Leena had been smiling mildly since they left Tom's office. It was refreshing that Claire didn't refuse her friendly approach as before. She let Leena hold her arm without any objection. It might not be a huge change, but it was definitely a good start for their budding relationship.
"Leena, how come your friends are all so excellent?" blurted Claire all of the sudden. She just couldn't hold back the curiosity anymore. Goodness! Why were Leena's friends all elites? First, there were Edward and Rain who were both from FX International and then now, here was Tom, a freaking eligible who owned a hospital!
"Haha! Trust me, you will not find them as perfect as you think once you get to know them." Leena chuckled in delight. She grew up with these outstanding men and she sure knew all of them like the back of her hand. They might appear to be the coolest and most domineering people ever, but they were all like kind big brothers to her. She couldn't even see nor feel their differences compared to other men.
"Really? Are you kidding me?" Claire furrowed her eyebrows as she shot Leena a doubtful glare. Uncontented, she even looked straight at Leena's eyes in hope of finding the truth.
"Yes, of course, it is the truth. Why should I lie to you?" A sincere smile cracked Leena's lips and Claire ended up cutely squinting her eyes to examine her sister-in-law. 'Okay, that smile looks genuine. She couldn't be lying. Oh, her smile is almost dazzling me.' she thought.
Meanwhile, Kevin wasn't even talking as he just stayed quietly, listening to the two. Seeing that his wife and sister getting along well made him feel much more comfortable than ever.
He was in his best mood as he quickly drove his car back to the Grand Apartment. The gentle breeze was blowing outside, and it was adding a bit of chill to the winter night. However, Kevin couldn't care less about it as he stood inside that cozy and warm room. There was a tempting body that was lying face-down on the bed. Her pajama-top was pulled up to the nape of her neck, displaying both her naked back and luscious curves. It was Leena. She just had a sponge bath and was now waiting for Kevin to apply medicines on her wound.
"Nana, it might hurt a little, okay? Try to bear it. Scream out if it really hurts. You will feel better after doing it." Kevin's voice trembled a bit as he spoke. He didn't get the chance to see how bad Leena's wound was earlier. Thus, he got a bit shocked once he saw it for the first time. It was terrible! The bruise was so ugly against her smooth and alabaster skin, hence the sudden sorrow and regret flooded him. What he did to the person who injured Leena was not enough! He should have torn him into pieces!
"Ummm, I know," responded Leena in a tiny voice. It was her obedience and sensibility that kept her calm during the incident earlier. She never wanted to make Kevin worry. However, she wasn't able to stop herself from shrinking back and wincing as soon as Kevin's hands started rubbing the medicine to her back and forth.
