It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1613

"I have a patient who has a severe condition. It's not very optimistic. I have to be here all night and keep a close eye on him. He should be ready for surgery at any moment." Tom was exhausted. He had been working for hours and the patient's condition was very serious.

"Oh, all right. What would you like me to get you then?" Kevin rarely had food with Tom, so he was unaware of the latter's preferences.

"Anything would be fine. I'll have what Leena has ordered." Tom was not a picky eater. He was fully aware as a doctor that a balanced diet and nutrition was important to keep the body strong and healthy.

"Okay. I'll bring the food to your office later." Edward was going to foot some bills tonight, seeing the amount of food they were going to order.

"Oh, no. You can just call me and I'll join you. It's a bit lonely to have dinner all alone!" The more people, the merrier it was for Tom.

Kevin and the staff of the catering division knew each other well. They quickly packed up the food he ordered and saw him off. The girls stared at him with pining eyes, marveling at how handsome and brave he was. They dared not get close to him. They knew they couldn't be someone special to him, as that position already belonged to his wife. Leena was a successful and charming woman who had an excellent family background. Kevin only had eyes for her. They were a match made in heaven.

As Kevin walked out of Kate Hotel, his eyes met an approaching Louisa. S City was not that huge. It was normal to run into acquaintances. Louisa was behind a man, who had his hand on her arm. Kevin wondered who the man beside her was. Wasn't he too old to be her boyfriend?

The man pulled Louisa into the hotel. Louisa made no response when her eyes slid to Kevin, as if he was a stranger. Her gaze was vacant and devoid of any emotion. It was unusual behavior on her part; she always greeted him when she saw him.

Kevin could not help but frown. He had no interest in saying hello to her, but something felt fishy about this situation. The man was being strange. Louisa was a picky woman when it came to men. Kevin doubted she would want this old and ugly man as her boyfriend.

"Wait!" Kevin turned on his heels and walked over to the pair, speaking loudly. His stern tone caused them to stop at once.

"Yes?" Initially, the man had been nervous when he saw Kevin in his military uniform. He was obviously a high-ranking military official. Now, as Kevin approached them, his voice trembled.

"What is your relationship with her?" Kevin was puzzled as to why Louisa still did not make a sound upon seeing him approach. He looked at her with his eyebrows slanted, but did not question her.

"Sir, it must be obvious. We came to the hotel hand in hand. She is my girlfriend, of course." The man's eyes shifted as he spoke. He was ill at ease. He had paid a lot for this woman. He could not just let her go.

"If that's the case... would you mind telling me her name?" Kevin stared at him pointedly. By now, he was sure that this man was not good or honest. What was wrong with Louisa? She was never so quiet when she saw Kevin.
