Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1539 The Operation Was Very Successful (Part Two)

"Damn you Tom! Thank God Kevin is okay! Why did you say sorry to us the second you got out? You

scared the shit out of all of us!" If Tom hadn't fainted just now, Rain would have surely knocked Tom out

himself. His mis-worded and untimely apology made everyone's hearts jump out of their mouths. For a

second there they all thought that Kevin had died on the operating table. Fortunately, it was just a

misunderstanding.

"Ummn, well... I thought you were worried about me? That's why I apologized for making you wait so

long. Wait a minute, so none of you were worried about me at all?" Tom was a bit confused. After a

long and tiring operation, his mind was a bit slow. Who told them the operation was not successful?

Why would they think that?

"Why would we be worried about you? You were not the one whose life hung on the balance. You are

totally fine! We are worried sick about Kevin! 'I am sorry' are the words a doctor tells a family when he

couldn't do anything to save the patient's life. So when you said those words, you gave us all a heart

attack, thinking that we lost Kevin!" Edward couldn't help but shout at Tom. Though he was grateful that

Tom was again the life-saver, he indeed gave them all a scare. Whether he did that on purpose as a

practical joke or not, he should never do that again, especially to other families in the future.

"All right, all right. You really know how to make me feel special," Tom said sarcastically while moving to

sit on the closest chair. He was too exhausted right now to move. The operation was hard, and it tired

the crap out of him. He felt that he could sleep for days. All he wanted right now was a clean and warm

bed to rest. He couldn't even raise a finger now.

"Well, Thank you! Thank you very much, Doctor Qin! You are literally a life-saver!" Shannon said to

Tom in a sincere tone. She was extremely grateful that this talented doctor had saved her son's life.

She couldn't be more grateful. For a second there, just like Leena, she had thought that she had lost

her beloved son. Fortunately, the outcome was good. Now she could finally let her mind rest and heave

a sigh of relief.

"You are welcome, ma'am. It's my sworn oath to do my best to save people. Kevin will be sent to the

ICU soon. They're just finishing up the dressing of the wound, among other things. Well, right now I

need to grab a shower. So if you all would excuse me." Though it was still winter and the weather was

cold, Tom was all sweaty after performing the lengthy surgery. He needed to take a shower to freshen

himself up and relax his rigid muscles. Then, he would have a nice long nap.

"Of course. Go ahead. You absolutely deserve it." Shannon was also tired herself, but she was still

poised and elegant as ever. All throughout the whole ordeal, she remained calm, even though deep

inside she had a storm of uncertainties about whether her son would survive.

"Thank you so much, Tom! You have no idea how much this means to me and to all of us." Leena

thanked him with happy tears. She knew how tired Tom must be right now, and she was grateful for

having him in her life. Tom must have been extremely careful with Kevin knowing that it was Leena's

husband he was operating on. Though as a doctor, saving people was a natural thing to do, he couldn't

help but pay more attention to every detail in Kevin's case. He was family. Period.

"Yeah, but don't forget, you still owe me an explanation, Leena." Hearing Leena's words, Tom didn't

even look back at her. It seemed that he was really hurt by Leena's abrupt, selfish actions. In fact, they

all were. Leena did such a cruel thing to them, and the least she could do was to let them know why

she did it. They would definitely all understand why. But they needed to hear it from her.

Leena gently bit on her lower lip hearing what Tom said. She knew that she had gone too far this time.

She had been too selfish, and she had only considered her own feelings. Not only did she leave her

husband behind, but she also disappeared without a trace from all the people who cared deeply about

her. What she did was like a slap to their faces, making it seem like she didn't trust them enough. She

completely ignored them and cut them out in her life.

"All right. Now that we know that Kevin is okay, I guess we can all go home and have some rest. We

can come back tomorrow and check on him," Duke interrupted. He didn't want to embarrass Leena and

make the atmosphere awkward again. They had had enough drama for one day. Though he was also a

bit disappointed at Leena himself, he still didn't have the heart to scold her right now. Maybe they all

needed some time to calm down and think. He knew that Leena had a lot of explaining to do, but now

was not the right time. Kevin should be their main focus now.

"Yes, I agree. We all need to recharge. If something happens, just give us a call." Edward was also

tired after staying in the hospital for too long. He never liked being in this place. All he wanted was to

go home right now, have a good bath and relax. His mind had become at ease knowing that Kevin was

going to be okay. Moreover, Leena had finally come back, and he was happy about it.

"Leena, you should go home and have some rest as well. I know that you have had a long flight.

Maybe take a hot bath like what everyone is talking about. I will be staying here and watch over Kevin,"

Duke suggested. He knew his sister. She must be exhausted right now after coming here straight from

the airport. If she didn't rest now, she might fall ill, especially because her defenses were down and Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

now exposed to other illnesses at the hospital. Duke certainly didn't want that to happen.

"No I can't do that. I am staying here and I will wait for Kevin to wake up. I want to be the first person he

sees when he wakes up. How about this? You take my mother-in-law home so she can have a good

rest. I will call you as soon as Kevin wakes up." Leena glanced at Shannon, who had a tired look on

her face. She was worried about her mother-in-law. She deserved to relax and have some sleep after

thinking about her son for so long.
