It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1322 A Broken Heart (Part Three)

"Ha! Tom Qin, I'm telling you. You can't just ask me to love someone else. I'm entitled to follow my heart regardless if you accept me or not." That was it! Patricia's tears began to spill no matter how hard she tried to control it. She couldn't even understand why was she

being humble in front of him. Had she fallen this deeply in love with him even before she realized it?

"I know I can't force you to do something but please stay away from me," Tom said before turning to Leena. "Leena, I'm tired and I want to take a rest. Take her to another doctor to replace the dressing," he added with finality. He was tough and unwilling to take no for an answer. He doted on Leena but that didn't mean that he felt the same for her friend.

"Tom..." Leena still wanted to persuade him but then stopped upon seeing his gloomy face. Tom barely lost his temper and t was more than obvious that he had come to the end of his patience now.

She was still staring at Tom when a burst of loud laughter suddenly took both of their attention; it was from Patricia. She was laughing as if she heard a really funny joke. However, she wasn't able to hide the bitterness on her face no matter how hard she tried. "Leena, let's go! Stop begging him." Patricia dragged Leena out of Tom's office. She didn't want to act like a poor beggar. She couldn't even accept the thought that she was actually begging for Tom to love her.

"Patricia, are you okay?" Leena asked anxiously as they left Tom's office.

"I'm all right. Don't worry." Patricia dried her tears with the back of her hand and gave Leena a reassuring smile.

"I'm really sorry. I don't understand how it turned out like this," said Leena. She felt really guilty for bringing Patricia to Tom. She used to be in the same situation as Patricia and she could perfectly understand how she was feeling now.

"Ha! Silly woman! Why are you apologizing? Let's go and replace another doctor." Just some minutes ago, Patricia had thought that there was still a chance for Tom to love her as long as she worked hard. However, it seemed that she was wrong. Working hard for his love would never be enough. And now, she didn't know what else she could do about her feelings anymore.

Meanwhile, Tom sat in his chair with his eyes both shut. He knew that he had said too many harsh words earlier, and frankly, he could still be crueler than that. He didn't really care about how brutal he was when it came to Patricia as all he wanted was for her to give up. He believed that a couple should love each other voluntarily. Anything forcibly done just to gain one's love was greatly unagreeable. Patricia might be pretty but that didn't mean that she was his cup of tea. Thus, he could only turn her down.

Tom let out a deep resigned sigh as he picked Leena's health records. He had collected these reports when she had been admitted in the hospital. His colleague from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department said that it would be hard to get Leena pregnant because of her weak body. She must improve her health first. Thus, he decided to spend some time sorting the problem out. He had planned to talk with Leena about this, but Patricia had been by their side. Therefore, he needed to delay their discussion about this as it was not yet the best time to do so.

"Kevin, I'm going to Paris tomorrow. Are you okay with that?" Leena rested her head on Kevin's desk and stared at him right in the eye. Actually, she should have gone to Paris a couple of days ago. However, Patricia had moved in and she had to postpone her schedule. Now that Patricia had recovered and moved out, Leena decided to leave the next day.

"How many days are you going to stay there?" Kevin answered in a relaxed tone. He had no objection to her plan and just wanted to know when would she be back.

"I don't know yet. Maybe a week, or half a month." To be honest, Leena didn't want to leave Kevin. Just the thought of them being separated for an hour already felt like torture to her. She wasn't even leaving yet and here she was, missing Kevin already. "Wow! That's a lot of days. What if I miss you?" It was rare for Kevin to show his true feelings to Leena. Thus, Leena was suddenly amused by how childish Kevin looked.

"Ha! That's my line!" snapped Leena while giggling. His reaction made her really happy.

"That just means that we feel the same way and we don't really want to leave each other." Kevin pulled her over, made her sit on his lap and then buried his face at her neck. He took a deep breath against her skin and smelled her unique scent.

"Sometimes I feel like I'm in a dream and I'm scared to wake up. What if we are still strangers once this dream is over?" Leena embraced his head and then stroked his hair tenderly. She knew that she was young and she still had a lot to learn. She had been trying so hard to learn how to love him, how to take care of him and how to forgive him.

She was still deep in her thoughts when Kevin suddenly pinched her cute face mildly as he stared at her with eyes full of affection. "Does it hurt?"

"Ouch! Why did you do that?" Leena pursed her lips as she grumbled. Then she cast Kevin a blaming stare.

"If you feel the pain, then you are not in a dream." Kevin kissed her on the same cheek to comfort her.

"Bad boy!" blurted Leena. She beat on his chest with her fists. She might be acting angry right now but she honestly loved this moment.

"Hey, stop that! What time is your flight tomorrow? Have you bought the ticket?" Kevin asked as he grabbed her fists. Leena wasn't the type who would interfere with his work and neither was he to her. Their love was based in respect and it was simply the best there was.
