Chapter 385 A Precious Person (Part Two)
At first, the skin on her hand just turned red when he applied some medicine. But he didn''t expect big
blisters to appear after dinner and he got increasingly worried. He persuaded Leena to go to the
hospital, but she refused to go no matter what. He decided to ask the doctor from the military base to
come and look at her hand, but Leena insisted that it would be troublesome and she''d call Tom instead.
Recalling what she saidst night about Tom being an excellent doctor, he agreed. But he didn''t expect
so many people to arrive.
Knowing she couldn''t hide her hand anymore, Leena showed it reluctantly. She herself felt terrible
when she saw her hand. As expected, everyone gasped at the sight.
"How did it be so severe? Didn''t you wash your hand immediately after?" Tom frowned. He
sighed, internally despairing for his medicine. He seemed to be losing a lot these days.
"I did wash it. But I forgot to use the medicine afterwards." Leena stuck out her tongue awkwardly. She
completely forgot about it. If Kevin hadn''te back and noticed her hand, it would have probably
been worse.
"Damn it. What on earth did you do to hurt your hand like this?" Duke seldom yelled at Leena. Even
when he heard that she married Kevin, he didn''t shout at her. But seeing her hand covered in horrible
blisters, his heart suddenly tightened. He couldn''t help yelling at her.
"It''s no big deal. I wasn''t careful enough while I was cooking. It''s not that bad. It''ll probably heal in a few
days. Right, Tom?" Leena shot Tom a meaningful look, hoping that he would help her out and y
along. She didn''t know what Duke would do to Kevin if he was this angry.
"What? You can cook?" Duke got confused with her response. He looked at her in puzzlement.
Everyone else also felt confused. Besides Kevin, everyone doubted that Leena could cook. But they
came to the conclusion that she hurt herself because she wasn''t a skillful cook.
"Well, just a bit." Leena inwardly cursed herself. This was bad, she never cooked for Duke or anyone
else. Since she said she was cooking, there were bound to be moreints. But it wasn''t her fault.
It hadn''t been long since she returned to the country. How could she have an opportunity to cook for
them?
Duke didn''t care that the others were unhappy about it. He became jealous at Leena''s response and
nced coldly at Kevin. Kevin frowned at Duke''s dark look. Wasn''t itmon knowledge that Leena
could cook? He didn''t know that she never cooked for anyone else. At the thought,plicated
feelings surged in his heart. Even he couldn''t understand what he felt about her.
"Hey, girl. Don''t you trust me? I can''t guarantee what other doctors can do. But for me, I''m going to
treat the scald on your hand. My medicine is quite precious, so don''t move and make sure the medicine
doesn''t spill over. Just to be clear, you might feel some pain, but you have to hold it in, okay?"
Tom broke the angry atmosphere and exined the procedure to Leena. He anticipated that Leena
might move her hand due to the pain when he applied the medicine. He raised his eyebrows and
looked at Duke meaningfully, conveying that he should hold Leena''s hand to prevent the medicine from
spilling over. He had spent a lot of effort on his research on the scald medicine. That was all he had of
this medicine and once wasted, there wouldn''t be any more.

Duke frowned. Despite that he had a lot ofints and negative feelings about Kevin, he sat down
next to Leena. He held her in his arms and put her face against his chest to prevent Leena from seeing
the treatment. Everyone knew that Leena was afraid of pain. The best way to treat her was to apply the
medicine on her hand before she could realize it.
Tom nodded to Duke, indicating him holding Leena''s hand firmly. Duke frowned tightly. To tell the truth,
he also felt nervous. He was afraid that his heart might soften and he would withdraw her hand. He
didn''t believe Tom when he said that it would hurt a little. If that was really the case, he wouldn''t have
asked him to hold her hand. Duke got worried that he couldn''t stand it.
Edward also knew that Tom was downying the truth to Leena, so he clenched his hands anxiously.
He recalled how Leena had been in her childhood. She cried so hard when she got pricked by a rose
thorn. Seeing therge blisters on her skin, he couldn''t help getting anxious too.
Cold fingers held Edward''s quivering hand. Daisy smiled at him when he turned his head to look at her
in surprise. She understood his feelings about Leena more than anyone else. He didn''t feel much love
from his family. He considered Leena as his family and gave his affections to her instead. That was
why he always doted on her. He must be heartbroken to see Leena hurting so badly. Edward regarded
Leena as one of the most precious people in his heart. His feeling for Leena was definitely different
from what he felt for Daisy and Justin, and there would never be any conflict between them.
