Every time she saw how much Kevin adored Belinda's baby, she would weep in the corner and keep all the tears to herself. It turned out that he couldn't really act like he didn't mind at all. She could see his eyes light up when he was with kids.
"Kevin, how about we adopt a child?" Leena suddenly proposed one day.
"Why? Aren't we good with our life now?" Kevin wasn't very excited about the idea. He didn't want to hurt her. This would cause much more stress to her and possibly drive a wedge into their marriage.
"Yes, we are. But I just think that you may want to have a child." The truth of the matter was, if they really adopted a child, she was not sure if she would handle it well.
"Don't think too much. You don't know how tiring it is to raise a child. Aren't you going to prepare the winter fashion show soon? Why not put more efforts on that?" Kevin embraced her and squeezed her into his arms. His brows furrowed. Did he do something wrong that had unwittingly hurt her? He wondered.
"Okay. I will listen to you." Cuddling up against him, Leena beamed. But deep inside, she felt cold as if there was a snow storm in her heart.
"I will go abroad next month and I will stay there for about eight weeks. Will it be okay for you to be here at home alone?" In fact, besides training, there would be competitions which would be as fierce as ever. They had to cross the rain forest and overcome life-and-death challenges. The one who held on until the last moment would be declared the winner.
"Huh? Is it a military task? Isn't it dangerous?" Leena backed a few steps. She was worried whether his body could cope with it.
"A little dangerous. But don't worry, I will be very careful." As a soldier, it was his obligation to follow the orders. He couldn't have any other choices. But since he loved his job, he would stick to it until the very end.
"
ast. And it is so true!" Leena gave her a bright smile and tried to get rid of all the unhappy thoughts. Even though she was not pregnant now, she believed that one day her wish would come true.
"That's great. I am happy that you think that way. But, don't push yourself too hard." Patricia patted her shoulder, feeling very sorry for her.
Tom came back soon. The assigned doctor to the emergency case was not sure of his diagnosis, so he conferred with Tom so he could have a look.
"Leena, it has been a long time since you came here last." Tom said while putting down the medical records on the desk. He was quite surprised to see her.
"Oh, no. Tom! This is the hospital. Why would you expect to see me here frequently?" Leena switched naturally from a mature woman to a lovely and sweet girl, as if she had a dual personality.
"Good point! Besides, who makes the rule that people can only come here when they are sick? Right? Well, Since you came, you must have something to ask." Tom recognized what she came for as soon as she finished talking.
"That's why I always told other people that you are a smart guy. You are really a genus." Leena smiled embarrassedly. As expected, Tom saw through her. So she was not surprised at all.
