It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1602

"Oh, He said that he would come back soon and he asked me to take care of you for the moment. Don't worry. He would be here soon." Leena sat beside her and beamed, delight written across her face.

"Where is the baby?" Patricia still couldn't move because she had undergone the C-section. Unlike other moms who went through natural labor, she couldn't hold her baby freely and kiss him all over or even feed him immediately after her baby was born.

"Tom said the baby is now receiving the blue light treatment. He would be sent back to you 24 hours later. Don't worry," Leena explained in a gentle voice and tried to reassure her that everything was fine.

"Blue light? What's that?" Since her husband Tom was a doctor, she cared little about medical things because even if the sky fell, Tom was there to solve everything for her.

"It is said that blue light is a kind of therapy to cure Neonatal Jaundice. But I don't know much about it." Leena only heard the doctor mention this kind of condition when she went to do the prenatal check before. Although Tom also mentioned it just a while ago, he didn't really explain what it was. It was beyond Leena's knowledge to explain such medical terms to Patricia.

"Okay. As long as Tom didn't say anything bad, then the baby is okay. Leena, thank you!" Patricia said in a faint voice. Leena was dumbfounded to hear her friend suddenly say thanks to her.

"Patricia, why did you say thanks to me? We are friends!" She said a little anxiously. She was a little disappointed to see Patricia be so polite to her.

"I just want to apologize for what happened before. You seems to have misunderstood me." Patricia finally spoke and mustered up the courage to show her regret. She didn't want their friendship to be broken.

"Patricia, it's a happy day today. Let's just celebrate the arrival of the new baby. Anything else doesn't really matter," Leena said in an attempt to hurriedly shift the topic. She didn't want any unpleasant thing to spoil her good mood today.

"No, Leena. I must clear this up with you today. In fact, I don't really mind your relationship with Tom. I was only being a little jealous. It is not like what you are thinking, that I don't like you two to be close." She recently had a hard time because she felt that Leena was lukewarm towards her. They had been friends for years and she really didn't want them to split up because of this, so she had decided to confront the nagging issue now.

"Patricia, truthfully it's normal for you to have such thoughts, because if I were you, I probably won't be as generous as you are now. So I think if we can consider things from the other person's perspective, we can understand better what is on each other's mind." Leena smiled lightly. She really didn't want to have such a disagreeable conversation with her, as Patricia just woke up from a surgery. However, since Patricia was firm to talk it through, Leena had no choice but to show her stand.

"Leena, don't you think that we have become estranged recently?" Patricia said as her eyes reflected the discontent in them. She was incredulous of her friend's reply as she somewhat felt that it wasn't really what Leena thought about this matter.

"Patricia, you've thought about it too much. I just changed a little bit in the way to get along with you, but I still feel the same towards you. Nothing in our friendship has ever changed." It was difficult for her to explain and even more difficult to convince Patricia with her explanation. And Leena had never thought herself as an eloquent speaker. Sometimes, she just felt that it was hard to find the right words and string them together to express what she really wanted to say.

"Really? It's not a lie?" Patricia looked at her incredibly. She had a subconscious feeling that Leena only said this to make her happy.
