"Really? I can eat whatever I want? Then let''s have spicy hot pot!" Patricia suggested with a sly smile, leaving Tom behind for the moment. She wanted to see whether Leena would agree with her.


    "No, you can''t! You are injured. The spicy food will work against your body''s recovery. We should grab some light food instead," retorted Leena at once. She knew that Patricia was just cracking a joke with her. However, she still couldn''t help but worry about her friend. "Didn''t you say that you would buy me whatever I want to eat? How can you just take your words back?" Patricia pursed her lips. She shouldn''t have trusted Leena''s words.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Well, I am taking my words back. What are you going to do with me then?" Leena said with a teasing smile. She was not even ashamed of taking her words back at all. She was confident about their friendship and she was sure that Patricia would not get angry with trivial matters.


    "I guess I have to live in your house for a couple of days again. Otherwise, my parents will forbid me to take part in thepetition once they see my wounds," Patricia said with a frown.


    "No problem! You are always wee to our home. By the way, how did you hurt yourself?" asked Leena confusedly as she opened the car door for her.


    "I got distracted while driving and forgot to slow down when I made a turn. Then my car turned over and I got hurt." Luckily, the car had just started and the speed wasn''t that fast. Otherwise, she could have been seriously hurt. "What? Are you out of your mind, Patricia Bai? How did you dare be distracted on the track?" Leena was horrified about what her friend said and unconsciously spun the steering wheel sharply.


    "Hey, calm down! Focus on driving! I just survived the race. I don''t want to get killed by you like this!" screamed Patricia, who was taken aback by Leena''s unexpected move. She was certain that Leena''s sworn brothers would dig up her grave to whip her body if they died in an ident.


    "Sorry! I forgot I''m driving." replied Leena frightenedly with her face as pale as death. It was a good thing that there were only a few cars on the road right now, or else, they would have had a car ident.


    "See! You also got distracted while driving. Thus, stop ming me for it!" Patricia stared out the window. She realized that they were heading to The Fragrance based on their route. ''Oh no! I know that I must eat light food recently but I really don''t like the dishes there!'' she thought.


    "Got it." Leena didn''t dare to be distracted again and chose to concentrate on driving.


    As usual, all seats in The Fragrance were upied. The restaurant owed its fame to its smart owner and its first-rate team of employees.


    "Leena, why didn''t you ask me about why I went to Renxin Hospital to be treated?" questioned Patricia. Curiosity was eating her as she knew that Leena was the type of person who liked getting to the bottom of the matter. Leena just couldn''t be cool with it, right? Or could she?


    "You told me not to talk about Tom before you, or else, you will be breaking up with me. Did you forget what you said?" Pursing her lips, Leena didn''t understand why Patricia suddenly took back her words either.


    "Ha! You''ve taken my words seriously? I was just kidding. You are so silly!" Patricia couldn''t help butugh out loud. She had long forgotten those words and she didn''t expect Leena to still remember them. "Ohe on! You were serious when you said those that day. Are you telling me that you went to see Tom just now?" Leena leaned closer to Patricia as she was eager to hear her friend''s answer. "Umh... What if I tell you that I have a thing for Tom? What do you think about it?" asked Patricia as she looked Leena''s cute face hesitantly. She wanted to know if her best friend would be against the idea.


    "But you don''t like doctors, right?" Surprised, Leena straightened her back and stared back at her friend. It was well known to her that Patricia hated doctors thus she thought, ''She can''t be damn serious about this. She must be kidding me!''


    "I do hate doctors. Nheless, he is the only exception. I thought that I could shake him off my mind at first as long as I stayed away from him. I was wrong. I can''t forget him no matter how hard I have tried. I even miss him more. I even forgot about my principles because of him. Leena, isn''t it what''s called fate?"


    A bitter smile cracked Patricia''s lips. Never had she kept any secret from Leena. She had to speak out her bitterness even if Leena made fun of her. She should, or else, she would eventually go crazy sooner orter.


    "So you just went to Tom, right?" asked Leena with utmost care. It was only just now that she realized how sad and dejected Patricia had been looking like when she arrived at the hospital.


    "Yes, I did. I even forced him to bind up my wounds against his will. Am I a shameless woman?" Patricia told the story in a self-disapproving manner.


    "No, you are not. You are different and courageous to pursue your happiness. I really admire you." It was said that winning a woman''s heart was difficult for a man, while the opposite was easy. However, Leena knew that it wasn''t really the case. She had so many female friends who had encountered difficulties in pursuing their true love, not to mention that she was also one of them.


    "Thank you for not making fun of me." Poor Patricia disguised her sorrow with a cheerful smile. As Leena said, she was indeed a courageous woman. She was not the type of person who would hold back even if the path to happiness was covered with thorns. Rather, she would move forward boldly as all that mattered to her was to be happy.
