Ch. 30: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 30

Chapter 30In Bonnie's eyes, Norah and Kevin seemed like a good match. She wanted to ask Kevin if he could find happiness with her, but before she could, Bonnie's tone shifted. With a smile, she said, "I just said a few words, and here you are defending your husband. Norah, I know you love Kevin very much. That’s his blessing. He couldn’t find a wife like you even in eight lifetimes. Maybe he suffered too much as a child, but now that he’s grown up, he must be blessed."

Norah was puzzled. "Didn’t he have a good life as a child?"

She assumed that Kevin must have had a happier childhood than most, given his privileged upbringing.

Bonnie’s expression changed briefly, but she quickly masked it with a casual smile. "Let’s not dwell on those things. Kevin probably doesn’t want to talk about them. I just hope you’ll let me hold my grandson soon."

Bonnie had dreams of retiring and caring for a grandchild, envying her friends who already had grandchildren. She looked forward to the day she could show off her grandson and make her friends envious.

Meanwhile, Bianca was in the middle of a photo shoot, but she wasn’t feeling well. Bonnie's harsh words had left her feeling down, and she was also experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia.

Kevin happened to be on patrol and noticed Bianca sitting down, surrounded by people tending to her. He was known for his punctuality, and when he checked the time, he realized something must have gone wrong. He walked over and asked, "What’s the matter?"

Cleo, Bianca’s assistant, turned around and, with a tone of concern, said, "Ms. Lynch isn’t feeling well."

Kevin’s voice was cold as he asked, "Wasn’t she fine yesterday?"

Cleo glanced at Bianca and explained, "Ms. Lynch went to the mall this morning. It was cold, but she wanted to repay you for a favor, so she bought a coat. But she ran into Norah…"

Bianca gently tugged at Cleo's clothes, her voice weak. "Don’t say anything, I’m fine."

Kevin noticed Bianca’s pale face, and a look of regret flickered in his eyes. She looked fragile and pitiful, with red eyes. He frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"

Cleo continued, "Ms. Lynch met Norah at the mall. She tried to greet her politely, but Norah insulted her, saying she was thick-skinned and didn’t belong in a place like that. Ms. Lynch was already in low spirits, and with her health being poor and her workload heavy, she couldn’t bear the added stress."

Bianca’s eyes filled with tears again. "Kevin, I’m fine. Once I feel better, I can finish the shoot quickly."

Kevin turned to his colleague, Kian, and said, "Call the medical staff over."

"It’s okay," Bianca quickly interjected.

Kevin looked at her and said gently, "Don’t overwork yourself. If you’re not feeling well, you should see a doctor. Pushing through won’t solve anything. No matter how important work is, your health comes first."

Bianca felt a bit better after hearing Kevin’s words. At least he seemed to care about her. She nodded, "I understand."

She then handed Kevin a gift box containing the coat she had bought. "I got this for you. The weather’s getting cold, and you should wear something warmer. I ordered it months ago and just received it. Please try it on."

Kevin accepted the gift with a brief smile. "That’s thoughtful. Now, sit down and rest." He then passed the gift box to Kian, who was standing nearby.

Bianca, however, noticed that Kevin didn’t seem particularly excited or grateful. His lack of emotion made her feel even more downhearted.

Cleo, noticing Bianca’s disappointment, tried to encourage Kevin. "Mr. Edwards, Ms. Lynch put a lot of effort into choosing this coat. Don’t you want to try it on? It would mean a lot to her."

Bianca quickly intervened, "Cleo, stop talking."

Cleo, however, was frustrated that Kevin hadn’t even looked at the coat Bianca had carefully chosen for him. It seemed like all her efforts were in vain.

Although Bianca tried to dismiss it, she secretly hoped that Kevin would appreciate the coat she’d picked out. She kept glancing at the gift box in Kian’s hands.

Just as Kevin was about to respond, his phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket, glanced at the screen, and stepped back a few paces before answering.

As soon as he picked up, a voice on the other end shouted urgently, "Kevin, something’s wrong! Norah has been kidnapped! You need to come quickly!"
