It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1351

"Yes. It makes me feel like she is intruding on my privacy," Tom said, still frowning. He didn't intend to lie to Leena. He could always be frank with her about his feelings. There was no point in making a secret of what he thought of Patricia.

"Can't you just try to get along with her? Maybe you'll fall in love with her after you truly get to know her," Leena said as hope shone in her eyes.

"Leena, you're a married woman. I believe you know what love is. What if I force you to leave Kevin and fall in love with someone else? It won't be right." It was true that Tom felt something different for Patricia now, but he didn't think it was love. It was a kind of sympathy that a doctor had for his patient.

"I get your point. I'm just finding it hard to accept the possibility that she may never wake up again." What about Patricia's F1 racing? Her championship dreams? How could all of it die because of one single accident?

"Leena, I know. And I am sorry. I'm doing my best to bring her out of this coma. But I can't be with someone I don't love," Tom said. He didn't love Patricia, and that was that. Certainly, he felt bad about the tragedy that had befallen her and hoped she would wake up soon. But after she did, he would not be forced to get into a relationship with her.

"Okay, I get it." Leena gnawed on her lower lip and gave up trying to persuade Tom. He had made himself very clear. She had to respect his choice.

Tom looked at Leena and patted her shoulder. He knew how dejected she must feel right now, but some things couldn't be helped. As Patricia's doctor, he too felt frustrated.

As Leena stepped outside of the hospital, she stared at the people passing by. She had no clue about where to go. Kevin was busy today and would come home late at night, so she had lots of time to kill.

She raised her head and spotted the bakery where she and Belinda had delicious cakes the other day. Leena made her way to it.

The shop seemed deserted. Only a few people occupied the seats. Perhaps, the young couples had chosen other places to go to for their dates. Leena chose a seat by the window.

"Miss, may I take your order? Would you be eating here or is it a takeaway?" a waitress greeted Leena, smiling warmly.

"A cup of latte and an apple pie, please. I'll eat here." Leena gave her a small smile. After Patricia's accident, Leena felt she had become more mature. She was in a different state of mind these days. It was different from the light-hearted girl she used to be.

"Sure. Please wait for a moment. Your order will be served soon." The waitress liked the beautiful and polite customer. It made her feel comfortable. She guessed the lady was well educated.

Leena nodded and looked outside the window blankly. She stared at the crowd along the streets, still lost in her thoughts. Suddenly, her ringing phone brought her back to reality.
