It'll Come Naturally

"Wait. What do you mean? Did you just say that I am a shit?" With her hands on her hips, Patricia gritted her teeth and glared at Tom with dislike. She might be a head shorter than him but that didn't stop her from being aggressive.

"I didn't say that. However, I won't refuse it if you insist on that meaning," replied Tom as he yanked the door open. He shot Patricia a cold look and then went into his car. He didn't have any plans of staying here any longer. He honestly just wanted to leave. "Damn it! Stop right there!" Patricia sputtered and shouted at him loudly. She had never expected him to play a trick on her at all.

"Well, I'm leaving! You can enjoy your time and stay here alone!" Tom screamed back as he started the car. It didn't take long when his car suddenly shot out of the place in full speed and disappeared, thus, leaving Patricia extremely angry.

"Shoot! What a disgusting jerk! He is not even a gentleman at all!" shrieked Patricia on the top of her lungs. Her face was all red with how angry she was. She unwittingly kicked the car next to her in full force and the action jarred the poor car's alarm to an exploding noise! The scandalous sound made her immediately hop into her own car and drive away as fast as she could.

It was usual for Tom to visit Edward's house. It wasn't the first time for him to be called here by Edward. In fact, he was actually so used to doing this already. However, he wasn't expecting the stabbing glare that Edward shot him with the moment he said that he wasn't able to bring any anesthetic.

"Hey! Don't glare at me like that! It's totally an accident. I am also a victim, okay?" Tom looked away from Edward. He hated it when Edward was glaring at him this way. Why couldn't this man just be nicer and stop shooting him with such an angry stare? Didn't Edward get a clue that his eyes were giving him tiny heart attacks?

"It's okay. I can take it. Let's get started!" said Daisy with a smile. She seemed not to care about the anesthetic at all.

"It will hurt a lot. Are you sure you can take it?" asked Tom. He had always known that Daisy was a strong-willed woman. There was one time when he treated her injury without any anesthetic.

"Yes! I'll just ignore it," answered Daisy in a cold tone. For her, an aching soul was worse than any type of body pain.

"Ok. Edward, help me to keep her hand still," Tom said as he signaled Edward to hold and support Daisy.

"Damn it! Can't you go back and get some anesthetic?" However, Edward was extremely not comfortable with what Tom and Daisy agreed. He couldn't even imagine how painful would the procedure be once the needle passed through his wife's flesh!

"No. Do you think it's a piece of cake to obtain the anesthetic? It's not like the usual drug." said Tom sternly. He couldn't help but feel a bit angry. Daisy already said that she could take it. Why was Edward being so stubborn now? He just needed to do three stitches! He would be over with it soon! He wasn't even nervous about it at first but Edward's fuss was making him grow anxious.

"Don't take his words seriously. Let's start." Daisy turned to Tom. They had already caused trouble to the doctor when they asked him to come and deal with her wound. Edward should be thankful and should stop asking for too much.

'Oh, dumb lady!' Edward thought as he gritted his teeth. How could she not sense that he was worried about her? Was it even proper for her to ask Tom to ignore him? Fine! Anyway, she should be thankful that she was Daisy. She was the only one who could make him yield. Should she be some other person, he would have just thrown her out of his house.

Stitching without anesthetic was extremely painful. Despite Edward's support from behind, Daisy's face still turned pale and sweaty.

Tom did it as carefully as he could but Edward's presence and hard poke face made him a little nervous. He was worried that Edward might hit him anytime as he knew how much Edward ached for his wife. It was a relief that nothing happened and he finished his work smoothly.

A huge sigh of relief escaped Edward's chest when Tom finally finished. He felt like he was the one being stitched whenever Daisy trembled in pain. He was stiff the whole duration of the process as he was extremely anxious about his wife.

"Is it all done?" said Edward with a trembling voice. His anger for Daisy suddenly vanished. He was getting overwhelmed with the amount of pain he was feeling for her. If only it was possible, he would never want her to endure this much pain again. "Yes! Almost done. I'll just need to apply some medicine and then bandage the wound. Don't forget to go to the hospital tomorrow after work. We need to reapply the medicine in the afternoon." Tom couldn't even blurt the word 'no'. Edward had been glaring at him as if he would bite his head off any second.

"Ok. I get it. Thank you!" Daisy was soon calm and indifferent again. She still looked pale after the procedure but it didn't even chip anything from her usually heroic beauty.

"No big deal. Just remember to keep the wound dry. If there's nothing more to do here, then I'm driving back home. I have an operation to do tomorrow," said Tom as he tidied up his medical bag. He was asked to deal with many patients recently. Moreover, even his friends seemed to be getting hurt one by one. What was going on? Was this year the official year for injuries?

"Go back home! We won't keep you here." It was true that it wasn't Tom's fault that Daisy had to be hurt again due to the stitches. However, Edward couldn't help but remain angry at the doctor.

"I won't stay here even if you ask me to. Bye, Daisy!" said Tom as he quickly took his medical bag without any hesitation. He was a responsible doctor and he couldn't just let himself get stress before conducting operations. He needed to have a good rest tonight for him to be ready.

"Take care and bye." Daisy had always been polite. Thus, she stood up and watched Tom leave. She did not look away from him until the doctor disappeared from their living room. It was only after Tom was gone that she shot Edward with a dagger stare. Then she turned around and walked upstairs without even saying a single word.
