My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

"Damn you Tom! Thank God Kevin is okay! Why did you say sorry to us the second you got out? You scared the shit out of all of us!" If Tom hadn't fainted just now, Rain would have surely knocked Tom out himself. His mis-worded and untimely apology made everyone's hearts jump out of their mouths. For a second there they all thought that Kevin had died on the operating table. Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding.

"Ummn, well... I thought you were worried about me? That's why I apologized for making you wait so long. Wait a minute, so none of you were worried about me at all?" Tom was a bit confused. After a long and tiring operation, his mind was a bit slow. Who told them the operation was not successful? Why would they think that?

"Why would we be worried about you? You were not the one whose life hung on the balance. You are totally fine! We are worried sick about Kevin! 'I am sorry' are the words a doctor tells a family when he couldn't do anything to save the patient's life. So when you said those words, you gave us all a heart attack, thinking that we lost Kevin!" Edward couldn't help but shout at Tom. Though he was grateful that Tom was again the life-saver, he indeed gave them all a scare. Whether he did that on purpose as a practical joke or not, he should never do that again, especially to other families in the future.

"All right, all right. You really know how to make me feel special," Tom said sarcastically while moving to sit on the closest chair. He was too exhausted right now to move. The operation was hard, and it tired the crap out of him. He felt that he could sleep for days. All he wanted right now was a clean and warm bed to rest. He couldn't even raise a finger now.

"Well, Thank you! Thank you very much, Doctor Qin! You are literally a life-saver!" Shannon said to Tom in a sincer

tired after staying in the hospital for too long. He never liked being in this place. All he wanted was to go home right now, have a good bath and relax. His mind had become at ease knowing that Kevin was going to be okay. Moreover, Leena had finally come back, and he was happy about it.

"Leena, you should go home and have some rest as well. I know that you have had a long flight. Maybe take a hot bath like what everyone is talking about. I will be staying here and watch over Kevin," Duke suggested. He knew his sister. She must be exhausted right now after coming here straight from the airport. If she didn't rest now, she might fall ill, especially because her defenses were down and now exposed to other illnesses at the hospital. Duke certainly didn't want that to happen.

"No I can't do that. I am staying here and I will wait for Kevin to wake up. I want to be the first person he sees when he wakes up. How about this? You take my mother-in-law home so she can have a good rest. I will call you as soon as Kevin wakes up." Leena glanced at Shannon, who had a tired look on her face. She was worried about her mother-in-law. She deserved to relax and have some sleep after thinking about her son for so long.
