Chapter 1272 The Sleeping Beauty (Part Three)


    "Well, she is my wife, and this is what I should do," Kevin said with a frown. He didn''t think taking care


    of Leena was a burden to him. After all, Leena was his wife, the closest person to him in the world. But


    Edward''s words, as if giving him orders, made him feel like an outsider, which made him very


    ufortable.


    Then there was a soft knock at the door. Kevin looked up to see who it was and couldn''t believe who


    was standing by the door. His mother came. Although it was a long way from the capital city, she


    rushed over as soon as she could. Apparently, Shannon cared a lot about her daughter-inw.


    "How''s Leena?" Shannon entered the ward with ire, travel-worn and weary. Anxiety was written all

    over her face.


    "Mom, why are you here? ire told you everything, didn''t she?" Kevin had told Leena his true feelings


    for her the whole day, but there was still no sign of her waking up. Kevin felt both physically and


    mentally exhausted. Luckily, the Commander had persuaded the superior officers to reassign his tasks


    to Hank, otherwise Kevin would not know how to bnce himself between his country and his wife.


    "Yes, she did. Last night, she called me and told me what had happened, and I was eager toe


    here then. But it''s not safe to drive at night. So I set out this morning. How''s Leena? She still hasn''t


    woken up?" Shannon approached the bed and gazed worriedly at Leena''s pale face.


    "No, she hasn''t. But the doctor said she would wake up sooner orter. Did you drive here? Or dad


    arranged a driver for you?" Kevin asked casually. He didn''t think his father would care about Leena.


    After all, he had always made no secret of his dislike for her.


    "Your father asked his guard to drive me here. You know, I am so worried about Leena. Your father said


    it was dangerous for me to drive." Shannon didn''t hide her feelings for Leena either. She had actually


    nned to visit her son and daughter-inw a couple of days before. But she didn''t expect her ns to


    be realized with the inclusion of such a gloomy event. She shook her head with profound resignation


    and hoped Leena would wake up soon.


    "ire, why did you tell mom about it? You are not helping." Kevin gave ire a reproachful look as he


    didn''t want his mother to worry about Leena. The good news was that ire had be a sensible


    and thoughtful girl. Kevin also finally got to know what a excellent person Leena was in a ze of


    publicity. He had thought she was only an apprentice with no real job. That was the reason why he was


    okay with Leena''s refusal to hire a house maid. After all, in his opinion, Leena had a plenty of time to


    do the housework. He had no idea that she was able to be a great sess in the fashion industry while


    cleaning and arranging everything in their house in perfect order. He had never put himself in her shoes


    before, and he felt very guilty about it. Strangely, none of the media had reported on Leena''s drowning.


    He wondered whether Edward had put pressure on the media to stop them from reporting it. After all, it


    wasn''t good news.


    "Don''t me her. She was doing the right thing. If I didn''te here during such a critical moment,


    Leena would think that I don''t care for her enough." Shannon rolled her eyes at Kevin with irritation.


    She couldn''t believe her son had nned not to tell her about it.


    "I didn''t mean it that way. I just wanted to tell you about it after Leena wakes up." Kevin scratched his


    head in embarrassment. In front of his mother, he was no longer the iron-hearted Major General, but a


    guilty kid who did something petty.


    "Look at Leena. Her face is as pale as death. It makes my heart ache to see her like this. What a bad


    girl Miss Ye is! How could she push Leena into the water on such a cold day?" Shannon cast a ming


    look at ire. If ire hadn''t gotten so close to Louisa, the tragedy might not have happened.


    Shannon hoped that ire had learned her lesson this time. Kevin didn''t know how to answer the


    question, as he was not Louisa and he had no idea what she had been thinking at that time.


    "Mom, why don''t we go eat something first? And then we can bring Kevin something to eat," ire


    suggested. She knew Kevin would not leave Leena, so she didn''t even ask Kevin to go with them. She


    could understand how Kevin felt. If she were Kevin, she would also be unwilling to leave. When Be


    was about to leave after visiting Leena, Kevin asked ire to drive her back. He had spent the whole


    day in the ward keeping Leenapany.


    "Oh... Who is this?" asked Belinda in confusion. She drove to the hospital as soon as she got off work,


    and she was surprised to see a middle-aged woman in the ward.


    "Hi, Belinda. This is my mom, Shannon Long. Mom, this is Leena''s sister-inw, Belinda Shangguan,"


    Kevin introduced, a little embarrassed. He had been married to Leena for quite a long time, but it was


    the first time that his mother met Leena''s family. What a weird situation it was!


    "Ah, nice to meet you, Aunt Shannon. I''m Belinda Shangguan, Leena''s sister-inw. Just call me


    Belinda," she introduced herself to Shannon with a wide smile. She didn''t expect Kevin''s mother to be


    such an elegant and gracefuldy. In her eyes, women from military families were usually careless and


    didn''t care much about how they dressed in public.


    "Nice to meet you, Belinda. I''m Shannon Long, Kevin''s mother. Leena is such a good girl. She is


    adorable and capable. Thank you for letting Kevin have the chance to be her partner. We''re so sorry for


    not having taken good care of her." Belinda could tell from Shannon''s words and manners that she was


    a well-educated woman. She heaved a long sigh of relief to herself and hoped that Kevin''s family would


    treat Leena well.


    "That''s very kind of you to say that, Aunt Shannon. Leena is indeed an adorable girl. If she does


    something inappropriate, please forgive her. After all, she is still young and has a lot to learn." Belinda


    was a sessful woman in the business circle, and she knew how to switch back and forth with words


    of politeness for people whom she met for the first time. She thought Leena would not do anything


    inappropriate, and she was just being polite to say that.
