It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1538

"What did she mean?" Rain asked, looking at everyone with confused eyes. He didn't understand what the nurse meant. The situation was tense and worrisome, and Rain was no longer his usual carefree self.

"Why are you asking me? How would I know?" Edward rolled his eyes at him in annoyance. If he had any idea what was happening right now, he would not be so anxious. Rain's question only made him feel more stressed.

"Everyone, calm down, okay? Everything will be all right." Shannon was naturally more mature than all of them because she was older. Though she was worried sick about her son, she had to be strong for all of them. She needed them to calm down. That was why she said these words to comfort them. But who was she kidding? Saying those words, she was also in fact trying to comfort herself.

"Will it, Mom? Is he really going to be okay?" Leena asked in a shaky voice. She could not even breathe right now. Her heart was beating so fast in her chest that she could hear the blood pulsing in her head. She didn't know how to feel except that she was feeling numb. To say that she was worried sick about Kevin and Tom was an understatement, especially when she didn't know what was going on.

"Yeah, of course, it will. I guess Tom is just a bit exhausted. You know, the surgery has been going on for hours now." Duke answered, then dropped a gentle kiss on her forehead. He knew clearly what Leena needed the most right now. All she needed was reassurance, and he was more than willing to give his little sister that. He knew that he should be strong for her during this extremely hard time.

Just then, the same nurse who had just left hurriedly came back. They all knew that this could be an emergency, so none of them stopped her this time.

Leena couldn't tell what she was feeling right now. Her head was in a mess. Her thoughts kept alternating between Kevin and Tom. They were both equally important to her. She couldn't even imagine her life without Kevin. She deeply regretted ever leaving without telling anyone. What if Kevin died before he got to see her again? What if she never had the chance to talk to him ever again? She didn't know what to think anymore.

The silence was deafening. Nobody talked, because nobody knew what to say at that moment. They all had nothing but tired looks on their faces, and each person had different thoughts in his or her mind. Nobody dared to think about the worst case that could happen. All they could do right now was to wait.

Their hopes got up again when they heard the door to the operation room swing open. Everyone turned to look with intensely hopeful eyes. This time, Tom walked out. They all held their breath, waiting for him to open his mouth and say something.

"I am sorry!" Tom, seeing all eyes on him, suddenly felt a bit self-conscious. That was why the first thing he did was to apologize for making them wait this long. But it came off differently, how he said it, thus they misunderstood him. Everyone gasped in disbelief and said at the same time, "That's... that's all?"

"What do you mean, you're sorry?"

"Leena, are you okay? Do you know that you fainted? How are you feeling now?" Tom asked while checking her vitals. He knew that Leena was probably so anxious to know about how Kevin was doing that she fainted, but he just had to make sure. He didn't want anything to happen to his precious little sister.

"Tom, is... is Kevin..." Leena bursted into tears before she could even finish her words. She didn't want to think of the worst, but she just couldn't get her mind off the possibility that she would never see Kevin again.

"Don't worry! The operation was very successful. I just had to make sure everything was perfectly okay, considering that he is a soldier. I had to make sure that he would still have an agile body and that he could still function the same way as before. That's why it took me so long to finish the operation." This was definitely the most tiring operation that Tom had ever performed. He was being extremely careful because he knew how important Kevin was to Leena. That was why he fainted the moment he got out of the operation room earlier. He was just too tired, and he could finally relax his strained nerves.

"Really? You are not lying to me? Oh my God, thank you so much Tom! Thank you! When can I see him then?" Leena hugged Tom as her face broke into a huge smile though there were still tears on her big beautiful eyes. She knew that Kevin wouldn't have the heart to leave her. He loved her too much to do such a cruel thing to her.

"Tomorrow morning is the earliest time you can see him. He has to be in ICU under close observation for now. All we can do is hope for the best that no complications arise during this time." Tom pinched the place between his eyebrows, feeling tired as hell. This operation had taken him almost 24 hours to finish. Fortunately, the result and outlook were positive. He successfully saved Kevin's life and his efforts had not gone to waste at all. He was happy that Kevin was okay for now. He knew Leena would be devastated if anything bad happened to the man who completed her life.
