"Sorry! I didn''t mean it that way. I hope you understand. I am really anxious right now," Kevin apologized to Belinda. Thinking about it for a while, he took out his phone and dialed Hawkeye''s number. He decided to use his position in the military to search for Leena. "Hello, Major General Gu, what can I do to help you?" was Hawkeye''s greeting to Kevin. As a soldier in the Special Forces, he was always ready.


    "Hawkeye, I need you to carry out a city-wide search for my wife, Leena Leng," Kevin demanded. "Do everything you can and keep me updated at all times." He knew he would get in trouble for using military resources for personal matters, but he was willing to ept the punishment they would put on him. After all, Leena was his beloved wife and he would spare no efforts to find her.


    "Yes, I guarantee you that the mission will be carried out to the best of our abilities. Please send me a picture of Mrs. Gu." Hawkeye was ready to ept the order without any questions or hesitation.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "I''ll send it to youter. Just remember, no civilian citizens are to be harassed in this mission," Kevin urged. He became the cool and smart Major General again.


    "Copy that, Major General Gu. I''ll arrange the search now." Hawkeye hung up. Curious as he was, he dared not to ask Kevin further more.


    Duke cast a cold nce at Kevin before he turned to Belinda and said, "I''ll call Edward. He has more resources and a wider connection. I believe he will y a part in searching for Leena."


    "Alright," Belinda answered with a frown. Then she turned to Kevin and said, "Kevin, you haven''t eaten yet, have you? I will tell Giselle to prepare a meal for you."


    "Thank you. But no need for that. I don''t feel like eating. Please let me know when you have some news. I''ll take my leave now. I don''t feelfortable staying still and not looking for my wife." Kevin didn''t even have time to sit down and take a rest, let alone eat. "Kevin, I know you are desperate to find her, but you have to eat something. How can you have the energy to look for her with a weak mind and body? You still have to look after yourself." Belinda called out after Kevin as he walked away, but he didn''t stop.


    Kevin drove around the city for a few hours. He went to some ces that she frequented, but found no clues. He mmed his hands on the steering wheel in frustration, his eyes red.


    ''Damn it! During the past days, she has called my attention to the things I need to pay attention to. She must have already made up her mind to leave back then. But I was too insensitive to notice it. I am such a jerk!'' he thought to himself.


    The city was not peaceful that night. Men in ck suits rushed across the high streets and backnes. There were even some mysterious men searching every alley and stopping at the smallest shops. The same situation had happened before when Daisy had been abducted.


    Maybe Leena had already left the city. Although she didn''t take a ne or drive her car, she might have taken the bus or train or some other kind of public transport. It was not easy to look for someone in such a big city.


    The city remained the same, but in Kevin''s eyes, everything seemed different without Leena by his side. He had searched high and low for her, and he was physically and mentally exhausted. No matter how many people he and Edward had sent out, Leena was nowhere to be found. If she hadn''t left Kevin a note saying that she was leaving, Kevin would have easily believed that she was kidnapped. Only he wouldn''t know who would do that as he didn''t have any known enemies.


    He only went home in the wee hours of the morning. Opening their shared closet, he was stunned to find that she had already matched his clothes for him, and there were even detailed notes on each one. He felt weak as he read each one of them. "Where are you Nana?" he whispered. Much worse, none of her clothes remained, leaving the closet clean and empty without so much as a speck of dust. Her scent still lingered but there was nothing else that he could hold on to. Did she decide to leave this house forever? Why did she take everything with her? Why didn''t she take him with her as well?


    In these modern times, men, especial male soldiers, are often told things like, "big boys don''t cry" or "take it like a man." Kevin, however, just couldn''t help but break down in a heap as he stared at the empty closet. In the confines of the room and without anyone watching, he cried shamelessly, feeling the crushing pain in his chest. He hadbed the entire city with not even a shadow of a lead. He even checked a million times with the airport, but there was no sign of Leena boarding any ne. He had checked the surveince videos of every long-distance transport station in S City, but still came up with no clues. He really didn''t know what to do now. It was as if he hade to a dead end.


    The search had even gone international. ire had asked Gerard to help them find Leena using his family''s resources, but Leena was not in Paris either. She just left quietly, leaving no clues and not telling a single soul. She was a really good student, who had fully mastered the skills she learned from Kevin to avoid detection. She not only took away her stuff, but also Kevin''s heart.


    Extremely reluctant, Edward had no choice but to seek help from his father after days of searching in vain.


    "You want something?" Jonathan asked. He was still so handsome and looked younger than his age, almost as if he was just Edward''s older brother instead of his father.


    "Father, I didn''t want to bother you but I need your help to find someone," Edward confided earnestly. They were both handsome, but in their own unique ways.


    "Are you talking about Leena? Let me tell you what I think. Leena needs time to cool down and rethink things. In my opinion, we shouldn''t pressure her and make things worse by doing this massive search as if she were a criminal. Give her the space and time." It was not that Jonathan didn''t want to help. He just thought that Leena had been mentally and emotionally exhausted and needed to take a break. It was good for her to take this opportunity to travel, rx herself and think carefully about her rtionship with Kevin. Jonathan was confident that she woulde back after she came around to it.
