It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1452 Starting School (Part Two)

"Oh! That's excellent! Please tell your mother that I appreciate this a lot. She is so nice to me. And please tell her that I want to treat her to a nice dinner as a thank you gift." Michelle took the letter from Patricia's hand. She had an excited grin on her face. She didn't expect that she could go back to school after all these years. Moreover, she was going to study her passion, drawing! Suddenly she forgot about what had happened with her husband earlier. She finally had something to look forward to.

"Don't mention it. We are really good friends, aren't we? Friends help each other. No need to be so damn polite and distant. However, if you really want to thank her, just treat me to a nice dinner once I get out of the hospital. Well, I am her daughter after all. You treat her or me to dinner, it's the same!" Patricia said with a happy smile. She loved seeing her friend this excited and happy. She knew that it was what Michelle really wanted. Besides, after staying in the boring hospital bed for so long, she missed the delicious food outside the hospital.

"You are aware that you didn't do anything, right? Your mother was the one pulling strings for Michelle. How come you can be so shameless and ask her for dinner?" It was then that Leena's voice butted in. She walked into the room with a large container in her hands. She was amused. Her friends were talking so loud, she could hear their voices from the hallway.

"Leena! You are finally here! Do you know that I would be dead by starvation if you delayed yourself for even a minute? I survived a serious car accident but end up dead because I don't have anything to eat. How ridiculous would that be?" A huge grin appeared on Patricia's face as soon as she saw Leena. She was really glad to see Leena because it meant that food was also here. She didn't eat much last night and she had been practicing to walk all morning. She was so hungry right now that she thought she would faint.

"Stop being so dramatic, will you? Don't you know that cooking takes time? I need time to prepare your food. Besides, who was the one complaining that she was getting fat because I kept feeding her the other day? How come that person suddenly wants my food?" Leena rolled her eyes at Patricia in fake annoyance. It was fortunate for her that she was her best friend. If it were anyone else, Leena would not even give a damn. It was winter and the weather was very cold. Who wouldn't want to stay home and sleep in a warm bed? However, Leena, being the caring and nice friend she was got up early to prepare a delicious meal for her friend in need.

"Yeah, who is she? I surely have no idea! Who could be that shameless with our little princess Leena?" said Patricia as she pretended not to know what Leena was talking about. She had an overly sweet smile on her face as she pleaded with Leena with her puppy eyes. "Stop pretending you don't know who she is talking about! It's you! I can even remember you complaining about getting fatter because of Leena's food." Michelle immediately interrupted. She had a smug smile on her face while saying these words. She liked to tease her friends like this. Furthermore, not being a thug made her life more boring than usual. She needed something to distract herself from thoughts about her husband.

"See! Even Michelle knows about it! Stop pretending you don't know what I mean." Leena raised one of her eyebrows at Patricia smugly. There was a smile on her face. However, Patricia didn't know why she had a feeling that the smile didn't reach Leena's eyes. It seemed that she was hiding something from her friends.

"You two! How dare you gang up against me! Don't forget that I am still a fragile patient here!" Seeing her friends' teasing smiles, Patricia quickly pulled up her puppy eyes at them in hopes of them showing mercy at her.

"Ha! Fragile patient? That's funny because I have never seen a patient as lively as you. Just stop with your puppy eyes. You know that they don't affect us." Michelle was sitting on a chair while swinging her legs. She had a smirk on her face as she looked at Patricia with teasing eyes.

"Yeah, I agree with Michelle. Besides, I have never seen a patient who has such a good appetite either," added Leena quickly with a smirk.

"Enough, you two! Are you still my friends or not? Why are you treating me like this?" Patricia whined and puckered up her lips. Her life was never boring with these two beside her. Though she complained a lot, she was indeed very grateful for having them in her life. They loved her and cared about her unconditionally. Thus, she intended to do the same for them.

"Of course we are your friends. In fact, we are your true friends who speak the truth to you. If it were anyone else, we surely wouldn't have given a damn about her." Leena raised her chin up and looked at Patricia with excessive pride. Her skin was really flawless. Her skin still looked fair and dewy even under the dry and harsh winter weather, hence, making others jealous.

"Don't mind her, Leena. She must have gotten insane during her stay in the hospital. That's why she keeps saying those crazy words." Only when she was bantering with her friends like this could Michelle return to her carefree and lively self. She was like this before she got married. However, ever since she got married, she had become dull and sad. It was unfortunate that she couldn't stay with her friends all day. Thus, it was rare for her to forget about the unhappiness in her life and be happy with her friends. .☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
