It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1267

Belinda just smiled, not saying a word to Duke. It confused him. He had no idea what was up until he got dragged to the ICU. All of a sudden, he felt a bad feeling creep up on him. He looked at Kevin. Why was he here? Who was in the ICU? Why did Belinda get him to this place? Duke had an answer to all the questions in his head, but he refused to believe it.

"What the hell is going on? Why am I here?" Duke didn't want to assume the worst, but he had a terrible feeling. He lost his usual cool, afraid of hearing their reply. The panic in his heart rose.

Kevin and Belinda looked at each other. They wondered how to break the bad news to Duke without making him go crazy. Neither of them opened their mouths. They didn't know how to explain the situation.

"Duke? I thought you were still abroad? When did you come back?" Tom, who had just gotten out of the ICU, asked in surprise when he saw Duke. He had come out to tell Kevin that Leena was finally stable and not in dangerous condition.

"I am the one being kept in the dark! Why are you all here so early in the morning? Who's in there?" Duke looked from one person to another. His heart pounded faster in his chest as he got more and more anxious.

"Okay, let me explain the situation to you," Tom said, slightly furrowing his eyebrows. Fortunately, Leena was out of the dangerous condition now, so there was no need to hide this from her brother. To be honest, they couldn't hide something this big from Duke anyway, even if they wanted to. The real problem here was how to tell him.

Belinda and Kevin looked at him with grateful eyes as he said this. As Leena's doctor, Tom was the most appropriate person to explain Leena's condition to Duke.

"Then tell me! I'm still waiting!" Duke urged. He didn't understand what Tom was so hesitant about.

"Last night, Leena fell in the water. She inhaled too much of it. Plus, she had not fully recovered from her cold, so she nearly lost her life. But don't worry, all is well now. I just checked on her. She is out of the emergency situation. We can put her in a private ward now." Tom tried his best to be crystal clear, but he left out an important thing. He himself didn't know when Leena would wake up.

"What? How did Leena fall into the water? How did it even happen? Kevin, explain yourself!" Duke demanded angrily, suddenly grabbing Kevin by the collar. Leena was Kevin's wife but he didn't take good care of her. Instead, he let her fall into the water and endangered her life. He was not a capable husband! This was unforgivable!

"I am sorry!" Kevin's lips thinned into a grim line. He didn't want to explain himself, nor did he think he deserved to. What Duke was implying was right. He didn't protect Leena well enough. This was partly his fault.
