Chapter 435: Chapter 385: Is this the restraint you’re talking about?

Kevin Clark’s injuries were too severe; his skin was bruised, and there were multiple wounds, some deep and some shallow.

The left forearm bone had a fracture.

Due to the heavy impact, his liver was bruised. There was also some minor bleeding in the stomach.

The injuries were very serious, and he needed a good recuperation. Otherwise, it could lead to some permanent injuries and complications.

Exhausted from mental and physical strain, he had been unconscious for three days and nights since leaving the operating room.

During this time, Daisy Zane had been staying with him in the hospital.

She had been personally in charge of changing and applying medicines to his wounds.

“Lady Zane, you should go back and rest. We’ll take care of things here,” said James Cooper.

“I’m fine,” she replied.

James watched her caring for Kevin.

Ever since Daisy arrived at Dark Radiance and saw Third Master in such a condition, she tamed down her usual demeanour by not crying, not making a fuss, and barely talking. Besides the oppressive, gloomy and hostile atmosphere that surrounded her, her reactions appeared too calm.

So calm that they hardly experienced her love for Third Master.

In fact, after Third Master was brought out of the operating room and the doctor informed them of his condition, she asked if they could paralyze him.

This frightened the doctor, who thought she was some sort of terrorist trying to harm Third Master.

However, she remained by his side throughout the three days, handling everything personally.

“Lady Zane, here’s breakfast,” James said as he placed the breakfast tray down.

“Alright, I’ll eat in a bit.”

As Daisy was wiping Kevin’s other hand, Kevin suddenly tightened his grip on her fingers.

She paused and looked up at his face.

A few seconds later, Kevin opened his eyes. With a weary and hazy look in his narrow eyes, he faintly said, “Little girl, go eat first.”

After he spoke, a violent hostility surged in Daisy’s calm eyes.

On the other side, James sensed the sudden rise of a killing intention.

He quickly turned to look at Daisy and saw her staring at Third Master. He hurriedly looked at Kevin and realized he had woken up.

Surprised, the hostility in James’s side subsided as he took a couple of steps towards the bed, “Third Master, you’re awake?”

Kevin seemed not to hear him, only looking at Daisy.

After a couple of seconds, she let go of his hand, pressed the bedside call button, and started walking out of the room.

Kevin instinctively wanted to follow her.

But before he could move, Daisy abruptly stopped and said, “If you move, you won’t see me tomorrow.”

Kevin immediately stopped.

The doctor arrived for a check-up as Daisy listened outside the ward.

All the medication for Kevin came from the Research Institute. His wounds, bruises, and even bone fractures would heal at least twice as fast as usual.

Since he had woken up, there was no further danger. All he needed now was proper care and recuperation.

After the doctor left, Daisy waited a while before re-entering the ward.

James raised the bed a bit, and Kevin leaned against the head of the bed, seeing her enter, he smiled, “Little girl.”

Daisy sat down beside the bed, her hands in her pockets, and asked, “Feeling better?”

James tactfully left the room and closed the door for them.

“Don’t worry, I know my limits,” he replied.

Daisy’s gaze swept over him, “Is this your idea of ‘limits’? How much longer were you planning to stay in there if I didn’t come?”

“Little girl,” he began.

“The doctor said your liver is bruised right now, and if it had been worse, it would have bled and required a partial removal of the liver,” her voice was soft but stern, “Kevin Clark, is this what you called ‘knowing your limits’?”

Kevin stared at her without a word.

Daisy took a deep breath, knowing she shouldn’t be angry with a patient, but not hitting him already took quite the restraint for her.

Otherwise, she would have to leave this place. But if she left now, Arthur North would definitely follow her, and in the end, it would still be Kevin Clark troubled by this.

She didn’t say anything more, and the ward fell silent.

Silence spread, centering around the two of them, spreading to every corner of the ward.

Arthur North looked at her for a moment and carefully called her name softly.

Daisy Zane ignored him.

With no one to talk to, Third Master Clark looked pitiful. A few seconds later, he struggled to move his hand to reach for something at the head of the bed. But he couldn’t twist his body, and his hand couldn’t reach it.

He tried twice but still couldn’t reach it.

Seeing this, Daisy Zane asked, “What are you trying to do?”

“It hurts. Call the doctor,” Arthur North’s tone was flat, with a hint of what seemed like grievance.

Daisy Zane pursed her lips and immediately got up to help him press the call bell, but before her hand touched the call bell, Arthur North suddenly held her arm with his good hand, pulling her back onto the bed.

Fearing she would crash into Arthur North, Daisy Zane could only use her hand to brace herself by the bed.

But Arthur North’s hand immediately went to the back of her neck, pressing her closer to him.

“You…”

Daisy Zane’s words didn’t come out as a curse, Arthur North pulled her toward him and kissed her directly.

Daisy Zane was stunned for a moment, and then tried to get up,

But Arthur North’s strength was too great, and she didn’t dare to resist forcefully for fear of hurting him.

In the end, she helplessly bit his lip.

She bit hard, and Arthur North shrank back a little, but didn’t let go of her, instead kissing her even tighter.

It wasn’t until Daisy Zane stopped resisting that his hand moved from her neck to her head, his fingers weaving through her hair, seemingly consoling her.

But… there was suddenly a noise at the door. Just the sound of the door opening made everyone feel tense.

Daisy Zane moved to get up, but Arthur North still didn’t let her go.

Then she heard Thomas Firway enter the room, “Third Master! I heard you woke up, I…”

As Thomas Firway entered and saw the scene, his mind went blank, but his first reaction was to quickly turn around and block Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon from coming in.

Then he hurriedly closed the door again.

“What’s going on?”

Because of the sudden retreat, Yoshua stepped on Edward’s foot. Edward was so in pain he could barely stand, leaning against the wall for support.

“Third Master just woke up, and there’s a lot to talk about with Third Brother. It’s not right for us to go in at this time,” Thomas Firway said, his face flushed.

Yoshua and Edward stared for a moment, and then both understood what was going on.

Then the two brothers silently sat in the chairs outside the ward.

Thomas Firway stood for a moment before sitting down as well.

Inside the room, Arthur North finally let go of Daisy Zane, kissed the corner of her mouth a couple of times, then raised his thumb to wipe the crystal clear saliva from her mouth.

Daisy Zane’s hand was propped against the bed, not getting up yet. She stared at Arthur North, her expression ready to fight him at any moment.

Arthur North also looked at her, stroking her face: “Don’t be angry, I know I was wrong.”

Daisy Zane stared at him for a while before lowering her gaze and sitting down at the side of the bed. “No need to say insincere words.”

“No, I really do know I was wrong.” Arthur North held her hand gently, squeezing it, “Don’t be angry anymore.”

These words were indeed sincere.

He deliberately left a half-month gap so his little girl wouldn’t worry.

But not only did he make her worry, but she also ended up taking care of him for three days here.

He could easily guess that it must have been Thomas Firway who called her to come. If he had known, he would have sent Thomas Firway away beforehand.

These people… were too concerned about him. How could he really risk his life like that?

He still had his wife to accompany him, so he had to be measured.

It was only three days compared to her year of training.

So, what was this compared to that?
