Chapter 1350 An Unhappy Encounter (Part One)


    "I''m really sorry. Please tell me you''re gonna get over what I said. I will make it up to you," Kevin said


    as he walked up to Leena. He pinched her red face, his eyes full of affection.


    "Never mind," Leena grumbled, pursing her lips. She shook off his hand and continued tidying up the


    room.


    "Have you eaten your breakfast?" Kevin asked her. He noticed when he hade back, the breakfast


    on the dining table was still set, just as it had been before. Naturally, he was worried. Leena had


    suffered quite a shockst night.


    "Not yet. I''ll eat soon and then go to the hospital to check on Patricia''s situation," Leena said,


    unperturbed. Kevin heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Leena did not forget about what had happened

    to Patricia.


    "I thought you forgot Patricia''s ident!" Kevin eximed, looking at her with amazement. She looked


    so calm this morning. He thought she would not be able to stand the blow of Patricia''s ident and


    forgot everything. He too began to help her do the room. Leena seemed veryposed.


    "Come on. Patricia is one of my best friends. How could I even forget about her? I''vee around to


    the idea that however sad and dejected I am, she won''t get better anytime soon. So why should I be so


    hard on myself? I have to cheer up." Leena gave Kevin a bitter smile. She had now be more


    mature than she used to be.


    "I''m d you see it that way. You know, you really scared mest night." Leena had crumbled under


    the shocking news of Patricia''s situation. It had startled Kevin. Luckily, Leena seemed to have made


    her peace with it. Otherwise Kevin would not have known how to console her. After all, Patricia was her


    best friend.


    "What else can I do? I can''t just be in low spirits all day and do nothing." Leena had finally realized that


    no matter what happened, life would still go on. She still had to go about her days as usual, even


    though her best friendy unconscious in the ICU. But the lives of Patricia''s well-wishers couldn''te


    to a standstill. They were doing their best to wake her up. It would be devastating if Patricia were


    unable toe out of thea.


    Patriciay in the ICU bed with her eyes closed. She seemed to have no will to wake up. A few


    It had been almost a week since her car ident, but her situation had swung about rmingly. If


    anyone other than Tom had been her attending doctor, they might have given up on her. However, Tom


    had used expensive medicines to make sure that her heart was still beating.


    Tom sighed with profound resignation at the sight of Patricia''s pale face. He had thought he was one of


    the best doctors in the world and that he could treat any patient, but right now, he just felt powerless.


    "Tom, do you think she is in a beautiful dream?" Leena asked in a whisper as she leaned against Tom.


    They stared at Patricia''s immobile face.


    "I guess so. Maybe that''s why she is unwilling to wake up." Tom stroked Leena''s hair. For some


    unountable reason, his heart felt like it was breaking. Every time he saw Patricia lying on the


    hospital bed, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.


    "I wonder what''s in her dream. Is it so good? Even more important than us? Doesn''t she know how


    worried we are?" Leena asked, transfixed as she gazed at her unconscious friend. Her voice choked


    up and her face grew red as tears streaked down her cheeks. She had thought before that she could


    stay calm, but the moment she saw Patricia again, she couldn''t help but cry.


    "I don''t know, Leena." Tom allowed himself a wry smile. He wondered if Patricia had been hurt by his


    harsh words. Maybe he epted her love in her dream; that was why she refused to wake up. In


    reality, he couldn''t be with someone he didn''t love. To be forced to do something was never agreeable


    to him. Tom didn''t want to put himself through such a situation.


    "Does she have to stay inside the ICU all the time?" There were many operating devices in the ICU to


    support Patricia''s life. Leena had seen the devices before when Edward was injured. She still trembled


    in fear at the sight of them.


    "If she gets better, we''ll transfer her to the High Dependency Unit." Not everyone was able to afford to


    stay in the ICU. The expenses incurred were high. Patricia had already been in the ICU for about a


    week. The cost of it was equivalent to what ordinary families earned throughout a year.


    "Tom, may I ask you a question?" Leena turned to look at him, wondering why he hadn''t fallen for a


    beautiful and sincere woman like Patricia.


    "Of course." Tom cast a final nce at Patricia before leaving the room with Leena. On the way to his


    office, he looked at Leena, still waiting for her question.


    "You really don''t like Patricia?" Leena fixed her eyes upon his face, not willing to miss a single


    expression on it. She didn''t want him to hide how he felt.


    "You know I hate being forced to do anything," Tom said with a frown. He didn''t dislike Patricia. She


    was beautiful, funny and too clever by far. He just hated the way she approached him and how she


    pushed him to ept her.


    "So, you dislike how forward she is about her feelings?" Leena asked him again. If so, it would be hard


    for Tom to say yes to being in a rtionship with Patricia.
