281 Doctor Heather

Nick cursed at himself for slipping his tongue at the last minute. He didnot intend to tell the truth, for he knew Leena would break down instantly. For the past week, Nick had seen how crazed Leena had turned when Devin was not around. Even Kurt witnessed it because he often visited their office to check up on Leena. That's the reason Kurt warned Nick to bring Leena to the hospital without planting a doubt on her mind, but alas, he couldn't keep up with the truth.

''Take me to him.'' Leena quietly whispered, stepping out of the car. She knew Nick wouldn't tell what exactly happened to Devin. She could feel nothing but blind terror when the thought of something that happened to Devin has crossed her mind. Her fear had become a palpable force that snaked over her like a hungry beast, immobilizing her body. Not before Leena's legs touched the ground, her body quivered, and if not Nick's fast reflexes to hold her hand, Leena would have fallen onto the ground.
