It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1281 Leena Woke Up (Part Two)

"You said it! I heard clearly what you said. You said that you loved me!" Leena blushed scarlet with shyness, which added color to her pale face. "Really? Are you sure of it? You must have misheard it!" Kevin stared at Leena with a big grin on his face, his eyes full of affection for her.

"Come on! How could you deny what you've said? I won't speak to you until you repeat what you've said before," Leena grumbled, pursing her lips. Her energy was starting to come back just because of spending this moment with the man she loved. Leena knew Kevin was trying to make her laugh, so she was pretending to get angry.

Kevin gave her a cunning smile and whispered in her ear, "Nana, I love you. I'll be there, for better or worse, till death do us part." He finally realized his feelings for Leena and showed them to her without hiding. After all, running away from reality did not help solve any problem.

"Kevin, you... you admitted it." Leena stared at Kevin with tears of joy. It was because of Kevin's confession of love that she had woken up from the darkness.

"Yes, I said it. And I will say it every day from now on." He leaned forward and kissed her softly on the lips. He had suffered all kinds of torment in the past two days, and he was not willing to experience that ever again. As long as she was happy, he was willing to say it every day. "Kevin, do you know how long I've been waiting for you to say it? I thought that I would never hear you say it to me in this life. But you just did. Am I still in the dream? I'm so afraid that this is still only a dream." Tears streamed down her cheeks as it had never occurred to her that Kevin would someday actually fall in love with her.

"Silly girl! You are not dreaming. Touch me, and you'll know I'm real and this is not a dream!" Leena's reaction amused Kevin. But he understood her and what she felt, as he knew how much she cared about him and the way he treated her in the past.

"Well, you are real, and you just said those words to me." Leena sniffled and wondered, 'Is this the so-called blessing in disguise?' But who was the lady? Does she have something to do with him?' Leena was indeed a grudge holder. She still remembered the lady who hugged Kevin a couple of days before, despite his confession of love.

"Are you happy now? You've successfully won the heart of the youngest and best Major General in S City." While joking with Leena, Kevin took out his cell phone to text Tom that she had woken up so he could come and give her a thorough examination. Kevin still had fears about her health condition.

"Yes, I'm extremely happy. Is my head easily turned by even a small success? Oh, by the way, I thought you were leaving for some secret mission? Why are you still here?" Leena asked as she suddenly remembered. Was it because of her that he hadn't left? In that case, he would miss his chance to show his deeds of merit.

"Hank has taken over the mission, and we're happy to do that. So don't you worry about me, nor feel guilty about it." Kevin let his eyes settle upon her, for fear that she might fall asleep in the blink of an eye again.

"But Hank hurt Daisy before, right?" Leena asked in confusion.

"Well, people make mistakes, and it's okay for us to turn over a new leaf, right? I also made many mistakes with how I treated you, but now I'm correcting them. And so is Hank. Although he was blinded by his interests, he has tried his best to atone for his misdeeds. So we must give him another chance and guide him so that he would not do them again." With a grin, Kevin explained it to Leena.

"I knew I didn't fall in love with the wrong man, Kevin. You are considerate enough to forgive others for their mistakes and shortcomings." Leena gazed at him with eyes full of affection. Though she was a little guilty that he had given up the opportunity because of her, she was thrilled at the fact that he valued her more.

"So you finally realized it! What a wonderful husband you have! Are you satisfied with your choice?" Kevin flashed a sparkling smile. Men are all a little self-obsessed. Modest as Kevin was, he was also proud when hearing Leena's compliments.

"Help me up please! My back is killing me." Leena cast a glance at Kevin, unable to bear him acting like a peacock. She was stiff all over, probably because she had been in a horizontal position for a long time.

"Sure. Are you hungry? When Doctor Qin gets here, I'll go get you something to eat." Kevin reached out his hands to help her sit up in bed and propped a pillow behind her back so that she could lean against it. "I'm not hungry at all. What time is it? It feels like night time." Leena looked at the window, but it was covered by thick curtains. She had to look away and turned to Kevin.

"It's 4 AM. It's almost dawn." Kevin glanced at his watch to check the time and wondered if Tom was awake or not and whether he had seen his message.

"Why were you not sleeping? You'll be tired and sleepy at work!" Leena said with a frown. Worry was written all over her face. She cared about Kevin so much, despite her own current weak condition.
