Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1636 Call Him Richard (Part Three)

"Don't worry about it. They're just some small scratches. I bet they'll heal quick enough. Wait..." Daisy

paused, looking at Edward's hand as well. "You're hurt too! What happened?" she asked in surprise,

forgetting about her own wounds. When Leena was holding onto her hand earlier, Daisy knew she

would unintentionally end up scratching with her nails. These wounds, though, were nothing compared

to the injuries that she would expect during missions.

"Oh, all right. Now I get it! Was it all Leena's doing? Seems like we're both her enemies who deserve to

be punished." Edward chuckled. It seemed like they were asking for it, in a strange way, since they

simply adored Leena so much.

"Just don't take it to heart," she said, and then looked at Leena affectionately. "I don't even want to call

them wounds. I have to go now. Mark is waiting outside." The new mother was still very much tuckered

out and still asleep.

"All right," Edward said, looking at her. "Let me walk you to the car." Before Daisy could object, he took

her other hand and headed for the door. Although he didn't seem like the type, he displayed his love

and affection brazenly for all to see. Without looking back, he simply ignored the amused people in the

room who were jeering at them.

"Bye, everyone! Please take care of Leena and the baby," Daisy said hastily. Being dragged by

Edward, all she could do was waving good-bye over her shoulder while following him.

"Bye, Daisy!" the others answered in unison. "Don't worry, we'll take good care of them!" "Thanks for

everything, Daisy!" Duke shouted after them, just before they left the room.

"I'm surprised that Edward didn't get mad after knowing that Daisy has got hurt," Rain whispered in a

low voice. "Seems that Leena really has a good influence on him." It was just odd, in his opinion, to see

his overbearing boss just laugh it off. Had it happened another time in the past, Edward would've

definitely flipped out about it.

"Didn't you know?" Tom said, bursting into laughter. "The last time when Leena fell down 'cause of you,

he managed to swallow back his anger and didn't blow up." It probably sounded like an exaggeration,

but Leena was the apple of Edward's eye as well. Seeing her like a real sister, his love for the woman

was no less than Duke's.

"Well," Rain flinched. "That's good to know." 'Thank God, ' Rain thought to himself. 'If I pulled

something else funny earlier, he might have knocked the living daylights out of me!'

After some time, Leena finally woke up. One of her first questions was regarding the baby as she was

eager to see what the little guy looked like. She needed to have a look at what she got after all those

tears she shed from such painful childbirth.

"You're so mean, Leena. We've been worried to death because of you. Shouldn't you at least say thank

you and comfort us first?" Rain asked. Always the most talkative, he was ignored by the others again.

"Haha!" laughed Leena. "So sorry about that. I just wanted to see my baby so much that I forgot to

consider your feelings." She looked at everyone. "Thanks so much, everyone! I'm fine. I hope I didn't

cause you all so much trouble." A sense of happiness enveloped her as she saw everyone's Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

expression. Although Kevin couldn't make it back, she had them to support her. And she had an inkling,

that these men would always be there for her in the future as well.

"We're all good. Rain was just talking nonsense," Tom said, giving Rain the stink eye. "Just a moment,

I'll ask the nurse to get the baby." Knowing Leena wouldn't be able to relax until she saw her son, Tom

went out immediately to have that arranged.

"Eat some soup, Leena," Duke said, passing the chicken soup brought by Lucy. "You need to get back

your strength if you want to hold your baby."

"Sounds great," Leena replied with a sweet smile. "Thank you, brother." She tried to sit up, but

clenched her teeth when she felt pain in her lower body. Edward immediately stood up to help her.

"You don't have to get up," he said. "Let me lift the upper part of the bed so that you can sit up." Even

though he was clueless about what new mothers would go through, he understood why Leena frowned

and offered to help.

"Let me help you eat, Leena," Rain said, walking over to her bedside. "I want to make amends." Every

time he thought of the mistake he committed, he felt resentful. Fortunately, Leena was fine, or he would

have never forgiven himself.

"Seriously?" Leena giggled. "I'm not a baby," Leena refused, although she was smiling. "I think I can

eat fine by myself." Though she hadn't regained her natural color yet, she looked just as sweet like

before.

"Why not let him since he volunteered, Leena?" Duke said, trying to convince her. If someone wanted

to help him with taking care of his sister, who was he to object? He could use all the help he could get

to make his sister feel at home while she was recovering at the hospital.

"All right then," Leena said slowly. After a few spoonfuls, however, the baby was brought in by Tom.

The food was forgotten at once, and all her attention was focused on her son as she reached out to

hold it.

"Here, Leena. Take him slowly now," said Tom, putting the baby carefully in her arms. Maybe the little

guy sensed his mother's presence, as he finally opened his eyes and kept rolling them in Leena's

direction. He looked absolutely adorable with such innocent twinkle in his eyes.

"He has such nice skin. Much smoother than mine," Leena exclaimed. She reached out to touch his

cheek gently, fearing that she might caress him too hard. Looking at his face, her eyes welled up with

tears. A wave of warmth rushed over her, leaving her almost speechless.

"Of course! After all, he's just a baby, while you're a mother already. I'd be surprised if your skin's better

than his!" Rain teased. He, too, liked the chubby little guy very much. His praise for him was almost too

generous for someone like Rain.

"Our doctors did his checkup just now. Everything's fine, except that he has mild jaundice. What you

can do for now is to nurse him in the following days, and from there, we can observe whether it can

clear itself. If not, I'll treat him with blue light radiation," Tom said confidently. As he knew that mild

jaundice in newborn babies was common, due to their livers not being fully developed, he didn't worry

too much. To be sure though, he planned to check the baby's progress himself.

"Is it serious?" Leena, on the other hand, was instantly filled to the brim with worry. Although she had

witnessed Eden receive blue light treatment before, she still couldn't stop herself from worrying when it

happened to her own son.
