It'll Come Naturally -
Chapter 1275 Time To Get Up (Part Three)
"How could dad possibly think of her like that? From my point of view, Kevin seems to have a better career because of Leena's help. She is truly an ideal wife and good life partner for my brother." Since Claire was brought up in a typical family of high ranking officials, she had been taken good care of and didn't know much about the business concerning her own brother. It was her ignorance that gave her many doubts about her brother's marriage. She gazed at her mother's face earnestly and hoped to replace answers from her. "My dear, you are way too naive when it comes to the hidden rules in the officialdom. It is considered a big taboo when officials have business connections. People are strongly against the collusion between government officials and business owners. Your father is deeply concerned that Leena's family would contribute negatively to your brother's career. Sometimes, bad rumors can literally destroy a person and his future. To be honest with you, I am also slightly worried about it." As she was explaining to her daughter, Shannon carefully put the cooked soup into a thermal bottle and sealed it tight. Then she looked up and fondly gazed back at her daughter in an attempt to soothe her concerns. She still believed in Leena despite the little worry she had. In her opinion, Leena was well brought up and her parents were decent people. Shannon had every reason to believe that her daughter-in-law was a trustworthy girl and deserved everyone's love and care.
"Oh dear, this is quite shocking! I don't believe it at all! Business is just business. I don't think Leena's family has anything to do with the army base! Dad was just throwing false accusations around! He shouldn't be this stubborn. At least, he should view things without any bias!" Claire smirked and shook her head in disbelief. She was with her mother on this one. She didn't think that Leena's family was a hindrance to her brother's career at all. Based on what she knew about Leena, her family was powerful and strongly connected to everything. They didn't need to rely on others just to maintain their well-off life.
"Alright, I'm done packing the soup. Let's go now! It has been a long night. I wonder if your sister-in-law already woke up. Claire, you should have taken my advice and stayed away from Louisa, but you just wouldn't listen to me. Now you see, things have gone out of control. Such bad luck! I feel so sorry for Leena." A soft sigh escaped Shannon's chest as she touched her daughter's forehead. She knew that there was something wrong with Louisa. She had feared that Louisa would cause trouble and harm others. It was unfortunate that her fear did come true and there was nothing she was able to do to prevent it from happening. Now things were even worse than she had imagined.
"Mom, I am so sorry. I have not contacted her since then," said Claire guiltily with her lips pouted. In fact, It would be impossible for her to contact Louisa even if she wanted to. That cunning woman had already turned her phone off for good. There was no way for Claire to reach her and scold her anymore. That made Claire feel like she was double-crossed.
Another night had passed but Leena remained lying on the hospital bed. There was not even the slightest sign of her waking up soon. Even Kevin who had been convincing himself to be optimistic seemed to replace his hope quite slim. His heart was getting terrified. His hands couldn't help but shake as he was scared of his own thoughts. He was in that situation when he saw Tom walked into the room. He rushed to greet him with the sincerest question, "Dr. Qin, how is my Leena? Is she waking up soon?" Kevin's face wasn't shaved and he looked messy. It was a good thing that he was not in his military uniform, otherwise, it would be a blasphemy to the army. He might be tired but it was still undeniable how handsome he was.
"Her vital signs are all normal at the moment. I need to study her case further to provide a better method to wake her up. Meanwhile, you should keep talking to her. Try to say something that would stimulate her memories and thoughts. In that way, we might help speed up her wake-up process. Hopefully, it would work on her." Tom's eyebrows furrowed as he was also distressed about Leena's slow progress. Things were not getting as better as he had expected. He thought that she would already wake up by this morning at the latest. However, Leena was still sound asleep with no sign of waking up anytime soon. She looked absolutely peaceful and beautiful as she slept like she wasn't bothered by any earthly duties anymore.
"Thank you for the advice. I will talk to her." sighed Kevin. He had been talking to her all this time. He wanted her back to him so much. He usually leaned closer to her and whispered to her ears softly whenever he got the chance. His words for Leena were all genuine and uplifting, but she seemed to be deaf to all of them. Despite his constant effort, Leena never moved, not her eyes or even her fingertips.
"You look very tired. Slack a bit, will you? You also deserve a good rest. It is pointless to look after her every single minute. Have a break, otherwise, you will fall ill yourself. You need to look after yourself as well." Tom shot Kevin with a concerned look. Leena might be the patient here but that didn't mean that Kevin could abuse himself. He cared for Kevin too. He never thought highly of Kevin before since he knew very little about him. However, as time went by and they got to know each other better, Tom found Kevin was a really nice man. He felt truly happy for Leena for marrying such a decent man like Kevin. In his opinion, the two were a perfect match. There might be many people in the world, but not all were fortunate to be married with their rightful match.
