Chapter 1429 Even Death Can''t Part Us (Part One)
"Hey, where are you going?" Summer asked in curiosity. It was freezing outside. He wondered why
Leena and Patricia wanted to step out instead of staying inside the warm ward.
"We''re going to bask in the sun in the garden. What does it have to do with you?!" Patricia blurted out.
She was clearly a bit pissed off with him.
"Are you sure you want to bask in the sun on such a cloudy day? You might get wet instead," Summer
said ironically. He looked at the sky from the window. It was damp and cold outside and it was probably
going to rain. What the hell were these two women up to?

"That''s none of your concern! Leena, let''s go. Don''t waste your breath talking to him!" Patricia pulled at
Leena''s arm as she rolled her eyes at Summer.
"Hey! Why are you getting so pissed off? This is not like you at all!" Summer stooped down to rest his
hands on Patricia''s shoulders. He stared at her teasingly. Just then, Tom entered the ce. From his
angle, it looked like Summer was kissing Patricia.
"What are you doing?!" Tom interrupted them all of a sudden. His icy re could have frozen ake.
Patricia couldn''t help but shiver at his tone.
"Tom, you are here!" Leena greeted him with a smile. She had nned to visit himter on, but here he
was, in front of him. She hadn''t expected him toe.
"Hi, Leena. Come to my office in some time," Tom said to Leena, but his eyes were still fixed on
Patricia. He was still waiting for her answer to his question. She must exin herself!
"Tom, how did you find time toe here today?" Patricia asked him eagerly. She was so excited to
see Tom that she didn''t notice he was about to lose control. He misunderstood what he saw.
"Why? You''re upset you''ve been caught red-handed, is that it?" Tom taunted her while casting a
contemptuous nce at Summer. He seemed to be a handsome man but also somewhat flighty.
Patricia needed someone more mature and subdued.
"What? What is that supposed to mean? You''re confusing me. Caught red-handed? Do you mean you
know we''re going to the garden?" Patricia asked, clearly puzzled. What was Tom so furious about?
"Really? That''s your exnation? Never mind. You can do whatever you like. I simply don''t care." Tom
looked back and forth between Patricia and Summer. He shed them a mocking smile and left briskly.
"Leena, what''s wrong with him? I have no idea what just happened," Patricia asked, looking utterly
bewildered. Why was Tom behaving like this? It was making her nervous.
"I''m assuming he misunderstood something," Leena said, pursing her lips in amusement.
"I think he misunderstood our rtionship. He is jealous," Summer said with a frown. He had no idea
what was up between the doctor and Patricia, but his instincts told him that the doctor had reacted to
him with hostility.
"Haha! You must be kidding me. It is impossible he would be jealous of seeing me with another man,"
Patricia said, amused. But deep down, she pondered on Summer''s words. ''Really? Was Tom jealous of
seeing me with Summer? Does that mean he loves me?'' A number of questions flooded her
immediately. She wanted to know the answers to them at once.
"Summer, why don''t you stay with Patricia for a while? I''ll go to Tom''s office to see what''s going on,"
Leena said and bit her lower lip. She was distracted. Her mind lingered on the reason why Tom had
asked her toe to his office.
"Oh, all right. Rest assured. I''ll take good care of her," Summer said cheerfully. His work had been so
grueling that he seldom had time to visit Patricia, even though they lived in the same city. He was
always hustling and grinding. As a result, he knew nothing about what was up between Tom and her.
Leena gave Patricia an apologetic look before she proceeded to Tom''s office. She took a deep breath
at the door and told herself that everything was going to be fine.
"Tom, are you really so angry?" Leena asked him as soon as she entered the office. She gave Tom a
cunning smile.
"No. Why should I be angry? Come, sit down. Let me make you a cup of coffee." Tom acted
indifferently in front of Leena. He would never admit how his temper had risen earlier, when he had
seen Patricia kiss Summer. Tom tried his best to keep himself in check.
"I was just wondering if you misunderstood what happened." Leena sat next to Tom on the couch, still
smiling slyly.
"Don''t talk nonsense. I didn''t misunderstand anything," Tom snapped. His lips thinned grimly. He was
too proud to admit that he had indeed been jealous of the other man. She was probably right — he had
misunderstood what was going on between them. After all, Leena had been there as well; they couldn''t
have kissed each other in front of her. He cared about Patricia so much that he really lost his cool
sometimes. He lost sight of clear judgement when it came to her.
"Oh, really? So what was that back there? Why did your anger hit the roof?" Leena asked him with a
"It was just that I was in a bad mood." To cover up his embarrassment, Tom held his fist against his
mouth and coughed shortly.
"That''s a very poor excuse," Leena grumbled and pursed her lips. She decided to let it go. Tom was not
ready to admit to his feelings.
"Who''s that man?" Finally, Tom couldn''t help but blurt out.
"Which man?" Leena pretended to be clueless, like she didn''t know who he was asking about.
"The man who was with you and Patricia. Don''t y around with me, you naughty girl," Tom said as he
pinched her cheeks.
"I thought you didn''t care about that," Leena teased him.
"I don''t care. I am just curious," Tom mumbled, a little embarrassed. The color on his cheeks
heightened a bit.
"Okay. He is Summer Xia, Patricia''s senior at university. He has excellent manners and was brilliant at
academic performance. Also, he''s so handsome. He used to be very popr at university, you know.
He even won the de of Mr. University," Leena said before she sighed in admiration. She
continued to tease Tom. She wanted to see how he would react.
