Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1592 You're Going To Be A Father (Part Four)

Frustrated with herself, Leena admitted, "I'm just being childish. Don't think too much into it. I'm fine."

Honestly, she had no doubt that Kevin loved her, but she didn't know why she blurted out what she said

without a second thought. Even Leena could not explain what made her say things that would upset

her husband. But she couldn't help herself then. Her hormones were probably on overdrive because

she was pregnant.

"No, I understand. All right, stay here. I'll be right back," Kevin said kindly. He remembered Tom saying

that pregnant women were likely to have mood swings quite often. So no matter what unreasonable

things Leena said to him, he should not take them seriously. Kevin now knew she was not able to

control herself during certain instances.

Smiling sheepishly, Leena nodded at her husband. She was grateful that Kevin was very

understanding. If there was one thing she was sure of, it was that he would make a good father in the

future. Leena, for now, was only being dramatic.

Since Kevin did very well during his two-month training, he was given a week off from work. The break

allowed him to stay home and rest. More importantly, it gave him a chance to take good care of Leena.

He did everything to make his wife's life more convenient and happier, and she didn't even have to lift a

finger. If she wanted a certain kind of food, Kevin would either make it or buy it for her. He didn't allow

his wife to do any housework, and he treated Leena like a queen at home. Kevin had never been this

careful and considerate before.

"Why do I feel like you have more scars now than before? Did you get hurt again?" Leena asked

worriedly one day. He had removed his shirt in front of her and Leena saw fresh scars all over his body.

Her heart broke thinking that Kevin got badly hurt during training.

"I ran into some wild animals in the rain forest and got scratched trying to escape them," he answered.

What Kevin said was only partly true. He didn't dare tell his wife how ferocious those wild animals were

because he did not want to scare Leena and make her worry.

"What? Wild animals? How did you run into them? I thought there weren't any wild animals where you

were training," she said looking terrified. The whole time her husband was away, Leena believed there

were no wild animals in the rain forest where they underwent training. She thought Kevin would be safe

there.

"Of course there are still wild animals in the area where we train. That's how you make training more

challenging. You just didn't know about this before," Kevin explained. The rain forest training was

nothing like his daily training. It was harder than usual. Kevin didn't think there was any training that

could be harder than what he went through. The two months spent there was like a living hell. There

were always some tough soldiers who couldn't bear the training and chose to leave. Kevin had to admit

he also considered giving up once because it was simply too grueling. But he didn't quit. He was a

proud soldier and believed he could make it. No matter how hard it was, Kevin vowed not to give up.

He had to be strong and pull through.

Anxiously, Leena asked, "Kevin, is there going to be a training like this every year? And other than

yourself, is there no one else who can complete this program? Do you have to go every time?" Things

were no longer the same for Leena. This year's training was the same as last year's. But her feelings

had completely changed. Last year she was not in love with Kevin, so she didn't care much if he got

hurt undergoing such rigorous training. But that was then. Now, Leena was frightened at the thought of

Kevin getting hurt in training because love changed her perspective. If she could have her way, Leena

wouldn't agree to Kevin going back to training, especially since they were expecting a child. It would

devastate Leena if something happened to him there. It was then she realized that she could not live

without Kevin.

"I can't say for sure if there will be training like this every year," Kevin started. "But usually, there is. As

to your second question, besides Daisy and me, I don't think there's anybody else in the army base

qualified for that training. They are just not prepared for it." Yes, Kevin could ask others to take his

place in training. It would be a legitimate request. But he didn't want to. Because he knew they would

never make it. If they would only fail, Kevin would rather they didn't go at all. It had something to do

with their country's reputation as a military power. That was why he chose to go to the training himself.

"Oh... So, it's only you and Daisy," Leena said with a deflated spirit. The information made Leena worry

more. Like Kevin, Daisy was equally important to her. She was her brother's wife, and Leena knew

Edward loved Daisy very much. If anything happened to her, he would be heart-broken, and would

even possibly leave this world to be with his wife. If Kevin didn't go to the training, Daisy would

definitely go. But Leena didn't want to see Daisy hurt either, so it was truly a dilemma.

He frowned over Leena's low mutterings. Kevin felt his words already scared his pregnant wife. Yes,

the training was tough and dangerous, but Kevin knew he would make it out alive. Because up to now,

no one had died in the annual training. Some soldiers were severely injured, but there were no

casualties. So Leena didn't have to worry that something bad would happen to him.

"Nana, what are you thinking about?" he asked. Gently touching her shoulder, Kevin pulled Leena out

of her trance. He now knew for sure that his honesty frightened her.

She quickly snapped out of it and composed herself. "Oh, nothing. I just admire you and Daisy. You're Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

both exceptional, sacrificing for our country," Leena told her husband. She forced herself to smile

because she didn't want Kevin to see her worried. But deep inside, Leena was so anxious that she

couldn't help but think of the worst.

He turned Leena's face, so they were looking eye-to-eye. "Don't worry. Nothing will ever happen to me.

I will always be by your side, and our baby's, like the rings you're wearing around your neck. I promise I

will never leave you." He pulled her into his arms and gently held her. Kevin regretted ever telling her

things about his training. At that moment, he decided it was better to avoid such subjects in the future.

Her voice muffled, Leena said, "Kevin, if... If something bad should ever happen to you, please don't let

them tell me. I can't take it, and I mean that. Just let me think that you're at some place that's far, far

away, and that you're not really gone." Suddenly, she felt like crying. Leena was having difficulty in

controlling her feelings now. For the first time, she had been bothered by Kevin's occupation. Right this

moment, Leena wished her husband was not a soldier. She realized it was a very selfish thought

knowing how much Kevin loved what he did. But she didn't want him to get hurt.

"Silly girl. That day will never come, I promise. My work can be dangerous sometimes, I admit. But I will

definitely take care of myself for you and our baby. Besides, we're in a peaceful age. It's not like I'm

going to war," Kevin assured her. He was aware that accidents happened every day, but Kevin was

confident he would be able to take care of himself and stay out of danger. He didn't want Leena to

worry about him, especially because anxiety was not good for the baby's well-being. He vowed to

protect himself and his family, so Leena had nothing to worry about.
