"What are you going to do? Are you deaf? Get out of my room!" Patricia yelled loudly as she tried to reach for even more things to throw. She didn't see who was approaching as she was staring blankly at nowhere. She looked very frightening right now as she moved madly on her bed. However, Tom didn't care.

  "Patricia, what do you think you are doing? Do you think that this is helping your recovery?" Tom rushed to her as he spoke. She was holding a flower vase now and he was afraid that she might hurt herself with it. He suddenly got no sense of danger for himself. All he wanted was to protect her when he suddenly stepped on something that was splattered on the floor and he began staggering. Goodness! He almost fell on his face.

  "You are not the one who can't stand! If you put yourself into my shoes, you would know how I feel," Patricia continued to scream. Seconds more and she began to beat her leg as hard as she could. "God! Why couldn't I feel a thing? Why? Why!" Seeing Patricia losing it scared Tom to death. Thus, he quickly reached for her hands and stopped her at once.

  "Can you please calm down? The rehabilitation is slowly working. You will be able to stand in the future," Tom assured her. Honestly, he also hoped for her to stand as soon as possible. However, as a doctor, he knew it would take a long time for her to recover. The process of rehabilitation was long and boring and it demanded patience from Patricia.

  "In the future? When? When I'm already a granny?" roared Patricia at Tom. Her eyes were beaming with anger.

  "You won't be able to stand till the end of your life if you keep acting like this!" Tom thundered back. He was too

  molding to hers.

  Tom stopped and retreated just in time she thought she would suffocate. He licked his lips unconsciously which made her swallow. She felt a sudden impulse to kiss him again.

  "You…… I……" Patricia stammered as she was still in shock.

  "If you ever try to piss me off again, I'll punish you this way. So look before you leap," said Tom with a sly smile. He felt much relaxed now as he just made up his mind to court Patricia. Yes, she had forgotten about him. So what? He could make her fall for him once again. Oddly, he felt as if a heavy weight just got lifted from his chest. There was this type of warmth that filled him and for some reason, made him happy.

  "Uh…… Tom, are you going nuts?" Though Leena and Michelle had kept telling her that she loved Tom, Patricia had always doubted that since Tom had been treating her in a cold way. If Tom was really her boyfriend, why was he so indifferent towards her? However, he just kissed her and she couldn't deny the impact of that kiss. Patricia was now a little more convinced that Leena and Michelle might have been telling the truth.
