Chapter 1274 Time To Get Up (Part Two)


    "That is really nice of him to say so. Have you had your dinner already?" said Kevin as he looked away


    from the papers. He wasn''t interested in dealing with those now. Rather, he looked at Lee''s face and


    noticed that he had been sweating due to the long trip he just had to get there.


    "Don''t worry about me. I have eaten something on the way. How is Leena doing now?" said Lee as he


    cast a concerned stare at the sleeping Leena. She used to be so energetic and cheerful. However, it


    wasn''t the case right now as shey motionless on the hospital bed. The sad sight made Lee a bit


    depressed. He felt his throat ache a little so he quickly looked away.


    "She hasn''t woken up yet but I think it won''t be long before she recovers. You know Leena, right? She


    is not the type of person who enjoys lying in bed all day long." As he spoke, Kevin reached out to tuck


    Leena''s stray hair to the back of her ear. A bitter grin cracked his lips. He was just consoling himself.


    He knew that there was nothing that he could do to wake Leena up at this stage. Even someone as


    extraordinary as Tom couldn''t give his words about the exact time Leena would be waking up. Things


    were really not looking fine for them at the moment.


    "I really hope for Leena toe back to her senses soon. Major General, is there anything I can do for


    you?" said Lee tofort Kevin. It worried him a lot to see Kevin as gloomy and down as this. He had


    been with Kevin for years and this was honestly the first time Lee saw him being this discouraged.


    "If you have time, could you please help drive Leena''s car back? I got a phone call today that the car


    has been fixed. I have to stay here and look after her myself. Would you mind driving the car back for


    us?" In reality, Kevin was actually worried about the car. He had no time to deal with it and couldn''t


    possibly bother the men from the traffic bureau with such a trivial thing. Kevin knew that Lee would be


    the perfect man to run the errand for him.


    "No problem. I will do it right away. I will also go and visit the injured soldiers on your behalf. That would


    make them understand why you haven''t shown up yet." Lee quickly nodded and said with great


    confidence. He would do anything to ease his Major General''s pain. As cautious as he was, Lee was


    naturally better at his job than Mark.


    "Thank you for your help. Please tell the soldiers to take good rest and don''t worry too much about the

    incident." said Kevin. He shook his head and sighed with a heavy heart. Things were happening too


    fast these days that he couldn''t avoid feeling worn out.


    "I''ll be going now. Major General, again, take care and my sincerest regards to Leena," Lee said with a


    soft voice. He then shyly touched his head. He wasn''t used to saying sentimental words himself. Thus,


    he felt awkward.


    "Thank you. Drive safely. See you soon." A thankful smile cracked on Kevin''s lips as he watched him


    go. He couldn''t be more grateful that Lee was by his side. He trusted him and knew that he would carry


    out his orders perfectly.


    Meanwhile, Shannon had brought her own guard with her, however, there were not enough rooms to


    amodate all of them inside Leena and Kevin''s apartment. She had to ask him to sleep in the living


    room for the night and sent him back to the capital city early in the morning. She, on the other hand,


    refused to go back as soon. She just couldn''t leave Leena behind this way. Knowing that Leena was


    lying motionless on a hospital bed made her heart sink. Thus, she decided to stay until things were


    getting better.


    Shannon started the next day by cooking in the kitchen. She noticed that Kevin didn''t look wellst


    night. Thus, she decided to make him something delicious and nutritious. She hoped for him to eat


    more and rest so he could recover better.


    "Mom, Leena is so ill now. Did dad say anything about it?" ire approached her mother in a cautious


    way. She wanted to ask her that question for a while but she couldn''t seem to open her mouth. She


    was absent-mindedly watching her mother made soup when she finally mustered up courage to ask the


    question. She regretted every little lie she told her father about Leena. Deep down, she knew that it


    might be the reason why her father held a hostile attitude towards Leena.


    "Not much. He is a man of few words and I feel sorry for Leena. He always holds Leena''s wealthy


    background against her. I don''t know why it bothers him so much. She couldn''t possibly choose her


    own background, could she?" Resignedly, Shannon sighed and turned the stove off. She turned around


    and worriedly gazed at ire. As a mother, she cared greatly for Kevin and it wore her out to see him


    this down. She had to do something for him to share his burden.


    "Well, there seem to be no secrets then. You guys have known that Leena is from a rich family since


    the very beginning!" ire covered her mouth in shock. It never urred to her that her parents knew


    about Leena this well. She had always thought that her background was an untold story.


    "Of course, we knew! Your father doesn''t like Leena very much because he is deeply bothered by her


    family background. He is concerned that her family might be the hindrance for your brother''s career.


    Who knows what kind of trouble would she bring to our family?" Shannon gave her daughter a sad


    smile as she bitterly shook her head. She knew her own son well enough that she trusted in him


    perfectly. Kevin was such a righteous man and he would never do anything against thews to gain


    profits.
