Chapter 372 I''m Not Going To The Hospital (Part One)


    It was supposed to be a date between lovers. However, with Brian joining them it had turned into a


    party for friends who hadn''t seen each other for a long time. Edward, who should be the male


    protagonist in the date, looked deserted in this gathering. He just listened quietly while Daisy and Brian


    chatted fervently about their past that had nothing to do with him. It seemed that he was the third wheel


    in tonight''s date. Although Edward was left out in the cold, he felt neither embarrassed nor angry. He


    sat silently on his seat, ate his beefsteak and gracefully sipped the red wine. He looked so noble and


    so charming that he had be the focus of attention at the restaurant. Many guests were peeping at


    him. But he paid no attention to them and casually went on dining and drinking. Every few minutes, he


    raised his head to cast an affectionate look at the woman sitting opposite him. His mour appeared in


    every gesture and every glimpse of him.

    Daisy didn''t shift her gaze from Edward when she was conversing with Brian. She enjoyed talking with


    Brian, but she could not help herself from ncing at Edward, as he was always the focus of attention


    for her. Edward was the only man that Daisy wanted to love for the rest of her life.


    Daisy and Edward cared about each other, although at times they tried to behave otherwise. Brian had,


    of course, noticed their sweet gestures. Brian saw that Daisy and Edward had fallen deeply in love with


    each other. Brian felt happy for Daisy; her happiness was one of his greatest wishes. Although he loved


    Daisy too, he didn''t mind that his beloved woman was in love with another man. He just wanted her to


    have a happy life and was willing to do anything to make that happen. But like a spoiled boy, Brian


    could not help himself from approaching her and had tried his best to attract her attention.


    At the same time, Leena was having an unfavorable night. It all started when she burned her hand


    while cooking in her apartment. She looked at the scalded skin with a frown. Tears were welling in her


    eyes. Leena med herself for her carelessness. While she was cooking, she recalled what had


    happened at the cocktail partyst night. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn''t pay


    attention to the soup pot until the soup spilled out. Leena''s first reaction was to remove the pod lid to


    stop the spilling. But the pot lid was so hot that her hand got burnt.


    Leena bit her lip to suppress the painful sting in her hand. Although she had washed the burned area


    with cold water, she could still feel the scalding sting on her skin. Leena had no idea what to do next.


    She just nkly stared at the burnt skin. Then she got lost in a daze, as Kevin''s aloof attitude towards


    her atst night''s party upied her mind again.


    Leena softly let out a sigh of defeat. Although she dreamed of an independent lifestyle, she could not


    stand Kevin''s indifferent attitude towards their marriage anymore. He didn''t care about her and never


    took an interest in what she did. Leena didn''t mind who Kevin loved in his heart. But she did mind


    whether Kevin showed concern for her in front of those people who cared for her. She hated his


    aloofness towards her in public. Now, she had no idea how to maintain the confidence of her beloved


    family and friends in her marriage.


    Leena understood that Kevin had to entertain his superiors at the party. But as his newly-wed wife,


    didn''t she have the right to get introduced to his superiors and colleagues? Was Kevin feeling ashamed


    to introduce her as his wife? Leena couldn''t help but feel depressed when this thought crossed her


    mind. ''Yes. He must have felt ashamed of me!'' thought Leena. ''I''m just a silly girl in Kevin''s opinion. He


    doesn''t feelfortable standing with me in public because I''m not a graceful woman. Why would he


    introduce a little girl like me to his leaders and colleagues? They are all high-rank military officials and


    leaders. I''m just the dirt on the ground that no one likes to look at. As an ordinary girl, I have no means


    to connect with them no matter how hard I try. Isn''t that true?''


    Leena felt as if her heart was being stabbed. ''What is wrong with me?" Leena asked herself. She


    wondered why she had be so concerned with Kevin''s social circle. ''Do I feel differently towards


    him now? Have I fallen in love with him? Why am I fussing over him and raising my expectations?''


    Leena was disturbed by this thought. Her eyes were filled with bewilderment as she considered the


    possibility of falling in love with Kevin. No! It couldn''t be right. They had known each other for a long


    time. If she had fallen in love with Kevin, she wouldn''t have realized it sote! If love was not the right


    answer, then what was the reason behind her abnormal behavior and irrational thoughts?


    "What are you thinking about? Don''t you smell something burning?" A sudden ming voice brought


    Leena back to reality. After regaining herposure, Leena realized that she was cooking in the


    kitchen. But the braised pork leg was already burnt. In an effort to save the pork leg from getting worse,


    Leena stirred it with a turner. Hurriedly, she held the turner with her burnt hand. As soon as the burnt


    part of her hand touched the turner, a sharp pain stung her. The pain was so fierce that Leena dropped


    the turner, which fell on her foot. What a lucky day for Leena!


    Kevin frowned on seeing the turn of events. He turned off the gas stove quickly. Then he grabbed


    Leena into his arms, lifted her and carried her out of the kitchen. His face darkened when he carried


    her towards the living room. Leena noticed his worried expression. She wondered why Kevin got so


    bothered all of a sudden. Did he feel sad for the broken turner or did he get mad at her for the mess in


    the kitchen? But Leena could not find the answer to her question.


    "Kevin, I can walk." Leena witnessed Kevin''s cold expression for the first time today. He looked quite


    stern and terrifying when he was in a serious mood. Leena stared at his darkened face until she was


    breathless with nervousness. She assumed that she was the reason behind Kevin''s rage. But Leena


    wondered what she had done to enrage him. She thought about everything that had happened, but


    nothing seemed peculiar in her opinion. Did Kevin get angry because she messed up the pork leg?


    "Shut up." Kevin carefully ced Leena on the couch. Instead of saying something to her, Kevin ran


    straight upstairs. This puzzled Leena. She had no idea what Kevin intended to do. As Leena knew


    nothing about the cause for Kevin''s anger, she had to stay where she was and wait for his return lest


    she might enrage him further.
