It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1333 That Was Not Really Love (Part Three)

"I can only say that you are thinking too much. Patricia, keep your hands off me. If possible, stay away from me. Don't expect that you will get anything from this because I won't give you anything. If you were not Leena's friend, I won't waste time even talking to you." The "Tom, am I really so despicable to you?" Patricia bit her lower lip. Even though he said such ruthless words, she still kept her chin up, as proud as she had been all this time. She wouldn't waste a tear or give him the impression that she was easily defeated. "You are not despicable, but what you do makes me feel sick." Tom didn't know why he would have such a feeling. The more she got close to him, the more he felt resistant, even to the extent of exasperation.

words that gushed out from his mouth were as cold as if they were coming from hell that had frozen over. Patricia felt a shiver down her spine.

"Haha! Okay, I hear you. Say no more Doctor Qin, and take care. I hope we never run into each other again." Patrica looked up at the ceiling, trying to hold back her tears. Then she smiled, as if nothing had happened. The bright smile on her face could make one think that she never seriously cared about anything.

"Good. And I agree. I hope we never see each other again." After saying this, Tom was surprised that he wasn't completely happy about this. He was supposed to be celebrating in his heart now that this crazy annoying girl decided to leave him alone. Instead, he felt his heart get stung by something. He fell into a despondent mood as if he lost something valuable.

Patricia watched him until he disappeared from sight. As soon as he turned the corner, tears streamed down her face and messed up her makeup. She had already compromised her dignity in the hope that he could see the vulnerability in her heart. But what she got in return was only ridicule and more hate. Did he really have no feelings or even respect for her? She wondered.

If time stopped in this moment, could her heart stop bleeding as well? She was so devastated that she couldn't even breathe. She felt that her heart was broken into a million pieces.

"Miss Patricia, are you okay?" Seeing Patricia collapse to the ground, Manager Cheng rushed out from his office to see what was happening to her.

"Manager Cheng, I want to be alone in the office for a while, is it okay?" Patricia stood up and staggered towards her mom's office. She didn't care how Manager Cheng would think of her.

"Of course. Can I get you anything? Do you want some water or coffee?" Manager Cheng followed her and reached out his hands to support her, in case she stumbled and fell again. She seemed very weak.

"Thanks. I only want to be alone for now." Patricia pushed the office door open and threw herself onto the sofa. While she held back all emotions in front of Manager Cheng, now that she was alone, she let it all go, tears rushing out like a flood, making the pain take over her entire body. Tears blurred her eyes, and the pain stabbed her fragile heart. This might be the only time in her life that she cried like this. Even when she got injured in the competition, she had never experienced this much pain. A physical wound could heal quickly, but a broken heart would be almost impossible to piece together.

Manager Cheng was very worried about her but as she expressed her desire to be left alone, he let her be. He quietly closed the door and stayed outside to keep watch in case she needed something, hoping that she would rebound from it soon.

Tom raced back to the hospital. Feeling at a loss, he was absent-minded all afternoon. He always found himself in a trance, gazing at something but thinking about something else.

"Rain, how about we have a drink tonight?" It was the first time that Tom asked anyone out to drink. He needed to calm himself. After his encounter with Patricia, he had become troubled and restless.

"Have a drink?! Tom, are you alright? Did I hear correct? It seems like the sun came out from the west today! Where is this urge to go drinking tonight coming from?" Leaning back in the sofa, Rain teased in a lazy tone. If his memory served him right, Tom had never taken the first move to invite anyone to have a drink.

"Cut the crap. Just tell me if you'll go or not!" Tom was impatient. He was just asking him to join him for a drink, why was he such a blabbermouth?

"Fine, fine, fine! Tell me. Where do you want to go? I'd love to go to drink with you." Rain stood up from the sofa and walked to the window. Looking down at the busy street, he had no reason to refuse his friend. He was alone anyway, and here came Tom with an offer for a fun night.

"You decide the place. I'm not familiar with any places of entertainment. You're the expert at that." Tom closed the report he had been reading the whole afternoon. Unlike Rain who was a business man and had frequently been to nightclubs and other entertainment venues, Tom rarely went to such places.

"What would be better than our old watering hole? We are already familiar with it and we know the people there," Rain said casually. Since Edward and Duke had their own families, they seldom got together like they did before.

"Okay, good idea. We'll go to Sexy World and let's get hammered." Tom seemed ready to go all out for a binge. He smiled bitterly. It should have been a victory to have gotten rid of Patricia. But he didn't know why he felt at a loss. He felt anxious as if something was missing, and he didn't know what.

"Really? Get hammered? Are you serious? I can't believe that this remark came out from your mouth. Come on, buddy, what happened to you? Were you beaten up by someone or did some girl turn you down?" Rain teased. He knew Tom was not the kind of guy who would feel down because of woman. He had never seen him attracted by any woman for that matter. Tom was just an unusual person, very different from the others. He seemed to have no worldly desires. The only relationship he had was with his lab. Nothing else could captivate him.0000
