have this chance, so hard to have hope, Edward, Mom is begging you, don’t let Mom's
heart ache like this! Seeing you in the hospital, seeing you bleed, Mom really can’t take it, do you want Mom to
die with you?"
Suppressing cries cfrom the ward, Daisy lowered her eyes, looking at the sunflowers cradled in her arms.
Sunflowers were Edward's favorite flower, he had said he liked their vibrant life force, yet now to avoid being
with her, he seemed to not even want his own life...
Suddenly, Edward's hoarse, tense voice was heard from the room: "Mom! What are you doing?! Get up!"
"Edward, please promise Mom!"
Daisy took a slow breath, planning to turn away, and as she looked up, she saw Emily Ginger standing across
from her.
She stood there, meeting Daisy’s gaze with slightly widened eyes, the delicate face of a little princess showing
clear disarray.
She held a thermos, likely there to bring something for Edward, yet had unexpectedly heard such a conversation.
