"Okay, I will do it now, " Claire gently replied, taking the soup from her mother's hands. Then she walked out of the hospital room.
"Alas! What the hell is wrong with Leena? Why hasn't she woken up yet? Does she really have the heart to hurt us like this? It's breaking my heart seeing her in this state." Shannon carefully combed Leena's hair. When Claire told her that her daughter-in-law was indeed a fashion designer, she was a bit shocked. She didn't expect a girl from a wealthy family would make a living on her own. After all, it was common for children from rich families to spend their parents' money. But Leena was an exception. She was intelligent, talented and independent. And it pleasantly surprised Shannon. Her daughter-in-law couldn't get any more perfect.
"Mom, I have to go to the army base this afternoon. So please take good care of Leena for me." In Kevin's heart, he really wanted Leena to wake up, soon, now, if possible. But there was no sign of her waking up, as if she was intentionally making him suffer for what he had done wrong by keeping her eyes closed.
"Of course. What's the matter? Is there something at the army base that you need to deal with?" Shannon would surely take care of Leena. She considered this girl her own daughter. And at the same time, she was also worried about her son's health. He still looked a little too tired for her liking. She really hoped that he could at least get enough rest.
"Yes mom.. It's a bit urgent. So I need to go now. But don't worry. I will be back here as soon as I can." Kevin stared at Leena, who was still sound asleep, feeling a bit helpless about this situation. He really wanted to be by her side at all times, but he had work to attend to. He was slowly getting frustrated. He really loved Leena and this was something that he recently realized. And he was thankful that she was willing to be in love with him, even though he hadn't been treating her right. At the same time, he couldn't help but be mad at her for not believing in him, for punishing him this way. He didn't know what s frustrated and disappointed all of a sudden. He even promised to take her out for a meal as a thank-you gift for helping him fix his car. Well, maybe he promised her in the heat of the moment.
"Oh! It's you. I'm sorry for not recognizing you. I am really busy recently, so I completely forgot about you. Sorry! Well, are you here to visit Leena? How about this. I will take you to her room. But how did you end up in the motuary in the first place?" Tom finally realized who this girl in front of him was. He was really slow sometimes. He hoped that Patricia didn't think that he intentionally ignored her because he didn't want to treat her to a nice meal like he promised.
"Wait... what? This place is really a mortuary? Oh my God! No wonder I couldn't find my way out of here just now. It must have been the ghosts keeping me in here!" Patricia said while getting even closer to Tom, feeling afraid all of a sudden. Her hand on his arm tightened too. It seemed that she really believed in ghosts.
"Pffft. Please. How old are you? Why do you still believe that there are ghosts in this world? That's nonsense." Tom shook his head helplessly at Patricia. He had planned to go to the mortuary to get some samples but now that he ran into Patricia, he changed his mind. Well, the samples could wait. The most important thing was getting her out of here and into Leena's room.
