Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1551 Do You Even Know What You Did (Part One)

Kevin was quite strong because of his impeccable fitness regimen. With Tom's excellent medical

expertise, he recovered quickly. He was up and about only a week later.

"Major General, the soldiers are wondering if they can come and visit you. You know, they are very

worried about you." Lee traveled between the army base and the hospital every day to deliver

documents to Kevin. The major general still had work to do, even though he was confined to his bed.

However, his work was easier than usual.

"I'm very grateful for their kindness, but tell them not to bother. Inform them that I'm okay. They should

focus on their training right now. I'll fully recover soon. I just need some time to recuperate." Kevin

refused the soldiers' offer. They had good intentions, but Kevin was unwilling to keep them worrying.

"Okay. I'll tell them that. Would you like to read this document now?" Lee said, presenting the document

bag in his hand. He didn't know what the document was about as the bag was sealed. Obviously, it was

an important and confidential one. A guard such as him was not allowed to read it.

"Yes. Give it to me. Have the soldiers who went to the coastal city for earthquake relief come back

yet?" Kevin was ashamed even as he voiced the question. He had been injured at a critical moment

and could not give a hand in the earthquake-stricken area. However, the news that a major general

was buried underground had caused quite a sensation. Everyone in the city was shocked.

"They will be back in a few days. The rescue has come to an end. As for the rest, the government will

be responsible," Lee said respectfully. He did not want Kevin to burn the candle at both ends in

concern.

"The local people must have suffered much from this earthquake. There is a bank card in my desk

drawer. Donate all the money on it to them." What came from the people should be used to help the

people. Kevin decided to donate his salary of recent years to the injured civilians.

"Major General, there is no need for that. Leena has already contributed quite a large sum of money to

the cause," Lee said with a frown. As Kevin's bodyguard, he knew what card Kevin was talking about.

"What? Leena has made a donation? Of how much?" Kevin could hardly believe his ears. He didn't

imagine that Leena would bother herself with the livelihood of these people.

"More than ten million. I went with her for the donation." For Lee, who came from the countryside, ten

million was astronomical. He felt great respect for Leena when he saw Leena donate the amount so

generously. It was a small sum for the wealthy, but not all rich people were willing to give back to the

public.

"Oh, I see. Donate the money on my card too. It was very kind of her to make a donation. I want to

make one too." Money was merely a worldly possession. Kevin was satisfied as long as he had enough

to carry on with his life. He wasn't a miser by any means. Gains and losses did not matter much to him

in this regard.

"Okay. I'll do it when I go back." Lee pursed his lips. Kevin had made up his mind, so Lee had to

respect his decision.

"Good. Where is Leena? I haven't seen her this morning." Kevin frowned, wondering where his wife

had gone to so early.

"Well, she wanted to make some soup for you, so she went home. She knew I would be here." Lee had

received a call from Leena on his way to the hospital. She asked him to take care of Kevin and not to

rush back to the army base before she returned.

"Doesn't she know that I can't have soup right now?" It sounded like Kevin was complaining, but in

truth, his heart bubbled with happiness.

"You can have it now, Major General. Dr. Qin said that you can eat everything other than spicy food."

Lee laughed to himself. He knew that the major general was still sullen that he couldn't have the soup

Leena had cooked for him a few days ago.

"When did he say that? And why didn't he mention it to me?" Tom came to Kevin's ward several times a

day. He checked his wounds but never said anything to him!

"Last night. That's why Leena rushed to buy fresh ingredients early this morning." Lee touched his

temple lightly, wondering if he said something wrong.

"Oh, I see." Kevin took out the document from the bag and read it carefully. Seeing this, Lee decided

not to disturb him any longer and left for the small reception room outside.

Leena was a good cook. Her food brought water to people's mouths. Tom was no exception to it.

"Leena, could you teach Patricia how to cook when you have time?" Tom said to Leena out of the blue.

He had been suffering silently in recent times. Patricia was quite a lousy cook. It would be easy for her

to wait for dinner to get served, but she was hell bent on cooking these days. The food she cooked had

a nasty taste to it and was frankly unpalatable, but Tom didn't have the heart to tell her that. The

frustration was driving him mad.

"What? Why?" Leena asked curiously, halting in her actions. She had been ladling out the soup for

Kevin.

"Don't ask me why. If you don't want to see me lying on the hospital bed soon enough, you'd better do

as I said." He was not exaggerating. Patricia was terrible at cooking. It was a miracle that Tom was still

alive after eating the food she cooked. She was overconfident and tried to cook different dishes for him,

with no concern that he might get loose bowels. Did she want to murder him?

"Haha. Is it so serious? What has she done to make you so afraid of her?" Leena chuckled, shaking

her head. She assumed Tom was being dramatic.

"Ah. Forget it. Just remember what I said," Tom said as he picked up a large piece of spare rib. After a

long time, he finally got to have a delicious meal.

"All right. I will visit you once Kevin gets discharged from the hospital." Even though Tom didn't explain

it further, it was easy to figure out what was going on. Patricia was too cocksure of herself. She knew

she didn't have the talent for cooking. She didn't go to the training class like Michelle. She just tried to

cook as she liked. Instead of pleasing Tom, it was scaring him away.

"Don't tell her that I asked you to do it." It was not that Tom was a hen-pecked husband. He just didn't

want to upset Patricia. He didn't have the heart to disappoint her, so he couldn't tell her the truth. Tom

seemed to be cold to most people but transformed into a gentleman in front of his wife.

"I know. I'm not stupid. Don't worry," Leena reassured him smugly.

"Get over yourself. You know you're good. I don't want to praise you." Tom rolled his eyes at Leena.

Her meticulousness was obvious to all. Everyone knew she was a good cook.

"Hehe. You know it's my virtue." Was she being cheeky? Not at all. It was not wrong to admit one's

strong points.

Kevin watched the interaction between Leena and Tom affectionately but didn't join in. He knew his wife

quite well, so he didn't need to express his personal opinions.

Half a month passed before Kevin recovered and left the hospital. He had not yet regained his full

strength but it didn't hinder his work. However, he still couldn't undertake strenuous exercise.

He had promised his mother to take Leena to the capital city, so the day after he was discharged from

the hospital, he boarded a flight with his wife. The trip was too long and arduous for him, so they chose

not to travel by car, unlike before.

Shannon was very pleased to see the two of them back. Nathan was as pensive as ever, but as soon

as he saw Leena, his face grew visibly softer. Still, it was obvious from what he said next that he was

furious.

"Do you even know what you did?" Nathan's words were directed to Leena. His tone sounded more

accusatory than angry or worried.

"Dad, sorry for worrying you." Leena looked down toward the floor. She was the one to run away from

home in the first place, so it was only right that Nathan blamed her. He was her father-in-law. It was his

right as an elder.

"Don't run away from home again. Be a better wife. Look how thin Kevin is!" Nathan didn't actually

mean what he said. He had been anxious to death when Leena had run away, but now that she was

here, he couldn't help but lay the blame on her. In truth, he just didn't know how to express his concern.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
