Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 236 I Will Meet You At The Hospital (Part One)

"Tom, are you available tomorrow? I'll meet you at the hospital." As soon as he got off the phone with

Justin, Edward decided to arrange an appointment with Tom. Tom was an all-around doctor, a

recognised authority in medical circles of S City, and to schedule an appointment with him wasn't easy.

Sometimes he would decide whether or not to take on a patient according to his moods. In any case,

Tom was the equivalent of a rockstar in the medical circles.

"Um! Tomorrow morning would be fine. I'll be waiting." As a doctor who had also taken part in that

surgery years ago, Tom knew clearly what the appointment was all about. So many years had passed

that even he couldn't guarantee that the surgery still worked. It was best for Edward to take a thorough

check-up.

"Okay. Rain, I need you to corner the construction materials market, and control Lin Group's supply in

this industry. Do it first thing tomorrow and make sure that no one hears about it. I need to see the

results the morning after tomorrow." Edward narrowed his eyes threateningly; if Jessica dared to mess

with him and hurt Daisy, then she should also be ready to pay the price. He would return her the favor.

"Got it. Edward, how about the project we're working on with the Lin Group? Should I call it to a halt?"

Rain knew immediately that Edward was going to attack. Normally, bullying small or medium

enterprises wasn't an option for Edward. Considering that establishing a company was not easy, and

that their staff were innocent, Edward always went easy on them. It looked like this time Jessica had

really crossed the line. With the supply cut off, the Lin Group would have a rough time, but Edward still

showed them some mercy, and left them much leeway in the retail industry.

With a cold sneer, Edward said, "No, keep it. I can play a good game with it." Now he was the cunning

smiling businessman again. Cancelling this project would be too obvious and would raise some red

flags, and the Lin Group didn't have to know that he was the one that ruled everything from behind the

curtain.

"Okay, I can enjoy a good fight." Rain loved to have fun, and since he disliked Jessica, it would only

bring him even more joy to have her in trouble.

Edward filled his glass and gulped the wine. He felt as though his heart were burned with fire, and his

guilt drowned him when he heard Belinda and Daisy's accusations. Every word cut like a knife, but he

couldn't undo the harm that he had caused. The only thing he could do was to seize the future, and to

try make things better.

This time, none of Edward's friends tried to stop him from drinking because they all knew that Edward

was shocked from what he had heard today. Anyone that would have been in his place would have

been equally overwhelmed and stricken with pain, and he needed the alcohol to numb his feelings.

By the time he left Sexy World, Edward was already pretty drunk. As soon as Luke saw him walk out of This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

the box, he hurried to hold the young master from falling from his feet. Luke couldn't help but frown at

the strong smell of wine coming from him, and wondered 'How much did he drink?' because he usually

held his drink pretty well.

Duke was a little worried, and as he held Belinda by her waist, he asked, "Luke, Edward drank too

much tonight. Can you handle this all by yourself?" Edward was usually quiet and docile when he got

drunk, and he wouldn't do any crazy things or cause any trouble.

"Yes, I'll be fine. We'll leave now." Luke placed Edward inside the car and fastened the safety belt for

him. He then nodded to the others, got in the car, and drove away.

"Duke, do you think that I might have overdone it a little? You know, for a long time Edward didn't even

know who Daisy was. His parents had arranged the marriage without even him knowing about it. No

wonder at first he was against it." Belinda didn't like Edward for many things but, truth be told, she

couldn't chalk up all the debts to Edward's account. He hadn't tried to seduce Daisy, or force her to love

him, but Daisy had fallen for him at first sight.

"Don't worry, Edward will understand. What you said was unknown to all of us. Edward's life isn't as

easy as it appears. Born into a rich family, and his parents had little time for him because they were too

busy building their empire, so he was always in the danger of being abducted. It's a strange thing for

him to open his heart; he doesn't care about anyone, let alone love someone, but I can tell that he's

serious about Daisy, because I never saw him get angry because of a woman."

Duke lightly sighed. He was not trying to justify what Edward did. He just could feel the sadness

Edward felt. Everyone had seen Edward's bright appearance and decadent lifestyle, but few had

noticed that he was just trying to escape the deep desolate feeling that was haunting him.

He hadn't received that much love and attention from his parents during his childhood. Edward rarely

saw them. He had been sent abroad to study when he was a child, only to have the company entrusted

to him on his return. His parents had decided to take a trip around the world and to leave everything up

to him, returning only once to arrange for his wedding.

In the past six years they hadn't come back once, and Edward again lived all by himself like an orphan.

Edward and his parents had never spent long periods of time together, and just like Daisy, he had

never really felt the warmth and comfort of a family. It was very natural for Edward to defy the marriage

arranged by his parents, but unfortunately for Daisy, she had become the victim of his resentment.

Neon lights flashed on and off, making the city look glamorous and alluring in the night. There weren't

too many cars on the streets at that hour, and a luxurious Maybach sped on the free road, with Luke

inside it, constantly frowning. He had known that this would happen, and he had urged his young

master from the start to go home and rest. The last time he had seen his young master get so drunk

was when his parents had tricked him to get back home and take over the company.
