My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1716

However, the dream was too real. It was so real that even when Monique breathed, she could feel the pain.

"Monique, dreams are the opposite of reality. If something bad happens in your dream, it just means that something good is coming your way in real life." Brenda held Monique's hand tightly. "But no matter if it's good or bad, we have to face it bravely. Life is a process of growth and the only way to grow is through experiences. As the saying goes, after every storm comes a rainbow."

It was a common saying; Monique has heard of it. Although she understood it, the situation was different. It was easy to give advice to others, but when it was happening to oneself, it seemed so hopeless.

Monique was the same. It was true she was a soldier, but she was also an ordinary girl who had feelings. The man she loved had gone missing trying to save her. How could she not be worried or upset?

Of course, Brenda understood exactly how Monique felt. She had experienced many things throughout her life. "I know that what happened with Levi was very sudden and it's affecting you greatly. You can't accept the fact that he's missing. But, the truth has been laid out in front of you, what can you change by not accepting it?"

Monique knew that nothing would change, but she could not logic herself out of feeling sad.

"If you know that nothing will change, why do you torture yourself so?"

"Mom..."

Monique wasn't trying to torture herself, she just could not accept the reality that Levi was missing. Furthermore, she blamed herself.

That day, if she had acted faster and handed the criminals over to Martin earlier, she would have been able to return to Levi sooner. Then perhaps the situation would be different.

It was only a couple days later that she heard about what happened to Levi.

Her commander came and told her that Levi had gone missing!

Levi was missing!

She wondered what on earth Levi encountered after she left that day.

Monique did not dare to think about it because the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

"Knock, knock-"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Monique and Brenda's conversation. Both of them turned back to look at the door at the same time and saw a beautiful, dignified woman.

She stood at the door with a slight smile.

Monique could recognize this beautiful woman. She was Levi's mother, Mia.

It seemed like Levi's disappearance did not have much of an impact on Mia. She looked exactly the same as when Monique last saw her. She was full of life and had a faint smile on her face.

Levi was missing. How could his own mother be smiling so calmly? Was she not anxious about her son's disappearance at all?

The first time Monique met Mia, she felt like she was no different from any other ordinary mother. However, she realized that she had never actually understood Mia's way of thinking.

Monique tried her best to sort out her emotions. She quickly rolled over and got out of bed. "Aunt Mia, you're here."

"Monique, you're still sick. You don't have to get up." Mia went up and pressed Monique back onto the bed to sit down. She smiled and said, "Have I interrupted you and your mother?"

"No, no." Monique hurriedly made the introductions. "Mom, this is Mrs. Brown, Levi's mother."

Mia said enthusiastically, "Hello Brenda."

Brenda touched her forehead awkwardly and said, "Hello, Mrs. Brown."

It was their first time meeting but Mia was already calling Brenda by her first name. Brenda felt extremely awkward. Mia was a very warm person, but not towards everyone, only to those she liked.

She took Brenda's hand and said, "We're going to be a family in the future. You can just call me by my name. Mrs. Brown sounds too distant."

"Yes, of course..." Brenda muttered repeatedly, but she couldn't bring herself to call Mia that because her daughter hadn't officially gotten married yet.

"Brenda, because I've been busy for the past two days, I haven't had the time to come visit Monique in the hospital. Sorry for letting you take care of her alone." Mia did not bring up Levi, instead, she was focused on getting closer to Brenda.

Hearing this, Brenda felt a little uncomfortable. However, she was someone who was socially aware, so she didn't show any discomfort on her face. "Mrs. Brown, don't say that. Even if she gets married, she is still my child. I am happy to take care of her. There is nothing to worry about."

"Monique, it must be hard on you without Levi now." Mia touched Monique's face and held Monique's hand in hers. "Look at you. You're much thinner than the last time I saw you."

"Aunt Mia..." Monique didn't understand why Mia came here. She looked at Mia in confusion, and then she heard Mia say, "No matter what anyone else says, you must believe that Levi is just missing. He will come back soon."

"Aunt Mia, Levi..."

Mia interrupted Monique, "Levi's disappearance has nothing to do with you. You two are soldiers. Your main duty is to complete your missions. Don't blame yourself."

"Aunt Mia, I..." Mia's words pierced straight into Monique's heart. It was true. When she heard the news that Levi was missing, she felt sad and distressed, and there was also a feeling of self-blame that no one else knew about.

Her own mother and sister didn't even know, but Mia saw through her with a single glance.

Mia patted her hand and said, "Work hard and rest well. Don't worry about Levi. His friends have already arranged for a search team and I am sure there will be good news soon."

After listening to Mia's words, Monique realized how childish and foolish she had been. Two minutes ago, she even doubted Mia's love for Levi.

At this instant, she felt like she was being slapped heavily across her face.

From Mia's words, Monique finally understood how strong Mia was mentally to be able to deal with this matter so well. It was obvious how much Monique was struggling in comparison.

Faced with the news of Levi's disappearance, Monique instantly broke down. She even considered the thought of killing herself so that she could leave this world with him. However, now that she

noticed how Mia was acting, she hesitated.

She foolishly assumed that Mia was smiling because she didn't care about Levi.

It seemed that she was totally wrong.

Every look in Mia's eyes showed how much she cared about Levi, but she didn't cry even though she was so worried. She remained calm and elegant, and she even came to comfort Monique. Monique knew that she was nothing compared to Mia.

Wasn't Mia worried about Levi? Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Yes, she was very worried. But she knew that at this time, the best thing she could do was to keep calm, so that was what she did.
