Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1564 Visiting The Army Base (Part One)

"Just tell me. Don't keep me guessing," Tom said, smiling. He shook his head helplessly at his little

sister, feeling amused. He was dressed in his all-white uniform, looking handsome and gentle as ever.

His smile was enticing, making everyone around him return it.

"Well..." Leena hesitated, "Kevin is going for a field training next month. I heard that this training is

especially hard. I'm not sure if he can handle it, considering he has just recovered from his injuries. I

am a little worried. I want to hear your thoughts about it." Leena gently bit down on her lower lip. Her

worried eyes were fixed on Tom. She wanted to know exactly what he thought about letting Kevin go

for the training. She didn't want Kevin to injure himself again. She was there for his professional advice.

"Since when have you started being so formal with me?" Tom sighed, "Ask him to come here for a

check-up. I will run some tests on him and see if he has recovered completely. But I don't think there

will be any issues. It has already been more than half a year since Kevin's accident. Considering his

current health condition, there shouldn't be any problems. I'm sure he can handle a little hard training.

But I'll run some tests anyway to make sure. Better safe than sorry." He smiled reassuringly.

"Okay, I will ask him to drop by whenever he is free. Kevin has been very busy lately. He hardly has

any time to eat and sleep. It would be hard for him to squeeze in some decent time for a check-up,"

Leena frowned.

"Let him come when he has some spare time. Just give me a call before he comes, okay?" he said, as

he glanced at Patricia's belly. He had been prepared to be a slave for her when he had come to know

that his woman was pregnant. But much to his surprise, this little woman didn't have any morning

sickness. Her conditions were normal to his relief. He was grateful for that because, in this way, he

didn't need to worry much about her while he was at work.

"Thank you, Tom. I am really sorry to bother you at work," Leena said, wrinkling her nose in a cute way.

"You are acting strange today, Leena. You have never been this polite to me," Tom joked and then

continued in a serious tone, "By the way, since you are here already, why don't I run some tests on

you?" This was not the first time Tom had brought up this subject. But every time, Leena found excuses

to refuse him. Tom could not force a check-up on her and didn't know what to do about her constant

rejection. If he didn't have an idea about her condition, he couldn't write a new prescription for her to

get better. So he really wanted to convince her to get a check-up done.

"Not right now, Tom. Maybe next time. I'll be free when Kevin goes for his training. I will drop by then for

the check up," she said. When she saw Tom frown at her, she added, "I promise to follow all your

instructions." She smiled, but her heart was bitter. Though she had already accepted that she might

never have a child of her own, she couldn't help but wish that that was not her fate. She was still trying

to remain hopeful, but the chances were very less. Tom saw through her and decided to let it slide. He

hated to see the sad smile on Leena's face.

He quickly changed the subject, "All right, deal! Now come on, it's time for lunch! My treat!" Tom said.

He took off his white coat and grabbed the car keys on the desk. When his eyes fell on Leena's messy

hair, he couldn't help but reach out to fix her hair for her. She was still his adorable little sister. His love

and care for her hadn't changed even though he got married and had his own little family now.

"Great! I am actually pretty hungry. Looks like it's my lucky day!" Leena said happily. She was glad that

she didn't have to eat lunch by herself today. She finally had her brother and her best friend to give her

company.

Tom laughed, seeing her enthusiasm and said, "You can eat anything you want. Patricia, are you with

us? You seem to have spaced out. Come on, let's go." He grabbed Patricia's hands, bringing her out of

her trance. He was surprised, because Patricia was never this quiet, especially when Leena was

around.

"Oh! Sorry, my mind was elsewhere," she said plainly. She felt a bit uneasy seeing Leena and her

husband's interaction. She knew that she was being irrational, because they were just like siblings and

she was sure about it. But if anyone who didn't know that they were sister and brother saw them

together, they would definitely take them for a couple. Patricia had to admit, she was a bit jealous.

"What were you thinking about? You seemed really focused on your thoughts," Leena teased her as

they walked down the hospital corridor together. But Patricia was going through some complicated

emotions regarding the relationship between Leena and Tom. She knew that they cared deeply for

each other and that mutual feeling was completely platonic, but she still couldn't shake off her doubts.

What if there was a glimmer of a chance that they might be holding some subtle feelings for each

other? Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I'm afraid that you will both laugh at me if I tell you." Tom gently held her hand as they walked and the

small gesture warmed her heart.

"Why is that? Patricia, were you thinking about some other handsome guy?" Leena teased her again,

winking at Patricia with a meaningful smile. Leena knew that Patricia had always been fond of pretty

boys. But she was just pulling her leg. Leena knew how much Patricia loved Tom. But she was very

curious as to what she was thinking about, especially after Patricia had said that they might laugh at

her.
