Chapter 1348 Death Was No Laughing Matter (Part One)
"That''s all right. I will be here watching. Otherwise I''ll be extremely worried." As soon as he heard
himself say these words, he froze for a short second. He was shocked at himself. Since when did he
start caring this much about Patricia? How did this happen?
The paramedic also heard it and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He couldn''t help but wonder
what was the rtionship between the patient and Tom. Based on what he heard, the good doctor
seemed to care a lot about this girl.
The morning came and the golden rays of the sun brightened everything they touched. But Patricia still
didn''t wake up. She was lying on the hospital bed with a peaceful look on her face. She must have
been really tired, both mentally and physically, just wanting to sleep forever and forget about all the
pain. Fortunately, her condition had be stable overnight. It didn''t worsen, which made everyone
who cared about her let out a sigh of relief.
Standing inside his own office, Tom''s face also showed how tired he was. Yes, the operation on Patricia
was very sessful, but it didn''t mean that she waspletely out of danger. After all, she was badly
injured. The surgery performed on her was not an easy one. What happened next would be crucial to
her recuperation. Now all they could do was wait. Even Tom didn''t know when she would wake up and
if there would be anyplications.
Why was he so worried about Patricia? Tom couldn''t understand his own feelings towards this girl. Had
he be inevitably attracted to her? That would exin why he was so anxious, whether she would
wake up from it or not. His heart throbbed, and it was a new and strange feeling to him. This was
impossible and it came out of nowhere! In addition, he hated anything not being in control. How did it
Though it was a Saturday, Kevin still got up early. He cooked a nice breakfast, nning to bring it to
Tom, who had stayed in the hospital all night, keeping watch over Patricia. He knew that Tom would be
tired making sure that her condition did not worsen. He also wanted to thank him on Leena''s behalf.
Last night, Leena tossed and turned in bed and couldn''t get any decent sleep, thinking about her best
friend. She finally drifted off close to sunrise only because she got tired worrying. Now she was still
sound asleep in bed, and Kevin felt bad waking her up.
"Nana, I am going to the hospital now. I will be back soon." Being deeply in love with Leena, naturally,
Kevin also cared about those who were close to her heart. He didn''t ever want to see Leena sad or
worried if he could help it.
"Okay," Leena mumbled with her eyes still closed. Apparently she was still deep in her slumber and
probably in a dream somewhere. She didn''t hear a word Kevin was saying, but she gave a semi-
conscious reply. Then she quickly fell sound asleep again.
Kevin was surprised. He had thought that it would take a while to convince her to stay home.
Fortunately she agreed easily.
When Kevin arrived at the hospital, Tom was walking out of his office. So when he opened the door and
saw Kevin there, he was surprised. He didn''t expect him here, alone.
"Good morning, Tom." Kevin dressed casually today. The weather was a bit cold, so he had a down
jacket on him to keep himself warm.
"Good morning. What are you doing here this early?" Tom gave him a curious look as he was about to
go and check on Patricia''s condition. Kevin wasn''t the first person he would expect toe here at this
time of the day, especially not for Patricia.
"I brought some breakfast for you. Besides, I want to know how Patricia is doing. Leena was worried
sick about her and almost didn''t sleep all night," Kevin said while showing Tom the meal box in his
hands.
"Oh okay, cool. That''s very nice of you! Thanks for the breakfast then." Tom took the meal box from
Kevin''s hands. He felt grateful for Kevin''s thoughtfulness. Who knew that he hadn''t eaten anything yet?
"No need to thank me. We are family, aren''t we? Just eat it before it gets cold." Kevin followed him to
his office, d that he and Tom were getting along better now.
"Where is Leena? She didn''te with you? You said, she spent all night worrying about Patricia?"
Thinking of yesterday when she left and how reluctant she was, he felt helpless. He just wanted to
know if Leena was alright.
"Yes, she did. I think she has just fallen asleep when I got up. Also she threw a small tantrum
yesterday. But you know her, she is not the unreasonable type. So it is understandable." Kevin felt
helpless about the tantrum, but he didn''t feel the slightest irritation with his wife. Well, he loved her, so
what could he do? The only thing he could do was spoil her and let her do what she wanted.
"Yeah, that is just how Leena is. She will throw some tantrums from time to time, but she never holds
grudges. So we usually just let her. She won''t do stupid things anyway." Tom shrugged his shoulders.

He could almost imagine the look on Leena''s face when she puckered up her lips in anger.
"Well, maybe she is like that because you all spoil her." Kevin said with a littleugh. He actually liked
it, that there were many people in Leena''s life who loved and cared about her. Most of all, he was
happy to be one of those people now.
"So are you unhappy that we spoil our little sister?" Tom raised one eyebrow at Kevin''s words. If Kevin
dared to say ''yes'', he might kick his ass.
"What? No, of course not! In fact, I''m happy that you are spoiling her because I do exactly the same.
She deserves it." No matter what Leena was like, with the good and the bad, they had promised to
spend their lives with each other and ignore each other''s imperfections. Throwing small tantrums from
time to time would be part of that marriage and would not be a big deal. Even Kevin might have his
tantrums in the future.
