It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1454 Starting School (Part Four)

"Why would I know? Aren't you the one who should be asking her directly? I guess you two really need communication. All right. It's your business. I don't want to talk about it anymore." Leena felt amused about Tom's situation right now. This was getting ridiculous. She didn't know what to think of the couple. Patricia didn't tell Tom because she didn't want to burden him with her problems. However, Tom didn't try to make the effort to know what was happening around Patricia because of it. That was why they ended up in this situation. Leena seriously thought that they should communicate more. Patricia shouldn't bottle everything up inside her and Tom should know that his girlfriend needed his attention.

"I really don't know how to thank you, Leena. Not only do you have to worry about your own things but you also have to worry about Patricia and me," Tom teased his sister in a gentle voice. He might be joking but in fact, he was really grateful for having a caring and kind sister like Leena. Even though he didn't say anything about what Leena just said, he realized what he had done wrong. He really didn't pay Patricia much attention. One thing for sure though was that he would change that from this point on. "Yeah yeah. Of course! So, how are you going to repay me for it?" Leena raised her chin up and looked at her brother in an arrogant way.

"Of course there will be a reward for you. I have already written a new prescription for you. Here it is! Take it as a reward from me. You are welcome," responded Tom in a serious tone as he tried to keep a straight face. Nonetheless, it was obvious that he was just joking while looking at Leena.

"What? What kind of reward is that? Are you kidding me?" Leena's face instantly dropped after hearing Tom's words. Nevertheless, she accepted it. It was why she came here in the first place, wasn't it? She had no right to complain. If she wanted to have the chance to conceive a child, she had to take her medicine.

"Of course I was kidding! All right, tell me. What do you want for a reward?" Tom asked again. This time in a more serious tone. Leena was his precious little sister and he would give her anything she ever wanted in a heartbeat.

"Um. I haven't thought about it. I will tell you as soon as I have something that I want." Leena pretended to think for a short moment as she looked at the prescription in her hand. Just as she expected, she could not understand a word on the piece of paper. Tom's handwriting was so bad. She had heard that all doctors' handwriting were bad and didn't believe it. She knew better now though, it seemed that it was indeed true. Doctors didn't write for the patients to read anyway. As long as the person who prepared the medicine could understand, all was good.

"I have already asked someone to prepare the medicine for you. However, it won't be ready until this afternoon. So I am afraid that you have to come here again this afternoon. Or I can send the medicine to you later when I am off work. Either is okay." Though Leena had told him the reason why she needed the prescription last time, Tom still had a feeling that there was something that Leena was hiding from him. He felt a bit nervous about it. He had a bad feeling because he had no idea why Leena needed the prescription when she could have him prepare the medicine for her every time.

"I will come by later and pick the medicine myself. I have to bring Patricia food anyway. So you don't have to bother." As considerate as she was, Leena had already brought lunch for Patricia. Patricia just had to heat it up when she was hungry.

"Thank you very much, Leena. I really don't have time to look after her today. You know my job. I am extremely busy. I have a big operation later and I have to prepare for it," said Tom in a thankful tone. He was grateful that Leena was willing to look after Patricia for him. He leaned forward and gently hugged her as a thank-you gesture.

"Pffft. Why are you being so damn polite to me? It's actually nothing. Besides, I am not looking after Patricia for you. She is my best friend. Of course, I will take care of her no matter what. I should be the one stepping in when she is in need of help. That is what friends do, right?" Leena chuckled, feeling a bit amused that Tom was thanking her in such a formal way. To be honest, she had been just messing with him. Did he take it seriously?

"I know what you mean. But I still want to thank you, my dear little sister." Tom rarely got this emotional. However, seeing Leena get more and more mature recently made him really proud of her. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but feel a bit sad about it too. If he could, he really wanted Leena to remain innocent and carefree. She shouldn't worry too much in her life.

"I should thank you too, Tom. Thank you for caring about me and loving me all these years. I really can't imagine my life without you." Leena's beautiful eyes reddened after hearing his words. She couldn't help but get a little emotional too upon seeing Tom like this. Her heart throbbed painfully whenever she thought about not being able to see the ones she loved for a long time. However, at the same time, she kept telling herself that it was all right, as it would be okay in the end.
