It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1170 You Are Kidding Me Again (Part One)

Leena had been smiling mildly since they left Tom's office. It was refreshing that Claire didn't refuse her friendly approach as before. She let Leena hold her arm without any objection. It might not be a huge change, but it was definitely a good start for their budding

relationship.

"Leena, how come your friends are all so excellent?" blurted Claire all of the sudden. She just couldn't hold back the curiosity anymore. Goodness! Why were Leena's friends all elites? First, there were Edward and Rain who were both from FX International and then now, here was Tom, a freaking eligible who owned a hospital!

"Haha! Trust me, you will not replace them as perfect as you think once you get to know them." Leena chuckled in delight. She grew up with these outstanding men and she sure knew all of them like the back of her hand. They might appear to be the coolest and most domineering people ever, but they were all like kind big brothers to her. She couldn't even see nor feel their differences compared to other men.

"Really? Are you kidding me?" Claire furrowed her eyebrows as she shot Leena a doubtful glare. Uncontented, she even looked straight at Leena's eyes in hope of replaceing the truth.

"Yes, of course, it is the truth. Why should I lie to you?" A sincere smile cracked Leena's lips and Claire ended up cutely squinting her eyes to examine her sister-in-law. 'Okay, that smile looks genuine. She couldn't be lying. Oh, her smile is almost dazzling me.' she thought.

Meanwhile, Kevin wasn't even talking as he just stayed quietly, listening to the two. Seeing that his wife and sister getting along well made him feel much more comfortable than ever.

He was in his best mood as he quickly drove his car back to the Grand Apartment. The gentle breeze was blowing outside, and it was adding a bit of chill to the winter night. However, Kevin couldn't care less about it as he stood inside that cozy and warm room. There was a tempting body that was lying face-down on the bed. Her pajama-top was pulled up to the nape of her neck, displaying both her naked back and luscious curves. It was Leena. She just had a sponge bath and was now waiting for Kevin to apply medicines on her wound. "Nana, it might hurt a little, okay? Try to bear it. Scream out if it really hurts. You will feel better after doing it." Kevin's voice trembled a bit as he spoke. He didn't get the chance to see how bad Leena's wound was earlier. Thus, he got a bit shocked once he saw it for the first time. It was terrible! The bruise was so ugly against her smooth and alabaster skin, hence the sudden sorrow and regret flooded him. What he did to the person who injured Leena was not enough! He should have torn him into pieces!

"Ummm, I know," responded Leena in a tiny voice. It was her obedience and sensibility that kept her calm during the incident earlier. She never wanted to make Kevin worry. However, she wasn't able to stop herself from shrinking back and wincing as soon as Kevin's hands started rubbing the medicine to her back and forth.

"Does it hurt?" Seeing his wife's reaction made Kevin's heart heavier. He would definitely feel a lot better if this wound was on his back instead. Nonetheless, he didn't stop his fingers from pressing harder against her wound as that was the only way for it to absorb the medicine better. All he wanted was for Leena to recover as soon as possible.

"If I say yes, will you stop?" Leena was teary-eyed when she turned to him. Her beautiful face was all red and it was obvious that she did not like what was going on now.

"That is impossible but I can consider pressing on it lighter," said Kevin immediately with a forced smile. He pretended not to see her pitiful face as he was afraid that he might stop applying the medicine on her. Leena's pain tolerance wasn't good and knowing that made him want to give in. He let out a deep sigh, shook his head and then lessened the pressure he was applying on her back.

"Well, I know that! I know that you don't cherish me!" Leena complained while pouting. She badly wanted to say something to convert her attention from the pain but then she wasn't able to control what came out of her mouth. Her unintentional words instantly made Kevin freeze.

He was just suddenly standing there while looking at her with his mouth ajar. "I'm sorry." He finally managed to mutter after a long silence. He then turned away, picked another ointment and then continued putting it on her back.

"Uh! Sorry. I am not blaming you. I didn't mean to say that." A frustrated groan escaped Leena's chest. She just said those as a joke. It was not supposed to mean anything at all.

"It's fine. It just makes sense if you want to blame me. I failed to protect you in the first place. You wouldn't be suffering this if I was there on time. I'm really sorry, Nana." He withdrew his hands from her and relaxed his breath. It was a relief that he finally finished applying the medicine to Leena as he didn't need to fray his nerves anymore. Little did Leena know how his heart hurt painfully every time she clenched her fist, trembled, and screamed. It was even worse than the physical pain he felt.

"Kevin, are you angry at me?" Feeling the regret in his words, Leena turned her head again and looked at him. She remained lying on her stomach since Kevin hadn't cued her that he was done.

"No. I'm not angry at you. I'm mad at myself," replied Kevin. "Anyway, I'm finished. You can turn around now." Without any more explanation, he pulled her pajama-top down and then turned to the bathroom to wash his hands. Leena sat up and watched her husband disappear behind their bathroom door. She looked so confused and her mind was in turmoil. She hadn't encountered Kevin's cold side yet and she would never want to confront it.000
