My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

"Because you\'re acting strange. I mean, it\'s not like you or what you would do. I\'ve been your aide for many years and I\'ve never seen you like this. So I think maybe you\'re also severely ill, the kind that will affect one\'s behavior, which may probably explain why you\'re not yourself and acting weird." Mark said discreetly as he stole a nervous glance at Daisy. Although he was speaking the truth, he was afraid that Daisy would get upset and kick him. He couldn\'t fight back and attack his superior, so he\'d better prepare himself for some proper self-defense.

"Haha!" Edward couldn\'t help but burst into laughter, but it was soon interrupted by violent coughs. Edward was amused by Mark and his whimsical words. However, he laughed too loud that it tore the wound. He felt a sharp pain coming from his chest area all of a sudden and cold sweat began to form on his forehead as he coughed and panted heavily.

"Are you okay? How do you feel? Is it hurt?" As much as Daisy was annoyed that Edward was secretly gloating at her, she got nervous when she heard him coughing and saw him in pain. Instead of getting angry wi

never thought of that Daisy would just blurt out something ridiculous to lie to someone as simple and honest as Mark, who seemed to be convinced by Daisy\'s story. That was quite impressive.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Daisy looked away nervously to avoid eye contact with him. She acted as calmly as she could pretend, however, deep down, she was cursing Mark silently for a million time. If only they were in the army base right now! She would definitely punish him and make him do all the training programs to make him remember whose side he was on. Daisy thought that might be the only way Mark could learn his lesson, keep his mouth shut, and side with Daisy next time.

"Don\'t you think you owe me an explanation? Or do you think I\'ll actually believe that you ran into some bandits in a hospital which is well-equipped with security guards? Mark may buy your story, but I\'m not him. Do you think you can fool me with that lame explanation?" Edward had no intention of dropping the topic. He had to figure out who would be so bold and ignorant and desperately court his own death by attacking his beloved wife. Once he found out who the culprit was, Edward wouldn\'t mind finishing the person off himself.
