NovelBookChapter 66: Chapter 66: So Close Yet So Far
Edward Stephens stopped the car, glanced at her, and spoke coldly, "Discharged early, hmm?"
Daisy Ginger was momentarily taken aback, fearing he was angry, she hurriedly explained, "My fever has
subsided, there's nothing much to do in the hospital, and it’s busy at the company, so..."
Edward Stephens opened the car door, got out, and interrupted Daisy Ginger’s explanation.
Daisy watched his tall figure walk towards the villa, feeling a bit flustered. She stood rooted to the spot,
anxiously calling out, "Edward!"
The man, who had taken a few steps forward, finally turned his head to glance at her. His gaze was cold, and his
tone was cool and indifferent, "My mother has worried about you being hospitalized all day. If you don’t care
about your health, then | won't tell her next time, so she doesn’t have to worry unnecessarily."
Daisy looked at his expression; her lips moved slightly, and she finally bit her lower lip helplessly, whispering,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I'm sorry, Edward... | won't make Aunt worry again."
Edward retracted his gaze, ignored her, and walked straight into the living room. Not long after, the gentle voice
of Lady Stephens cfrom inside the house.
Yesterday, he took care of her because he didn’t want Lady Stephens to worry. She had been pleased that he
stayed with her for a few hours.
Daisy took a deep breath until her chest and lungs felt cold, and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
The feeling of unrequited affection is truly humiliating.
Daisy stood still, taking a moment to organize her thoughts and emotions, ensuring that her expression didn’t
betray any unnatural emotion before she followed Edward into the house.
"Daisy, you're here. Go wash your hands, dinner is almost ready." Lady Stephens walked over with a gentle
smile, her long hair tied neatly at the back, looking warm and kind.
Daisy called out, "Aunt," and glanced at Edward sitting on the sofa. The man was lounging lazily, playing on his
phone, paying her no attention. Daisy felt a bit disappointed, nodded, and went to the bathroom to wash her
hands.
"Have a cup of fruit tea to warm your stomach." When she cout of the bathroom, Lady Stephens handed her
a cup of hot tea with a sweet peach flavor. Daisy took a sip, looked up, and smiled at Lady Stephens, "It's very
good, thank you, Aunt."
Seeing she liked it, Lady Stephens beceven happier. Edward's recovery from illness had wiped away the
subtle sadness in Lady Stephens’ eyes. In just a few months, she seemed ten years younger and was so good-
natured, gentle, and thoughtful that everyone acquainted with her couldn't help but like her.
No wonder Edward was angry.
To trouble a woman like Lady Stephens would make anyone feel irredeemably guilty.
Lady Stephens didn’t notice the atmosphere between Daisy and Edward, and the dinner was thoroughly
enjoyable. Daisy wanted to accompany Lady Stephens for a walk in the garden, but Lady Stephens kindly urged
her to go back to her room to rest early.
As she went upstairs, Edward was leaning against the doorway, enjoying the breeze. His tall figure was shrouded
in a layer of hazy color under the moonlight, making him seem ethereal.
From beginning to end, Edward never looked back at her.
Daisy stood there, quietly watching him for a moment before slowly withdrawing her gaze and slowly heading
upstairs.
The distance between people might be just a step, but the distance between hearts can be as vast as the
horizon.
How long would it take for her to return to Edward's heart?
