Leena looked at them. Louisa was such a lucky girl. She had parents who loved her deeply no matter what she did. But Louisa took it for granted. Leena looked at Louisa and her mother with envious eyes. She had never gotten an embrace like this from her own mother.
The nurse came in with Louisa's report soon after and handed it over to Tom. He frowned as he read her blood sample report. The drug that the criminals had put in Louisa's food or drinks had already been banned and should have been destroyed a long time ago. He wondered how they had managed to get their hands on it.
"What? Is it bad?" Seeing the look on Tom's face, Kevin asked in a worried tone.
"Yeah, kind of. I have to perform a full-body check up on her and come up with an appropriate treatment immediately," Tom said, going through the report once again. This drug was very dangerous and if Louisa was left without treatment any longer, there would be some serious complications.
"Then what are you waiting for, Tom? Hurry up!" said Leena, who was more anxious than anyone else. Though she didn't like Louisa, she still wanted her to get better, especially after seeing her mother's tear-filled eyes.
"I know, I know. Stop rushing me! You take care of yourself." Tom glared at his little sister in fake annoyance. Only Leena could be this kind to someone who bore nothing but ill will for her.
The commander's wife raised her head and looked at Leena. 'Is this the woman who Kevin is in love with? My daughter lost Kevin to her?' she thought to herself, 'She is beautiful and sweet, but looks fragile. Is she really a suitable woman for a strong and powerful man like Major General Gu?'
Feeling the woman's gaze on her, Leena looked straight into her eyes. She sent a sweet smile her way. No matter what Louisa had done to her, her mother had nothing to do with all that. She was just a mother who was in pain right now. The commander's wife could not help but return the small smile. Leena's smile was really infectious.
Tom and his attendants at the hospital took Louisa out of the room in a wheelchair to get a full check-up done. The commander and his wife followed them. After they left, the hospital room was quiet again.
"Kevin, do you... Do you think that Louisa has been raped?" Leena asked in a low voice, turning towards Kevin. As a woman, she was aware of how frightening it would be to be in that situation. She sincerely hoped that Louisa didn't have to go through that.
"I can't say for sure, but from the way she was dressed, it doesn't look like she has," Kevin said, rubbing his chin. Usually, human traffickers who kidnapped beautiful women would keep their victims intact so that they could sell them at a high price. So he didn't think that Louisa had been raped. He had saved her just in time, before the man who had bought her could do anything to her.
"Thank God," she sighed, "But Kevin, how can you say that from the way she was dressed?" Leena asked innocently. Kevin smiled at her curious face.
