My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

"I need to go back, Adonis. I want to see him right now. I can't just pretend that I don't care about him." Leena grabbed Adonis' clothes in terror. She loved him, and she decided to not run away from the reality. She had to go back to him right away. He was in critical condition, and she must be by his side at a time like this.

"Understood. We'll head back." Adonis was single, and had never been in love. But he could tell that Leena loved her husband to death and wanted to get back to him.

The red letters, 'In Operation', flashed brightly even after ten hours. Kevin's surgery was taking longer than expected. But no one left the hospital. They patiently waited for his news outside the operating room.

By the time Leena showed up in the hospital, the operation had been going on for eighteen hours. When they saw Leena's staggering figure, they held their breaths and widened their eyes. They couldn't believe that she was here.

"Duke, where's Kevin? How is he?" Leena stumbled towards Duke. But she was in no mood for a meet and greet.

"So now you are worried about him?" Duke taunted. On the inside, he was happy to see his little sister, but it vexed him that she had left them for a man. Even though this wasn't the time or place to show his anger, he still couldn't control his emotions.

"Sorry Duke, I..." Leena bit her lower lip, not knowing how to explain. She was still worried about Kevin.

"If it weren't for Kevin's accident right now, you wouldn't have ever bothered meeting us, would you?" Edward asked in a cold voice. They used to dote on her, but she had left them without saying a word, which broke their hearts.

"I'm so sorry..." Instead of answering Edward's question, she apologized to him. She had foreseen their reactions on her way to the hospital. She could do nothing but take the blame silently.

"Leena, you're finally back," Shannon said and held Leena in her arms. She heaved a long sigh of relief and hoped that Kevin would wake up to see his wife.

"Mom, it was all my fault. I shouldn't have left," Leena said, tears streaming down her cheeks as she hugged Shannon back tightly.

"It's okay. Now that you're back, Kevin would be thrilled and he'll wake up soon." Shannon stroked Leena's back. She had come to S City as soon as she had heard the news of Kevin's accident. Kevin's father had something urgent to do in the army, so he couldn't come along with Shannon.

"Leena,

. They were all tired. They hadn't had any rest, nor had they eaten for the past twenty hours. They wanted to stay by Kevin's side for Leena's sake. Although she was now here, none of them wanted to leave. They wanted to be with her.

After another two long hours, the red light above the door finally went out. Everyone's heart began to race, as they waited for Tom to come out.

Leena grabbed Duke's coat tightly. Her face was so pale that she looked like she was about to pass out.

"Leena, relax. Kevin will be fine. You have to trust Tom," Duke comforted her as he stroked her back to calm her down.

"Hmm. I do trust Tom. I'm not worried." Leena tried to flash a smile, but failed. She was unable to calm herself down.

She was not the only one who was nervous. The operation had taken so long and no one was coming out of the room. They couldn't be at ease until they heard from Tom. The men were just better at hiding their emotions than Leena.

After a long while, the door was pushed open from the inside. The person who came out first wasn't Tom, but a nurse. And she was in a hurry.

"Lady, how was the operation?" Leena asked anxiously.

"Excuse me, please don't stand in my way. Dr. Qin has passed out, and I need to fetch the injection for him." Saying that, the nurse left in a hurry. Her words froze the blood in their veins. 'Why did Tom pass out? How was the operation? Did he pass out because the operation has failed?' they thought. Everyone's heart bounced to their throat. They stared at Leena, wanting to console her, but didn't know what to say as they watched her terror stricken face.
