"You're right, Mom," Eden said, closing his eyes lightly. A feeling of uncertainty over the future stirred his insides. As medical staff, he learned the hard way that sometimes, he was just a weak and small dot in the grand scheme of things. Despite the long hours of learning how to serve the public, there were still instances when he had no choice but to watch a young man die in front of him.
When Patricia noticed him resting, she thought he was simply tired because of the long flight he had. So she didn't bother him anymore with questions, and slowed down on purpose to lull him to sleep.
Meanwhile, on the army base, was Daisy hanging up the phone. She then got up from her seat, and walked to the Commander's office.
Knocking on the door, she pushed it open after hearing the permission from inside.
"Commander Gu, are you busy right now?" Daisy asked in a humorous tone. "Should I come back later?" Given that Kevin Gu didn't even bother to look up at her, she couldn't help but yank his chain a little.
"Oh! It's you. What's the matter?" Kevin asked gently, glimpsing up from his papers. When Commander Ye retired, there wasn't a better person than Kevin Gu to take over his esteemed position. And when he did, no one in the army was dissatisfied with it.
"What? I can't come to you without a motive now?" Daisy teased deliberately, taking a seat on the couch.
"Come on," Kevin said pointedly, putting down his pen. "You know that's not what I meant. Would you like me to make us a cup of tea?" Although his tea-making skills were nothing compared to hers, the tea brewed by him wasn't so bad. It was decent enough to genuinely offer it to her.
"No, thank you," declined Daisy politely. "I'm just here to tell you that Edward said we will have a dinner party tonight at our home. So, as soon as you're off work, be sure to drive straight to our home." With tomorrow being the weekend, it seemed like a great opportunity for them to take a breather from work, and hold a party.
"What about Leena? Does she know about the party?" Kevin asked earnestly. For the longest time, his loving wife always came at the top of his mind. It just felt natural to him. Her happiness and comfort always took precedence over anything else.
"Oh relax! It's impossible to forget anyone. L
Uncle Mu's house for dinner today." The original plan was to have dinner outside. But considering that a lot of people might be dining outdoors because it was the weekend the next day, they changed the plan, and decided to have the party at Edward Mu's house whilst opting for Kate Hotel's door-to-door food service.
"Okay! I heard that the dinner party was for Eden since he's back," Richard said happily. The boys' close companionship was evident to their parents. However, Justin was much older than the rest of the boys, so they would show him some respect occasionally.
Nodding, Leena said, "You're right, yes, but the main reason is that everybody just wants to have a get-together," Over the years, everyone had become so busy with taking care of their own family. So as a result, fewer opportunities had been presented for them to get together.
"Duly noted. What about Dad? Will he be there, too?" Leena couldn't help but smile a bit as they entered the car. The young man inherited Leena's striking appearance, yet possessed Kevin's upright and stern attitude. Maybe that was why he looked mature, but it might have also had a lot to do with his military uniform.
"Yes! But he might arrive a little bit later than us. He did say we should go ahead first," Leena replied while driving.
"Mom, can I ask you a serious question? Do you really have no complaints at all about Dad?" Richard asked curiously. With his hands in his pockets, Richard kept glancing at Leena carefully, trying to read her facial expression.
