Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 854

"Okay, ask Leena to call Kevin. He is really worried about her." Belinda knew that Kevin was concerned for Leena. Kevin had never called Belinda personally before. Had it not been for his worry for his wife, he would not have called Belinda several times in such a short span.

"Fine. I'll ask her later. You are busy. We'll talk later. I have to get Leena some food." Duke glanced at the blackened porridge made by Gerard. He didn't dare give it to Leena to eat, fearing that she might get diarrhea before she even recovered from the cold.

"Okay. Keep in touch. Goodbye!" Belinda hung up and walked out of the office with her documents. Duke pursed his lips, turning to stare at Leena.

"Duke, why are you looking at me like that? It's scaring me." Leena frowned, wondering why Duke was acting so strangely.

"Take a look at your cell phone." Although Belinda had asked Duke to tell Leena to call Kevin, Duke was reluctant to swallow his pride. He let Leena find out herself that Kevin had called her.

"What's wrong with my phone?" Leena looked around for her cell phone. She finally found it lying under the quilt. She picked it up, finding that it was turned off. Perhaps she had accidentally pressed the shutdown button.

Duke thought, 'I figured she didn't hear the ring because of the fever. It turns out her phone was turned off. No wonder Kevin is anxious. If I were Kevin, I would be anxious too.' Duke turned to the kitchen without answering Leena.

Watching Duke go toward the kitchen, Leena turned on the phone. Just like she guessed, Kevin had made hundreds of calls to her. Leena smiled, remembering what she had said last night. At the moment, she didn't know if she should call him back.

'It must be afternoon there. Kevin would be at the army base. I would be interrupting his work if I call him now. Should I call him when he's free?' Leena wondered. Before Leena could decide whether or not she should call Kevin, her phone rang, startling her.

Kevin had been worrying about Leena for more than ten hours now. He had been unable to reach her. Although he knew that Duke had flown to Paris, he wasn't sure if he had arrived yet. What if something happened to her before then? 'Who is taking care of her?' Kevin kept wondering, trying to call Leena. However, her phone was turned off, which troubled him even more. Kevin never brought his phone with him when he was training Falcon, but today he had it with him as he wanted to call his wife in his spare time. Kevin made hundreds of phone calls, but couldn't get through. Unexpectedly, he succeeded in ringing her up this time. He was elated.

"Hey, Kevin," Leena said with a trace of timidity. 'Is he mad at me? He called me so many times. He must be really worried, ' she thought.

"Leena, how are you? Are you feeling better now?" Upon hearing Leena's soft voice, Kevin sighed in relief. He had no intention of blaming her this time.

"Yeah. I am much better now. I am sorry for troubling you. I didn't turn off my phone on purpose. It must have been an accident." Although Leena had woken up, she still felt weak. Her tone sounded particularly frail.

"I am glad you are fine. Have good rest, so that you recover faster. Can you do that?" Kevin whispered to Leena as he looked at the Falcon special soldiers who were driving along in the blaze.

"Are you ordering me?" In truth, Leena was so happy when she heard his words. However, she pouted, pretending to be annoyed with him.

"Will you obey my orders?" Kevin frowned. Suddenly, one of the vehicles tipped over on the ground. He hurriedly walked toward it, thinking, 'Damn it! Didn't I tell them to be careful? How did it overturn?'

"No." Leena smiled, imagining his anger upon hearing this.
