"Good. Then hand over the report to me as soon as possible. And Daisy, have you canceled your vacation in advance? If yes, then write the process as a report and hand it over. Well, you can leave if you are done here." The commander knew that they had a lot of work, so it was inappropriate to hold them. The tasks they were about to manage were quite significant. A massive gunfight had occurred. It must have caused a certain degree of disturbance in the society. The leaders in the military would definitely keep a keen eye on this issue. So they needed to prepare a detailed report.
Yes, Commander, I am going back to work today, and I will finish the task immediately." Daisy frowned, but still took the order and left. Kevin left with her too.
Why don't you take another day off? Is Mr. Mu recovering well?" They walked side by side. Kevin sighed with relief in his heart seeing Daisy wasn't as disturbed as yesterday. She was recovering from the depression and helplessness.
Oh come on, you know everything, there's a lot of pending work. As for Edward, he is doing good, thank you! Didn't you go home last night?" Daisy always turned soft when she spoke about Edward. But soon her tone got worried as she recalled Leena's unusual behavior from last night.
"Yeah! I've been working continuously. Forget about going home; I didn't even get the time to eat." Kevin extended his hand and lightly patted his aching temple. He laughed at himself helplessly, and a sense of tiredness spread over his handsome face.
Have you called Leena?" Daisy paused a little with eyebrows frowning. She was afraid to hear a negative answer from him. She knew Kevin. He would always forget everything and everyone around him once he got involved in work. So she was concerned whether Leena had adjusted her mood and stayed safe last night.
"Ah! I forgot it. Did you see her? Is she fine?" Kevin frowned. Damn! He had told her to wait for him to come home and they were supposed to visit Edward together! Not only did he forget it, but he didn't even make a phone call to her! A good husband would not let this kind of a thing happen! He was indeed a lousy husband in this respect.
How could you forget such an important thing? You know what, she surprised and shocked everyone when she appeared alone at the hospital yesterday! You realize how much those guys dote on her? She is really precious to them. I hope you understand what you've done! You are saying that you forgot her! Do you know she kept giving explanations for you all night? But you are hurting her feeling. This is the way you repay her."
Daisy gave out a speechless sigh. Leena was a little girl loved by everyone. But she met Kevin, a man lacking the sense of romance. It seemed that she was going to have a hard life in the future.
Sorry! I'll explain everything to her after work." Kevin often forgot the fact that he was married now. He was also annoyed at himself because of his heedlessness. He felt sorry for Leena.
Don't say sorry to me, save these words for her. Anyway, she was really disturbed last night. I hope you can comfort her. Also, I don't need your sympathy and care, quit paying so much attention to me from now on. Don't try to convince yourself that whatever you've done for me represents true love. I hope you won't be stubborn about this because as long as you calm yourself down, you will discover that I am just an impossible dream for you. It is not necessary to be too friendly to me."
Daisy remembered what Edward had always warned her about. She'd only promised she would talk to Kevin seriously to comfort Edward. But she never actually carried it out because she didn't think that Kevin would fall in love with a married woman with a child. He was such a great catch that he could have any young and beautiful girl. But last morning, she had felt his loving gaze on her. So she decided to reconsider this problem carefully.
"When... When did you feel that way? Did Mr. Mu ask you to keep a safe distance from me? Although, he had already warned me against revealing my feelings for you for the rest of my life. Why did he change his mind and spoke to you about it?" Kevin smiled bitterly. Daisy finally discovered his feelings for her. However, he did not feel the slightest bit of panic. Instead, he felt quite relieved. There had always been a rock crushing his heart. Now he felt that the rock was gone. He was not as uncomfortable and depressed now as he had been before.
What? You discussed something about this matter with Edward? Why I don't know about it." Oh, Edward! How many things was he hiding from her? She had no idea about Kevin's feelings until recently. Then how did Edward manage to know about it in advance? Was she just a transparent person with no secrets at all?
"Do you think this is important? Have you decided to keep a certain distance from me?" Kevin laughed at himself. He feared that they would not be friends once Daisy came to know about his real feelings for her. That's why for years, Kevin had hidden his unrequited love for her with great difficulty. But ultimately he could not help revealing his feeling, and now she had discovered it.
No, you don't love me. You only love the illusion of me. You think I'm feeble. What you feel for is sympathy not love. You have forced yourself to confuse sympathy with love. As time goes by, an illusion emerge in your mind, you think you've love me for a long time, and its not a passing whim. I don't know whether you agree with me or not.
Daisy watched him. They had known each other for many years and they got along really well. Although she didn't have much experience in love, she knew how people felt when they were secretly falling in love with somebody. They felt grieved when they could not show their love and they didn't get a response from the one they loved. She didn't have such feelings for Kevin. Instead, she had only felt it for Edward.
