It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1343 Car Accident (Part One)

Although Leena was only gone for half a month, she was seriously homesick. She hit the streets immediately after taking a shower. And she was dressed impeccably, sporting clothing from well-known brands like Givenchy, Gucci, and Balenciaga. She had superb taste. She went to the nearby supermarket to buy some food and various items like toothpaste, lotion, etc. Then she suddenly realized that she had not seen Patricia for quite some time. So she took out her phone and rang her up.

"Hey, about time you remembered me." Patricia was lying in the sofa cozily when she answered the phone. Her voice sounded non-nonsense like always. If you looked at her you could tell she was lonely.

"What? I called as soon as I got back." Leena paused for a minute, turning the wheel to head on to a side street. She was driving while on the phone.

"You're back now?" Patricia sat up. She was really excited. Her best friend was back, and maybe she'd get to spend some time with her.

"My plane landed this morning. And I'm bushed. I think I need to lie down and beat this jet lag." Leena arrived at her apartment and eased her car into the parking space. She frowned at the thought that she would have to carry everything upstairs by herself. The items bought from the store, yeah, that would not be fun.

"Let me guess, you knew that I wanted to hang out. So you shut me down before I could ask!" Patricia had been extremely delighted a few second earlier, but now she was annoyed. She really wanted to see her best friend again, but now she probably had to wait another day.

"It sounds like something's wrong. What's the matter?" Leena frowned deeply. She wanted to ask how Patricia was getting on with Tom. But she didn't want to ask that too soon. 'I need to wait for the right time,' she thought.

"Never mind. We'll talk later. Have a good nap! Bye!" Patricia threw herself back onto the sofa again. She wasn't going to get to see her friend.

"Okay! Call you tomorrow. Bye!" It was not like Leena did not want to meet her friend today, but she still had tons to deal with. Plus, the jet lag was getting to her, and she really needed some rest. Kevin made a point of telling her to take it easy as well. Besides, she could use the downtime. She was drained of energy, and wasn't a good company right now.

Patricia's joy faded, going away as quickly as it came. She said goodbye to Leena with a low voice and hung up listlessly.

Leena felt sorry for her. But she really was unable to spare any time for Patricia. She just came back from Paris and there were things at home that demanded her attention.

She bought too many things, so she had to go out the car twice to bring them all into the house. But she still wouldn't complain about it. Kevin didn't need that right now. Besides, it made her feel like she was making a real contribution to the family. When Leena plopped down on the warm bed and covered herself with the soft quilt, she could not help but sigh with satisfaction. The familiar smells reached her nose and comforted her. It was good to be home. And home was wherever Kevin was.

High velocity was like a drug for some people. They lived for speed and acceleration. That was why Patricia loved it so much when she was flying down a lane. She liked that feeling. It helped her take her mind off her troubles, and just retreat into her own little world. As a professional race car driver, her driving skills were unmatched. However, accidents happened. When she was supposed to take a turn, her mind went blank. She just let things happen naturally, and that was where it all went wrong. The car slammed into the guardrail at top speed. As metal plowed into metal, the sounds of the crash rang in everyone's ears. Patricia's car was thrown around, the damage was too much for her. If she hadn't been in a coma, she would have heard the terrified screams of everyone around her. Michelle was standing in the pit, watching the fateful events unfold. She opened her mouth wide in astonishment. She took out her phone and immediately dialed 120, running towards Patricia. When she saw Patricia's body covered in blood, Michelle lost all her strength. When she was done with emergency services, she called Leena, holding her phone in her shivering hand.

"Hello! Michelle. What's the matter?" Leena had just woken up a couple minutes before. She was going through her closet, picking out an outfit. Michelle didn't usually call her. They were friends, but she was closer to Patricia.

"Le.. Leena, oh God. There's so much blood. I heard Tom is the best doctor in the city. Ask him to help Patricia, please," Michelle said with a shivering voice. She had no idea what to do now. She just stood there, watching the paramedics pull Patricia from the mangled car. She was too scared to even ask if Patricia was still alive. She wasn't sure what she'd do if the answer was no.

"Patricia?! Was she racing?! Where is she now? Did you call an ambulance?" The phone dropped out of Leena's hand and bounced soundlessly on the mattress. She fumbled to pick it up again. She could barely hear, as the chaos rushed in and filled her ears. She kept asking questions until she figured out what Michelle was talking about. She started to panic and had to fight to breathe.

"We are still at the track. I've already called an ambulance." Michelle's voice was cracked and hoarse. Michelle should have been used to sights like this, since she grew up in a complicated environment with violent people all around. But this was different. This time, it was her friend, and she was paralyzed with fear and worry.

"Okay. Tell the ambulance staff to take her to Renxin Hospital. I'll call Tom." Leena hung up immediately after she finished speaking to Michelle and dialed Tom. She almost lost control of her hand because she was frightened out of her wits. It took more than one try before she could summon up his number from her contact list.0000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
