Chapter 1318 Her Feelings For Him (Part Two)
"But I''m not interested in other doctors. I''ve met you, I trust you. So you''re my only option." A sly smile
cracked on Patricia''s face. Stupid man! Didn''t he see that her hand was bleeding? How could he stay
calm and stand there, doing nothing? Wasn''t he a doctor?! A doctor was supposed to heal the
wounded and save the dying, wasn''t he? So why was he shooing her away?
"Look, I''m super-busy now. Here, let me call up a buddy of mine. He''ll patch you up," Tom said and
picked up the phone, trying to make an internal call to another doctor. Obviously, he did not want to be
Patricia''s doctor.
"Hey! I don''t want another doctor. You wanna watch me bleed to death, that''s fine." Tom didn''t realize
why Patricia was here. Another doctor? No. She didn''t just want her wound to be looked at. If she
wanted that, she''d go to just any other doctor. If that was the case, she wouldn''t have bitten the bullet
and barged into his office.
"That''s not going to happen," Tom said. "The blood would congeal before you bleed out, and.. you''re
threatening me." Tom frowned as it finally dawned on him. Thest thing he wanted to see as a doctor
was someone who didn''t value her own life. Most people wanted to be healthy. A doctor was
responsible for keeping people healthy. He could be held liable if he turned her away and something
happened.

"Yeah. So don''t try me! My wound could be infected, and I could die from that, huh?" Patricia bit her lip.
She didn''t want to force him, either. But his face, voice, and smile shed through her head from time
to time now. She just couldn''t get him out of her head. Patricia wanted nothing more than to figure out
why she always thought of him.
"So whye to me, and not someone else?" Tom was gray-faced now. He was still frowning, not
because of her bleeding wound, but because it was starting to drip onto the floor now. And rug cleaning
was not cheap.
"I dunno. They seem to trust you, but I''m still not sure I can. " This was the first time Patricia went this
far for any man. But now she''d figure out, atst, if Tom liked her back.
"Fine. You win. I''ll treat you. You''re Leena''s friend, so I guess," Tom said, clenching his jaw. Actually, he
was kind of shocked by her persistence. But he put it out of his head. He wasn''t going to think about
that now.
"Whatever. Let''s do this." A bitter smile spread across Patricia''s face. She rued the day she got out of
the car with Leena. It was love at first sight, at least as far as she was concerned. She dismissed it,
thought that she''d be able to stop thinking of him. But she failed. She just couldn''t forget him, still had
feelings for him. So she decided to do something about it. She wanted him to remember her, and
wanted to know if he felt the same. She got her exam, and she intended to get her answers from his
heart.
"Take off your coat, please." Tom still remained stoney-faced. He wore the medical gloves and
prepared to treat her wound. Just like he said, he did this thanks to Leena. Maybe he could leave
Patricia alone, bleeding. But he wouldn''t do this because it would hurt Leena''s feelings, and he didn''t
want that. So he took out the gauze and the anti-bacterial cream and went to work.
"Can you help me with the coat? I don''t want to take my hand off the wound." When she did, she found
the blood welled up and dripped. It kind of freaked her out. Patricia''s face paled. She just did some
simple field dressing at the racing track. So the wound kept bleeding. Obviously, it wasn''t as minor as
she first thought.
"Well. I can cut around the jacket and the sleeve. In order to treat you, I need to get at that wound,"
Tom said in an angry tone. He was usually gentle. But now he was totally beside himself and was
extremely angry. Patricia apparently had a gift for pissing people off.
"If that''s the only way, I''m good with that." It was just a coat. She did not care about it that much. She
could buy another new coat as soon as she had the money. But she was deeply hurt now. So Tom
didn''t like her? She liked him from the very beginning. But all he was doing was giving her the cold
shoulder. The more he pulled away, the more she wanted to be closer to him. What was wrong with
her?
Tom was very upset at Patricia''s arrogance. He clenched his fists to calm himself down and suppress
his rage. He was afraid that there might be an medical malpractice suitter if he could not control
himself well enough.
"The wound is deep and I''m afraid we''ll need to stitch that up. I''d also get a general checkup to make
sure there aren''t any further injuries." Tom did not realize that she was such a mess until now. The
injuries were consistent with a crash, so he figured he''d offer some free medical advice. She could be
suffering from soft tissue damage, and there might be internal bleeding or some such that might not be
immediately obvious.
"I''ll do that, but can you do the exam? I''d rather not have to answer questions all over again." Patricia
looked at him carefully. She was trying to be coy, but it was getting harder. She preferred to be blunt.
Now that she had stopped running away from her feelings, she was going to get close to him, no matter
how she had to do it.
"Miss Bai, I think I need to remind you that you are nobody to me. I''m doing this as a favor for Leena,
nothing more. After this, we''re done here." Tom was getting angrier and angrier. As he was still dealing
with her wound, he was a bit rougher than he had nned to. It was like he didn''t know he was hurting
her. But still she clenched her jaw and refused to cry out.
"What? Did I make you angry?" Patricia smiled carelessly. Though he disliked her so much, she still
managed to give out a brightest smile that she could. .
