Justin was the last one to leave. He wanted to finish his mousse cake! What bad luck, he just started enjoying it. Can't he finish the cake first? But everyone was busy leaving and no one noticed his reluctance to go. They filed out of Sexy World in a few minutes.
"You can just go home, Brian. We're going to visit a friend." Daisy stopped to explain to Brian.
"I see, Sister. Take care." Brian reached out and hugged Daisy, leaving a gentle kiss on her forehead. Edward turned around and caught the moment. He got angry and his eyebrows went up. He had thought that Duke would be pissed off by Brain. But he didn't expect the curtain to fall before the drama could be played out. In the end, he was the one who got upset.
"Okay. You have drank a little just now. Be careful and drive slowly." Daisy smoothed the folds of Brian's clothes. It was an ordinary yet intimate action, making Edward's jealousy grow. The car sped wildly down the road. He didn't speak to Daisy during the whole ride. He bottled up his unhappiness and stewed in silence.
The stars in the evening sky seemed to sparkle more in the gentle breeze in S City. Daisy looked out of the window during the drive, watching the street lights pass by in a flash. She was also curious why Leena got scalded while Kevin was home. Although many soldiers weren't so careful, Kevin was different. He always acted elegantly in public, as if he was born into nobility. While some people might lose their composure during training, Kevin always looked like energetic and dynamic. Other officers and soldiers admired him a lot. It's probably attributed to his family background. Otherwise, could anyone else display such elegance so perfectly?
Edward was tight-lipped. There was nothing but calmness on his handsome face. No one could read his mind as he stared at the road ahead. His big hands and long fingers held the steering wheel firmly. He seemed to be venting his anger out on the steering wheel.
In the backseat, Justin felt stressed out by the weird atmosphere. He shot concerned looks at his parents. His dad always doted on his mom. He couldn't understand why his dad suddenly seemed so unhappy with his mom today. As a child, Justin had difficulty understanding what adults were thinking.
In his luxurious house, Kevin had no idea what he was about to face. He walked to the door when he heard the doorbell. The moment he opened the door, he was stunned by the sight of the large number of people at his doorstep. He froze, at a loss with what to do. Some of his guests didn't even greet him and walked straight into the house.
Seeing Kevin's shock, Daisy smiled in amusement. Major General Gu always seemed so capable. It's rare to see such an awkward expression on his face. She didn't enter the house immediately. She stood at the entrance to tease him.
"What, have we caught the Chief of Staff off guard?" Daisy blinked, smiling meaningfully. She patted him on the shoulder before entering the house. The scene didn't escape Edward's notice. His cold face darkened even more. It turned out that Daisy wasn't unwilling to show her naughty side in front of others. It all depended on whom she's talking to, and judging from what he just saw, she regarded Kevin as someone more important than the rest. Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted so casually with him.
Leena was also inside. Obviously, she didn't expect this situation either. The moment she saw the group of people, she suddenly froze just as the great Chief of Staff Officer did. She just called for Tom. Why was everyone suddenly in her house?
How are you, Leena? Does it hurt a lot?" Duke asked anxiously, rushing to Leena who was sitting on the sofa. She seemed to be suffering from a great deal of pain.
"Brother. Why are you here? It's just a minor injury. There's no need for all of you to come here and visit me. You are giving me a big shock." Leena moved her hand to hide it. She was afraid that Duke would get mad if he saw the blisters on her hand. She knew his temper well. She was the apple of his eye. If he found out that her wound was actually quite severe, he would get extremely worried about her. Moreover, she was worried that her brothers would blame Kevin for her injury.
Could you give me some space? Let me check her hand first! Luckily, there was always a medicine kit in Tom's car, and there was no need to worry about getting supplies. A talented doctor like him could cope well with minor scalds.
Everyone was concerned about Leena's injury, but none of them were doctors. Even though they were unwilling to leave, they moved away and allotted some space for Tom. It would be terrible if Leena wasn't treated carefully.
Show me your hand Leena. Tom sat down beside her. He took out all the scald medicine in his kit and set them somewhere accessible.
Now? Really? Leena looked at everyone in hesitation. She didn't think that her injury was severe at all, but Kevin insisted on taking her to the hospital. Because she didn't want to, she turned to Tom. But she didn't expect everyone to show up. How could she accept something like this? If she had known, she'd have gone to the hospital and endured the smell of disinfectant instead of called Tom.
Yes! Let me check, so I know which medicine to use. Tom looked at Leena sternly, trying to see her hidden hand. He frown slightly. If his guess was right, her injury wasn't minor at all. Or she wouldn't hesitate in front of everyone.
Kevin was the last one to enter, so he was isolated from the crowd. Looking at everyone's concern, he realized for the first time how Leena was important to them. Meanwhile, he was also getting stressed. He could hardly imagine how they would react when they saw the blisters on her hand.
