It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1540

"I can do that, but are you going to be okay here on your own?" Duke asked, a bit hesitantly. Leena was right. They should drive Shannon home first. Now that Kevin would not be able to look after his mother, they should at least do it for him.

"You know what guys? I will also stay here with Leena. Somebody needs to look after her. We'll see you all tomorrow. Hopefully there will be more good news then," Rain cut in. Now that they all knew that Kevin would be okay, he was back to his carefree self. He could surely stay here with Leena and keep her company. He didn't have anything else to do anyway. Besides, even though Leena said that she wasn't tired, Rain was sure that she'd pass out from the fatigue sooner or later.

"That's cool. Okay fine, we are going then. Mrs. Gu, come with us please. You can stay at our house tonight. Kevin will be okay under Tom's supervision," Duke turned to Shannon and said to her with a smile. He had to admit that he wasn't fond of Kevin at first, but he didn't have anything against his mother. She was a polite and elegant woman, and Duke had a good impression of her.

"Okay, thank you so much. Leena, my child, I am going with Duke now. Take care of yourself, okay? I will be back here later." Shannon reached out her hand to fix Leena's messy hair for her. She felt that Leena had matured a lot while she was away. They hadn't seen each other for months and to be honest, Shannon missed her daughter-in-law a lot.

"Of course, Mom. Duke, take good care of her for me, okay?" Leena smiled sheepishly because of Shannon's affectionate gesture. She didn't expect that her mother-in-law would still be this understanding and kind towards her, after what she had put them through during the past few months. It had been hell for both her and the ones who loved her. In retrospect, she deeply regretted ever leaving, considering that her issue could have been easily sorted out had she expressed herself more openly. She felt so guilty right now.

After exchanging good-byes and hugs, they all left the hospital except for Rain and Leena. Then suddenly, it became a lot quieter.

"Hey Leena, aren't you hungry? I can go get you something to eat. I think I passed by a cafeteria earlier," Rain suggested to Leena, sitting beside her. It was already early morning. And none of them had anything to eat because of how preoccupied they were.

"Thank you, Rain, but I am not hungry at all. But by all means, you can go eat if you want. You, yourself must be starving. I will just be here. I'm not going anywhere." Leena knew that she did not have to stay around. She was not a doctor after all and there wasn't much she could do if any complication arose. But she still didn't want to leave. She felt closer to Kevin by staying here waiting for him. She wanted so badly for him to know that she was back, that she was just nearby in the other room, and that she would never leave him ever again. She had realized how wrong she was, and she would never make the same mistake. No matter what they might confront from now on, they would face it together, and she would not give up so easily like she did before. She had realized that leaving wouldn't solve the problem. Instead, it would only make it worse.
