Chapter 1564 Visiting The Army Base (Part One)


    "Just tell me. Don''t keep me guessing," Tom said, smiling. He shook his head helplessly at his little


    sister, feeling amused. He was dressed in his all-white uniform, looking handsome and gentle as ever.


    His smile was enticing, making everyone around him return it.

    "Well..." Leena hesitated, "Kevin is going for a field training next month. I heard that this training is


    especially hard. I''m not sure if he can handle it, considering he has just recovered from his injuries. I


    am a little worried. I want to hear your thoughts about it." Leena gently bit down on her lower lip. Her


    worried eyes were fixed on Tom. She wanted to know exactly what he thought about letting Kevin go


    for the training. She didn''t want Kevin to injure himself again. She was there for his professional advice.


    "Since when have you started being so formal with me?" Tom sighed, "Ask him toe here for a


    check-up. I will run some tests on him and see if he has recoveredpletely. But I don''t think there


    will be any issues. It has already been more than half a year since Kevin''s ident. Considering his


    current health condition, there shouldn''t be any problems. I''m sure he can handle a little hard training.


    But I''ll run some tests anyway to make sure. Better safe than sorry." He smiled reassuringly.


    "Okay, I will ask him to drop by whenever he is free. Kevin has been very busytely. He hardly has


    any time to eat and sleep. It would be hard for him to squeeze in some decent time for a check-up,"


    Leena frowned.


    "Let hime when he has some spare time. Just give me a call before hees, okay?" he said, as


    he nced at Patricia''s belly. He had been prepared to be a ve for her when he hade to know


    that his woman was pregnant. But much to his surprise, this little woman didn''t have any morning


    sickness. Her conditions were normal to his relief. He was grateful for that because, in this way, he


    didn''t need to worry much about her while he was at work.


    "Thank you, Tom. I am really sorry to bother you at work," Leena said, wrinkling her nose in a cute way.


    "You are acting strange today, Leena. You have never been this polite to me," Tom joked and then


    continued in a serious tone, "By the way, since you are here already, why don''t I run some tests on


    you?" This was not the first time Tom had brought up this subject. But every time, Leena found excuses


    to refuse him. Tom could not force a check-up on her and didn''t know what to do about her constant


    rejection. If he didn''t have an idea about her condition, he couldn''t write a new prescription for her to


    get better. So he really wanted to convince her to get a check-up done.


    "Not right now, Tom. Maybe next time. I''ll be free when Kevin goes for his training. I will drop by then for


    the check up," she said. When she saw Tom frown at her, she added, "I promise to follow all your


    instructions." She smiled, but her heart was bitter. Though she had already epted that she might


    never have a child of her own, she couldn''t help but wish that that was not her fate. She was still trying


    to remain hopeful, but the chances were very less. Tom saw through her and decided to let it slide. He


    hated to see the sad smile on Leena''s face.


    He quickly changed the subject, "All right, deal! Nowe on, it''s time for lunch! My treat!" Tom said.


    He took off his white coat and grabbed the car keys on the desk. When his eyes fell on Leena''s messy


    hair, he couldn''t help but reach out to fix her hair for her. She was still his adorable little sister. His love


    and care for her hadn''t changed even though he got married and had his own little family now.


    "Great! I am actually pretty hungry. Looks like it''s my lucky day!" Leena said happily. She was d that


    she didn''t have to eat lunch by herself today. She finally had her brother and her best friend to give her


    Tomughed, seeing her enthusiasm and said, "You can eat anything you want. Patricia, are you with


    us? You seem to have spaced out. Come on, let''s go." He grabbed Patricia''s hands, bringing her out of


    her trance. He was surprised, because Patricia was never this quiet, especially when Leena was


    around.


    "Oh! Sorry, my mind was elsewhere," she said inly. She felt a bit uneasy seeing Leena and her


    husband''s interaction. She knew that she was being irrational, because they were just like siblings and


    she was sure about it. But if anyone who didn''t know that they were sister and brother saw them


    together, they would definitely take them for a couple. Patricia had to admit, she was a bit jealous.


    "What were you thinking about? You seemed really focused on your thoughts," Leena teased her as


    they walked down the hospital corridor together. But Patricia was going through someplicated


    emotions regarding the rtionship between Leena and Tom. She knew that they cared deeply for


    each other and that mutual feeling waspletely tonic, but she still couldn''t shake off her doubts.


    What if there was a glimmer of a chance that they might be holding some subtle feelings for each


    other?


    "I''m afraid that you will bothugh at me if I tell you." Tom gently held her hand as they walked and the


    small gesture warmed her heart.


    "Why is that? Patricia, were you thinking about some other handsome guy?" Leena teased her again,


    winking at Patricia with a meaningful smile. Leena knew that Patricia had always been fond of pretty


    boys. But she was just pulling her leg. Leena knew how much Patricia loved Tom. But she was very


    curious as to what she was thinking about, especially after Patricia had said that they mightugh at


    her.
