Chapter 1362 Patricia Woke Up (Part Two)


    "Oh yes, you have! Do you have any idea for how long you have slept? For a full freakin'' month!"


    Leena''s eyes reddened thinking of the past month. She buried her head in the crook of Patricia''s neck,


    feeling her alive and breathing in her embrace.


    "What? A whole month? Your''e kidding! I have been in aa for that long? No wonder I feel pain all


    over my body." Patricia raised her hand, though she could not do itpletely. She put it lightly on


    Leena''s shoulder, gently patting her, trying tofort her best friend.


    "Where does it hurt? Tom,e quickly check up on her!" As soon as she heard Patricia''s words,


    Leena immediately raised her head and looked at Tom with worried and pleading eyes. She had almost


    forgotten that Tom was also there in the room.


    "It is normal for her to feel pain. That''s because technically, she is still injured. Her wounds aren''t fully


    healed yet. She just woke up. She did not miraculously get healed all of a sudden. She still has a long


    way to go." Tom waspletely confused right now. Because Patricia seemed to remember everything


    well except for him. She could recognize Leena as if they just saw each other yesterday. What the hell


    was going on?


    "Oh! He is the Tom that you often talk about! No wonder! He kept asking me if I knew him." Then she


    turned to Tom. "See? Now I know your name. Tom!" It suddenly hit Patricia why Tom asked her those


    weird questions earlier. He was Leena''s hotshot doctor brother. But what she seemed to have forgotten


    was that the man in front of her was also the man she deeply loved.


    "What? Are you okay, Patricia? What are you talking about? Don''t you remember him?" Leena''s


    eyebrows knitted into a tight frown. She looked back and forth between Patricia and Tom with a very


    confused look on her face.


    "You mean... we know each other? Or both of you wouldn''t have asked me these strange questions."


    Patricia tried so hard to think when she had met Tom before, but she just couldn''t remember. There


    were no memories in her mind that included this man.


    "Patricia, you are scaring me. Have you forgotten how much you were in love with him before?" Leena


    was so anxious and freaked out that she was about to start crying right now. What happened to


    Patricia''s memory? Of all people, she couldn''t have forgotten about Tom. It would be insane for her to


    forget the man she cared about the most when she could clearly remember everything else.


    "In love? I was in love with him? What the hell, Leena. I don''t like jokes like that! How is it even


    possible? You know me, I won''t ever date some big headed doctor. Nope. Nuh-uh. That just won''t


    happen." Patricia shook her head both in disbelief and in denial. How ridiculous! Why was Leena the


    one losing her mind when she was the one whoy like a vegetable in this hospital bed for a month?


    Patricia couldn''t deny that Tom was handsome. That was true. But he was a doctor. So she just


    wouldn''t be attracted to someone like him. His job justpletely turned her off.


    "How about other things? Do you still remember Michelle?" Leena thought that maybe Patricia hadn''t


    known Tom for a very long time, and that was why she couldn''t remember him when she just woke up.

    But if she couldn''t remember Michelle either, then it would be a serious problem.


    "Of course I remember her! Why are you asking me all this, Leena? Can someone exin to me what''s


    happening here? I am just injured, not brain-damaged!" Patricia protested. Though her tone was harsh,


    her voice was not that loud because she just woke up and still felt very tired.


    "Tom, what is wrong with her? Why doesn''t she remember you? Just you!" Leena looked at Tom with


    tears in her eyes. She didn''t know what to do now.


    "She may have chosen to forget what she wanted to forget the most. Actually, it''s not really that bad for


    her," Tom answered Leena, trying his best to keep his voice even. In fact, he didn''t know what to think


    right now. Clearly the person that Patricia wanted so bad to forget was him. Was he really that mean to


    her? Did he really hurt her that much? He had no answers to the questions in his head. He felt lost all


    of a sudden. He didn''t even notice that his lower jaw was trembling.


    "But what about you?" Everybody could see how Tom cared about Patricia while she was in aa,


    especially Leena. So how could Leena believe that he didn''t have any feelings for her? This was a


    mess.


    "What do you mean? I am totally fine. I even feel quite relieved. This is the best way to get rid of the


    world''s most annoying person. She''s never gonnae here to bother me anymore, right?" Tom


    smiled, but the smile didn''t reach his eyes. He just didn''t want Leena to worry.


    "You are clearly lying. But I will let it go this time. Is her memory loss permanent or not?" Leena should


    be happy that Patricia had forgotten Tom, she really should. Because in this way, Patricia wouldn''t be


    hurt anymore. But she was still sad because Tom had just started having some feelings for her. She


    knew this would hurt Tom. If only there was something she could do so that it didn''t have to happen like


    that.


    "Well, I am not sure about that. Maybe she will never have her memory back, or maybe one day she


    will suddenly remember it all. It''s really hard to say." Tom smiled again, but his smile was bitter and


    forced. He should be happy that Patricia forgot him, right? She wouldn''t bother him anymore. And it


    was something he always wanted, wasn''t it? But why did he feel disappointed and frustrated once


    those words left his mouth? There was a lump in his throat and he looked away.
