It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1537

"I need to go back, Adonis. I want to see him right now. I can't just pretend that I don't care about him." Leena grabbed Adonis' clothes in terror. She loved him, and she decided to not run away from the reality. She had to go back to him right away. He was in critical condition, and she must be by his side at a time like this.

"Understood. We'll head back." Adonis was single, and had never been in love. But he could tell that Leena loved her husband to death and wanted to get back to him.

The red letters, 'In Operation', flashed brightly even after ten hours. Kevin's surgery was taking longer than expected. But no one left the hospital. They patiently waited for his news outside the operating room.

By the time Leena showed up in the hospital, the operation had been going on for eighteen hours. When they saw Leena's staggering figure, they held their breaths and widened their eyes. They couldn't believe that she was here.

"Duke, where's Kevin? How is he?" Leena stumbled towards Duke. But she was in no mood for a meet and greet.

"So now you are worried about him?" Duke taunted. On the inside, he was happy to see his little sister, but it vexed him that she had left them for a man. Even though this wasn't the time or place to show his anger, he still couldn't control his emotions.

"Sorry Duke, I..." Leena bit her lower lip, not knowing how to explain. She was still worried about Kevin.

"If it weren't for Kevin's accident right now, you wouldn't have ever bothered meeting us, would you?" Edward asked in a cold voice. They used to dote on her, but she had left them without saying a word, which broke their hearts.

"I'm so sorry..." Instead of answering Edward's question, she apologized to him. She had foreseen their reactions on her way to the hospital. She could do nothing but take the blame silently.

"Leena, you're finally back," Shannon said and held Leena in her arms. She heaved a long sigh of relief and hoped that Kevin would wake up to see his wife.

"Mom, it was all my fault. I shouldn't have left," Leena said, tears streaming down her cheeks as she hugged Shannon back tightly.

"It's okay. Now that you're back, Kevin would be thrilled and he'll wake up soon." Shannon stroked Leena's back. She had come to S City as soon as she had heard the news of Kevin's accident. Kevin's father had something urgent to do in the army, so he couldn't come along with Shannon.

"Leena, Major General Gu has been waiting for you all this time," Lee said, happy to see Leena. Although Kevin was still in the operating room, Lee believed that he was a tough man and would survive this ordeal.

"Lee, what happened to Kevin? Why was he injured?" Leena felt guilty because she felt that what had happened was somehow her fault.

"Major General Gu rushed in to rescue an elderly from the debris regardless of his own safety, and the aftershocks struck sooner than we estimated," Lee explained, sniffling a tear. How he wished he could have been the one who had gone in to save the person.

"What about the other soldiers? Were they injured?" Leena asked as she knew what Kevin cared about the most.

"We're all safe. Only Major General Gu was hurt." Lee cast a glance at the door of the operating room. He never knew that an operation could last so many hours.

"Don't worry. He'll be okay," said Leena. She didn't know whether she was trying to comfort him or herself.

The man she wanted to see the most was in the operating room, and they were separated by the thick doors. Her heart was gripped by the red light that was shining above the door. She felt suffocated by it.

"Have some water. You need to calm down," Duke said, handing Leena a bottle of water. Despite his anger, Duke still cared about her.

"Duke, thank you," Leena said, moved by his gesture. She hadn't expected that her brother would wait here for such a long time. After all, Duke had always disliked Kevin.
