It'll Come Naturally

"Oh! It turns out that you have already touched me all over!" Kevin laughed wildly, intentionally teasing her.

"Ah! No, I didn't mean that!" Leena said as she bashfully lowered her head in embarrassment to avoid meeting his playful eyes.

"I was joking. Don't take it seriously, my silly girl." Kevin had considerably livened up, but he still didn't dare to move. He still felt painfully sore all over his body.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Do you feel anything wrong with your body? Are you alright? I'll ask Tom to check on you," Leena asked nervously when she saw his mouth twitch in pain.

"I'm okay, only feeling a little pain on the spot I got injured. Don't bother Tom." Kevin knew it was normal to feel pain after the surgery, so he didn't think it was necessary to send for Tom.

"I'm sorry." Leena felt guilty again. If only he knew how much she hoped that she could bear the pain for him instead!

"I said it had nothing to do with you. Don't take it to heart." He remembered when the aftershock occurred, he really thought that he would just be buried under the debris and lose his life there. However, Leena's sweet smile flashed through his mind and somehow, he was able to subconsciously dodge the falling debris and hide under the concrete slab. That prevented him from suffering any further harm caused by the aftershock.

"I won't feel relieved until you recover." Leena said as a lump formed in her throat. She found it rather easy for her to shed tears tonight.

"It sounded like you are threatening me." Kevin laughed, but soon he let out a strangled cry because the action of laughing had caused a sharp pain in his lung. He had to restrain himself from laughing.

"What's wrong? Are you in a lot of pain?" Leena felt completely at a loss about what to do when she saw his face twist in misery.

"Nothing. Probably my lungs hurt when I laughed." Kevin reassured her as he tried to make her less worried. It seemed that his lungs were severely damaged, otherwise he wouldn't have such reaction with mere a giggle.

"Be careful. Tom said that all your vital organs were hurt to some degree, and it took him a lot of efforts to revive you. You can't disappoint him." Leena said in a reproachful tone, but her soft voice after the crying made her words less commanding.

"Okay. He must be annoyed because of me. I made too much trouble for him," Kevin said. Right now however, he really wanted to ask her how she got to know that he was injured. But after a second thought, he felt that it was unnecessary now. Who else would spread the information to her except for Jonathan?

"Nope. He's a doctor and his duty is to save people. He just doesn't want to see anyone suffer from any illness." Leena knew Tom cared more about patients' health than feeling troubled.

"Nana. Have I ever told you that I really love you? Please don't leave me again," Kevin said in a torn voice. She left him, and that had made him extremely heartbroken. He felt as if he stood on thin ice and the ground suddenly cracked open, the frigid waters swallowing all his happiness and freezing the love that was deeply rooted in his heart.

"After I left, I've figured out a lot of things. Maybe one day you will mind that we have no child and may distance yourself from me. But even so, I get together with you at least and I will not have regrets," Leena said. She looked at him intently. It was the first time that they talked about this issue face to face. Although she felt demeaned in herself, she really cherished every beautiful moment she spent with him.

"Since we're on the subject already, I'd like to reiterate that even if we can't have our own child in the future, I will never think that you're any less worthy for me. In fact, I will cherish you even more, because what makes you suffer will also make me suffer. And I will always be around to protect you, until the end of my life, regardless of your inability to conceive--so please, don't try to give up our marriage because of this reason, okay?" Kevin said sincerely, his gaze locking with hers. He knew that he wasn't good with sweet words or making romantic vows. He only knew that he deeply loved this woman and his heart would only beat for her until death did them apart.

"Honey, thank you! Thank you for your tolerance and also your unflinching courage. Moreover, thank you for still loving me despite my imperfections," Leena said as her voice was racked with sobs. To her, what Kevin just said was probably the most beautiful whisper of love the world had ever heard.

"My silly girl, when did you suddenly get so emotional?" Kevin said affectionately. He seldom heard her call him honey, so that made him very pleased.

"I'm so lucky to have you around," Leena said with her voice carrying all the tenderness she could hold. She gently planted the softest of kisses on his lips to avoid hurting him.

The unexpected kiss caught Kevin off guard. He looked at her with his eyes wide open in surprise, even forgetting how to react. When he came back to his senses, Leena had already finished the kisses and was looking back at him.

"Tell me, where have you been when you were away?" Kevin said curiously. He really wanted to know what she had been up to when he was not around.00000
