It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1415

"Is it really just for improving your health?" Kevin asked disbelievingly. He dubiously gave the medicine back to Leena, still considering whether he should trust her or not. In the past she had always been afraid of taking Chinese medicine, and this change concerned him. How come she was willing to take it now? Kevin remembered that Tom had once told him how Leena disliked taking bitter Chinese medicine so much, that she would run away from it. So, it was just odd that she was now taking it in secret.

"Of course, what else do you think it is for? I have nothing to hide from you." She laughed, trying not to sound nervous. "Now, you should go wash up. Dinner will be ready soon." She changed the topic. As a matter of fact, the medicine was indeed a kind of tonic, therefore Leena's words were somewhat true. What she didn't tell Kevin though, was the medicine's intended use and desired result.

"I'll fix the dinner," Kevin offered, "go, take your medicine first," Kevin said, removing his coat. Tossing the garment over the back of a dining-room chair, he returned to the kitchen, rolling up his sleeves.

"I can cook after taking the medicine. You really should take a break," Leena quickly said. She knew how tired he could be from his work, so she hadn't the heart to let him cook.

"Don't worry. I'm not very tired today, it was quiet at work, and I didn't have much to do." Kevin said cheerfully, and bowed to kiss Leena gently on the forehead. He then started cooking, beaming with satisfaction.

Seeing Kevin working happily in the kitchen, Leena no longer insisted on fulfilling her womanly tasks. Watching his broad back, Leena felt a gush of happiness sweep through her. He was such a thoughtful husband, and cared so much about her. She sincerely believed that she might be the happiest woman in the world. Most women would feel the same way if they were Leena. After all, who didn't want to be loved and adored?

After gazing affectionately at Kevin for a while, Leena sighed wistfully and turned to drink the medicine. Like always, it tasted terrible. So, when the liquid went down her throat, she couldn't help but gag, her face turning pale.

"Are you okay, babe?" Kevin asked, concerned by the sound. He set the spatula down at once, and came to Leena's side, his face showing his concern.

"I'm fine. I just don't like the taste. I will get over it soon - " However, before she could finish, she choked again. Kevin was startled and concerned about her illness, but she had gotten used to it; the nausea and daily sickness, which the medicine brought had become an old friend to her. Kevin, on the other hand, witnessed her suffering for the first time. He hastened to fetch her a cup of warm water.

"Have some water, Nana." He insisted. Kevin passed her the water, gently stroking her back. He had long known that she didn't like the taste of the Chinese medicine, but he never expected it to cause her this much discomfort. His worry was understandable.

Leena took the cup and sipped slowly. Although the bitter taste lingered in the mouth, it wasn't strong enough now to make her feel nauseous.

"Are you feeling better now?" Kevin asked softly, his tone full of concern.
