"Really? I don't see that." Leena looked over Tom and thought that he had a better built before. It was actually sad to see his health quickly deteriorating.
"Don't try to change the topic. Take the medicine. Make a video call to me every time you take it. I need to make sure that you are having it." Tom didn't allow her to refuse. He was doing this for her own good after all. One thing he could assure her was that he would never do anything to harm her.
"You better kill me. There are so many types of medicine, Tom. How could you give me this when you know that I hate herbal medicines the most?" As hard headed as she was, Leena didn't give up and kept on bargaining. She was already at the verge of crying as she sniffed. She looked so adorable while looking at Tom puppy-eyed.
"You are not the one to decide about that. Now, get out! I need to deal with a lot of things." Silently, Tom sighed in relief and evaded Leena's stare. He couldn't imagine how heartbreaking would it be once Leena found out the reason behind the medicine he was giving her. He thought that he could get on with the secret as long as Leena stopped asking anything about the herbs.
"Fine! I have a question though. How long should I take the medicine?" Leena felt frustrated as it seemed that she had no choice but to listen to Tom. She knew that Tom was not the type of person who would force someone to do things unless they were necessary.
"I can't tell you for now. We'll decide on that once it works," said Tom. He knew that he could only conceal the truth from her temporarily. She would be suspicious should she take that medicine for a long time.

"Brother, can we go to another restaurant?" As a woman, Leena was certain that Belinda minded Rachel, so she made the proposal for Belinda's sake.
"Why? Isn't it good here?" Duke asked confusedly. He had no idea about what was inside Leena's mind.
"Yes, it's good but somehow I want to make a little change. I think it's better for us to have the hot pot in such a cold weather." A sweet smile appeared on Leena's face as she spoke. She was acting so nicely that no one could even see through her. She was really convincing when she said that she just suddenly changed her mind and wanted hot pots.
"How about you? Do you want the same, Belinda?" Duke was still frowning when he turned to Belinda. He wouldn't mind agreeing with Leena's thoughts as long as Belinda was okay with it. Recently, he had been doing whatever she wanted. She was pregnant and she was simply his top priority among everything else.
"It doesn't matter to me," said Belinda without clarifying her thoughts. It was obvious that she didn't even care. She just had this gentle smile on her face the whole time. She was indeed a mother-to-be.
