It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1270 The Sleeping Beauty (Part One)

"Stop talking nonsense! It's all my fault. I failed to replace out that you had a thing for Kevin. Oh my god! I even let you get close to him! From now on, you are forbidden to contact him, meet him, or even look at him. Disobey me and I'll sue you myself for sabotaging a military marriage even though you are my daughter!" The Commander closed his eyes in embarrassment. What a shameless daughter he had! How could he face Kevin now? But he knew that he was at fault too. He had been so busy working all these years that he had neglected his daughter's education. And now she had become a willful person with no morals.

"Ha! You think that I would still have the chance to get close to Kevin? He hates me and won't see me anymore. It's all your fault! When they applied for a marriage license, you should have used your position to turn down their request. Leena wouldn't have become Mrs. Gu!" Louisa's voice teetered on the edge of hysteria. She was such a selfish and spoiled little brat that she still put the blame on others despite what had happened, oblivious to her own mistakes. In her eyes, she had been betrayed by everyone including her father.

"What? You still haven't learned your lesson? Have you got no shame, you woman? I am so humiliated because of what you have done. Look at you! Even if Kevin were not married, he would never choose someone like you. You are a disgrace. Just stop the delusions and come back to reality!" The Commander sighed with profound resignation. He had been so busy at work that he hardly had any time for his family. He now felt much guilt and felt responsible for what became of his daughter. He always met her requests and satisfied her every whim to make up for his absence. He now realized that it was him who had spoiled his daughter rotten.

"You are not him! You don't know whom he would choose! Why do you look down on me like that? I'm your daughter!" Tears streamed down Louisa's cheeks as she lamented her father's lack of support. In her eyes, it was all her father's fault. If her father had considered pairing her and Kevin, then Leena would have had no chance to marry him.

"You brat! I'm your father. How could you talk to me like that? You must reflect on what you've done. I have to fix the situation for you and save your face and mine. If you dare to run away, I swear I will break your legs!" The Commander cast a stern glance at Louisa before leaving and locking her room. She had been punished by Edward the previous night and caught a cold because of it. If it weren't for that, the Commander would have given her a more severe punishment himself, instead of only locking her in her room.

"You have no right to order me around! Fascist!" Louisa's screaming resounded through the house, but the Commander left the house as if he heard nothing. He had loads of things to deal with at the army base.

When he got into the car, his phone rang. It was from Kevin.

"Hello! Major General Gu, how is your wife? It's all my fault. I failed to discipline my daughter and now she has caused you so much trouble. I'm so sorry." The Commander made a sincere apology to Kevin. He had aged ten years since the previous night because of all the stress and shame.

"She is out of immediate danger, but hasn't woken up yet. Doctor Qin has reassured that she'd wake up soon so we have that to look forward to." Kevin held his phone with one hand while grabbing Leena's hand with the other. He was very mad at Louisa, but he wouldn't lose his temper at the Commander. The Commander had treated Kevin like his own son all these years. As a grateful man, Kevin respected and honored him. It would be unfair to put Louisa's blame on the Commander.

"If this is really true, it'll take a load off my mind. Please apologize for me when she wakes up. If it weren't for my unruly daughter, she wouldn't have suffered." The Commander had devoted his whole life to his country, and he thought he was worthy of the heart. He didn't expect his reputation to be ruined by a brat like Louisa who only happened to be his daughter.

"Commander, you don't need to blame yourself. Leena is not an unreasonable person. I am sure that she will not put the slightest condemnation on you." Kevin stroked Leena's face gently. He was with Leena alone. A few moments before, Belinda had a test in the hospital and the doctor confirmed that she was pregnant. Therefore, Duke had to go home with his wife. Otherwise he would force Kevin to leave Leena, and they would have a fight about this.

"Well, anyway, I should also be responsible for this matter. You can take a day off to take care of your wife. As for your tasks, Senior Colonel Ouyang has mentioned it. I'll try my best to persuade the higher authorities to reassign it to Hank." The Commander was not an unreasonable person, albeit an understanding one. He could imagine Kevin being too preoccupied with this crisis to carry out his tasks effectively.

"Thank you, Commander. I was planning to discuss it with you. You are so thoughtful as to give me a break." That was the reason why Kevin respected the Commander very much. The Commander always placed himself in others' position and was kind enough to meet their real needs.

"Don't worry about your work. Just take care of your wife. I'll be responsible for everything in the army base," the Commander offered. He had to do this to make up for his daughter's mistakes. After all, Louisa was his only daughter, and he had to deal with the mess she had created.

"All right. Thank you, Commander." Kevin could imagine what a difficult position the Commander was in right now, and that was why he didn't hold Louisa accountable for what she had done. After all, Edward had already punished Louisa. Kevin decided to let go of it, otherwise the Commander would be in an awkward position. Someday, maybe he and Leena would replace a way to forgive her and forget about all this.
