It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 185

"Colonel, what happened here?" Kevin asked, looking at the injured soldiers. Seeing Daisy was bleeding again, he felt sorry for her.

"I'm fine. I just had a competition with Hank." Daisy answered him indifferently with a faint smile. The pain in her arm was reminding her how hard that punch was.

"What's wrong with him? Why is he so keen on competing with you?" Kevin didn't like Hank's narrow-mindedness. 'A man holding a grudge against a woman. Who does that?'

"Who knows? He's an odd duck, and always forces his will on others." Hank had competed with Daisy many times, but never won. Nonetheless, he kept trash talking her, saying she hadn't obtained her military rank through hard work. Of course, it wasn't true, but she didn't know why he thought like that.

"Ignore him. Let's go! I'll take you to the infirmary and have the wound bandaged again. If it keeps re-opening, the wound will never heal." Kevin knew that some people had problems with Daisy privately, but Hank was the first to make a public spectacle of his problems.

"I can go by myself. It's just a small injury. You go back to your work." Daisy didn't want to bother him with such a small wound. With the war game approaching, he had to be as busy as she was.

"Fine. Take care. Watch that. You don't want it to get infected." Kevin didn't insist, although he never stopped caring about her. He didn't want to pressure her.

"OK. Mark, let's go." Daisy nodded at Kevin and walked toward the infirmary.

Kevin stayed for a bit. Watching her back, he thought, 'Daisy, I'm getting married tomorrow. I'll have my own family. Everything between us will be bygones. I won't express my love for you anymore but will cherish it from the bottom of my heart.'

He didn't know whether he could fall in love with another woman, but when he proposed to Leena, he resolved to be faithful to their marriage and responsible for Leena. He would bury his love for Daisy inside him and keep his feelings in check. He didn't want to hurt another woman.

'Will Leena come tomorrow?' He wasn't sure. No reasonable girl would think that a total stranger could make her happy.

In the afternoon, the sun beat down strongly, but Kevin couldn't feel it. He didn't know what he was trying to hold on to. If he wanted to forget Daisy, he would have listened to his father and gone back to the capital city. But why did he want to stay? Just because of Daisy?
