"Tom?" Leena carefully opened the door a crack and popped her head in to look for Tom.
"Co in." Tom didn't think anything of it. He thought that Leena ca by herself, so he just glanced at her casually and turned his gaze back to the case files again.
"Sorry to disturb you, Dr. Qin." Kevin followed Leena into the office and greeted Tom first.
"Hey! Kevin! Been awhile. Oh -- oh no! Is Leena okay?" Tom was surprised to see Kevin, but he was more worried about Leena. He probably took her here, and Kevin wasn't a frivolous man. It was likely that Leena was hurt.
"Yeah. Soone elbowed her in the back. I thought I'd bring her here and get it checked out." Kevin liked Tom. He was a lot nicer than Edward or Duke.
"What? Leena was attacked? What happened? Do Edward and Duke know?" Tom stood up from the chair when Kevin told him this. This was not the ti to be careless. Leena was sick recently, so he had to take precautions.
"Don't tell them, Tom. They'll have a fit. It's annoying," Leena said anxiously. She didn't want to have them make a fuss over her, so she hoped he'd keep quiet.
"Co over here and lie down on the couch. Let take a look." Tom stared at Leena angrily. There probably wasn't anything wrong. Otherwise, she wouldn't be this happy. The person who beat her was asking for trouble. If Duke knew, he'd track the guy down and chop off his hand. If Edward found out, who knew what might happen? Maybe he'd kill the thug.
"Go ahead and eat, Tom. No rush," L
"Alright, we're done now. You can sit up. We'll need an X-ray just to be on the safe side." Grim-faced, Tom pulled down her shirt. He knew Leena could hardly bear any pain at all, but he was still uneasy. He might find sothing -- a pinched nerve, strained muscle, a bruised bone perhaps. Maybe an X-ray would show him what was going on.
"What? Why do I need to take an X-ray? Can't you just give sothing for the pain?" Leena pursed her lips, looking pitiable. She ca to Tom precisely because she didn't want an X-ray. It was a headache for her, and frankly she was more than a little afraid of it. But she ended up needing one anyway.
"You can't just bat those eyes at and expect to get anywhere. You need an X-ray. Let's go. I'll take you there." Tom grabbed her coat from the coat rack, and held it up while she put her arms through the sleeves. He affectionately tucked the loosened tendrils of hair behind her ear, while her husband Kevin could do nothing but stand by anxiously.
