It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1625

"Come on, Kevin. I can take care of myself. Aren't you busy now?" Leena asked. She had been sitting there drawing before Kevin called. She stood up and stretched her legs.

"Yeah, I am. But I'm worried about you." While speaking with Leena on the phone, Kevin let his eyes settle upon the latest weapon designs on the table in front of him.

"Don't worry. That's what servants are here for. We have three of them." Leena believed that Kevin was overreacting. There were three servants in their house, and she believed there was nothing for Kevin to worry about.

"I'd still be worried if we had 30. Have you had any milk?" After learning that drinking milk during pregnancy was good for both mom and child, he made sure Leena had a glass of milk every day. She was beginning to get sick of it.

"Come on! I already had a glass. Stop nagging." Leena shook her head in resignation. She lowered her head but wasn't able to see her toes, as her belly was swollen like a basketball.

"Okay, okay. I gotta hang up now. I'm very busy and won't be home til late. Don't wait for me to have dinner." Kevin couldn't help but frown when he thought about his assignment — check on the Falcon's training schedule. The training program seemed to get nowhere.

"Got it! Take care of yourself. Bye!" After hanging up, Leena stared back at her designs on the desk. It seemed that the launch event of autumn clothing needed to be postponed. She couldn't finish the designs on time. As for the winter clothing, she really had no time and decided to cancel it.

"Hey, why are you here?" Edward asked with a frown, looking at Leo.

"Here's the thing. My birthday's in a couple of days. I was wondering if you and Daisy could have dinner with us on that day?" Leo answered politely. He couldn't help but show respect for Edward.

"That's not up to me. I'll have to ask Daisy first," Edward said with a shrug. Although Daisy didn't object to Edward and Justin contacting Leo, her attitude towards him hadn't changed. There was no love lost there.

"I know. Please tell her Brian will be back then. She'd like to see him, I think." Leo knew Daisy cared for her brother, Brian, and she would come as long as Brian would be there as well.

"I will, but no promises." Edward, however, didn't think Daisy would say yes.

"That'll be great. Thank you, Edward." Leo had done something really terrible to Daisy and her mother. That was why he was unable to face Daisy now. He even humbled himself in front of his son-in-law.

"Since you're here, why don't you have lunch with me?" Edward suggested. Even though Daisy didn't regard Leo as her father, Edward decided to treat him better. After all, blood is thicker than water.

"No need for that. I'm headed to the hospital now. Thank you though," Leo said with a smile. He hadn't felt well at all in recent days, so he decided to visit the doctor to figure out what might be wrong.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Edward asked with a frown.

"It's a chest problem, I think. I wheeze and cough all the time. No big deal." Leo didn't take it seriously. He was too old to run his company now anyway.

"Got an idea. My family doctor, Tom. I'll call him now. He's at Renxin Hospital." Edward took a closer look at Leo, taking in his stooped posture, and the lines and crags on his face. The old man did look much older than before. He felt bad for the way he'd treated Daisy. This depressed him, and his guilty heart weighed heavily on him.

"Don't bother him on my account. I heard he's very busy." Leo was thrilled. Many of his friends had wanted to make an appointment with Tom, but failed. He knew it was extremely hard to make an appointment with Tom. But now Edward was offering him a chance at the top notch doctor in the city.

"It's okay. He's my friend." Edward dialed Tom's number and told him Leo's situation.

Leo was moved by Edward's kind offer. If he hadn't driven Daisy and her mother out of the family, they would still be together, and happy. He regretted what he had done deeply.

"Alright. I got a hold of Tom. He'll be in his office waiting for you," Edward told him. He didn't think he had done a lot for Leo, so when he noticed Leo's grateful expression, he was a little embarrassed. He did this only because Leo was Daisy's father and he didn't want Daisy to feel bad if something really was wrong.
