"Really? I can eat whatever I want? Then let's have spicy hot pot!" Patricia suggested with a sly smile, leaving Tom behind for the moment. She wanted to see whether Leena would agree with her.
"No, you can't! You are injured. The spicy food will work against your body's recovery. We should grab some light food instead," retorted Leena at once. She knew that Patricia was just cracking a joke with her. However, she still couldn't help but worry about her friend.
"Didn't you say that you would buy me whatever I want to eat? How can you just take your words back?" Patricia pursed her lips. She shouldn't have trusted Leena's words.
"Well, I am taking my words back. What are you going to do with me then?" Leena said with a teasing smile. She was not even ashamed of taking her words back at all. She was confident about their friendship and she was sure that Patricia would not get angry with trivial matters.
"I guess I have to live in your house for a couple of days again. Otherwise, my parents will forbid me to take part in the competition once they see my wounds," Patricia said with a frown.
"No problem! You are always welcome to our home. By the way, how did you hurt yourself?" asked Leena confusedly as she opened the car door for her.
"I got distracted while driving and forgot to slow down when I made a turn. Then my car turned over and I got hurt." Luckily, the car had just started and the speed wasn't that fast. Otherwise, she could have been seriously hurt.
"What? Are you out of your mind, Patricia Bai? How did you dare be distracted on the track?" Leena was horrified about what her friend said and unconsciously spun the steering wheel sharply.
"Hey, calm down! Focus on driving! I just survived the race. I don't want to get killed by you like this!" screamed Patricia, who was taken aback by Leena's unexpected move. She was certain that Leena's sworn brothers would dig up her grave to whip her body if they died in an accident.
"Sorry! I forgot I'm driving." replied Leena frightenedly with her face as pale as death. It was a good thing that there were only a few cars on the road right now, or else, they would have had a car accident.
"See! You also got distracted while driving. Thus, stop blaming me for it!" Patricia stared out the window. She realized that they were heading to The Fragrance based on their route. 'Oh no! I know that I must eat light food recently but I really don't like the dishes there!' she thought.
"Got it." Leena didn't dare to be distracted again and chose to concentrate on driving.
