Leena let all her tears out as soon as she got in the car. She drove the car around the city without a specific direction. It seemed that this trip to the capital city was just a big mistake. She shouldn't have rushed her essay for this. If she hadn't finished her essay so early, she wouldn't have come here and be treated like this. These awful things wouldn't have happened at all. If she hadn't finished her essay so early, she would have still been in Paris, the romantic and beautiful city.
It was just that all these were just wishful thinking. She was no prophet after all. So now, she was stuck here, trapped with these people. She didn't know what Louisa's purpose was before. It was different now though. That vicious woman's goal was to make her angry. Stupid as she was, she gave what Louisa wanted. That was how things ended up like this. She had no one to blame but herself. She was too trusting and too silly. That was why she had fallen for Louisa's trap.
Tears kept streaming down her face, but the ache in her heart never lessened. Instead, she felt more and more suffocated. She just wanted to love someone. Should it be this hard? Was it worth the sacrifices she made? She didn't have any answers to her own questions.
She wiped the tears that wouldn't stop falling. She wanted badly to drive directly to S City but she knew that she couldn't. Not only because of Kevin's family but also because of the ones who loved her deeply. There were many people who cared about her very much and she couldn't let them worry. Besides, it was also not safe for her to drive in such an unstable state. It was a long journey to S City after all.
The phone beside her kept ringing and she knew clearly who was calling. Nonetheless, she just didn't want to pick the phone up. She had no energy to deal with him now. She wasn't prepared to face him yet. Just for once, she wanted to get away from everyone.
Kevin was calling Leena non-stop while looking for her on every street. It was a pain that the capital city was such a big place. It wasn't easy to find her at all.
"Major General, do you think that Leena has driven back to S City?" Lee asked carefully. In fact, he had no idea what the hell had happened. He could tell that the Major General was deadly worried and anxious though. Thus, he knew that something bad must have occurred. Nonetheless, he didn't dare to pry, not now when he was seeing how stone cold Kevin's face was.
"No. I know her. She wouldn't do such a thing. She is not that impulsive." Kevin's eyebrows were deeply furrowed. Though Leena would act childish and throw a fit from time to time, he knew she wouldn't just leave the city and leave him behind. She was not that willful and heartless. She clearly knew the consequences of her actions, thus, she would never go back to S City at such a moment.
