It'll Come Naturally -
Chapter 1484 I Miss You But You Don't Know (Part Three)
Leena glanced at her watch. It was time for her to take her medicine. Although she had left Kevin, she still insisted on taking the medicine to treat her body. She was unintentionally making an effort, like she was still harboring some hope in her heart. The medicine was
bitter, and more disgusting, than the last one she took. Yet she controlled her urge to vomit, and forced herself to take it all in.
Paris was a city she couldn't be more familiar with. Choosing to hide here didn't make her feel lonely. In fact, it helped as she had several things to keep her mind busy. And being busy kept her from becoming lazy. The only inconvenience was that she had to be under a disguise at all times to avoid being recognized. Aware of the likelihood that her family and friends hired some private detectives, she had to be very careful to avoid exposing herself. Although Edward's father sent some people to protect her, it couldn't hurt to take extra precaution. Looking at the thick, black concoction, Leena bit her lower lip in deep thought. Finally, she mustered all the courage she had and drained all of it in a single gulp. The bitterness lingered in her tongue, just like the bitterness she had in her heart. It seemed like the taste wouldn't come off her tongue.
Kevin's stomach dropped all of a sudden, as if he felt Leena's experience and it made him worry. It had already been a month. He had assumed that Leena wouldn't be able to handle the pain of being apart from him. But no. After waiting for her to come back this whole time, nothing changed. He seemed to have gravely overestimated his importance in her heart for she was still nowhere to be found.
He tore up the divorce settlement in anger. The letter she left for him was stored in the locker of his desk. It recorded both her love and cruelty towards him. Every time he missed her, he would take it out and read it again. He would stare at it longingly, as if he could see her writing the letter.
"Major General Gu," greeted Mrs. Xu. "Where is Leena? She hasn't visited here for a long time." Kevin was at the dormitory building, and Mrs. Xu happened to see him. His house was haunted by Leena's presence, and everywhere he looked, he was reminded of her. Needing a place to free his mind, he decided that the dormitory was the best place to go.
"Oh!" exclaimed Kevin, "She went abroad, and she'll be staying there for a while. I'll tell her about this and maybe she can visit as soon as she's back." With a polite but forced smile, he didn't know what else to say. Truthfully, he didn't know how long she was staying there too.
"Oh, I see, I see. It's all right! I haven't seen her in a while. We all just miss her." Mrs. Xu admired Leena; she was kind, and never forgot to send them some presents. Besides that, she was beautiful and didn't have a hard time getting along with them. Everyone somehow ended up liking her even when she didn't try.
"Okay, I'll tell her all about it." They missed her, but nowhere near as much as he missed her. He yearned for her so much that he could barely breathe sometimes. But if the day came when she decided to return, he still wanted to be there for her. He had to suppress the pain and keep living like nothing happened.
He walked upstairs. When he found that someone was standing by the doorway of his room, he frowned. As soon as he recognized the person, he turned and made his way towards the stairs again. Kevin knew that Leena wouldn't like it if he stayed anywhere near that
woman.
"Kevin, wait!" Kevin cursed under his breath. Louisa ran towards him as soon as she saw him.
Kevin walked faster upon hearing her. But as he had to stop and greet another officer, she managed to catch up with him quite easily.
"Why do you always avoid seeing me, Kevin?" asked Louisa, pouting coyly. She heard that Leena had disappeared from his side, and was quick to make a move. 'Finally,' she thought, 'I have the chance to have him now.'
"Because my wife doesn't like it when I meet with other women," Kevin replied simply without turning around to look at her. He just kept walking to the army base directly. He had planned to stay in the dormitory tonight. But it seemed, based on this interaction, that he would have to go back tonight.
"Didn't she leave you? I warned you, you know, that a rich girl like her would not make it as a soldier's wife!" Louisa chuckled, as if she were righteous and thoughtful about his well-being.
"That's what you think," said Kevin, still walking. "Miss Ye, if I remember correctly, Commander forbids you to enter the army base. I wonder how he'll feel if he replaces out that you are here. Pissed off, maybe?" Kevin wore a cold smile as he glanced at her shocked expression. He knew that the guards didn't stop her as she followed him into the base. It was the only logical reason for disobeying the Commander's orders.
"You... you did it deliberately!" Louisa's face paled immediately upon realization. Her father had warned her in the past, that if he ever found out that she disobeyed his orders, he would make her move out and live in a dumpster. She had been unemployed because of her lack of skills. In short, she would die if she was kicked out by the family!
"Bye!" said Kevin, neither admitting nor denying. He merely gave out a simple response, got into his car, and then drove away. He didn't want to waste much of his time on her at all, not for another second.
'Damn it!' she thought, stomping her foot. Louisa walked out of the army base swiftly, hoping that her presence wasn't reported to his father. Otherwise, there would be terrible consequences waiting for her at home.
Kevin had gotten used to days with warm dinner waiting for him at home. But now, with Leena gone, there was nothing but darkness welcoming him. Although it had been a month now, he still couldn't accept the reality. He always imagined that Leena would come out from somewhere in the house, look at him with a bright smile, and then leave a gentle kiss on his face. He would be extremely glad if that happened.
"Most of the time, I miss you, but you don't know it," he said quietly to himself, swallowing back what seemed to be lodged in his throat. Wherever he looked, he would see Leena. The cute her, the wronged her, or the lovely her. He missed all different versions of her. But whenever he reached out to touch her face, to hold her in his arms, she would disappear into the thin air. His heart hurt so much as if it was going to break at any time.00
