It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 1277 Do We Know Each Other (Part One)



"Okay, I will do it now," Claire gently replied, taking the soup from her mother's hands. Then she walked out of the hospital room.

"Alas! What the hell is wrong with Leena? Why hasn't she woken up yet? Does she really have the heart to hurt us like this? It's breaking my heart seeing her in this state." Shannon carefully combed Leena's hair. When Claire told her that her daughter-in-law was indeed a fashion designer, she was a bit shocked. She didn't expect a girl from a wealthy family would make a living on her own. After all, it was common for children from rich families to spend their parents' money. But Leena was an exception. She was intelligent, talented and independent. And it pleasantly surprised Shannon. Her daughter-in-law couldn't get any more perfect.

"Mom, I have to go to the army base this afternoon. So please take good care of Leena for me." In Kevin's heart, he really wanted Leena to wake up, soon, now, if possible. But there was no sign of her waking up, as if she was intentionally making him suffer for what he had done wrong by keeping her eyes closed.

"Of course. What's the matter? Is there something at the army base that you need to deal with?" Shannon would surely take care of Leena. She considered this girl her own daughter. And at the same time, she was also worried about her son's health. He still looked a little too tired for her liking. She really hoped that he could at least get enough rest.

"Yes mom.. It's a bit urgent. So I need to go now. But don't worry. I will be back here as soon as I can." Kevin stared at Leena, who was still sound asleep, feeling a bit helpless about this situation. He really wanted to be by her side at all times, but he had work to attend to. He was slowly getting frustrated. He really loved Leena and this was something that he recently realized. And he was thankful that she was willing to be in love with him, even though he hadn't been treating her right. At the same time, he couldn't help but be mad at her for not believing in him, for punishing him this way. He didn't know what else to do now, except patiently wait.

The sun was beaming down on the whole city on a cold winter day. Patricia got to Renxin Hospital in a hurry. If she hadn't called Leena's number and heard the news from Kevin who answered the phone, she wouldn't have known that an accident had happened to Leena and she was in a coma. She immediately came to the hospital to pay her best friend a visit. Unfortunately, she got lost as soon as she got inside the hospital. She couldn't find the VIP room that Kevin told her about. She was anxious all of a sudden. Luckily, there was a man in a white coat ahead of her.

"Hey! Handsome doctor! Can you please tell me where the VIP rooms are? I think I am lost." Patricia had been going in circles for quite a moment, but she couldn't even find a single person, not to mention a hospital room. Maybe she was in the wrong place? Was this place not the in-patient department? But why wasn't there a single person around? Could this place be the mortuary? Patricia was confused, also a bit scared that she had come to the floor where the dead bodies were stored

But the handsome doctor, who turned out to be Tom, didn't seem to pay attention to Patricia. He continued walking, because he didn't think that the doctor she was calling was indeed him. Though they were in fact in the mortuary as Patricia guessed, there were still a few people around. So he just ignored her and kept walking, not even turning around.

"Hey! Why are you like that? Why are you completely ignoring me! You are so arrogant! Haven't you ever gotten lost at least once in your life?" After these words, Patricia quickly caught up with Tom and grabbed him by his arm. She wanted to know who this arrogant bastard was. She was just asking for directions for God's sake! But he was acting as if she didn't exist. That was unacceptable for a proud girl like Patricia.

"How can I help you?" Tom slightly furrowed his eyebrows at Patricia's behavior. He glanced at the woman in front of him and then stared at the small hand which was still grabbing his arm. It didn't seem like he recognized Patricia at all.

"Hey, it's you! Handsome guy, we meet again! Wait a minute, you are a doctor? How could you be a doctor?" Patricia was glad to meet Tom again this soon. But after only a second, her brows knitted. She found it hard to believe that the handsome man in front of her was indeed a doctor. She was almost speechless. Why did the man she had a crush on turn out to be in this profession? She had been imagining how they would meet again and fall in love for days! But luck was not on her side. Because in fact, she didn't like dating doctors. She had no interest in them.

"Do we know each other? Besides, why can't I be a doctor? Who the hell are you?" Tom was always like this. All he cared about were his patients and experiments. That was why he didn't even recognize Patricia at all. Yes, they had met before. But Tom just didn't make the effort to remember her face. Maybe that was also why he still didn't have a girlfriend.

"Of course! You are a friend of Leena's brother, right? We met each other the other day. I even helped you fix your car! Don't tell me you forgot me so soon." Patricia felt a bit hurt seeing Tom's blank face. He surely didn't remember her. And at the same time, she was also a bit angry at him. Though she wasn't breath-taking, she was still a beautiful woman. How could he just bluntly forget about her? She was frustrated and disappointed all of a sudden. He even promised to take her out for a meal as a thank-you gift for helping him fix his car. Well, maybe he promised her in the heat of the moment.

"Oh! It's you. I'm sorry for not recognizing you. I am really busy recently, so I completely forgot about you. Sorry! Well, are you here to visit Leena? How about this. I will take you to her room. But how did you end up in the motuary in the first place?" Tom finally realized who this girl in front of him was. He was really slow sometimes. He hoped that Patricia didn't think that he intentionally ignored her because he didn't want to treat her to a nice meal like he promised.

"Wait... what? This place is really a mortuary? Oh my God! No wonder I couldn't find my way out of here just now. It must have been the ghosts keeping me in here!" Patricia said while getting even closer to Tom, feeling afraid all of a sudden. Her hand on his arm tightened too. It seemed that she really believed in ghosts.

"Pffft. Please. How old are you? Why do you still believe that there are ghosts in this world? That's nonsense." Tom shook his head helplessly at Patricia. He had planned to go to the mortuary to get some samples but now that he ran into Patricia, he changed his mind. Well, the samples could wait. The most important thing was getting her out of here and into Leena's room.000000
