Every time she saw how much Kevin adored Belinda's baby, she would weep in the corner and keep all the tears to herself. It turned out that he couldn't really act like he didn't mind at all. She could see his eyes light up when he was with kids.
"Kevin, how about we adopt a child?" Leena suddenly proposed one day.
"Why? Aren't we good with our life now?" Kevin wasn't very excited about the idea. He didn't want to hurt her. This would cause much more stress to her and possibly drive a wedge into their marriage.
"Yes, we are. But I just think that you may want to have a child." The truth of the matter was, if they really adopted a child, she was not sure if she would handle it well.
"Don't think too much. You don't know how tiring it is to raise a child. Aren't you going to prepare the winter fashion show soon? Why not put more efforts on that?" Kevin embraced her and squeezed her into his arms. His brows furrowed. Did he do something wrong that had unwittingly hurt her? He wondered.
"Okay. I will listen to you." Cuddling up against him, Leena beamed. But deep inside, she felt cold as if there was a snow storm in her heart.
"I will go abroad next month and I will stay there for about eight weeks. Will it be okay for you to be here at home alone?" In fact, besides training, there would be competitions which would be as fierce as ever. They had to cross the rain forest and overcome life-and-death challenges. The one who held on until the last moment would be declared the winner.
"Huh? Is it a military task? Isn't it dangerous?" Leena backed a few steps. She was worried whether his body could cope with it.
"A little dangerous. But don't worry, I will be very careful." As a soldier, it was his obligation to follow the orders. He couldn't have any other choices. But since he loved his job, he would stick to it until the very end.
"You'd better consult it with Tom. You just had surgery." Leena grabbed his cuff firmly. It was not that she didn't want to support his work. She just didn't want to see him get injured before he completely recovered.
"Okay, I'll call him later. Will that make you feel better now?" In fact, he also didn't want to make her worried. But military orders cannot be disobeyed. Moreover if he didn't go, the task would fall on Daisy. It was very dangerous and he didn't want Daisy to take the risk.
"No, I will ask him myself." Leena raised her chin slowly and arrogantly, showing disbelief in him.
"What, you don't trust me?" Kevin laughed. Was he a man with such a low credibility in her eyes? He wondered.
"Yes, I don't trust you." Leena blurted out bluntly.
"Okay." Since she was very concerned for his health and safety, Kevin just let her do whatever she wanted.
As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she happened to come across Patricia.
