Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1543 I Can't Lose You (Part One)

"Kevin, you can't just leave me like this. Wake up! Please! I can't lose you. Please wake up." Kevin was

lying right there in the hospital bed in front of her, but she felt he was a million miles away. It was the

first time she ever felt this way. She just looked at him, but he gave no response, not even a smile.

Nothing in the world could be more painful than this.

"Why are you doing this? Is it because I left you? I came back. Do you hear me? Oh God, please wake

up!" Leena's tears fell on his hands. At that moment she realized that when she left, it hurt him as well

as herself.

"I'll never leave you this time. I won't leave you again, even if you drive me away with a stick. Maybe I

can't have kids, but that's okay. It's really okay. I don't want anything. I only want to be with you." She

decided that after the accident, she was going to go after what she wanted. As for Kevin's family, she

would work really hard to earn their understanding.

"I'm sorry Leena. We need to fix his intubation. I need to boot you out." Tom entered the room again.

Kevin was still under observation, so Leena couldn't stay in the ward for too long.

"OK." Leena nodded and let go of Kevin's hand. She knew it was about Kevin's life, so she had to listen

to Tom. As she left the room, she couldn't help looking back at Kevin in his bed.

"It's all right. Just go back home and get some rest. I promise when you wake up, Kevin will be out of

danger." Tom wiped away her tears. She had been here a long time, and Tom was afraid she might get

exhausted.

"No. Tom, don't ask me to go home. I want to be with him." Leena shook her head, not wanting to leave

the man she loved. Even leaving him for a second, she felt that her heart was broken into tiny pieces.

"Don't do that. We don't need you sick too," Tom insisted. In Tom's opinion, Leena stressed herself out

too much. If she was ill right now, he might not have enough energy to take care of her. For some time

now, he had been treating his loved ones, which made him feel nervous and afraid.

"No, really. Go home. Sleep," Lee said. "I'll take care of him here," he continued. Lee had been here

the whole time. Everyone else who came to visit Kevin came and went, and only Lee and Leena kept

their vigil.

"I don't want to leave him. I want him to know that I have been with him the whole time. Then he'll have

to wake up," Leena said sadly. She was not as fragile as she looked, and had an inner fire that burned

brightly when it was needed.

"How about this? I've got a couch in my office. When Kevin wakes up, you can see him right away."

Tom could not persuade her, so he tried a different tactic.

"But..." Leena still hesitated.

"Okay, I'm going to say this plainly. Get some rest, or you can't see him." Tom threatened her in order to

force her to get some sleep.

"All right. Two-hour break. When Kevin wakes up, let me know right away." Leena saw that Tom was

angry, so she agreed to his proposal.

"OK. I'll let you know immediately when he opens his eyes," Tom assured her. She had to trust him.

There was no other choice.

Kevin was in good health, so even though he suffered a serious injury, he was soon transferred from

the intensive care unit to the general ward.

Leena was so tired that she slept for a long time. Her eyes closed at the moment when her head hit the

pillow. When she woke up, it had been six hours.

When Leena opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Patricia. Leena hadn't seen her in months.

Patricia was not a tomboy anymore. She was more of a woman now. "Patricia, why are you here?"

"Bad girl, I thought you really walked out on us." Patricia gave her a big hug. When Patricia learned that

Leena had returned, she rushed to the hospital. When she walked in, she found Leena sleeping, so

she did not disturb her. The racer just sat quietly, thinking a lot. That was when she started

remembering that Leena had done a lot for her, and she did nothing in return. She felt ashamed.

Maybe that was why Leena chose to bear this alone, rather than burden others. She suffered in silence

until she couldn't bear it and then chose to leave, but all she did made other people feel even more

painful.

"I'm sorry. I'm not leaving you. I'm back now, right?" Leena hugged her back. Although she didn't know

what time it was, she was sure that Tom had just let her sleep. So now she couldn't wait to find out

what happened to Kevin.

"What was going on in your head, anyway? If Kevin hadn't gotten hurt, would you have come back?"

Patricia asked sadly, sniffing.

"I don't know. What time is it?" Leena stood up and looked around.

"It's afternoon. Don't worry. Kevin was taken to the general ward about noon. Tom said that he was

stable, and he will be fine soon." Patricia knew what she was worried about, so she told her everything

she knew.

"Oh! No! I slept too long! Patricia, I'm sorry. I need to go see him now," Leena said apologetically. She NôvelDrama.Org © content.

knew that she should not ask that now. After all, they just reconnected. However, she did worry about

Kevin.

"OK. I'll go with you." Patricia fully understood her friend's mood. If she were Leena, she would do the

same.

The next time when they saw Kevin, a lot of the equipment had been removed from the room. He was

off life support, and the cadre professional doctors who had been with him left. The room was quiet

except for the machine that monitored his blood oxygen and his vitals, and Lee was alone with Kevin.

Seeing Leena and Patricia, Lee quickly stood up.

"Leena, sleep well?" Lee stayed up all last night. As a solider, he was used to going days and nights

without sleep during field exercises, so this was nothing for him. Meditation kept him sane and

energized.

"Yeah I did. How is he? Did he ever wake up?" Leena touched Kevin's cheek carefully, feeling he was

much thinner than before.

"No. Dr. Qin said there was no head trauma, so he should come around any time now." Lee asked a

few more questions because he was worried about Kevin.

"Good, good. You have the key to our house, right? Lee, go back to our place, take a shower, and get

some sleep. He needs someone to take care of him. We'll do it in shifts. We can't all be here at the

same time, or we'll all be screwed." After her nap, Leena was thinking much more clearly and she was

now able to organize things properly.
