It'll Come Naturally

"No, but she complained of pain in her lower abdomen. So, you'd better get ready. We'll be there in ten minutes," Rain said while concentrating on his driving. It had never been a moment in Rain's life when he felt so scared. He knew well how difficult it was for Leena to

have conceived the baby. And he was also aware of what that child meant to Leena.

"All right. Be safe on the road!" Tom said. He hung up the phone and ordered the nurse to notify the Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology to be ready for treating an emergency case.

"Leena? Are you all right? Do you still feel pain in your stomach?" Rain asked worriedly. Although it was spring and the weather was cool, Rain sweated buckets because of the fear gripping his heart.

"It's not as painful as before. Don't worry, the baby will be okay," Leena said softly to assure Rain. The words were meant to comfort both Rain and herself. When she felt her dress, Leena was thankful there was no sign of bleeding. So she hoped her condition wasn't too serious. Thanks to Rain jumping ahead of her, she didn't hit the ground directly. Or that would have definitely been more serious.

"It has to be okay, or I will cut myself over it!" Rain said. 'Damn it, Tiana Ke!' He cursed her in his head. Rain vowed to make her pay for what she did to Leena.

"Rain, please don't say things like that. You frighten me," Leena pleaded. Leena was already panicking because of her condition, but Rain's words made her feel even worse.

"Okay, I will refrain from saying such things. Just sit tight, and we'll be arriving at the hospital soon," he told Leena. He stepped on the accelerator and maneuvered the car expertly. The only thing Rain focused on right now was to get to the hospital safely in record time. The last time Tom stood outside the hospital was to wait for Kevin. Now, he was waiting for Leena. He was beginning to think this couple was quite troublesome.

Then he saw Rain's car screeching towards the hospital. So he ran to meet it.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Opening the passenger door, he quickly examined Leena and urgently asked questions. "How do you feel now, Leena? Do you still feel pain?" He carefully helped her out, and then picked her up lightly to prevent more stress. He was afraid that walking would cause her situation to worsen.

"I'm feeling better. I'm relieved to see you, Tom," Leena answered. In her eyes, Tom was omnipotent, so she put her complete faith and trust in the doctor.

"You need to have a series of tests first, okay?" he told Leena. There was no time to speak to Rain. He walked quickly towards the hospital. Leena would be taken to the obstetrics operating room where they had the latest comprehensive diagnostic equipment.

The Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology was already waiting for them there. When she spotted Tom, the doctor immediately checked Leena, who continued to grasp Tom's hand. As much as she wanted to be optimistic, Leena feared the result could be devastating. "Take it easy. It's going to be all right," Tom said while patting her hand. He could feel the woman's panic as she clutched his hand tightly. Tom rubbed her shoulders for assurance.

"It's not a big deal. Later, I will have an injection ready for you to protect the baby. Then you have to rest for a couple of days. You'll both be fine." The obstetrician's words allowed Leena to sigh in relief. The conclusion came after a series of examinations. Although Leena fell from the stairs, she did not hit hard objects. So, it was not as serious as they imagined.

"Are you sure? So, my baby is fine?" Leena shut her eyes for a few seconds. She touched her belly and started rubbing it gently. The doctor's diagnosis was a pleasant surprise for Leena. On the drive to the hospital, she had psyched herself to receive bad news. "Yes, the baby is fine," the physician assured Leena. "But you can't be careless after what happened. If you're still worried about your baby's condition, I suggest you stay in the hospital for observation. Two days should be enough," she added. The obstetrician also told Leena that when she listened to the baby's heartbeat, it was strong and stable.

"Stay in the hospital for two more days! It's safer that way," Tom made the decision for her. "If she's going to be confined, I'll make the necessary arrangements," the doctor told Tom and Leena.

Tom acknowledged her with a nod. The doctor turned around and left without saying anything more. She knew the patient would be in good hands with Tom at her side.

Anxiously, Leena asked, "Tom, do I really need to stay in the hospital?" She was in a quandary. If confined even for a few days, Kevin would find out that she has fallen down. It would surely lead him to restrain her from going on any outings in the future.

"Yes, just in case there are other complications or problems," Tom gently argued. There were many hidden dangers that could result from a fall that initial testing might have missed. Or they could develop later. Tom didn't want to take any chances where Leena's baby was concerned.

After arranging the ward for Leena, Tom left the room. At this time, he finally saw Rain. "What's the matter with you? Why do you look like you've just climbed out of a dumpster? Why are your clothes covered with dust?" Tom asked.

"If Leena and the baby are okay, it doesn't matter if I climbed out of a cesspool," Rain retorted. He leaned against the wall and sounded weak when he spoke. When the obstetrician who checked Leena came out, Rain hurriedly asked for an update on her situation. Once he learned she was okay, he let out a deep sigh of relief.

"Let's go!" Tom pulled Rain. "I'm going to check on you and any injuries you may have. I heard from Leena that you also got hurt," Tom said. It was still a puzzle to Tom how the two of them got hurt. They just went to eat out. What happened that made them both injured? "I'm okay. It's just a small bruise. I don't need you to check up on me. I want to go see Leena first," Rain insisted. He was still thinking about what happened. And deep inside he could still feel the panic. Trying to shake off the fear he felt earlier, Rain wanted to see for himself that Leena was all right.

Tom blocked his efforts. "Leena said that you should have your body checked up first. Then you can go and see her. So, stop arguing and just do it!" Rain was obviously reluctant to undergo examination. Tom wondered how nervous the guy was about his injuries. If Rain wasn't enthusiastic to be examined by Tom, neither was Tom looking forward to examining him. But Leena had made the request so he was going to do it, even if he wasn't going to get paid for doing it.

"That wrench!" Rain gritted his teeth in annoyance. Since it was Leena who asked that he should be seen to by a doctor, Rain had no choice but to comply. It would be easier to follow Tom and let him examine his injuries.

"Fortunately, you protected Leena well enough and broke her fall. Otherwise, the baby would truly be in danger," Tom reported. He still was curious why Leena fell down from the stairs but he said nothing. What was important was that Rain was there to protect Leena in such a dangerous situation.

"Stop talking about it, okay? I still feel panic just thinking about it," Rain said morosely. He rubbed his chest anxiously. If something serious had happened to the baby, Rain didn't know how he could face Kevin after.00000
