It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1573

Tom opened his mouth to try and console her but eventually decided against it. There was a clear wedge between them. No matter how hard they tried now, they couldn't just go back to the way they used to be around each other.

After a long while, the nurse finally came in with the results. She put them on the desk in front of Tom.

Before picking up the documents, Tom gulped and cast a glance in Leena's direction. He found that she was shaking, her face as pale as death itself.

"Would you like a glass of water first?" As Tom spoke, he poured out a glass of warm water for her. Hesitantly, he put his hands on her shoulders to comfort her. Slowly, he went behind his desk and picked up the report.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. His gaze turned to Leena in disbelief, who was still avoiding looking at him. Tom bubbled with excitement. He was eager to share the great news with her but stood stock still. He feared that the nurse had brought him the wrong documents, so he double checked the patient's name on it.

"Leena, have you been feeling different lately?" Tom asked. He was too afraid to speak out the truth. He felt like he was in a dream and could be roused to the bitter reality any moment.

"Feeling different? How?" Leena shot him a questioning look. She didn't understand what Tom was trying to imply. Why would she feel any different?

"Have you felt uncomfortable recently?" Tom continued as he perused the results in his hands. Finally, he heaved a long sigh of relief once he reached the end of the report.

"No. But I wake up late in the mornings. Maybe I don't sleep so well these days." Leena gave Tom an embarrassed smile. She really missed Kevin. Sometimes, it was hard to fall asleep at night without him.

"Come over here," Tom ordered her quickly.

"What? Why?" Leena walked up to him in confusion.

"I just want to hug you." Before she could say anything, Tom pulled her into his arms and rested his head on her shoulder tenderly.

"Tom, is this because the results are so bad that you just want to comfort me?" Leena asked. Her heart felt like it was shattering. She had prepared herself for the worst this morning, but if Tom actually said the result out loud, she might not be able to accept her bad luck.

"No, you silly girl! Congratulations!" Ever since Tom came to know that Leena was infertile, he hadn't laughed in such a carefree manner. Now, he felt buoyant and happy. Today's results were a miracle. He couldn't help but thank God in his heart.

"Congratulations? What do you mean?" Leena broke herself free from Tom's arms and stared at him blankly, wondering why he was smiling so widely.

"You're going to be a mom! Aren't you thrilled?" Tom declared in excitement. The results indicated that Leena had been pregnant for about a month now. It was astonishing.

"Haha! Tom, you wretch! Are you messing around with me?" Leena furrowed her brows. She couldn't believe what Tom was claiming. She couldn't be so lucky. How could her dream come true so soon?

"What? You don't believe me? I didn't trust it either when I first saw the report. So I double checked the results. You are indeed pregnant!" Tom handed the documents to Leena, grinning widely.

"Tom, you don't have to make this up to console me. I'm not sad, really." Leena's eyes reddened. She just couldn't believe her ears. This was unreal.

"I can understand why you don't believe it. But miracles do happen, right? Leena, just look at the results with your own eyes. You'll believe me then." Tom could understand what she was going through. She had been looking forward to having a baby for so long. Now that the day was here, she was hard-pressed to believe that she could be so lucky.
