It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1422

"Obviously, you knew I would come. Let me guess. What Leena has been taking are not exactly health supplements. Am I right? They're not really tonics, right?" Kevin cautiously asked in a nervous voice. He wasn't sure whether he guessed it right. The uncertainty of it made him uneasy and anxious.

"No, you're wrong. She is indeed taking tonics. But if she doesn't want to tell you why, then I can't say anything else." Tom had promised Leena that he wouldn't take the liberty of telling Kevin the truth, and he would never go back on his word. As a doctor, he had sworn to protect the patient's privacy.

"Fine. But could you at least tell me whether it's life-threatening or not? I mean, what she's taking them for," Kevin asked with hopeless expectation. He wondered how serious it was before he figured out why she had to take tonics. As her husband, he felt that he had the right to know.

"Well, it's hard to say," was Tom's ambiguous answer. He understood how frustrating it must be for Kevin, but at this time, Leena was his patient and therefore he couldn't tell Kevin. He pondered that some women had died during childbirth, so one could say that it was life-threatening. That was why he couldn't give an absolute answer.

"What? Tell me. Is she going to die? You're a doctor, Tom. Can you save her?" Kevin rose from the couch but did not let go of it, trembling as he started to panic. He was mistaken about Tom, so he lost control of his emotions.

"As you can see, I'm doing everything I can to help nurse her to optimal health. So please calm down. You are scaring me right now." Tom patted his chest, as if he was really frightened.

"What disease is she suffering from? Why is it so serious that it'll endanger her life?" Kevin was too busy freaking out, ignoring what Tom was doing or saying. He was only concerned about his wife.

"What? I didn't say that it would take her life! Stop talking nonsense!" Tom rolled his eyes at Kevin. He thought Kevin, a major general, would be tougher than this, having gone through more challenging circumstances in the military. He might have even already stared down the barrel of a gun. But to his surprise, and a bit of amusement, Kevin was an emotional sack. He loved Leena too dearly that he couldn't remain calm.

"But... That was what you just said, right? Are you telling me that I misunderstood? Whew! Thank God!" Kevin let out a long sigh of relief. The more he loved Leena, the more he was afraid of losing her. He didn't want Leena to die. They were supposed to grow old together. This life without her would be terrible.

"I didn't say that. You just made a blind conjecture and may I say, a little bit of over-reaction. Well, would you like to have a drink?" Patricia's amnesia still puzzled Tom. He was at a complete loss as to what to do. It was a very tricky problem because Patricia remembered everyone and everything, except him. And he needed an outlet to release some stress from it.
