"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 ite to this?


    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.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    "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.0?????????????
