It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 373 I'm Not Going To The Hospital (Part Two)

Kevin scurried into the study, fetched the first-aid-kit, and returned downstairs soon. Even he had no idea why he got enraged. But he clearly felt a sense of pain and sadness when he saw Leena getting hurt by the turner. The feeling was so intense that it swelled rampantly in his heart. He felt terrible at that moment. But he wasn't sure about the reason behind this uncomfortable feeling. Did it come as a result of his care for Leena or was it just guilt for failing to take good care of her?

"Stretch out your foot, let me put some medicine on it." Kevin dropped the first-aid-kit. He still wore a gloomy face. But his tone was softer than before.

"Hmm! Kevin, I'm fine." Leena slightly moved her foot backward. Although they were married now, she felt awkward to approach Kevin, especially when they were at an intimate distance. She didn't know what was wrong with her. But she got extremely nervous whenever Kevin came close to her.

"You sure you are okay? Because there is a huge bruise on your skin." Kevin looked at Leena's fair- skinned foot. There was a massive bruise on it. Kevin again got furious at the sight of the ugly bruise. 'Can't you take care of yourself?' Kevin roared at Leena in his heart. He wondered what she was thinking right now. She was severely hurt but was still refusing his help.

"You can hand the medicine to me! I can do it myself." Leena stretched out her hand for the medicine. But she had forgotten that her hand was even more severely hurt. So, Kevin's reaction at sight of the burn on her hand was indeed beyond her expectation. Kevin squinted his eyes to examine the burnt part carefully. The sternness in his eyes, like that of a ferocious eagle, was so terrifying that Leena didn't dare to speak.

"Leena, do you think that you can apply medicine on your wound with a burnt hand? What the hell did you do to get so badly burned?" Kevin closed his eyes in despair. Was he wrong in marrying her? Leena was born into a wealthy family. Her parents treated her like a princess. She didn't need to lift a single finger for her daily affairs at home, as her servants took care of everything. It was unimaginable

that a princess like Leena would do chores and household work. But ever since their marriage, Leena had taken the responsibility of running the house. She had rearranged the furnishings in the apartment and had cleaned and tidied everything. Kevin had noticed the changes in his house when he returned from his military exercise, and was surprised by the renewed decorations. After taking a closer look at his house, he had even found many new small artwork displays in the rooms, due to which the home seemed more beautiful and more comfortable than before.

"I..." Leena didn't dare to tell Kevin what had happened. She wanted to defend herself. But the fact was that she was distracted while she was cooking in the kitchen. She could not tell Kevin that she was thinking of their relationship when she was cooking. Leena had to swallow the words that were at the tip of her tongue.

"Let me treat your wound by applying some medicine on it! If it still aches, I'll take you to the hospital for better treatment." Kevin held Leena's hand and scrutinized it. He furrowed his brows at the sight of Leena's swollen red hand. It was severely hurt. What the hell had she done to hurt herself so severely! Kevin wondered.

"I'm not going to the hospital. My burn will be fine with the ointment." Leena hated the smell of disinfectants in the hospital. She got sick with nausea whenever she went to a hospital. If she just suffered from some mild diseases, a family doctor was hired by her parents to treat her at home. So, Leena seldom went to hospitals.

"Don't move. It may sting a little. But you have to bear it." Kevin gently applied ointment on Leena's hand burn. He was so careful and attentive that sweat beads were visible on his forehead. He was afraid of hurting her again.

"Ouch!" Leena let out a scream because of the unexpected sting brought on by the ointment. She clenched her teeth to suppress the pain. She had been sensitive to pain ever since her childhood. The slightest pain, in other people's opinion, would amount to unbearable suffering for her. Tears already

welled in Leena's eyes. She had the strongest impulse to cry. But she repressed the impulse as soon as she thought of her current situation.

"Does it hurt? I will be gentler. Don't bite your lip. You might hurt yourself again." Kevin raised his head to glance at Leena. This was his first time offering medical assistance to a female. He did it awkwardly. He had, of course, helped soldiers treat their wounds when he was in the army. But he did it more coarsely. Those soldiers were sturdy men with rough skin. Leena, on the other hand, was quite different. She was delicate and fragile.

"It's okay. I'm fine." The scalding pain was so harsh that Leena could feel her heart trembling with the sting. But she had to brave it out with clenched teeth. If she was not allowed to bite her lip, secretly clenching her teeth was the best way for Leena to suppress her agony.

"Why are you so careless?" In order to ease Leena's suffering, Kevin softly exhaled his breath on her hand. He was so gentle that it looked incompatible with his military uniform. Ordinarily, he was a tough soldier.

"I should have been focused while cooking." Leena said with a sneer. Kevin's concern towards her moved her. She looked at Kevin and measured him carefully. Kevin wore his military uniform in front of her quite often, but she seldom paid attention to it. Today, for the first time since their marriage, Leena examined Kevin in his military uniform from a close distance. Unlike her brother's elegance and courtesy, Kevin was handsome with masculine charm. He looked calm and stern, which might be due to his military uniform.

"Raise your foot up. Hurry!" Kevin put down her hand carefully. 'It was severely hurt. It will probably get infected without proper treatment by a doctor, ' thought Kevin.

"Hmm! The foot - that might be unnecessary!" Leena eyed Kevin carefully and said in a doubtful tone. She intended to turn down his suggestion, but she was afraid that her refusal would enrage him again.

As a result, her refusal didn't sound determined. Leena felt a change in her attitude towards Kevin. She didn't use to care about his mood swings or anger. In recent days, however, she had spent too much time obsessing about his feelings. That might not be a good sign!

"Of course it is necessary. I must rub your foot with some herbal wine. And the spray will help your bruise to recover faster." Kevin frowned while speaking with Leena. Getting no response from her, Kevin grasped Leena's foot all of a sudden and put it on his leg. In Kevin's opinion, Leena was not a coy woman. But to his surprise, she looked quite conservative and shy today. Kevin tried to figure out the reason behind Leena's abnormal behavior. Why was she behaving so strangely today? She wasn't the woman that he had known anymore.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
