It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1064

"It's late, Leena. What's going on?" Shannon opened the door and was surprised to see Leena standing outside.

"Sorry to interrupt you, Mom. Kevin is having a severe fever. I don't know where the medical kit is." Leena finished her words hastily with her hands rubbing anxiously.

"What? He got a fever? You can go and take care of him. I'll ask your Dad to call the doctor from the army. We'll be there soon." For a while it seemed like being anxious was communicable and Shannon caught it too. She already said it earlier! Her son might be strong but it wasn't a guarantee that his body could take a long run under that freezing rain. It was Nathan who didn't listen to her and now Kevin was sick!

"Yes! I see. Then I'm going back now." Her mother-in-law's words rendered Leena a little relief. It was nice to know that she wasn't alone as she faced the ordeal.

"Go! Don't worry. The doctor is not far away from here. He'll be here soon," Shannon comforted her and just as she said, the doctor did come shortly after. Leena was a bit surprised to see the doctor arrive in such a short time. It was indeed true that every man in the army was quick to respond.

"How's he doing? Is he alright, Dr. Pei?" Shannon asked anxiously after the doctor finished checking on Kevin.

"Don't worry! Major General is not that bad. He just caught a cold. I'll have him on an intravenous drip and get him some pills. He should be fine with these." Dr. Pei was not a young man but it was evident that he talked to Shannon in a respectful tone. She was his superior's wife after all.

"Tsk! Such a weakling. It's just some rain. How did he catch a cold?" Nathan could not help murmuring despite the relief that flooded him. He was deeply worried too upon knowing that his son was sick.

"Okay! So it is you who have a strong body. Why don't you go out and run in the rain, Nathan?" It was Shannon's angry voice that replied to the man. She was even staring at him defiantly. Dr. Pei was still there, thus, it was not appropriate for her to complain against Nathan. Nonetheless, she couldn't stop herself. She had warned that Kevin did not need to be punished to run in the rain but her husband just put a deaf ear to her suggestion. He had insisted on saying that Kevin should be a tough soldier and should keep his words. It was all thanks to him that her son was sick.

"Don't make a fuss. It's just a fever, nothing serious. He'll be fine as soon as he takes the pills. He is just pretending to be seriously ill as if something terrible is happening to him," Nathan rebuked Shannon as she nagged. It was just rain. Why so serious? It was just common for him to be under the rain when he was younger. He was not as weak as Kevin and never had he caught a cold. What happened now just meant that Kevin needed to be trained more. It was his lack of training that caused him to be that sick.
