Chapter 1563 How Time Flies (Part Three)
Every time she saw how much Kevin adored Belinda's baby, she would weep in the corner and keep all the tears to herself. It turned out that he couldn't really act like he didn't mind at all. She could see his eyes light up when he was with kids.
"Kevin, how about we adopt a child?" Leena suddenly proposed one day.
"Why? Aren't we good with our life now?" Kevin wasn't very excited about the idea. He didn't want to hurt her. This would cause much more stress to her and possibly drive a wedge into their marriage.
"Yes, we are. But I just think that you may want to have a child." The truth of the matter was, if they really adopted a child, she was not sure if she would handle it well.
"Don't think too much. You don't know how tiring it is to raise a child. Aren't you going to prepare the winter fashion show soon? Why not put more efforts on that?" Kevin embraced her and squeezed her into his arms. His brows furrowed. Did he do something wrong that had unwittingly hurt her? He wondered.
"Okay. I will listen to you." Cuddling up against him, Leena beamed. But deep inside, she felt cold as if there was a snow storm in her heart.
"I will go abroad next month and I will stay there for about eight weeks. Will it be okay for you to be here at home alone?" In fact, besides training, there would be competitions which would be as fierce as ever. They had to cross the rain forest and overcome life-and-death challenges. The one who held on until the last moment would be declared the winner.
"Huh? Is it a military task? Isn't it dangerous?" Leena backed a few steps. She was worried whether his body could cope with it.
"A little dangerous. But don't worry, I will be very careful." As a soldier, it was his obligation to follow the orders. He couldn't have any other choices. But since he loved his job, he would stick to it until the very end.
"You'd better consult it with Tom. You just had surgery." Leena grabbed his cuff firmly. It was not that she didn't want to support his work. She just didn't want to see him get injured before he completely recovered.
"Okay, I'll call him later. Will that make you feel better now?" In fact, he also didn't want to make her worried. But military orders cannot be disobeyed. Moreover if he didn't go, the task would fall on Daisy. It was very dangerous and he didn't want Daisy to take the risk. "No, I will ask him myself." Leena raised her chin slowly and arrogantly, showing disbelief in him.
"What, you don't trust me?" Kevin laughed. Was he a man with such a low credibility in her eyes? He wondered.
"Yes, I don't trust you." Leena blurted out bluntly.
"Okay." Since she was very concerned for his health and safety, Kevin just let her do whatever she wanted.
As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she happened to come across Patricia.
"Leena, what are you doing here?" greeted Patrica. It was a pleasant surprise and she was very happy to see Leena.
"Did you come here for a prenatal check?" asked Leena. Looking at Patricia's bulging belly, Leena felt envious and a little downcast.
"No, I was just dropping by. And you?" Patricia smiled happily. In fact, she didn't expect to get pregnant so soon. It was an unplanned pregnancy. The baby was conceived by accident but she decided to keep it. It would be their biggest blessing and proof of the love between her and Tom.
"I have something to discuss with your husband. Have you seen him? Isn't he in the office now?" Leena asked as she glanced around the office, but she didn't find Tom anywhere.
"There was a emergency case, quite a serious one, and he was called to lead the assessment of the injury and later he will be the head of the surgical team - that is if a surgery is necessary. It will take a while, probably." Patrica had become more voluptuous than before. Her breasts had started to pop out of her clothes, most probably due to her pregnancy. She had become lovely and radiant as an expectant mother!
"It's okay. I can wait. How are you? Are you okay with the morning sickness?" She remembered that Belinda suffered a lot with the morning sickness when she got pregnant.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Probably because I am very strong, I haven't had any morning sickness yet." Knowing Leena's condition, Patrica had qualms about discussing such a topic with her. She worried that she might unwittingly hurt her.
"In the blink of an eye, you have already become an expectant mother from what used to be a car racing, man hating tomboy. How time flies!" Leena said sentimentally. Patricia got married a lot later than her, but she already got pregnant. What about herself? She didn't want to think much of it. She felt inadequate as a woman every time she gave it much more thought.
"Leena, you can if you try. Don't be discouraged, okay? Your time will come. I know it!" Patricia intentionally avoided meeting Leena recently, because she worried that Leena would feel down seeing her pregnant.
"I'm okay. I just thought that time goes by really fast. And it is so true!" Leena gave her a bright smile and tried to get rid of all the unhappy thoughts. Even though she was not pregnant now, she believed that one day her wish would come true.
"That's great. I am happy that you think that way. But, don't push yourself too hard." Patricia patted her shoulder, feeling very sorry for her.
Tom came back soon. The assigned doctor to the emergency case was not sure of his diagnosis, so he conferred with Tom so he could have a look.
"Leena, it has been a long time since you came here last." Tom said while putting down the medical records on the desk. He was quite surprised to see her.
"Oh, no. Tom! This is the hospital. Why would you expect to see me here frequently?" Leena switched naturally from a mature woman to a lovely and sweet girl, as if she had a dual personality.
"Good point! Besides, who makes the rule that people can only come here when they are sick? Right? Well, Since you came, you must have something to ask." Tom recognized what she came for as soon as she finished talking.
"That's why I always told other people that you are a smart guy. You are really a genus." Leena smiled embarrassedly. As expected, Tom saw through her. So she was not surprised at all.000000000000
