"Yeah. She has asked about it many times. I can't cover up the secret for too long. I'll have to tell her the truth when the time comes, and that time is soon." Tom was in a dilemma. Leena complained every time she came to him. He wanted to tell her what the deal was, but the words always got stuck in his throat.
"Oh my! Poor Leena." Belinda was depressed. Leena was a good girl, but she seemed to attract a lot of misfortunes in her life.
"Don't worry too much. I'm trying to find a cure for her. Maybe she can get pregnant one day. It's the 21st century. It's no longer imperative to have a baby. Even if Leena can't get pregnant, I don't think Kevin will make a fuss over it." Some time ago, Tom got so preoccupied treating Patricia that he didn't have time to look into Leena's infertility. But now that Patricia was up and about, he could now concentrate on Leena and how to solve this problem.
"No woman can accept that she's infertile. Leena will get devastated when she finds this out." Belinda was an expectant mother, so she knew the feeling very well. She hoped that all women could be pregnant like her, at least at the right time when they were ready.
"That's why I haven't told her yet." Tom massaged his temples and grimaced. It already took an extraordinary effort to treat Patricia. Now it was his sister's turn. He had to think about Leena's problem.
Leena didn't know how she left the hospital. She always thought that Tom's prescriptions were to build up her resistance. It wasn't until she overheard Tom and Belinda talking that she found out they
"Are you okay?" Kevin asked with worry. He drove back at full speed but didn't find Leena in the house. He was afraid that she would take the news to heart and do something silly.
"Yeah. I'm all right." Leena smiled sweetly although her eyes were red and tears marred her face.
"Where are you? I'll pick you up." Kevin didn't believe her. The news gave rise to much discussion all over the city. Leena must have seen or heard about it.
"Err… Aren't you at work now?" Leena's smile died. She thought she misheard Kevin.
"Well, I just went downtown for some work, and then I returned home, but you're not here." This was the first time that Kevin had told a lie to Leena since she bared her heart to him. He felt bad about it, even if it was just a white lie.
"Don't bother to pick me up. I brought the car and I'll be home very soon. Take out the ingredients in the refrigerator. I'll cook lunch for you when I get home." Holding back her sadness, Leena started her car and drove into the traffic, knowing that Kevin was at home waiting.
