It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1484

Leena glanced at her watch. It was time for her to take her medicine. Although she had left Kevin, she still insisted on taking the medicine to treat her body. She was unintentionally making an effort, like she was still harboring some hope in her heart. The medicine was bitter, and more disgusting, than the last one she took. Yet she controlled her urge to vomit, and forced herself to take it all in.

Paris was a city she couldn't be more familiar with. Choosing to hide here didn't make her feel lonely. In fact, it helped as she had several things to keep her mind busy. And being busy kept her from becoming lazy. The only inconvenience was that she had to be under a disguise at all times to avoid being recognized. Aware of the likelihood that her family and friends hired some private detectives, she had to be very careful to avoid exposing herself. Although Edward's father sent some people to protect her, it couldn't hurt to take extra precaution.

Looking at the thick, black concoction, Leena bit her lower lip in deep thought. Finally, she mustered all the courage she had and drained all of it in a single gulp. The bitterness lingered in her tongue, just like the bitterness she had in her heart. It seemed like the taste wouldn't come off her tongue.

Kevin's stomach dropped all of a sudden, as if he felt Leena's experience and it made him worry. It had already been a month. He had assumed that Leena wouldn't be able to handle the pain of being apart from him. But no. After waiting for her to come back this whole time, nothing changed. He seemed to have gravely overestimated his importance in her heart for she was still nowhere to be found.

He tore up the divorce settlement in anger. The letter she left for him was stored in the locker of his desk. It recorded both her love and cruelty towards him. Every time he missed her, he would take it out and read it again. He would stare at it longingly, as if he could see her writing the letter.

"Major General Gu," greeted Mrs. Xu. "Where is Leena? She hasn't visited here for a long time." Kevin was at the dormitory building, and Mrs. Xu happened to see him. His house was haunted by Leena's presence, and everywhere he looked, he was reminded of her. Needing a place to free his mind, he decided that the dormitory was the best place to go.

"Oh!" exclaimed Kevin, "She went abroad, and she'll be staying there for a while. I'll tell her about this and maybe she can visit as soon as she's back." With a polite but forced smile, he didn't know what else to say. Truthfully, he didn't know how long she was staying there too.

"Oh, I see, I see. It's all right! I haven't seen her in a while. We all just miss her." Mrs. Xu admired Leena; she was kind, and never forgot to send them some presents. Besides that, she was beautiful and didn't have a hard time getting along with them. Everyone somehow ended up liking her even when she didn't try.

"Okay, I'll tell her all about it." They missed her, but nowhere near as much as he missed her. He yearned for her so much that he could barely breathe sometimes. But if the day came when she decided to return, he still wanted to be there for her. He had to suppress the pain and keep living like nothing happened.

He walked upstairs. When he found that someone was standing by the doorway of his room, he frowned. As soon as he recognized the person, he turned and made his way towards the stairs again. Kevin knew that Leena wouldn't like it if he stayed anywhere near that woman.
