Chapter 1612 Running Into Louisa (Part One)
low-down about pregnancy. After all, Rain would eventually get married and have a child of his own.
"You better keep a few points in mind when you are with a pregnant woman. Don't stand too close to the stairs. Don't go into crowds. Keep track of your surroundings at all times so that you keep potential dangers at bay. Got it?" Tom felt it would be good to give Rain the "By all means! But I won't dare to take her out before the baby comes out. That's just too risky." Rain got the fright of his life today. He never wanted to experience something like that ever again. 'No way, he thought sardonically as his eyes rolled upward in pain. "Well, in that case, don't expect your future wife to go out when she gets pregnant." 'Rain is just overreacting, 'Tom thought. A pregnant woman didn't have to be confined to her house. As a matter of fact, going on walks outside was beneficial for her health.
"Oh, for sure! Ouch! That hurts! Are you actually trying to heal me? Or are you just making it worse? Stop rubbing so much of that alcohol on me!" Rain complained, screaming out in pain. It hurt like a bitch when Tom applied the rubbing alcohol on his wound. He only got scraped a bit. The wound was not even that serious. A little alcohol on a cotton swab was enough. To Rain, it felt like Tom had emptied the entire bottle of alcohol on his cut. Maybe Tom was exacting some sort of twisted revenge on him.
"Of course I am healing you! You don't want the wound to be infected, do you? Don't scream like a little girl now. I am the doctor here. I get to decide how to treat your wound," Tom reassured him, but he would never tell Rain that he was being a bit rough on purpose. Leena was still worried about Rain, when she herself had been in a precarious situation. Tom was somewhat jealous.
"Fine. I don't want to fight with a quack anymore. Just finish it quickly. I need to check on Leena; see how she's doing." Rain rolled his eyes at Tom impertinently. How he wished he could throw the contents of that bottle into Tom's mouth! Rain would see how he would not scream then. "Oh, so now I am a quack? Go and find yourself a genius doctor to treat your wound then!" Tom halted in his actions and turned around, ignoring Rain's protests. 'Ungrateful brat!' he thought, as he moved to exit the ward.
"Hey! Jerry, don't! You can't just leave! You have to finish what you've started, all right?" Rain stood up and followed Tom with determination. Tom had quite a temper on him. He was so easy to anger!
"I don't know about that. After all, I have no medical expertise," Tom replied in a seemingly sour manner. He was about to get some medicines, not to storm out of the room, pissed off. He still needed an ointment to put on Rain's wound.
"So, you are admitting you are a quack, then? Oh, finally!" Their voices faded away into the distance as they walked out together, farther from the ward. The room grew quiet once again.
As soon as Kevin was informed of Leena being admitted to the hospital, panic arose in him. He rushed to the hospital, having clocked out early from work.
"Kevin, why are you here?" Leena chewed on her lower lip. She felt a bit awkward facing him.
"What happened, Nana? You should be more careful than this," Kevin said, walking toward her bed cautiously. Rain told him that everything was fine, but seeing Leena on the hospital bed, Kevin just felt restless.
"I'm sorry that I got you worried about me. It won't happen again, I promise." The doctor told her she needed to be more careful. Leena did not dare to get off the bed.
"Oh, my darling! If you want to go out next time, make sure it's with me. Otherwise, I'd be scared the entire time." Kevin admitted to himself that it was arbitrary and controlling of him to put such restrictions. However, it was the only solution he could think of right now. "Oh Kevin. Please, no." Leena's face wrinkled up at Kevin's words. She didn't want to be a prisoner in her own house! Kevin didn't get much free time. When would she ever go out, if he was only available late at night, after work?
"Would that be a problem?" Kevin raised an eyebrow at her questioningly.
"Well, no." Leena's voice was meek. Even if she did have a problem, she would not voice it out loud. Not today. Truth be told, the accident was not her fault. She had been careful. It happened because of that girl named Tiana, who had bumped into her all of a sudden. "Well then, it's settled. Don't try any tricks on me." Kevin knew Leena was outdoorsy, but he could not allow her to do whatever she wanted before the delivery of the baby. This was different. Both of them needed to exercise caution for some time.
"So, what's for dinner? I'm hungry." Leena sensed that Kevin was about to launch into a speech, so she immediately deviated from the subject to distract him. She was not his subordinate, who was supposed to listen to his lecture whenever she made a mistake. "You're hungry? I'll call to check if the dinner is ready. If not, I'll go to Kate and get something for you." It was one of the benefits of being Edward's friends. They could get what they wanted from a world-class kitchen, whenever they liked. "Hah. Edward would be so mad at us." Leena burst into laughter. They went to Kate a lot recently because of her sudden cravings. She always wanted to eat a particular dish or a cake.
"I doubt it. Even if you go there every day, he would be fine with it. He loves you far too much." Compared to before, Kevin was more subdued about Leena's wealthy brothers now. He was no longer so concerned about his self-respect.
"Okay then. I want peeled prawns. I am craving them suddenly." It was good that she had a rich brother. She could order whatever she wanted to eat for free.
"You glutton. Wait here. I'll get you the food soon." Kevin bent his head and left a gentle kiss on her lips before leaving the ward.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Leena sighed in relief as she watched Kevin leave, having managed to escape his tirade. Thank God she didn't have to endure his endless chattering anymore!
"Hey, Kevin. Didn't you just come? You're leaving so soon?" Not long after Kevin walked out of Leena's room, he met Tom.
"Leena wants something from Kate Hotel. I'm going to get her some food." A pregnant wife was of utmost priority. As Leena's husband, he would do whatever was in his power to satisfy her.
"Great. Bring me some too! It's been a long time since I enjoyed Kate's food last time!" Tom drooled at the mention of Kate Hotel. He loved the food there. Unfortunately, he seldom got to go there after marriage. Because of Patricia, he didn't get a lot of chances to eat outside.
"Are you not going home today? Patricia is probably waiting for you for dinner!" Kevin looked at him, squinting his eyes. He heard that Tom had turned over a new leaf after getting married. He was the obedient husband to his wife.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
