Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1538 The Operation Was Very Successful (Part One)

"What did she mean?" Rain asked, looking at everyone with confused eyes. He didn't understand what

the nurse meant. The situation was tense and worrisome, and Rain was no longer his usual carefree

self.

"Why are you asking me? How would I know?" Edward rolled his eyes at him in annoyance. If he had

any idea what was happening right now, he would not be so anxious. Rain's question only made him

feel more stressed.

"Everyone, calm down, okay? Everything will be all right." Shannon was naturally more mature than all

of them because she was older. Though she was worried sick about her son, she had to be strong for

all of them. She needed them to calm down. That was why she said these words to comfort them. But

who was she kidding? Saying those words, she was also in fact trying to comfort herself.

"Will it, Mom? Is he really going to be okay?" Leena asked in a shaky voice. She could not even

breathe right now. Her heart was beating so fast in her chest that she could hear the blood pulsing in Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

her head. She didn't know how to feel except that she was feeling numb. To say that she was worried

sick about Kevin and Tom was an understatement, especially when she didn't know what was going on.

"Yeah, of course, it will. I guess Tom is just a bit exhausted. You know, the surgery has been going on

for hours now." Duke answered, then dropped a gentle kiss on her forehead. He knew clearly what

Leena needed the most right now. All she needed was reassurance, and he was more than willing to

give his little sister that. He knew that he should be strong for her during this extremely hard time.

Just then, the same nurse who had just left hurriedly came back. They all knew that this could be an

emergency, so none of them stopped her this time.

Leena couldn't tell what she was feeling right now. Her head was in a mess. Her thoughts kept

alternating between Kevin and Tom. They were both equally important to her. She couldn't even

imagine her life without Kevin. She deeply regretted ever leaving without telling anyone. What if Kevin

died before he got to see her again? What if she never had the chance to talk to him ever again? She

didn't know what to think anymore.

The silence was deafening. Nobody talked, because nobody knew what to say at that moment. They all

had nothing but tired looks on their faces, and each person had different thoughts in his or her mind.

Nobody dared to think about the worst case that could happen. All they could do right now was to wait.

Their hopes got up again when they heard the door to the operation room swing open. Everyone turned

to look with intensely hopeful eyes. This time, Tom walked out. They all held their breath, waiting for

him to open his mouth and say something.

"I am sorry!" Tom, seeing all eyes on him, suddenly felt a bit self-conscious. That was why the first thing

he did was to apologize for making them wait this long. But it came off differently, how he said it, thus

they misunderstood him. Everyone gasped in disbelief and said at the same time, "That's... that's all?"

"What do you mean, you're sorry?"

"Oh my God..."

"So you mean...he's..."

"Kevin..." Hearing Tom's words, Leena immediately thought the worst. She fainted right after saying his

name. It was too much for her to take.

"Leena! Leena! Wake up! Oh dear. Leena!" Duke, who was standing beside Leena, was immediately

able to catch her as she fell. She might have hit her head on the table had he not caught her. He was

afraid that Leena would also fall ill because of what just happened.

"Tom! Take a look at her, quick! What the hell happened to her? Why did she faint all of a sudden?"

Edward asked in an exasperated tone. Things were getting out of control. Everyone was still confused

about Tom's 'I am sorry' statement, and now, Leena had fainted. It felt like things couldn't get any

worse. Not only did they have to worry about Kevin's condition, but now Leena fainting had become

another problem to attend to.

"Everyone, give her some room. Let me check." Tom quickly walked over and started to check on

Leena. He gently stroked her face. Fortunately, Leena regained consciousness, putting their fears to

rest. They could now heave a sigh of relief, at least for Leena, who most probably couldn't handle any

bad news about her husband.

"Leena, are you okay? Do you know that you fainted? How are you feeling now?" Tom asked while

checking her vitals. He knew that Leena was probably so anxious to know about how Kevin was doing

that she fainted, but he just had to make sure. He didn't want anything to happen to his precious little

sister.

"Tom, is... is Kevin..." Leena bursted into tears before she could even finish her words. She didn't want

to think of the worst, but she just couldn't get her mind off the possibility that she would never see Kevin

again.

"Don't worry! The operation was very successful. I just had to make sure everything was perfectly okay,

considering that he is a soldier. I had to make sure that he would still have an agile body and that he

could still function the same way as before. That's why it took me so long to finish the operation." This

was definitely the most tiring operation that Tom had ever performed. He was being extremely careful

because he knew how important Kevin was to Leena. That was why he fainted the moment he got out

of the operation room earlier. He was just too tired, and he could finally relax his strained nerves.

"Really? You are not lying to me? Oh my God, thank you so much Tom! Thank you! When can I see

him then?" Leena hugged Tom as her face broke into a huge smile though there were still tears on her

big beautiful eyes. She knew that Kevin wouldn't have the heart to leave her. He loved her too much to

do such a cruel thing to her.

"Tomorrow morning is the earliest time you can see him. He has to be in ICU under close observation

for now. All we can do is hope for the best that no complications arise during this time." Tom pinched

the place between his eyebrows, feeling tired as hell. This operation had taken him almost 24 hours to

finish. Fortunately, the result and outlook were positive. He successfully saved Kevin's life and his

efforts had not gone to waste at all. He was happy that Kevin was okay for now. He knew Leena would

be devastated if anything bad happened to the man who completed her life.
