Chapter 1169 A False Alarm (Part Three)

"What happens after that? An injection?" Leena gulped nervously. She was going to cry if Tom said "yes". First an X-ray, now an injection?

"It depends. You won't need one if the injury isn't serious." Tom showed his teeth in a humorless grin. He was starting to relish this in a way. Leena was quite pretty, and she was especially beautiful when she was nervous. He enjoyed seeing her this way.

"You mean I may have to get an injection," Leena said in a resentful tone. She tried her best to give him a heart-rending look.

"That's right. Don't try to weasel out of it." Really, Tom was curious how she got injured, but now was not the best time. But he used discretion and didn't ask Kevin how it happened. But he did shoot an inquiring glance at him.

"Kevin…" Since she wasn't getting through to Tom, she thought maybe if she begged Kevin, who'd been quiet so far, he could speak up for her, and save her all this pain.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here with you." Kevin gave his wife a comforting smile. It was nice to know that she could depend on him for something. He thought maybe she would turn to her brothers to get whatever she needed, so he was happy to be needed by her.

"You do this every time you get a checkup," Tom said. "What are you going to do when you're pregnant?" Tom shook his head and went out first. To be honest, Edward, Duke and Tom were to blame for this. They were protective of Leena, waited on her

ye and Tom didn't press her further. She especially didn't want him to ask Kevin about it.

"Okay. Head on home. Have a safe drive. Remember to apply the medicine after taking a bath. Help Leena with that, Kevin." Tom didn't ask them to stay. It was late, and he would also go home after stuffing his stomach with food and dealing with his caseload.

"No problem. Thank you, doctor." Kevin was sincere. He really was thankful. His wife had a close relationship with Tom, but he still needed to be polite and respectful to him.

"Come on. Don't stand on ceremony. I'm no stranger. Just call me Tom! I'll go home after I've finished up here." The procedure took several hours. Tom had to admit he was tired.

"Bye, Tom. Let's go." Leena waved goodbye to Tom and then walked out of his office, Kevin on one arm, and Claire on the other. She didn't even think of introducing Claire to Tom, and Tom didn't seem to know she was there. They all forgot her.
