It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1349

"Yeah, of course she deserves it." Tom smiled. But suddenly, his smile turned to a frown, remembering that Leena would have a lot of difficulty getting pregnant. He glanced at Kevin with worried eyes. Till now, Kevin had no idea about it. But what would he think once he knew? Would he still be this good to Leena? Would he treat Leena the same way he was doing now or would he change his mind? Tom knew that it was impossible for a man to completely ignore it. Maybe Kevin wouldn't mind it for now. But what if, in the future he wanted a child and Leena couldn't get pregnant? Who could guarantee that his feelings for Leena wouldn't change?

"How is Patricia doing right now?" Kevin asked Tom in a more serious tone. Since his wife had spent the whole night worrying about Patricia, he couldn't help but get anxious as well.

"If I tell you that her condition is not promising, what would you think?" Tom felt helpless. Yes, he was a damn good doctor, if he said so himself. But he also just was human and sometimes, things were just out of his control. It was not up to him which patient got to live and which patient would die.

"It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is what you are going to do about it." Kevin's heart dropped. If Tom, a great doctor, said that Patricia's condition was not promising, then it was surely not promising at all. Did this mean that Patricia would not survive this ordeal?

"I am a doctor. I am not God." Tom rolled his eyes at Kevin. He felt pressured. No matter how good he was in his field, if it was someone's time to go, it was time to go. He really wanted Patricia to get better. But it was not up to him.

"So there is nothing you can do? Really?" Though Patricia was not family, Kevin still cared about her as a friend. Besides, he did not know how he was going to tell his wife.

"At least not for now. Do you think that I would still be here if I already figured out how to save her?" Even if Patricia wasn't Leena's best friend, he would still do everything he could so that she would live.

"So, all we can do for now is wait for her to wake up on her own?" Kevin didn't hide his uneasiness. He remembered feeling helpless when his own wife had fallen into coma, not knowing when she would wake up.

"Yes, that's all we can do for now." Tom had seen many people succumb to death right in front of him. It was a given circumstance in his chosen profession. But his heart throbbed badly when he thought of someone who was once a lively and tough girl, slipping away, never to return. He badly wanted to save her, he really did. Now, he hated the feeling that he couldn't do anything about it.

Kevin's heart still felt heavy when he walked out of the hospital. His mind kept coming back to Tom's words, and he couldn't help but worry about Leena's reaction when he broke the news to her. He didn't get to see Patricia today because she was in a critical state and was still under close observation. They couldn't risk her being infected.

Meantime back at the apartment, Leena woke up without Kevin by her side. But she didn't think much of it. She just thought that he had gone to the army base as usual. After all, things always came up at the army base that needed Kevin's attention and she had already gotten used to it. Maybe it was an emergency so Kevin didn't wake her up.
