Chapter 1268: Duke Wrath (part two)

That won't be necessary. I'm all right. Thank you for your concern." As a soldier, Kevin was used to being injured, so he didn't care much. Besides, he deserved it for not protecting Leena. He was not a good husband at all and was not as caring and attentive as he should have been.

Duke still glared daggers at Kevin. He didn't think what he had done just now was wrong. Leena had never been hurt before she met Kevin. But ever since she married this guy, all kinds of accidents kept happening to her non-stop. How could Duke not be mad at Kevin?

"Leena, please wake up! I'm here." When Duke finally saw Leena lying on her hospital bed, his heart broke. Her face was extremely pale. She seemed so lackluster and lifeless. When he had seen her in Paris last time, he thought she was at her worst. He had been wrong. Nothing broke his heart more than the pale little face he saw right now. Her breath was shallow, as if she were seconds away from leaving them for good. Duke was heartbroken and afraid at the same time.

Kevin, on the other side of the bed, stared at Leena with pain and affection in his eyes. He wanted to hold her in his arms so badly, but he knew it was not the right time to do so. He knew that Duke was probably even more devastated than him. Leena was the little princess in their family. Duke had watched her grow up into a beautiful and kind young lady. It must be heartbreaking for him to see her like this, so Kevin tried his best to contain his emotions.

"Tom, what's wrong with Leena? Why hasn't she woken up yet?" Duke asked Tom anxiously. Leena was out of her dangerous condition, right? Tom had confirmed it. So why was she still asleep?

"Don't worry about it. She will wake up. It's just a matter of time," Tom said as he carefully checked up on Leena to make sure she was stable. He didn't want to miss anything.

"I want to know exactly how long it would be before she wakes up. And who did this to her?" Duke looked at everyone coldly. He didn't want them to hide this from him.

"Duke, calm down, please. Don't you believe Tom?" Belinda was a bit afraid that Duke knew who had done this to Leena. It was not like the person who did this didn't deserve Duke's wrath, but she thought that if he knew, he would be even more worked up than Edward and act vengefully. All hell would break loose and it wouldn't be good for Leena's recovery. It would only cause more trouble. Besides, she believed that Edward had made Louisa suffer enough for what she did to Leena last night.

It's not that I don't believe him. I just want to know who did this to my precious sister! She was always weaker than the other kids when she was small. For health reasons, I taught her how to swim when she was five years old. How is it possible that she fell into the water and drowned?" If they told him she had frozen in the cold water, he would have believed them. But drowning? How was that possible? Leena had been swimming for years, for God's sake! She was such a good swimmer, even better than him. It was quite strange that she fell in the water and drowned. Duke was clever and put two and two together. He came to the conclusion that this accident was not an accident at all.

"It's all my fault. Before the accident happened, we had an argument. It was a misunderstanding. I wanted to explain things to her, but there was an emergency at the army base and I didn't get the chance. Maybe because of that she lost her will to live and drowned." Kevin didn't want to hide this from Leena's brother. He was indeed responsible for this and was prepared for Duke's wrath.

"I knew it was your fault! Now that I know you don't cherish her at all, I think it won't be necessary that you continue being married to her! Get out! We can take care of Leena ourselves. You don't have to pretend to care about her anymore," Duke's tone was stone cold. He didn't want Kevin near Leena ever again. His precious little sister didn't deserve to be treated like this.

You can shout at me and you can punch me again. But if you want me to break up with Leena, it's impossible. I will not agree to it, not ever!" Kevin glared back at Duke. If Duke had demanded this when they were newly married, Kevin might have considered it. But now, after living with Leena for so long, he had fallen in love with her without even knowing it. He would never allow anyone to take Leena away from him, not even her own brother.

It's not for you to decide that. Don't forget, Leena is the youngest one in our family," Duke hissed, his gaze harsh. No matter what, he would not budge this time.

Don't you forget that Leena is my wife now," Kevin retorted. He wouldn't get backed into a corner either. He had let Duke punch him because he knew he deserved it, but that didn't mean that he would compromise on everything. He was not a Major General for no reason.

"All right, all right. That's enough, you two! Don't you see that Leena is still lying here? You are arguing about something that the two of you don't even have the right to decide! You should know that is Leena's choice." Belinda couldn't help but roll her eyes at them. They were such fools. It was ultimately Leena's decision if she wanted to stay with Kevin or not. Why couldn't they understand such a simple thing?

"Humph!" Duke's eyes did not move from Kevin. He still could not forgive Kevin. Kevin, in turn, stared back defiantly. It seemed that the feud that had always been between them rose again.

"Tom, could you please find a good obstetrician for me? I want to get a check-up done," A deep blush appeared on Belinda's face as she said this. Now that Tom had guessed that she might be pregnant, there was no need to hide it anymore. After all, Tom was their close friend.

"No problem. Do you want to see the obstetrician right now?" Tom looked at his watch. It was almost eight o'clock in the morning. The doctors should be here.
