"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 d

  he should, or else, she would eventually go crazy sooner or later.

  "So you just went to Tom, right?" asked Leena with utmost care. It was only just now that she realized how sad and dejected Patricia had been looking like when she arrived at the hospital.

  "Yes, I did. I even forced him to bind up my wounds against his will. Am I a shameless woman?" Patricia told the story in a self-disapproving manner.

  "No, you are not. You are different and courageous to pursue your happiness. I really admire you." It was said that winning a woman's heart was difficult for a man, while the opposite was easy. However, Leena knew that it wasn't really the case. She had so many female friends who had encountered difficulties in pursuing their true love, not to mention that she was also one of them.

  "Thank you for not making fun of me." Poor Patricia disguised her sorrow with a cheerful smile. As Leena said, she was indeed a courageous woman. She was not the type of person who would hold back even if the path to happiness was covered with thorns. Rather, she would move forward boldly as all that mattered to her was to be happy.
