She didn't catch the rest of what Sophia said, then Liam's voice came through."My mom woke up. I'll call you back after I settle things on my end.""Okay."Suzy gazed at her phone's dark screen, experiencing inner chaos like never before.Actually, it would've been better if Clive hadn't looked for Suzy and told her all those things because she was already determined to divorce Liam and end their relationship!However, after hearing what Clive told her, she suddenly didn't know how to bring up the topic of divorce with Liam anymore.He had been incredibly attentive to her needs, even in the face of his mother's objections; he remained steadfast and refused to back down. On the other hand, it was always so easy for her to initiate a break-up.Just like Liam had said...Whenever she encountered something, she just wanted to give up completely and draw clear boundaries.She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, every moment spent with Liam replaying in her mind.His tenderness, his tho
Suzy's head throbbed from Wendy's shouting. Just as she was about to explain the situation, Wendy's attention shifted."Did you two sleep together?""Um...""How is he down there? Is it huge?" Wendy blinked, clearly curious.Suzy hadn't expected her to ask that and instinctively froze. "Huh?""What's with the hesitation? I've told you before, I'm curious about how Mr. Park performs in bed. He looks so reserved like he's warning everyone to keep their distance with his handsome face.“Do you think a guy like that might have a hidden side? Maybe he's particularly... proactive when it comes to intimacy?"Proactive...Liam could be considered proactive, right?"Wait a minute! Wendy, I'm talking about something serious here.” How did the conversation suddenly turn to this kind of topic again?Wendy stuck out her tongue and grinned. "I have no other way of finding out, so I have to ask you! But back to the point, if the person you’re being conflicted about turns out to be Mr. Park, I sugg
It was clear that Liam hadn’t given up; even Wendy could see it. Suzy might have been the only one who didn't get it."So, are you saying I shouldn't divorce him?""Of course not! If Mr. Park hasn't brought it up and he's still holding on, why give up?" Wendy patted her shoulder. "I can see it too. Your path together won't be easy, not just because of Mr. Park's mother, but also because of your own mom's reservations. “But since you're together, give it your all. Even if... even if it doesn't work out in the end, you won't regret it when you look back, right?"Suzy pressed her lips together, her voice slightly hoarse."But my mom's illness...""Suzy, you've spent your whole life being responsible, earning money, supporting the family, paying for medical bills. It's time for you to live for yourself!"Suzy blinked, remaining silent for a long while.…When Grace woke up again, the doctor was contemplating putting a sign up in her room to remind others not to agitate her. After anothe
Sophia and William succeeded in lowering Grace's blood pressure and heart rate after much persuasion. Finally, the monitors stopped showing deficits. After she fell asleep, Sophia left the ward. When she looked up, she spotted Liam standing at the corner of the corridor, smoking a cigarette. His tall figure blocked half of the moonlight from the window, casting a long shadow. Sophia sighed and walked towards him."Whether you believe it or not, I genuinely care for Mrs. Park. If you truly don't want to marry me, I won't force you! But you've seen Mrs. Park’s condition. If you were to continue being stubborn, even the doctors can't perform miracles."Liam paused, slightly turning his head to glance at her. "Don't bother trying to convince me.""I know it's futile, so I'm just giving you advice." Sophia continued, "The doctors said your mother can't handle stress, and you don't want to break up with Suzy. The only option left is for me to accompany you and put on a show. We'll pret
The air seemed to freeze in an instant.After waiting several seconds without hearing his voice, Suzy tentatively spoke, "Liam?""I'll come pick you up now." "Okay."After hanging up the phone, Suzy felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders! It was as if suddenly, no obstacle in her path could make her fear or worry.She felt a sudden sense of determination. As long as Liam didn't back down, neither would she.With this decision made, she felt much lighter!Suzy had spent the entire night without sleeping, yet she felt surprisingly energetic. She got up, changed her clothes, and freshened up before applying a bit of makeup.As she stepped out of her bedroom, Wendy was still yawning and stretching, looking disheveled. She stared at Suzy in surprise."Where are you going?" "Liam is coming to pick me up." Wendy stood there, stunned for almost a minute. "So? Have you come to your senses?"Suzy nodded. "Yes, you're right. It's time for me to live for myself. He has give
"What did he say?""He told me everything he knew, but he made it clear that he wasn't advising me to be with you." Suzy knew that as a good friend of Liam's, Clive was probably looking out for Liam's best interests.She had been neglecting Liam's efforts, showing no response or enthusiasm. In Clive's eyes, she was probably not worthy of Liam. He probably thought it was too painful for Liam to be torn between her and his mother."Don't listen to him.""I won’t, but you should be grateful to him. Otherwise, I might still choose to avoid the problem and use divorce to solve our current troubles." She pursed her lips. "Now you can tell me, why did you choose not to tell me and do things silently on your own?"Liam's gaze darkened, and his lips parted slightly."If you had known earlier, you would have definitely kept your distance from me."Suzy froze abruptly.This was something she hadn't expected.Liam actually understood her so well!Yes, as soon as she sensed that a man had feeling
Liam's gaze darkened."I'll find a way to make Mom accept Suzy.”"There's simply no way! Your mother is set on Sophia. Didn't you hear what she said at the hospital?" Liam glanced towards the bedroom. "There must be a way," Liam muttered, though he hadn't figured it out yet.William remained silent on the line for a long while before lowering his voice. "Just now, Sophia pulled me aside and made a suggestion. To stabilize your mother’s condition, she wants to pretend to be in a relationship with you in front of your mother. “I don't want to deceive her, afraid that one day the truth will come out, but if you insist on not breaking up with that Suzy, this is the only way to ease the situation. Think about it."With that, William hung up the phone.Liam stared at the screen of his phone and frowned.Deep down, he knew there was no convincing his mother, and temporary solutions were the only way to handle the current situation. Still, he couldn’t shake off this feeling of imminent di
Liam was still somewhat surprised as he observed Suzy's uncompromising demeanor.He had never seen Suzy so adamant before.At work, although she wouldn’t get close to any of her colleagues, she wouldn’t hold grudges against them, focusing all her thoughts on work.However, thinking about it, it's not hard to understand! After all, considering the circumstances, it wasn't hard to understand! It was normal for her to dislike Sophia."Don't worry, once we can prove she's the culprit, the company will administer appropriate punishment.”"Yeah, I trust you."Suzy didn't want to constantly argue with Liam because of Sophia.After all, there were still many problems she had to deal with today, and Melissa was one of them.…Standing outside the hospital, Suzy looked up at the building, pondering how to break the news to her mother.Grace couldn't accept their relationship while Melissa wasn't in the best of health.After much deliberation, Suzy gritted her teeth and stepped inside.When Suzy
