"Not again, you two! Did you guys quarrel with each other every day when you were in Paris?" Edward asked with a frown. He was really having a headache because of these two.


    "Hmph!"


    "Bah!"


    Leena and Justin blurted out at the same time and stared at each other up and down with scornful eyes. They just couldn''t make peace with each other.


    When they got out of the airport, Leena couldn''t help but shiver at the cold weather. Then a warm coat was ced on her shoulders.


    "It''s a little cold in the morning. Don''t catch a cold now." Edward gave her a short brotherly smile, which made Leena feel really warm.


    "Thank you, Edward." Leena put on the coat and zipped it up to make herself warm. Paris was much warmer, and the clothes she wore were too permeable for S City.


    "Okay, get in the car. I''ll drive you home first," Edward offered as he knew Leena might get sick if they stayed out in the cold much longer.


    On their way to Grand Apartment, Justin kept talking about the interesting things that he had witnessed and experienced while he was in Paris. Leena, however, didn''t seem to be in the same car, looking out of character. She stared out the window and remained quiet all the way, which made Edward feel strange.


    "Hey there, how was your trip to Paris this time?" Edward asked with a frown. He noticed that she was in low spirits and wondered what had happened to her. ''Was it because of her business? Was her summer wearunch a failure?'' he thought to himself.


    "Well, theunch was a sess, especially for the children''s wear part. We have received a lot of praise and de for that one. And I owe it to some certain arrogant little boy, who was actually a great model and the perfect illustration of my designs!" Leenamented, looking at Justin. Leena wasn''t making it up. At theunch event, the shutter sounds had clicked one after another at a rapid speed, along with unstoppable shes that had been almost blinding.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    "You''re ttering me. Well, a certain woman has really done a great job in design. And I think that is fundamental to the sess," Justin ttered back. He had long thought that Leena was a woman who did nothing but bully him. But after seeing how confident and reliable she was when she was at work, Justin then realized that she was indeed a very talented designer.


    Edward''s face convulsed when he heard them talking. "Wait, what? Really? Why are you two praising each other in such an odd way?" he asked in disbelief. He was not used to this kind of pleasant exchange between the two.


    After arriving at Grand Apartment, Leena bid them goodbye and entered the house. The room was silent, but Leena curled her lips and felt happy. It was the ce that she and her beloved man called home. Kevin knew that she would being back today. But unfortunately, he had a meeting in the capital city and would be unable to pick her up. Fortunately Edward offered to do it, since he was picking up his own son.


    She was about to unpack her things when her phone rang. She looked at the screen and found that it was Kevin calling.


    "Nana, are you at home now?" His voice was hoarse and cracked, and he even coughed a little.


    "Hey you!" she chirped happily but suddenly changed tone. "I just arrived. Kevin, what''s wrong with you? Have you got a cold?" Leena asked worriedly. The weather had dipped recently, and it was a high-urrence season for the flu. She began to get worried about him. "No, I haven''t. I just feel itchy in my throat. Don''t worry about me. I think I will be here another couple of nights, so I guess I won''t be home until the day after tomorrow. I hate it. I want to be home with you now. But do take good care of yourself, okay?" Actually, Kevin had got a cold because of an outdoor training a couple of days ago. It had been raining and the cold wind cut through his thin clothes. He was now well enough but he lied to Leena as he didn''t want her to worry about him.


    "I miss you too! I was hoping we''d have dinner together tonight." She puckered a frown. "Remember to drink some water. That would be good for your throat." Leena was a little disappointed upon hearing that Kevin wouldn''t be back until the day after tomorrow. "I will. Honey, I have to go now. Bye!" Kevin hung up and checked the time. This time he came to the capital city for work, but instead of staying at the pre-arranged hotel, he chose to stay at his parents'' house. He had very few opportunities to meet his parents often, and ire was now in Paris, so he decided to take this chance to visit them and to keep thempany for a few days.


    After unpacking her bags and taking a bath, Leena went to the hospital without taking a rest. She had been really worried about Patricia while she was in Paris. More importantly, it was time for her to fetch the medicines from Tom to improve her health. This time, she stopped resisting them, for she really wanted to have Kevin''s baby.


    "Hey girlfriend! How have you been? Are you feeling better?" Leena asked as soon as she came in, holding up a gift which she had bought for her in Paris. Patricia was now sitting on a wheelchair. Leena could tell from the look on her face that she had gotten much better while she was away.


    "Hey, Leena, you''re back! Yeah, look at me! I''m much better, haha! How''s your trip to Paris? Was it a sess?" Patricia was thrilled to see Leena. The car crash did not kill her but the boredom in this hospital might. Michelle often came over to keep herpany, but she couldn''t go anywhere, and that stressed her out.


    "Yes, it was a sess. How about your therapy?" Leena looked worriedly at her leg which was not in ster anymore. She was afraid that there might beplications in the future.


    "I''ve made some progress, but it is really exhausting." Speaking of therapy and rehabilitation, Patricia couldn''t help but remember Tom''s cold face. The rehab was carried out by a doctor with specialized training in the field. Tom, however, woulde every time she was in session. Oddly, he didn''t even cast her a single nce. He would say a few words to the doctor but he would leave in a hurry. Patricia couldn''t help but wonder what Tom was actually up to.000
