It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1276 Time To Get Up (Part Four)

"Thank you for your kind reminder, Dr. Qin. I will see to that." said Kevin in full respect. He had always thought highly of doctors as they rescued people and saved lives. He honored Tom for saving his wife's life and he would be eternally in debt to him for that. "You don't need to be formal with me. You can simply call me by my first name, Tom." A warm smile made it to Tom's face as he calmly said those to Kevin. He wanted him to call him by his first name just like how the rest did. He was looking at Kevin as a part of his family now since he wasn't holding any grudge against him anymore.

"Thank you!" Kevin was no fool. Of course, he understood the message between Tom's lines. He appreciatively patted Tom on the shoulder and gave him a big warm smile. He was determined to change these people's view about him through his hard work, including Edward's.

"Don't worry too much about it. My best wishes to you. I need to carry on with my duties in other wards. Please try to talk to Leena as much as possible. Especially about the things that matter to her." With these words, Tom walked out of the room. He cast a profound glance at Leena before he closed the door. She meant so much to him and how he wished for her to come back to her senses right now! As he silently closed the door, the other doctors who were waiting outside all gathered up. Together, they moved on to the next ward. No one asked anything as they knew that Tom had a lot in his mind. They were all aware of how important the patient lying inside that hospital room was to Tom and that she shouldn't be disturbed at all.

Back inside the room, Kevin poured some hot water into a clean basin as soon as Tom left. He tested the water temperature carefully before soaking the towel into the basin. He then rinsed it, spread it, and then gently wiped Leena's face with it. He was extra gentle with his every move. Leena was a girl who cared about her looks and Kevin knew that. He was cleaning her face as he knew that she wanted to be pretty all the time.

"My little sleepy cat. It is time to wake up. You are going to be chubby if you keep lying here. Are you sure you want to lie here and end up being chubby?" whispered Kevin softly as he lovingly gazed her sleeping face. He remembered that her biggest fear was looking fat and ugly. Thus, he deliberately chose that topic to scare her. He hoped for his words to encourage her and wake her up from her long sleep!

Not many knew but Leena could hear his familiar voice echoing inside her ear. She knew that it was from someone she had a great bond with. It was the same voice that had been calling her million times and was always there when she needed it most. How she wished to open her eyes and look at the owner of the voice. It sounded so sad and so distant. Her heart ached whenever the voice sadly called her name over and over again. However, she simply couldn't open her eyes no matter how hard she tried. Her world was surrounded by darkness and it felt like she was shackled to it.

"Nana, my beloved, is this how you want to love me? Is it supposed to be like this? You are ignoring me here! I am just sitting next to you, watching you sleep away. I know that you may be indulging in your beautiful dreams right now and wish not to wake up. Nana, I am giving you one more day. After that, you have to wake up for me. If you do not wish to see me anymore, I have to go away and leave you alone. Think about what you are gonna do carefully. Is your beautiful dream more important than me, your husband?" Kevin buried his head in his palms and painfully mumbled the words out. He knew it sounded hurtful and harsh but he was at the edge of breaking down himself. He had desperately tried every possible thing but none of them worked. Now he even used pointless threats just to wake her up. He wasn't even sure if Leena could hear him or not.

It was the word 'husband' that triggered Leena's memories. Everything flashed through her mind like a bolt of powerful lightning. Who was her husband? Leena searched beyond the darkness and tried to replace the answer to her question. She couldn't see nor hear. However, the agony of that voice was so strong that it cut through her heart. Uncontrollably, her heart sank down as if it was falling into an endless abyss. She couldn't replace a way to answer the calls. She didn't even know where was that sad, deep, and heartbreaking voice coming from. Her head was full of sounds from different directions but she had no memory of what they were. All she could feel now was how helplessly at loss she was.

"Kevin, has Leena woke up yet?" Shannon showed up with a big thermal bottle in her hand. She also brought some other daily essentials for them in a bag. Kevin was always by Leena's side around the clock and Shannon had to run errands for him so that he could have the things at hand without leaving Leena.

"Mom, I am so scared. Do you think that she will keep sleeping like this and never wakes up?" Kevin's mouth trembled. It was difficult for him to ask such vulnerable question. He couldn't hide his fear anymore before his mother. He emptily stared at his mother as he desperately tried to seek some positive answers from her. His eyes were red but he was holding his tears back bravely. He couldn't break down right now. Leena needed him.

"Hey, don't say things like that. It is too discouraging. Leena is just tired. She is now resting. I am sure that she will wake up as soon as she has enough sleep. It has only been two days since she fell into this coma. We should all be positive. She will definitely wake up soon!" Shannon gently patted her son's shoulder and gave him a supportive look. She looked stern. The last thing she wanted to hear from his mouth was discouragement. They should stand firm and keep their faith in this situation.

"Exactly, please be optimistic for her! Quit your stupid ideas, Kevin. Leena will be fine. After all, she loves you to bits and would never leave you behind. She would never ever hurt your feelings!" Claire's attitude surprised Shannon. She was glad to see the change in her daughter. She found it unbelievable that her spoiled daughter now acted elegantly and properly in front of others. It seemed that she had matured a lot. It was to Shannon's greatest joy that her daughter was no longer a childish brat. Smiling generously at her daughter, Shannon was thankful that Kevin and Leena brought her here in S City. Finally, she didn't need to worry about Claire anymore.

"I truly hope so. I would do anything to wake her up. I keep comforting myself that she will wake up eventually!" A bitter smile cracked Kevin's handsome face. He then looked away as he tried to hide his tears before his family. He was a strong man of few words. He didn't wish to reveal his vulnerability in front of his close ones.

"Don't worry too much about it. Come here and drink some of this soup I made for you. You have lost a lot of weight these days due to the stress. You are worrying me, child! It would be a huge irony once Leena wakes up and she replaces you ill." Shannon's voice was also trembling despite the braveness she tried to put on. As she carefully poured the soup out of the thermal bottle into a bowl, she tried to keep her hands calm. She needed to look after her Kevin well. Her beloved daughter-in-law was already ill. She couldn't afford to lose her son. The bare thought of Kevin falling ill would destroy her confidence instantly!

"Thank you for the soup, Mom. I am sorry for making you worry." Kevin took the bowl from his mother's hands and said gently to her. He knew that he should do anything he could to please his mother. He couldn't just let his mother worry this much, right? Moreover, he couldn't afford to break her heart.

"Claire, please bring the rest of the soup to Dr. Qin. He has been busy working for Leena these days. I would like to thank him for his effort." Shannon said warmly as she handed the thermal bottle to her daughter. She only knew about Tom yesterday while she was dining out with the others. Of course, she had also met other close friends of Leena. These men were really outstanding and she couldn't help but feel proud of Leena upon learning how everyone around her loved her. As the saying went, birds of the same feathers flock together. Judging from the manners of Leena's friends, Shannon could easily tell that Leena was a nice girl herself without doubt.00
