My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1687

"Just business." Neil gave Mia a simple and short answer. Upon hearing that, Mia became furious and immediately jumped up. "Neil, are you trying to start a fight?"

Neil pressed Mia back to lie down. He then laid beside Mia and gently stroked her back, saying, "Levi is a soldier. The duty of a soldier is to fulfill all missions given by the country, no matter what. He has no choice, even if the mission might be deadly. You know all of this."

"Yes! I know he is a soldier and I know he has military responsibilities. But as a mother, can't I worry about my son?" Mia understood that. In the past when Neil went on his missions, she experienced the same wave of emotions. Even so, she still couldn't help wanting to know what kind of mission Levi was on and his whereabouts.

Neil could choose not to tell her what kind of mission it was, but couldn't he say some nice words to comfort her?

"He'll be fine. He's smart and strong, and he has a capable comrade by his side. He'll definitely be able to successfully return home." It sounded like those words were directed at Mia, but in fact, Neil was also reassuring himself.

No one knew better than Neil on how dangerous Levi and Monique's mission were, and no one knew better than him about how vicious terrorists could be too.

Those terrorists never treated people as human beings. That was why they killed everyone in sight, including innocent children.

An international anti-terrorism alliance was founded but those countries that weren't threatened didn't give their full support, resulting in little progress in anti- terrorist operations.

Neil raised Levi on his own, therefore he believed in Levi's ability. Nevertheless, he was still a father. There was bound to be a soft side of him.

"I admit that Levi is excellent but he's not almighty. He was seriously injured when he went on a mission last time." During that time, Mia couldn't take care of him and she was rather scared.

Both her husband and son were soldiers, and both of them were equally important to her. She couldn't bear it if either of them were hurt.

"Do you still remember what happened to Levi when he was six years old?" When Levi was six years old, he was always treated harshly by Neil and Mia, which made Levi feel that he wasn't important to his parents. However, every anecdote that happened to Levi when he was young were firmly engraved into Neil's mind.

"How could I forget?" Thinking back to the past, Mia sighed with emotion. She said gently, "Levi and Julien were completely different. That year, Julien was seven while Levi was six. The two of them were so young, yet they managed to save the lives of a few kids who were kidnapped by human traffickers."

Neil continued, "Yes, even though they were just children - they were even younger than the children that were kidnapped too - they still managed to think of a way to help the children escape. They even led the police to the human trafficker's base."

Upon mentioning Levi's heroic deeds, Mia became extremely happy. "That's right, that's right, they were really awesome. Till today, I still haven't figured out how the two children managed to save them."

Neil remarked, "Levi was already very smart when he was just a child, and did a lot of unexpected things. He did it when he was six years old, seven years old, eight years old too... In short, he kept surprising me ever since he was a child."

Mia snuggled closer to Neil and said, "I thought you would despise him because of his mischievousness. I didn't expect you to like his mischiefs that much."

"Don't you understand me yet? In my opinion, children are mischievous by nature, that was why I let him live freely and do whatever he wanted when he grew up." Neil rarely talked to others about his son, so he couldn't stop that conversation at all once he started speaking. "After Levi became a soldier, his performance was also remarkable. As long as he took part in a competition, no competitors could win against him."

Mia proudly continued, "Our son has earned the honor he deserves with his capabilities. He's so outstanding that people even actually think he did not achieve all these by himself but through connections."

Right then, since Levi and Monique ended up in their headquarters, it would be even more difficult to capture them.

It was precisely because Neil knew how difficult it was that he was very worried about Levi's safety.

The more he worried about it, the more he couldn't fall asleep. After thinking for a while, he picked up his private mobile phone and found Levi's phone number. He then typed a message, "Son, your life is as important as completing the mission. Only by being alive can you do more things."

After typing that message, Neil felt that it wasn't appropriate. As the man with the highest military position in Chatterton Town, how could he hint his soldiers that they should prioritize their lives over the mission?

After thinking about it again and again, he deleted the message and typed it again. "Son, when something happens, you must remain calm. Sincerely, your father!"

He used his personal number to tell his son to be careful. He did so as a father, not as a leader. He had always been very clear about public and private matters.

When Levi received Neil's message, he was in the midst of studying Sheldon and Edward.

After he saw Neil's message, his heart felt a surge of warmth. He knew that Neil was worried about him.

In order to reassure Neil, Levi immediately sent a message back. "Neil, tell Mom that Monique and I have agreed to marry each other after we finish the mission and return to Chatterton Town. You two can help us book a few tables when you are free. When we come back, we will invite guests and have a gathering."
