"Wouldn't she be even more devastated if she suddenly remembers it one day? And by that time you have moved on?" Leena asked worriedly. She didn't mind Patricia listening to them talking about her. She had no idea anyway.
"Hey! What the hell are you two talking about? I'm starting to feel out of place here. Hellooo..." Patricia looked between them with suspicious eyes. Though she couldn't understand what they were saying, she felt that whatever they were talking about definitely had something to do with her.
"That's all right. But you don't have to understand everything just yet." Leena glanced at her, eyes full of complicated emotions. Why the hell did she have to forget about the man that she was head over heels crazy for just a month ago? Was she really so hurt that she wanted to forget about Tom once and for all?
Tom let out a silent sigh. As a doctor, it was not the first time that he encountered a situation like this. Nothing shocking here. But it was the first time that something like this happened to him on a personal level. What he really worried about was what he would do if Patricia did forget about him for good. As soon as this thought came up in his mind, he froze. What was happening to him? Did he really fall in love with this woman in such a short time? No. He should probably stop thinking about it. He had to nip this in the bud.
Besides Leena, Patricia's parents were also the ones who were the happiest about her waking up. They were very grateful to Tom. They thought that he would be the biggest reason why Patricia would wake up.
Michelle received the news about Patricia the next day.
ired. And his eyes also lost their usual shine. He looked quite sad and depleted.
"Doctor Qin, when can I get out of this plaster cast? It is really inconvenient for me." Patricia looked at Tom expectantly, addressing him formally as she would do to any stranger.
"Well, you will have to live with it a bit longer. Do you feel any pain?" Tom tapped on the cast. Though the operation was successful, he still couldn't guarantee if her leg would fully heal. Nobody could tell the result, until after some x-rays or even an MRI.
"Ow! It hurts." Patricia furrowed her eyebrows in pain. There was not a part of her body that didn't hurt. She was really badly injured so naturally, it felt like that everywhere.
"That's a good sign. Take your medicine on time and don't eat anything too heavy, especially solid food in case you upset your stomach. Stick to eating baby food for now." Tom's face was blank, as if he was talking to a complete stranger. He had thought a lot when he got back home last night. It seemed that he had his emotions under control now. At least on the surface.
