It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1259 You're Just Tired (Part Two)

"Babe, our fates have been entwined since the day you got drunk and came to me. You stirred up my life and you should take the responsibility. Are you listening? How dare you pretend to be asleep and keep avoiding me?" Kevin was pouring out his feelings of love for Leena. At that moment he regretted having not done it earlier when he had the chance. Human beings couldn't realize mistakes until the very last moment. Regret always came last.

In Leena's subconscious, her mother was looking at her intently with a gentle, comforting face, and calling out to her in a loving voice. However, she had been waiting too long, and ended up being badly hurt. She needed her mother's shoulders to lean against and her mother's soothing voice to repair her broken heart. She longed for everything related to motherhood, her maternal warmth, care and calmness. She started to walk towards her mother who, she knew, would never hurt her.

"Christ! Her heart beats are getting weaker and far in between, we're starting to lose her. Call Doctor Tom, right now!" said an assistant calmly but with a noticeable panic in her voice, picking up speed with her every movement. In response, a nurse rushed outside the room, looking for Tom. The atmosphere in the room got more and more tense, with the monitoring machines and their beep sounds going faster.

Kevin looked around him, confused and scared, not knowing what was happening. But he knew that it wasn't something good. He gripped Leena's hand more firmly. Life or death had never been a big deal for him. However, for the first time, he was scared by the prospect of losing the only woman he really loved and cared about.

"Nurse, prepare for defibrillation. Kevin, go out now!" said Tom hurriedly and in a commanding voice. He rushed into the ward, took a look at Leena, and snapped out his orders. Time was of the essence, and he had got no time to babysit Kevin's feelings. "Tom, please save her," said Kevin in a pleading voice. Kevin's lips trembled, and his face looked drained of blood.

"Don't worry! I'm doing my best," replied Tom. "Now go!" Tom frowned. He must save Leena's life at all costs. He didn't need anyone, not even Kevin to tell him that.

"One more word with Leena before I go." Kevin then whispered in Leena's ears with infinite love. Then, he turned round and left, looking back at his wife. At such a critical moment, he must have faith in Tom, and allow him to do his job as a doctor.

"Start the defibrillation, 360J, one time." Tom couldn't bear to do this to Leena, his beloved sister. However, to save her life, he had no choice. If she had enjoyed good health and had a strong will to live, falling into water would never kill her. However, things did become unpredictable sometimes and there was nothing that anyone could do about it. To make matters worse, she might have developed complications.

"Do it again. 360J twice." Tom's handsome face changed colors. Looking outwardly composed, he was actually in a state of utter panic. He actually had doubts in his own skills and Leena's will to survive was worrying.

Suddenly, "Doctor Tom, she is responding!" an assistant cried with joy. She couldn't believe that this woman's heartbeat came back to normal only after two doses of defibrillation.

"Don't be overjoyed just yet. It's better to err on the side of caution," said Tom, barely concealing the pure relief and happiness in his heart. Tom read the electrocardiographic oscillogram, and cast a quick glance at the door. It was weird that Leena's heartbeat returned to normal so quickly. Kevin's whispers must have greatly strengthened her will to fight for her life. As for what had Kevin told her, Tom could only guess.

As soon as Kevin strode out of the ward, all eyes were fixed on him. Clearly, all of them wanted to know what happened inside and why Tom was called back suddenly and in a frenzy.

"It's fine. Everything's under control," replied Kevin, putting on a forced smile. Kevin said this either to comfort himself or to relieve other people's worries. On top of that, he refused to look pessimistic about Leena's conditions. He knew deep down that he and Leena had a long life ahead.

A hush descended over the waiting crowd. They gazed at one another, and then kept quiet. Fear clutched at their hearts. A few moments later, when they saw Tom coming out from the room, they all cast inquiring glances at him, hoping to hear something from him. Any news was better than nothing.

"What is the situation?" asked Edward. Even Edward felt helpless and irritated at this moment, knowing nothing and having nobody to explain anything to him. The waiting outside had become unbearable.

"She's stable for the time being. You can all go home and have a rest now. I'll stay here and take care of her. No need for all of you to waste time waiting here. Go home, take a shower and hope for the best," said Tom in a tired voice. He rushed to the hospital from an academic seminar, after he received Luke's call. It had also been a long and exhausting day for him.

Kevin felt relieved when he finally got some positive news from Tom. He felt calmness return to him, and smiled his thanks. He knew Leena must have heard his whispers and decided to fight her way back to him.

"I have got more important things to do than rest," replied Edward coldly. 'Commander, it's not my fault. First of all, your daughter has crossed the line. Didn't she know that Leena's my sister and my family? Even I don't dare lay a finger on her. But your daughter easily put her life in danger. Shouldn't I have a nice talk with your girl?' thought Edward inwardly.

"Where are you going?" asked Daisy alertly. Daisy saw Edward's face contort with anger. Deep inside, she knew that something was wrong.

"Can I go with you guys?" asked Rain wickedly. Since Tom had asked them to go home, staying in the hospital wouldn't help. Knowing nothing about medicine, Rain knew he was no use if Leena needed further medical attention. Instead, he had determined to go out and avenge Leena.
