It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 853

"Mignonne, I made some meat porridge for you. Have some. I learned how to cook it from the internet." Gerard worried that Leena might get sick, so he came to see her early in the morning. He was right -- Leena really got sick after being soaked in the water yesterday. That was unfortunate.

"Thanks, Gerard. But I don't have any appetite now." When Leena woke up, she saw the private doctor Duke had sent there. Obviously Kevin had called Duke. She had thought to call them and tell them she was okay after she felt better. But she fell asleep again. She even didn't know when the doctor left. She didn't wake up until she heard the doorbell ring. When she looked through the peephole, she was surprised to see it was Gerard. As she was sick now and might need some help, she opened the door.

"Mignonne, you'd better eat something. This should help you recover more quickly," Gerard said as he tried to lift Leena off the bed. But as soon as he reached out his hand, he was stopped by a sudden shout.

"Stop! What are you doing?" Duke appeared, suitcase in hand, looking weary after the long journey. He stared hard at Gerard as if he were a bad guy.

"Duke, you're here!" When Leena saw Duke, she was overjoyed. She didn't expect that she would see him so soon.

"How could I not be here? You're as sick as a dog!" Duke put down his suitcase and rushed towards Gerard, tackling him and pushing him away from the bed. Gerard fell in a heap. Duke then placed his palm on Leena's forehead. He felt relieved when he found that her fever was gone.

"I'm fine. I feel better after taking the injection and medicine." Leena grabbed his hand excitedly. It seemed that even though she was married, she was still as important in his heart as she was before.

"You have some nerve saying that. Why didn't you call the doctor in the first place?" Duke pinched her pale face with affection. Seeing that she was fine, he finally felt relieved. He had been worried all the way here.

"Mignonne, this is..." Gerard wasn't sure how to proceed. His face was also pale. Different from Leena's pale face, he was frightened by Duke's sudden appearance. He was wondering whether this man was Leena's husband. He got up carefully, making sure nothing was broken.

"Oh! He is my --" Duke cut her off.

"Hi! I'm Duke Leng, nice to meet you. Thanks for taking care of her for me." Before Leena could finish, Duke interrupted and introduced himself to Gerard in French. He didn't like Kevin, but he detested foreign men more. He was certain that this foreign man didn't know Leena's full name. So he wouldn't know Duke's real relationship with Leena.

"Hi, I'm Gerard. Mignonne is my friend. I feel obliged to look after her." Gerard was a little unhappy. But he knew he paled in comparison with the inborn noble manner of Duke. Even he didn't want to accept the fact, he had to admit that Duke was better than him.

"That's very kind of you. But I'll be frank. Since I'm here, I can take care of her myself. You can go home now." Duke smiled playfully. He was no fool. He could see the way Gerard looked at Leena, with that affectionate gaze and puppy dog eyes. What he wanted to do was to make sure no one interfered with Kevin and Leena's happiness. It was true that he didn't like Kevin, but that didn't mean he would accept this foreign guy as his sister's husband.

"Gerard is my friend, Duke. He came here with good intentions." Shocked, Leena stared at Duke. She knew he would act like this. Every time any man got close to her, he would try to intimidate them and run them off. Fortunately, she got married to Kevin before he knew anything, otherwise Duke wouldn't let them tie the knot.

"Leena, bad people will never write 'bad' on their foreheads. You know he has impure thoughts, right? I knew that at the first sight of him," Duke unabashedly criticized Gerard to his face, knowing that he couldn't understand the language they spoke.

"Mignonne, is he your husband? That's the reason you turned me down? But in my eyes, he's just so so. So I'll challenge him for the right to hold your hand. No matter what, I will never give up on you." Gerard stared at Duke aggressively. He felt Duke was rude and arrogant, and he needed to take this guy down a few notches.

"Oh! Challenge me? It's a pity that I don't like to play such stupid games. Because no matter how hard you try, you'll never make Mignonne change her mind. She'll always stay with me, not you." Duke looked into Gerard's eyes and glared at him. 'Kevin, don't forget you owe me again this time. I'm helping you protect your beautiful wife from being snatched up by another man, ' Duke thought.
