It'll Come Naturally

"Leena, I have to tell you the truth. Major General hasn't been eating well and barely had any sleep when you left. He has been working so hard to get the pain off his mind. He used his job to numb himself. Besides, he has lost so much weight that this is the thinnest he has ever been. I am not sure if you have already seen him. So when you do, please don't be too shocked." Lee was not exaggerating at all. Kevin had lost a lot of weight as he lost his appetite and didn't sleep well, having been used to having Leena by his side. He was constantly worried about Leena's well-being and spared no efforts to find her. Only the blind would not notice that it had taken a huge toll on him.

"Really? Why was he so silly? He should have taken good care of himself! If he didn't want to do it for himself, he should have at least done it for me." Leena immediately burst into tears after hearing Lee's words. She was heartbroken by what she had just heard. She didn't expect that her sudden leaving would hurt Kevin that much. She knew it would stress him out a bit but she never thought that it would be this bad. If she had known that this would happen, she would never have left at all. Now she had only herself to blame. "Major General said that as long as he waited for you, you would definitely come back. And he was right. You are back now. I believed the Major General when he said it. He completely trusted and believed in you." Lee had never been in love. That was why he couldn't understand how love would affect Kevin so much. Love was indeed a very strange thing that could cheer one person up and completely destroy another at the same time. Now he knew that he had to be cautious when it came to love.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"I am really sorry, Lee! I didn't know it would turn out like this." Leena bit harshly at her lower lip. She wanted so badly to turn back the time so she could undo all the pain and suffering that she had caused her beloved husband. She should never have left him alone. In her desire to not share the emotional pain of her inability to conceive, she had actually caused more harm to him, almost costing his life. Leena hated herself for this.

"Leena, you don't need to say sorry. Major General told me that he would never blame you. He only blames himself for not having taken good care of you. That's what he told me." Lee was speaking to Leena on Kevin's behalf. It seemed that Kevin couldn't stop talking about her, and Lee had to listen to all of it. He repeated every word that Kevin had ever told him about Leena. So now, he also wanted to see Leena and Kevin make up and be happy together.

"I was too selfish, wasn't I? I only considered my own feelings and completely ignored everybody else. That's the reason why I hurt not only Kevin, but also the people who love me." Leena was aware of what she had done. She hurt so many people by leaving without a trace and without even a note. There were no words to describe how remorseful she felt. She hoped that she could make it up to them in some way, sometime very soon, if they'd give her a chance.

"Leena, you are wrong. You are not selfish at all. If you were really selfish, you would not have come back the second you heard that Major General was in danger, and you would not have sent us so many things on Major General's behalf. I know that you did all those things because you love him so much. I don't ever doubt the love between you two. It's just that you chose the wrong way to protect him, thinking you could solve your problem on your own." Lee was being very honest. He didn't care that the woman in front of him was his Major General's wife. He just wanted to say what was on his mind. That was why he told Leena all these words without any reservation.

"What are you two talking about? And why have you become a crying mess again, Leena?" Tom had changed into his casual clothes after the operation. After having a shower and freshening himself up, he couldn't fall asleep so he left the doctor's lounge and came back out. He now looked much better, at least not that tired.

"Tom, do you know when Kevin is going to wake up?" Leena quickly wiped her tears. Tom was right, she cried a lot just now. But she didn't care at all. Now, all she could think about was Kevin, and Kevin only. She just wanted him to wake up and get better.

"That is hard to tell. It depends. You know, the operation being successful doesn't mean that he is completely out of danger. You should know. It happened to you before. Now, all we can do is wait for him to wake up. But I think that his condition is promising as long as he doesn't have any complications. Besides, I don't think that he is in a coma." Tom was being honest and didn't want to hide anything from Leena. After all, he could never hide something as important as her husband's chances of survival and recovery. And Leena must know about this already.

"Yeah. I know that." Leena tried her best to smile, but to Tom, it was just a grimace. She was still worried that Kevin would not wake up soon.

"Don't worry. He will be okay," Tom comforted her. He didn't want to see his sister so sad and worried. He would try his best to help Kevin recover from his injuries. He would never let anything happen to him, even if it was just for Leena's sake.

Just as Tom predicted, Kevin had a fever later. Maybe it was because he had been caught in the rain for a period of time and his immune system was weak. That was the most probable reason why his temperature would not go down.

Tom tried everything he could think of to make his fever go away. But nothing really worked. But still, to his relief, Kevin's condition didn't get worse, and his situation was way past the danger zone. That was something that they all wanted to see. He just hoped that Kevin could get through all of this.0000☐☐☐
