It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 386

Tom took a deep breath, exchanged a look with Duke, then sprayed the medicine he brought on Leena's hand. Leena screeched in pain. Tom knew she would, but he figured he had to treat her anyway.

"Ouch! It hurts, Tom! You lied to me! You said I wouldn't feel a thing." The sudden pain pulled not only a scream out of her, but her head from Duke's arms. She struggled to get her hand free, but it was grasped firmly by Duke. She had no choice but to look at Tom pitifully. Her tears were the silent allegation of Tom's lie. She felt something! A big something. It hurt so much. Throwing the fact that she was surrounded by many people to the wind, she began to cry sadly. At the same time, her eyes drifted around the crowd. The sight of Kevin somehow made her feel quite reassured.

"But if I didn't lie to you, you wouldn't let me apply the medicine. What else could I do?" Then Tom took out a small bottle of white powder and sprinkled it onto Leena's injured hand. He did it so carefully, maybe because he didn't want to hurt Leena, or maybe because he was feeling reluctant to use the expensive powder. Anyway, with the medicine applied, Leena's pain went away.

Kevin was almost heartbroken to see Leena cry. So now he also looked at Tom worriedly, afraid he would use other painful medicines. Luckily, Tom packed up his medical kit after sprinkling the powder. That meant that Leena didn't need to go through anymore pain from the treatment.

"Take a look at her foot too." That was the first time Kevin said something since they all came in. And his words were quite explosive as now all their attention shifted to Leena's foot. All of them waited, holding their breath, not knowing what other injuries they were going to see.

"It's not necessary. I'm alright." Leena dreaded pain. She didn't want more done with her foot. She was tired of feeling pain -- she'd been through enough.

"Your foot got scalded too?" Duke cared about Leena so much that he held her foot up right away after hearing about any more injuries. When he saw her bruise, his eyes grew even colder.

"No." Leena murmured. She knew that Duke was already quite angry about her scald. Another bruise would only add insult to injury. She didn't want to see Duke fly into a rage and make a big deal out of her injuries. She was already in pain -- she didn't need to deal with him too.

"You must have been hit by something. But lucky you, it's not serious. I'll write up a prescription for you. You'll be fine." Tom smiled tacitly. He felt Leena's quivering foot and he knew what Leena worried about was more painful treatment.

"Okay. Thank you, Tom." Leena was relieved that she didn't need to be massaged like the treatment Kevin had given her. Yet when she saw the expressions on everyone's face, she sensed something bad might happen. 'Would Duke blame Kevin for my injuries? Hopefully not! I was careless. That's why I got burned and bruised. Kevin had nothing to do with it. What kind of wife would I be if I let him take the blame? Justin will call me a trouble maker again then, ' Leena pondered anxiously.

"Kevin, this is why you tricked my sister into marrying you? You just want her to get hurt? Is your so-called happiness purely based on injuries?" Duke questioned Kevin. Leena's premonition was right. Panicked, she embraced Duke tightly in case he stood up and picked up a fight with Kevin.

"Sorry. It's all my fault. I will be more careful." Kevin didn't explain. He took all the blame willingly. For him, it was kind of his bad for not taking care of his wife Leena well. Even if Duke didn't pound him for her being hurt, he would blame himself for it.

"Humph. Sorry? You think a sorry is enough? Kevin, you should know that I have never let Leena get hurt, not even for once, let alone the serious scald like today. And you think a sorry could wipe all these efforts off? How can I trust you with my sister again?"

Duke's words were aggressive and domineering, maybe because he hadn't quite gotten used to their flash marriage. That was why he was never kind to Kevin. Duke spent most of his time loathing the man.

"Duke, it's my own fault. It has nothing to do with Kevin. Please don't blame Kevin for it. Besides, he wasn't even at home when I got injured. He doesn't deserve your negative comments." Leena defended Kevin worriedly, hoping to dispel Duke's anger. She didn't want her mistake to worsen their relationship.
