It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1366 I Was Just Passing By (Part Two)

person, but at the same time, remember everyone else? She was puzzled. What kind of magic was that?

"I guess he was just upset about something. He was just lurking out there." Michelle studied Patricia's face but failed to replace any clues regarding her feelings toward Tom. Michelle couldn't believe what had happened. How could someone happen to selectively forget one "Hey, why are you looking at me? Are you suggesting that I am the one who upset him?" Patricia asserted her innocence. She just woke up last night. She hadn't even had time to catch up with what was happening yet. How could she be the one to upset Tom? "You don't say. He is upset for you, somehow, because you two were in a very twisted relationship. He's been trying to make up for it. Tom hadn't been too kind to you in the past but has been taking such good care of you lately. You don't have to feel obliged to be nice to him, though." Michelle was a fair person. She didn't like to see other people being wronged. She always stayed impartial and never exaggerated or concealed the truth for dramatic effect.

"Well, it sounds like I am the bad guy here. But what am I supposed to do? Love him in return? Come on, I don't even remember who he is. How can I pretend to like him just because he's upset?" Patricia grimaced. She wanted to get her memories back more than anything else, but try as she might, she never succeeded in doing so.

After coming out of Patricia's ward, Leena lingered in the corridor for ages before turning in the direction of Tom's office. She hated the traditional Chinese medicine and would do everything in her power to stall for time. It was only when she couldn't delay it any longer that she knocked on the door of Tom's office. When she heard a soft "come in" from inside, she pushed open the door slowly.

"Tom." Leena scowled as she walked in reluctantly.

"Hi, Leena. I have to take a look at this X-ray to make sure of something. Have a seat. I'll talk to you as soon as I'm finished," Tom said. He held a film in his hand and was watching it intently in the light.

"Okay, take your time," Leena said. She frowned and took a seat on the sofa. As she settled down, her eyes were drawn to an unexpected picture in the newspaper nearby. She couldn't be more familiar with this handsome figure. But why was he shot by the paparazzi and this story published on the entertainment page? He always kept a low profile. This made no sense.

Leena reached for the newspaper. As she read it, she felt even more confused. The article said that Dorothy, the famous movie star, was kidnapped and that Kevin rescued her. Why had she not heard a word from him about this?

"There you go. Medicine for a week. Take it the same way as before. Come to me next week for the new batch." Tom didn't notice Leena's perplexed expression as he handed over the medicine he had wrapped up.

"Ew, the smell makes me sick! Tom, I'm actually very healthy. I don't really need this medicine," Leena said. She hung her head dejectedly and widened her eyes in melancholy. She wished she was in a Hollywood drama and that the medicine would be destroyed in an explosion the very next moment.

"I am the doctor here. I am the one who gets to tell you whether or not you're healthy. Just go home and have your medicine on time. I have other patients to take care of at the moment," Tom said. He was glad that Leena was so focused on the medicine that she had forgotten to ask him about Patricia. He was in no mood to talk about her right now.

"All right. I'd better go home and take the medicine then," Leena said. She hadn't forgotten about Patricia, but Tom seemed so busy. Leena decided to leave him alone.

Tom watched Leena walk out of his office and breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing Leena's character, he had been really worried that the girl would go hard on him. But to his surprise, she just let him go. She didn't ask him a single question about Patricia. Leena left the hospital to go home, but steered in the direction of FX International Group half-way. When she arrived, she saw the most unexpected person at the building gate. Michelle seemed to be looking for someone.

"Michelle? What are you doing here? Are you trying to replace someone?" Leena said with great surprise. She looked in the direction Michelle was gazing at, trying to replace what her friend was looking at.

"Um, hi Leena! Oh, it's nothing. I was just passing by and thought I should stop. It's the famous Edward Mu's company, after all." Truthfully, Michelle was here to look for Luke, but she was not going to confess to it. Last time, she had managed to get Luke's phone number, but when he figured it out, he blocked her. The guy was no fun. It looked like her pursuit would end nowhere.

"I see. Do you want to go upstairs and have a cup of tea? You'd be even closer to the famous Edward Mu up there. I am paying him a visit and can bring you along with me," Leena suggested. Naively, she bought Michelle's words in an instant. There was not a sliver of doubt in her voice.

"But that sounds very inappropriate..." Michelle wanted to decline Leena's offer, but she was intrigued. There was a good chance she would meet Luke inside. Then she remembered his cold attitude toward her and couldn't help but feel a bit downhearted. "Oh, come on! Nothing is inappropriate about it. Come and have a cup of tea with us!" Leena said as she pulled Michelle forward. The guards knew Leena, who was a frequent visitor to FX International. They didn't question her and let them in respectfully. "Leena, what if Luke is with Mr. Mu too?" Michelle asked once they were in the elevator. She was riddled with a guilty conscience. Luke hadn't been friendly with her.

"Luke? I don't know about that. What's wrong if he's there too?" Leena asked, glancing at Michelle.

"Oh, it's nothing! I was just asking," Michelle said in a hurry. Her strange behavior raised suspicion in Leena's mind. Michelle seemed very tense.

"Is that so? Are you sure everything is all right?"

"Of course! Why would I lie to you?"

Michelle averted her eyes, fearing that Leena would guess what was in her heart. She didn't want Leena to know about her feelings towards Luke. They were friends, but not so close yet that they could speak freely about these things. Before long, the elevator reached the top floor and came to a halt. As the door slid open, they saw Luke walking toward them in the corridor. It looked like he was coming straight from Edward's office.

"Hi, Luke, is Edward inside?" Leena greeted Luke, giving him a sweet smile. She didn't notice the subtle change in Michelle's expression.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
