Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1770 Daisy Changed Her Mind (Part Three)

When Kevin stealthily went up the stairs and slowly opened the bedroom door, he turned on the night

light and saw his beautiful wife and cute son sound asleep. Happiness flooded his chest, and he felt

reinvigorated.

He walked over to the bedside quietly, careful not to wake his family up. He skillfully dodged the various

toys strewn about. When he reached the bedside, he kissed both Leena and Richard on the forehead.

Richard didn't wake from this, while Leena murmured something and turned, her eyes still closed.

Kevin smiled at this and walked towards the bathroom. His arm was still injured, so he made sure not

to get the affected area wet. So it took more time to shower than usual.

After being satisfied, he washed away all the dirt and grime, turned the valve off and stepped out the

shower to dry his hair. A smiling face welcomed him. Leena was standing by the door.

"Did I wake you up?" Kevin stopped drying his hair immediately and skillfully put the towel on his arm in

an attempt to cover the wound up. As the gauze and towel were both white, it was difficult to notice the

gauze under the dim bathroom lights.

"No, you didn't actually. I'm just so thirsty, so I got up to drink water." Leena was still groggy, talking with

her eyes still half open. She still had trouble adjusting to the light.

"Alright, you stay put. I'll get you a glass of water," he offered. He had originally thought she was still

sound asleep, so he hadn't brought his pajamas into the bathroom with him. He could only send her

away with an excuse so that he could wear long pajamas to cover his wound.

"Hey, it's okay. I'll go grab it myself. When did you get back? Have you eaten?" Leena slowly went back

to normal. When she and Kevin were newlyweds, she would feel shy seeing his half-naked body. But

now, she was already used to it.

"I just arrived, actually and just took a bath. Also, I ate already." Kevin wanted to take his beautiful wife

in his arms and just hug her real tight, but he wouldn't dare move, for fear she would notice his wound

instantly.

"Go and get dressed already. You might catch a cold being all naked like that," Leena said with a frown.

Although spring had arrived, the weather was still chilly.

"Alright sure. Weren't you going to grab a glass of water downstairs?" he asked in the most natural

sounding way he could. He needed an excuse to put on his pajamas.

"I'll go get your pajamas first so you can get dressed." She turned around and walked towards the

closet.

'Crap, what should I do?' Kevin thought to himself. Inwardly panicking, he wanted to stop her, but it was

too late. She was already walking towards him, dark blue pajamas in hand.

"Nana, why don't you fetch me a glass of water as well? I feel parched after that hot shower." Kevin

tried another excuse, but this one was poorer than the last.

"You want to drink water too? How about this? You get covered up first, and then we'll go down

together. All our racket could wake Richard up. I don't want that." Leena didn't seem to realize anything

wrong.

'Oh, she's so trustful of whatever I say. I shouldn't keep this from her. God, but I really don't want her to Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

worry about me. Let's see, what other excuse can I find?' he thought to himself. Time was running out.

They just stood on the door way to the bathroom.

"What are you thinking about just standing there? Give me the towel so you can get dressed." Before

Kevin could say anything, Leena snatched the towel. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Nana, I.. can explain..." Kevin had not expected Leena to just grab his towel and yank it quickly. The

gauze was in plain sight before he could utter a word.

"You got hurt." Her eyes were welling up and already red as she reached out to examine the wound.

"Hey, it's not a big deal, okay? I just got cut by a knife. I'll be fine in a couple of days." He knew she

would be upset when she saw it. This was exactly why he wanted to hide it from her.

"How did you even get hurt? I thought it was just an exercise. Did you encounter bad guys?" Her voice

trembled and broke. As a soldier, it was normal for him to get hurt in the line of duty whenever there

was a mission. Despite that, she still couldn't get used to it.

"There were no bad guys. It was just an accident. Come on! You're a mother already. Why are you still

a crybaby?" Kevin said as he wiped her tears and pulled her into his arms gently. Her tears and quick

breaths made his heart twist and ache.

"Yes. So what if I'm a mother? Is there a law that says mothers aren't allowed to cry?" Leena snapped

back in between chokes.

"Okay, alright. Sorry. You're right. You can cry as much as you want. If anybody tries to stop you, I'll

punish him." Kevin joked in an attempt to lighten things up. If she got mad, he would be taking the brunt

of it. God, women were so fickle, Kevin thought. He could never understand what Leena was thinking

of.

"Stop talking nonsense. Have you gotten this treated?" Leen pointed to the wound. Her attention was

back on it. She wouldn't let Kevin go easily this time, until he told her the whole story of how this

happened.

"The military surgeon himself stitched it up and said it was only a flesh wound. You are thirsty, aren't

you? Let's go downstairs, okay? Let's get that water. I need a drink too." Kevin put on his dark blue

pajamas quickly. The silk material clung softly to his body. He grabbed her hand and they walked out of

the room quietly. Richard was still sound asleep.

"Don't get your wound wet, okay? It'll get infected if you do. You just took a shower, didn't you? Quick,

let me check the gauze." While they were walking towards the stairs, Leena kept nagging Kevin. It

didn't annoy Kevin at all; he was actually happy that his wife cared about him so much even if it was

just a flesh wound.

Maybe this was the true meaning of family. Although you wouldn't hear the end of it if you did

something wrong, you wouldn't get angry because you knew deep in your heart that they were only

saying this for your own good. If they didn't care, they wouldn't even say a word, let alone get mad at

you.

As they got their water and went back to the bedroom to sleep, the night went on. Leena cuddled up

against her husband and was fast asleep. Tomorrow is a new day, and anything could happen. But

even if they might argue with each other, they would make up real fast because of their deep love for

each other. That was the only thing that mattered to Kevin.
