Chapter 1618 The Father Of The Victim (Part Four)
"Of course, I do have good things to say to you. Would you like to know? Huh?" Edward winked at Daisy. His words and tone were so suggestive that Daisy's face turned red immediately. "Ahem!" Daisy cleared her throat without replying to him. She was at a loss for words, shocked at Edward's shamelessness.
"Could you two stay here and look after Leena? I have to go and see the commander. He is here too," Kevin interrupted, breaking the awkward silence. The commander was his superior and it was only proper for him to go and visit him to inquire about his daughter. Besides, he could tell that Daisy was feeling embarrassed at the moment, and he didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable by being there.
Daisy looked at Kevin in surprise. She asked, "What happened to the commander? Why is he at the hospital?" She wasn't informed that the commander was ill.
"He is all right. It's Louisa who is in a bit of a trouble. It's kind of complicated. I'll explain later." Kevin didn't want to give them any details about the incident without getting further information. They would have to wait till Louisa was fully conscious and could tell them what had happened to her on her own.
"I'm coming with you," Daisy said, with a finality in her tone. The commander was Daisy's superior too. Now that she was here at the hospital, she had to pay him a visit too.
"Okay. Let's go. Nana, we will be back soon." Kevin fixed the bed cover for her again, giving Leena a small smile. One could tell from the small gestures how deeply Kevin cared about Leena and their baby.
"Okay," Leena said, worried about Louisa's condition too. So she didn't mind Kevin visiting her. She wanted to know what the hell had happened to her and if she would be okay soon. "Don't worry about me. Edward is here."
Kevin glanced at Edward. If Leena hadn't reminded him about Edward, he would have completely forgotten that Edward was there in the room. He ignored his presence as usual.
Kevin shrugged and turned to leave. "Huh! I bet he's completely ignoring me. Again," Edward mumbled unhappily, watching his wife and Kevin walk out of the room and disappear from his view.
Leena laughed. "That's not true. You are just reading too much into it," she said. She knew that Kevin must have ignored Edward on purpose, but she didn't want to admit it. She didn't want Edward to feel embarrassed or unhappy about it.
"I heard that the one who pushed you down is someone from the Ke family?" Rain was so furious when he told him the news. And he had sworn that he wouldn't let this go easily. Edward could understand his anger, because he was furious about it too.
"Um, she didn't exactly push me. She just shoved me a little. She probably didn't think that I would fall down." From the terrified look on Tiana's face, Leena could tell that she hadn't meant to push her. Tiana was also scared that something horrible might have happened to Leena.
"It makes no difference. She is the reason why you fell down. It is only natural that Rain is furious. I have no idea what he is going to do to her." Edward wasn't going to stop Rain. If he were Rain, he would have been even more aggressive and she would have been done for by now. When he had received the news that Leena was in the hospital, his blood had frozen in fear. Leena was the apple of their eye and none of them could bear it if something happened to her or her baby.
Tom had just finished her check-up when Kevin walked into Louisa's hospital room. Luckily, the drug hadn't affected any of her organs. He prescribed some medicines to help her get over the reaction of the drug.
"Hello, commander," Daisy greeted him in a polite tone. Though she didn't like Louisa much, she still had the highest respect for her father.
"Oh hello, Daisy. How come you are here?" The commander had a tired look on his face. It looked like he was worried sick about his daughter.
"Oh, I have come here to visit Leena. And I heard from Kevin that you were here." Daisy nodded at the commander's wife. She always acted cold and distant in front of people she didn't know very well.
"Well, thank you for coming over. Louisa has been staying out late with her friends recently, and we have gotten used to it. We didn't think something like this would happen to her," the commander said, as he lowered his head in shame. He had failed as a father, and he felt even more shameful admitting it in front of his subordinates. Though he was such a successful soldier, he was still a miserable father.
"Didn't Miss Ye go home last night?" On their way to Louisa's room, Kevin had filled her in on what had happened. She was curious about the time when Louisa had got drugged and kidnapped, because she didn't think that the criminals would dare to kidnap a commander's daughter in broad daylight. Louisa must have been drugged and taken last night.
"No. We thought that she was staying at her friend's. She often does that now. That's why we paid no mind to it." Ever since she had realized that she could never have Kevin, she had sort of started giving herself away too freely. She would go out drinking with her friends almost every night. And she never told her parents where she was.
"Okay. Anyway, this is not the right time to talk about that. It can wait till she wakes up. The most important thing right now is her well-being." Even if they managed to grab these criminals, there were many others just like them all over the world and they could never fully get rid of them. So, the only option was for the women to be careful and mindful of their surroundings. They would have to watch out for themselves and be aware of the people around them, in case things like this happened.
"Doctor Qin is treating her right now. I believe she will recover soon. Then we will know exactly what the hell has happened." As a commander and the father of the victim, he was angry and also shameful that his daughter got drugged and kidnapped under his very nose. It was like a slap to his face. He had to take down the criminal group, no matter what, to get revenge for what they had done to his daughter and also to save his face.
"I am going to give Mr. Yi a call and see how the case is proceeding," Kevin said, and left the room to call Mr. Yi. He stood in the long hospital corridor, with the phone to his ear. Under the pale light, his military uniform seemed even greener, making him look more handsome. He was really a charming man, even when his face was so serious.000000
