It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1381

"Don't worry. Take it easy. You're gonna be okay sooner or later. What about the scars on your face? Did Tom say something about it?" Leena looked at the dried up wounds on Patricia's face. Though the wounds were not very deep, they would leave permanent scars if they were not properly treated. She wondered why Tom hadn't applied the special scar eliminating gel on her face. Was that jerk doing it on purpose, still hating on Patricia?

"Do you think I'm ugly with the scars?" Patricia asked, stroking the scars on her face.

"No, I don't. But they remind me of that accident," Leena said honestly. She regretted having asked Patricia the question. After all, Patricia was a woman, and it was a huge deal for women when it came to anything about their looks.

"Ha! Don't worry about me. I believe I look cool with the scars," Patricia said with a smile. She lived very freely, refusing to give in to the pressure of modern society on women when it came to beauty.

"Good girl! You are so cool that no men dare to get close to you." Leena rolled her eyes at Patricia. She had never seen a woman who didn't care about her face at all.

"Hey, woman! Was that a back handed compliment? Does Major General Gu know you are actually a mean woman?" Patricia retorted at once.

"Really? I'm a mean woman?" Leena asked in reply while casting Patricia a reproachful glance. 'I'm not mean at all. I was telling the truth. Does she really think that it's cool to have scars on her face?' she thought to herself.

The two spent a few more hours catching up until it was time for Leena to leave. After bidding goodbye to Patricia, Leena went straight to Tom's office. She pushed the door open without knocking, in attempt to surprise him. But to her disappointment, Tom was not in his office. She entered the room, looked around and sat casually on the sofa. He must be making the rounds of the wards, so she decided to wait for him. She picked up a magazine to keep herself busy.

But she didn't expect herself to wait for such a long time that she fell asleep on the sofa. When Tom came back and saw Leena asleep, he signaled his colleague to keep quiet. Then they left the room and Tom closed the door quietly behind him. They went to a balcony on the third floor of the hospital together.

"Hey, you can tell me now. What do you want to say?" Tom put his hands on the railing, and instead of staring at his colleague, he looked into the distance.

"Mr. Qin, shall we make a new rehabilitation plan for Miss Bai? I don't think the current program is working well," said the doctor with utmost care, not to upset Tom.

"You are the doctor in charge of her rehabilitation. If you think that it is time to change the program, you have every right to make a new one. You may use any plan that you think is proper. No need to ask me for approval," Tom said with a frown. He usually got more excited whenever Patricia was involved.

"Uhh..." Tom's reply came as a shock to the doctor, and he didn't know how to respond. 'Isn't Miss Bai special to him? If she isn't, then why has he attached great importance to her rehabilitation progress? Maybe my assumptions were wrong?' he asked himself.
