It'll Come Naturally

Thank goodness! Leena finally came around. They even thought of all the possibilities and planned for the worst. Now they could finally set their minds at ease. "Naughty girl, you really scared us. We were so worried about you." Rain excitedly gave Leena a bear hug even though he was scolding her on the surface. Duke looked at her, standing frozen. There was a ghost of hesitation on his face. 'I may still be dreaming,' he said to himself. Leena's sweet smile seemed unreal. "Brother," Leena looked over to Duke and acknowledged him. She knew that she had frightened him all this time.

"Do you know what you did? Do you still take me as your brother?" The thought that Leena chose to drown herself instead of swimming to the shallow end of the pool made Duke mad. Kevin broke her heart, while Duke doted on her, but in her mind, Kevin mattered more. "I'm sorry." Leena kept making apologies after getting out of the crisis. She could now see that the wrong decision she made in a moment of weakness greatly affected those who loved her. She shouldn't have acted like a selfish child.

"Cool down, Duke. Leena hasn't completely recovered. She still looks rather pale," Edward tried to smooth things over as he didn't like seeing Duke blame Leena.

Duke frowned but he shut up. Truth be told, he didn't actually have the heart to blame Leena. It was all just for show. He straightened his face just for effect.

"I heard that you are pregnant, Belinda. Congratulations!" said Leena with a grin to cover up her feeling awkward. Although Edward changed the topic, she still dared not look directly at her brother's stoic face.

"Thank you. You will also be an aunt soon," Belinda responded wittily. She knew how to ease the tense atmosphere.

"That's true, but I seem to have been an aunt for a long time." Saying this, Leena thought of Justin. What a little naughty fellow he was! She really missed him. They were as incompatible as fire and water when they stayed together, but she couldn't help missing him when he was away.

"You know, it's different," Belinda spoke in a lazy tone, and at the same time, she gave Edward a challenging look, telling him that her baby was more intimate with Leena.

Edward responded with a grin. He didn't mind Belinda being jealous once in a while.

"I'll keep Leena under observation. If everything is all right, she'll be discharged in the afternoon," Tom butted in coldly. He didn't want Belinda to go any further.

"Hey man! We can afford the expenses. How can my sister be discharged when she has just gotten out of a coma?" Duke gave Tom a hostile glare. He wanted Leena to stay in the hospital for a few more days, so that she could be nursed back to health. "What are you talking about? She has to leave the hospital as she is well and on the way to complete recovery. There are many types of viruses and bacteria around here. It's actually not good for her to stay much longer," Tom shot back, not hiding his irritation. Although Leena had just woken up, there was nothing seriously wrong with her, so she should go home and recuperate there. She wasn't injured, although the drowning might have caused complications. However, there were no major problems, so she didn't need to stay in the hospital anymore.

"What happened to him? I just said that causally. What on earth is he angry about?" Duke turned to ask Edward, his face puzzled. Was Tom going through a tough time?

"How do I know? Since Leena is now doing fine, I don't need to stay here. Do whatever you like." Edward chuckled at Duke's embarrassment. He shouldn't have questioned the gifted doctor's decision. Obviously, it was a deliberate provocation.

"Wait for me, Edward. See you later, Leena. Have a good rest." Rain hurried to keep up with Edward. Too many things had happened recently, and it was too much to take all at the same time. Rain wanted a holiday to relax himself, or he couldn't survive at this rate. "What's wrong with Rain? Last time I checked, he wasn't so keen on working. That's really weird!" Leena shook her head questioningly. As far as she could remember, Rain always fooled around during working hours.

"That's the sort of person he is. He often behaves strangely so leave him alone. I have to go too. I need to make the rounds of the wards." After Tom walked out, the lively ward became quiet.

"We also have to go to work. Take care. Call me if anything happens." Duke jerked his head in Kevin's direction. He still didn't like Kevin, but he had to admit that Kevin had done a good job. He decided to put away his prejudices and accept Kevin as part of the family. "I will. Don't worry and drive safely," Leena said and waved goodbye, smiling broadly. Even in a hospital bed, she was as charming and lovely as always.

"What a siren. I should go. Take care of Leena, Kevin." Belinda realized again that Edward and Duke couldn't fuss over Leena enough.

"I've got everything under control now, Belinda. Trust me. Drive safely," Kevin said to Belinda. He knew that Duke disdained talking to him. Maybe he was still angry about what happened.

"Wow! It's quiet at last. But what did Belinda mean? Who is the siren?" Leena asked Kevin with curiosity. Now that it was just the two of them, the ward had become quiet.

"Forget it. She just said it casually. You've been lying in bed for so long. Do you think you are strong enough to go out for a walk?" Leena nodded in delight. Kevin helped her into her thick coat, ran a hand through her disordered hair and helped her out of bed. "Good idea. I can hardly wait." What Kevin said when she was in a coma suddenly came back to her. Was he fulfilling his promise?

The scenery and environment of Tom's exclusive hospital were much better than those of the general hospitals around the city. Kevin walked slowly with Leena. One of his arms was wrapped around her waist to support her.

"It's only once in a blue moon that we can take a walk like this. It reminds me of the clichéd story in that trendy drama. I used to scorn it, but I didn't think it would happen to me one day." Leena gave a soft smile. She never expected herself to be the heroine in her own story one day.

"I am so sorry that I didn't pay you enough attention and care." Kevin felt guilty. After they got married, he seldom spent time with Leena. It was normal for her to feel that way.

"Never say sorry to me. I don't want you to keep making apologies for the same mistake." Leena looked up at her husband. If people thought that an apology could solve all problems, they would make endless mistakes.

"Okay fine. What a clever girl you are!" Kevin rubbed Leena's nose with affection. He certainly knew what she meant. He really owed her a lot. That was why she would bring it up more often.

Leena felt herself blush. How she wished she could snuggle in his arms like this and be with him forever. Whether he loved her or not, it would be enough for her to have him by her side.

"The girl you saw was Michelle. She is a typical tomboy. I met her by accident when she jumped into my arms to avoid her bodyguard that day. It was really not what you thought." Kevin owed Leena an explanation. He had to make it clear to her, so that she wouldn't continue to be depressed and insecure.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
