"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 uncomfortable.

  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-in-law.

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

  "Mom, why are you here? Claire 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 balance 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 to come 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 or later. 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 ei

  "Ah, nice to meet you, Aunt Shannon. I'm Belinda Shangguan, Leena's sister-in-law. 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 graceful lady. 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 successful 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.
