It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1578

Rain looked pale as a ghost. He was still frozen by the old man's words and sorrow hung heavily in his heart. He couldn't move from his place even after the old man had left his side.

"Rain, are you all right?" Leena reached out and gently touched his arm. There was concern in her beautiful eyes and she held his arm to comfort him. Rain seemed to have much lingering in his mind. He looked so gloomy and shocked that she was really worried about his well-being.

Rain quickly forced a smile and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine." He realized that his reaction to the news had caused concerns. He felt embarrassed and tried to change the subject. "How's your hand? Let me take a look," he said and took her hand. In his trance, he had grabbed her hand quite forcefully.

Leena flinched and said, "Hey, don't worry about me." She pulled her hand away gently. The last thing she wanted was for him to worry about her bruised hand right now. "Trust me, it doesn't matter," she said with a small smile.

"Shit! It's bruised. I am so sorry, Leena. I didn't mean to hurt you. I had no control over myself," Rain said, when he saw her bruised hand. He rubbed his forehead in distress. He wasn't himself at the time. He was in a state of shock and had no idea what he was doing. He had squeezed her hand to control his anger and grief, but her delicate hand was bruised because of his irrational behavior.

"Rain, there's nothing to apologize for. I can't even fathom what you are going through right now and I want you to know that we are here for you. Always." Leena leaned in closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck in a heartwarming hug. She had been sitting by his side and listening to every word that the old man had said. The truth had shaken her, but she made peace with it. She had known that Rain's true family was somewhere in the world. However, it never occurred to her that the truth would be this painful. The old man's words made her question the meaning of family bond. After hearing the whole story, she thought that Rain was better off without his so-called family. She, along with his other friends, would be his real family; their relationship with Rain was stronger than the superficial blood-bonds.

Sanford's sudden appearance, along with his unpleasant truth, made the meal tasteless. The ambience at the table turned sour and the food remained untouched in their plates.

When they returned to FX International Group, Rain simply bid them goodnight and left immediately. His eyes were empty and lonely as he pulled out of the driveway and sped down the road, as if he was trying to leave all the sadness behind him. As she stared sadly at his disappearing car, Leena thought to herself, 'Rain, I hope you can get over this mess soon.'

As his blue sports car disappeared around the corner of the street, Leena turned around and fixed her big eyes on Edward's handsome face. She said, "Edward, I am worried. Is he gonna be all right?" Leena's fear was clearly visible on her face.

"The truth might be painful to digest. But don't worry about him. Give him some space. He'll know what to do." Edward reached out his hand and carefully tucked her hair behind her ear. She was so worried about Rain that tiny sweat beads had formed on her forehead, making her hair look messy. Leena smiled bitterly at Edward. They all knew that Rain was definitely facing a hard time right now. As his friends, they wanted to be there by his side, but there was so little that they could do to help him. Rain had to overcome this pain and come out of it himself. He had to accept the truth and move on. Edward frowned and thought, 'The old man came out of nowhere, dared to abruptly step into Rain's life and dramatically turned his life upside down in one evening, ' he sighed, 'If I were in his shoes, I would be crushed for sure.'
