The sunlight cast a soft glow on the pure white snow, making the icy little flakes glitter like white crystals on a bright day. It was a cold but fine winter morning. Inside the Grand Apartment, Leena was helping Kevin prepare to go to work. "Okay. It's freezing outside and don't get a cold. Drive slowly. Be safe," Kevin said as he double-checked everything. He was good to go. But before he left, he just could not be more careful about his wife. How Kevin wished that he could take Leena with him whenever and wherever he could ever since he knew about her pregnancy. He was very anxious and wanted to be around her all the time.
"I'll be fine, Kevin. Don't worry too much about me. Go now. Or you'll be late," She said as she gently smiled at him. Leena had never imagined that Kevin, a strict and serious soldier, would become the emotional and loquacious man that he was now, especially when Leena also had to go out herself.
"Call or message me when you get back, okay?" Kevin said as he gave her a peck on the cheek. He could not just feel easy when Leena went out alone in her delicate condition.
"If you continue to be so talkative, you're really gonna be late for work," Leena chided him like he was a naughty boy. Leena prodded him out of the door, urging him to go. Otherwise, they would take long again and Kevin might never even get out of their apartment.
Kevin couldn't do anything else but lower his head in defeat at his wife's gentle pushing. He gently kissed her soft lips before he said goodbye and went out to work.
Leena watched his car going until it disappeared into the distance. After that, she took a quick shower and got ready. She chose a simple and comfortable outfit and since she didn't like being in the farmers' market due to the pungent smell in some areas, she brought a mask to help with that. Sometimes she still felt like she wanted to vomit, especially with her pregnancy.
Leena took her car to the market. The scenery outside was nice and peaceful with the snow making everything look pure and white. At first, she had no clue how to choose good chicken with firm flesh to make tasty soup, so she asked Giselle for help. She considered it to be an important thing she could at least do for Patricia, so it was why she set out to buy ingredients.
She was a really kind-hearted person. Being nice was fundamental to her as she never thought of bearing any ill will towards others. This gentleness and kindness had become her most characteristic traits. It was no wonder that her friends and family all loved her so much.
Tom's father, the former president of Renxin Hospital, named his grandson Eden. He wished his grandson to live a delightful life and not to be trapped in any darkness.
