."I was small-minded. Sorry that I misunderstood you." Leena felt embarrassed. She just reiterated that she didn't want Kevin to make apologies. However, she kept making apologies herself instead.
"Never mind. You cared about me too much, so you were jealous," Kevin comforted Leena with a gentle smile. They would love each other more after this.
Misunderstandings were inevitable in life. As long as we were willing to spend some time explaining or listening, we wouldn't get hurt.
As soon as Leena got home, Shannon gave her a big hug. She was still worried about Leena last night and wondered when she would wake up. To her surprise, Leena had come home safe and sound.
"Thank goodness! You're back at last!" Shannon's voice was filled with emotion. She stared at Leena up and down with tears in her eyes. Originally, she wanted to cook something for Leena and bring it to hospital, but Kevin told her not to anymore, because they would be back soon. What a pleasant surprise!
"Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you." Leena didn't expect that her mother-in-law would come to see her from the capital city. She was moved when Kevin told her about it. Now, she was even more excited and grateful to see Shannon.
"Silly girl, don't make a big deal out of it. I'm no stranger! Go wash your hands so we can eat. I made congee with pork bones for you. You can't eat greasy food for now but I'll cook whatever you like after you fully recover," Shannon said as she patted Leena on the back.
"Okay. Thank you, Mom," Leena answered in a soft voice. She looked around and found that the house remained the same and was as spotless as before.
"Welcome home, Leena," Claire said excitedly. She seemed to have completely changed after the accident.
"Thank you, Claire." Leena gave her a big hug. After Leena was snatched back from the jaws of death, she became more kind-hearted. She didn't even want to get back at Louisa at all.
Meanwhile in the hospital, Tom encountered Patricia again. He thought that whatever happened was predestined, and it was useless to think of running away.
"Mr. Qin, where on earth have you transferred Leena? I went to her ward just now, but I didn't see her." Patricia gave the esteemed doctor a challenging look. If she didn't ask the nurse, she wouldn't know that Tom was in charge of this hospital.
"Miss Bai, don't you know that you must be gentle and humble when you ask for help?" Tom's reply was full of annoyance. Patricia's nonsense yesterday galled him and he still hadn't recovered from it.
"Sorry. The word 'gentle' is not in my dictionary. Don't expect me to be gentle," Patricia answered back as she looked around the dean's office. It was just larger than the general doctor's office. There was nothing special about it. However, every inch of shelf space was crammed with books. She could tell that Tom was very fond of reading.
"Watch your mouth. You're being impolite." Tom glared at Patricia. She was young but rude.
"Humph. What a pedant. Cut the crap. Just tell me where Leena is," sneered Patricia, curling her lip.
"You're friends, right? Why don't you call her? If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're taking this opportunity to approach me." A contemptuous smile crossed Tom's face. He hated such women the most. He didn't expect Patricia to be like that.
