It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1280

Hospitals usually have a slightly spooky atmosphere when it gets dark. In an army uniform, Kevin stood against the cold wind on the balcony outside Leena's ward. The decision of the higher authorities had reached the military base in the daytime. Though Kevin was not downgraded, he was suspended. The massive brawl between the seniors and recruits had led to life-threatening conditions as well as damage to property. As their instructor, Kevin had to take the responsibility.

He took a drag on his cigarette, and exhaled the smoke. Smoke blurred his face. He hardly ever smoked, but he was very upset now and needed to smoke to vent his frustration and despair.

Leena suffered a black-out which so far had lasted for two days. For Kevin it seemed like two centuries. He was used to her being around, especially her smiling face. Now, it was just a quiet Leena that he was not accustomed to.

Heaving a long sigh of temporary relief, Kevin crushed out the cigarette and entered the ward. He adjusted the covers for her so that she wouldn't catch a cold, bent down and kissed her softly on her cheek. Then he walked to his briefcase, took out a pen and paper and sat beside the bed. After thinking for a little while, he began to write. The handwriting belonged to a man, vigorous and forceful.

Kevin was a handsome man. His face had well-defined angles — his forehead, cheeks and jawline. Though he looked a little fierce, it added to his temperament as a soldier with stoicism and fortitude.

Leena felt like she had an extremely long dream. When she opened her eyes, there was a moment of blinding pain after seeing the light, so she shut her eyes again until they eased in. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in bed and in a ward.

Leena looked away from the white ceiling and let her eyes fix on a man who buried himself in writing. At the sight of his figure, she couldn't help but curl her lips. She stared at him without breathing, as if time stopped. It was his soulful calls that had brought her out of her dream and away from the darkness.

Though she had been in confusion and even depression for a period of time, she pushed aside all obstacles and difficulties to remember whose voice it was. It was her beloved husband! How could she even forget?

"Kevin." Leena moved her lips to call him, but her voice was so hoarse and weak that it didn't sound like her at all.
