It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1539

"Damn you Tom! Thank God Kevin is okay! Why did you say sorry to us the second you got out? You scared the shit out of all of us!" If Tom hadn't fainted just now, Rain would have surely knocked Tom out himself. His mis-worded and untimely apology made everyone's hearts jump out of their mouths. For a second there they all thought that Kevin had died on the operating table. Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding.

"Ummn, well... I thought you were worried about me? That's why I apologized for making you wait so long. Wait a minute, so none of you were worried about me at all?" Tom was a bit confused. After a long and tiring operation, his mind was a bit slow. Who told them the operation was not successful? Why would they think that?

"Why would we be worried about you? You were not the one whose life hung on the balance. You are totally fine! We are worried sick about Kevin! 'I am sorry' are the words a doctor tells a family when he couldn't do anything to save the patient's life. So when you said those words, you gave us all a heart attack, thinking that we lost Kevin!" Edward couldn't help but shout at Tom. Though he was grateful that Tom was again the life-saver, he indeed gave them all a scare. Whether he did that on purpose as a practical joke or not, he should never do that again, especially to other families in the future.

"All right, all right. You really know how to make me feel special," Tom said sarcastically while moving to sit on the closest chair. He was too exhausted right now to move. The operation was hard, and it tired the crap out of him. He felt that he could sleep for days. All he wanted right now was a clean and warm bed to rest. He couldn't even raise a finger now.

"Well, Thank you! Thank you very much, Doctor Qin! You are literally a life-saver!" Shannon said to Tom in a sincere tone. She was extremely grateful that this talented doctor had saved her son's life. She couldn't be more grateful. For a second there, just like Leena, she had thought that she had lost her beloved son. Fortunately, the outcome was good. Now she could finally let her mind rest and heave a sigh of relief.

"You are welcome, ma'am. It's my sworn oath to do my best to save people. Kevin will be sent to the ICU soon. They're just finishing up the dressing of the wound, among other things. Well, right now I need to grab a shower. So if you all would excuse me." Though it was still winter and the weather was cold, Tom was all sweaty after performing the lengthy surgery. He needed to take a shower to freshen himself up and relax his rigid muscles. Then, he would have a nice long nap.

"Of course. Go ahead. You absolutely deserve it." Shannon was also tired herself, but she was still poised and elegant as ever. All throughout the whole ordeal, she remained calm, even though deep inside she had a storm of uncertainties about whether her son would survive.
