Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1544 I Can't Lose You (Part Two)

"Yeah. You're right. I have the key, so I'll head out. Be right back." Lee thought she was right and did

not oppose her proposal.

"No Lee, you've done too much already. I'll hold things down here, come back tomorrow." Leena turned

him down in a hurry, because she wanted to spend more time alone with Kevin. She had a lot of things

that she hadn't had the chance to say to Kevin.

"Why?" Puzzled, Lee frowned at her.

"Stop asking. Do what Leena says. She's not gonna hurt Kevin. Don't you worry." Patricia knew what

Leena was thinking, so she pulled Lee out.

Leena blushed watching Patricia do this, knowing she must have read her mind.

Patricia took Lee out of the room. Her recklessness made Lee, who had never touched a girl before,

extremely embarrassed.

"You big dummy! Leena wants to be alone with Kevin for a while. Don't you understand?" Patricia didn't

know why Lee was acting so strangely, so she scolded him sarcastically as soon as she let go.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know." Lee scratched his head in embarrassment. He really didn't get it until now. He

realized how foolish he had been.

"You're all good. Now swerve!" Patricia suddenly had a feeling about Lee. He seemed like a great guy,

a cut above most of the people she had met so far.

"Then I'll go now. Good-bye, Mrs. Qin." Patricia was no stranger to Lee. As for the people and things

related to Kevin, he would find a chance to know them in advance.

"Bye!" Patricia waved to him and watched him leave. Although she did not know Lee well, she was

polite to him.

"What are you looking at?" Tom, in his white coat, had just finished a meeting and wanted to come and

see Kevin.

"Oh! Are you off work?" Patricia was so pleased to see Tom that she put her arms around him and did

not care who could see them.

"No. It's a while before my shift ends. Where's Leena? She awake?" Tom didn't push her away. Though

he was not used to it, he forced himself to adapt. He knew they were husband and wife, so that kind of

intimacy was normal to them.

"Yeah. She's awake. In Kevin's room. You going in?" Patricia smiled brightly. Although Tom was absent-

minded most of the time, he had changed a lot. She was happy with it. She knew she should learn to

be content with what she had, and being too greedy would only hurt their relationship.

"Yeah, I'm going to conduct an exam. He's fine for now, but we can't let our guard down." Tom opened

the door and saw Leena carefully wiping Kevin's face.

"Tom, why didn't you wake me up?". As soon as she saw Tom, Leena began to fling accusations at

him. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You slept like a baby, so I didn't wake you up." Tom was not lying. When he went back to his office to

get the patient's case, he found her sleeping deeply so he did not wake her up. He knew she would be

worried about Kevin if she woke up. It was better for her to just rest. Kevin wasn't going anywhere.

"I knew you would do that, somehow. It's so you." Leena was relieved to see Kevin out of danger, so

she didn't mind Tom not waking her up so much.

"Hmmm... his lips are dry. I'll get some medical swabs for you to wet his lips with. Don't move him,

though. Be gentle," Tom ordered as he examined Kevin.

"OK. Copy that." Even if Tom hadn't asked her to do it, she would do it anyway. It was just one more

way she could show him she loved him.

Duke and Belinda ordered dinner. Although Belinda knew that Leena was back, no one had sent her,

so she had to wait for Duke to bring her. After all, she was pregnant now and she needed someone to

be there for her wherever she went.

"Belinda, you're getting so big." Looking at Belinda's belly, Leena touched it curiously.

"Yeah. And if you don't come back, you won't see your little nephew." Belinda said crossly. Although it

was nice to see her, Belinda felt a little sad at the thought of her leaving without saying goodbye before.

"I'm sorry, Belinda. I know you love me and I hurt you. You forgive me?" Leena was playing now. She

knew Belinda didn't mean that, and she would rather have her back than resent her.

"Why should I be angry with you since you don't remember who we are?" Belinda said this deliberately,

thinking, 'I need to let her know that what she did was wrong, so she doesn't pull this again.'

"Oh! I already said I was sorry. I know I was wrong. What more can I do?" Leena pursed her lips, both

hurt and moved. She knew that no one but the ones who loved her would care about what she did so

much.

"OK. I'm not gonna be mad at you. Come on, eat. You're in your twenties and still so immature." She

was mad but Belinda still couldn't help but care for her

"She's still my sister," Duke said suddenly, standing nearby. Sure enough, he lavished all his love on

her as usual. He would not allow anyone to mess with her, not even his beloved wife.

"And you are still too protective. Didn't you say you'd give her a piece of your mind when she got back?

Why change your mind now?" Belinda rolled her eyes in silence. She knew he didn't like lecturing

Leena, so she didn't take what he said seriously.

"What? Jealous now?" Duke suddenly smiled. Although his smile was not obvious, you could tell he

was happy.

"I'm not like that. That's more your style. Relax." She knew how much Duke sheltered Leena. If she

really cared, she would be pissed off. But he was stubborn, so all she'd be was unhappy. So she made

up her mind not to care. Besides, they were brother and sister and could not become lovers. So what

was there to be jealous about?

"Good girl. I've trained you well," he teased. Duke's eyes rested on her asymmetrical, pregnant figure.

Since becoming pregnant, she asked Duke every day if she was ugly. Sometimes, Duke would joke to

her that she was really ugly, but he never thought of it that way. It took a lot of sacrifice for a woman to

have children for a man. Because he loved her heart, he could never find her ugly.

"Don't flatter yourself too much. I am still very much my own woman," Belinda said smugly. Her

stomach was much larger than before, but the rest of it had not changed much. She was now a

beautiful pregnant woman.

Leena never spoke and just ate in silence. Now that the topic had finally shifted from her to Belinda,

she didn't want to catch any more flack. Belinda, however, did not intend to let things go that easily.

"You've only been away a few months. How did you get so thin? Are you trying to lose weight?"

complained Belinda. Compared to Leena's slim figure, Belinda looked fat, which depressed her.

"You kidding me? I haven't lost any weight!" Leena almost choked. She put down her fork and tried to

recover.

"Leave her alone. She's just jealous of your figure." As Belinda's husband, Duke certainly knew what

she was thinking. She was jealous of Leena. If Belinda hadn't said a word, no one would have noticed

anything, because Leena was the same size as she always was.

"Ganging up on me now?" Belinda was frustrated by Duke's constant taunts. This was how pregnant

women were.

"Belinda, do you want a reason to complain?" Duke said playfully, a hint of danger in his eyes. Belinda,

overwhelmed by Duke's words, thought, 'Damn it. I made him angry again.' For his part, Belinda had a

lot of leeway, but he wouldn't allow her to be too independent. That was his bottom line.
