Chapter 43: Chapter 43 If you make me unhappy, I won’t let you be happy either

"Your situation is quite special right now. If a bone marrow transplant is possible, it’s best to do it as soon as possible."

"Finding a bone marrow donor with a match like Miss Ginger is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In medical terms, it’s nothing short of a miracle."

"Let’s schedule it for this weekend. In the next few days, try to relax, and we’ll contact you again on Friday."

...

Edward Stephens walked out of the attending physician’s office with his coat, lit a cigarette, and was still pondering the doctor’s words.

Ever since finding out about this illness and being exiled to Banyan City to wait for death, he never expected there would be a chance for a cure. He couldn’t imagine the reactions of those in his family, who were greedily eyeing his position, upon hearing this news.

He took a drag from his cigarette, smirked slightly, and a cool, sardonic smile appeared on his face.

As he reached the hospital entrance, about to stub out his cigarette and head home, he heard Daisy Ginger’s crisp voice in his ear: "Edward!"

Hearing this, Edward instinctively turned his head, only to find his arms suddenly filled with Daisy who had thrown herself at him.

"Edward, I’m hungry," she said, her voice slightly aggrieved. "Why did your medical check-up take so long?"

Edward pulled her out of his arms, his tone somewhat indifferent, "I never asked you to wait for me." Seeing her itching to cling to him again, he ordered, "Stand still!"

He couldn’t understand why someone her age was still so clingy.

"Oh." Daisy replied, pointing to a nearby western restaurant, "Let’s eat there." After walking for a while and noticing Edward hadn’t moved, she sneakily reached out and hooked one of his fingers.

"..." Edward glanced down at her hand, then at Daisy. He pursed his thin lips slightly but didn’t shake her off.
