"Yes I will. Thank you, doctor!" Patricia really considered him only as her doctor. It seemed that she really had completely forgotten about Tom and her feelings for him, or she wouldn't have been this calm around him.
Michelle looked at the scene in front of her with a confused look on her face. She didn't know that Patricia had lost a part of her memory because nobody told her. That was why she felt strange when she heard how Tom and Patricia spoke to each other.
"You are welcome. I have to go and check up on other patients right now," Tom rushed these words out and quickly left the room without even looking back, as if he was running away from something. His lonely back indicated that he was not as calm as he seemed. He was, in fact, a bit devastated.
"Patricia, what happened between Doctor Qin and you? Why did you talk to each other like that?" Michelle watched Tom leave the room, and then turned around to face Patricia. She was very curious.
"What do you mean? Talk to each other like how? Isn't he always like that?" Patricia leaned back on her pillow and looked at Michelle with a strange look on her face.
"Um. I thought you were in love with him? But why are you acting so cold and indifferent towards him?" Michelle knew that she shouldn't bring up the sad truth to Patricia when she just woke up. It was not the right time to talk about this. But she just couldn't help it. She was really very confused.
"I was in love with him? I don't know why you and Leena keep telling me this, but I really don't have any memory of ever being in love with him! And, may I say this again? He's a freakin' doctor! I hate doctors!" If Leena was the only one who told her that she was in love with a certain doctor, she would have considered it a joke. But now, Michelle was telling her the same thing, and it made Patricia think that maybe they were really saying the truth. She suddenly became serious.
