Edward Stephens came back not only carrying a pile of candy but also brought Lady Stephens along.
Lady Stephens had fallen seriously ill due to Edward's hospitalization from severe injuries, and she had only just recovered these days. Although she wore some makeup, her sallow complexion could hardly be concealed, making her look quite haggard.
Edward placed the pile of candy on Daisy Ginger's bedside table and said to the two women in the room, "You guys chat."
Then he opened the door and went out.
Lady Stephens glanced at Daisy Ginger's scarred wrists, her eyes reddened again. She walked over, sat by the bed, touched Daisy Ginger's hair, and softly called her name, "Daisy..."
She had learned about Daisy Ginger's illness from Edward and felt heartache. She hadn't slept well all night, feeling both distressed and a bit uneasy, and hurried here early this morning.
