"Alright.”She wasn’t worried about having no place to return tomorrow night.After giving his instructions, Liam went to take a shower. Suzy lay on the bed, taking a deep breath.Should she... maybe look for a place in advance? That way, if she got kicked out, she wouldn't end up on the streets....That night, Suzy tossed and turned, only falling asleep as dawn approached.When she woke up, there was no one beside her, only the breakfast prepared in the dining room and the familiar note.She sat down to eat while contacting Wendy."My friend is currently not in the country, what should I do?""...Can I hire someone with money?"It seemed like the only option now!"What time are you going to the hospital to see Mrs. Chase?"Suzy thought for a moment. "After work, maybe around 5 o'clock.""Then wait for my message. I'll try to find someone who can pass off as your husband. If that doesn't work... you can talk to Mrs. Chase and see if she can wait for a couple more days. My friend will
Suzy obviously hadn't thought that much and was momentarily stunned upon hearing this."Just call me Jeffrey, that's what my family calls me."She nodded, feeling somewhat awkward, but in the current situation, what else was there to pick on? Getting someone to appease her mother was all that mattered! She needed to coax her into completing the surgery.After getting into Jeffrey's car, Suzy realized that he was indeed well-prepared.There was not only a fruit basket in the back seat but also several boxes of supplements that looked expensive. How much must they have cost?She sneakily took out her phone to check her bank balance.With just a few hundred dollars, she wondered if it would be enough to repay him.Jeffrey followed her gaze and smiled. "Wendy said you're busy with work and probably wouldn't have time to prepare, so I bought some things on the way! I can't meet your mom empty-handed. She won’t believe us.”His thoughtfulness made Suzy feel even more embarrassed. "You've
Suzy and Jeffrey walked together to the entrance of Ward V1. The two bodyguards on either side hesitated upon seeing them, seemingly debating whether to stop them.After all, Jeffrey was someone they had never met before."This is my boyfriend," Suzy said reluctantly, knowing that her mother could hear her from inside.Standing beside her, Jeffrey couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and leaned in to whisper to her, "You don't sound like you're introducing a boyfriend, more like we're about to sit down and discuss a contract in the next second."She thought back to her own words just now and suddenly realized how silly she had sounded. She even chuckled at herself.So, when Melissa saw the two of them for the first time, it was the sight of them exchanging smiles."Mom!"Seeing her mother with a stern expression in the hospital bed, Suzy quickly stopped laughing and walked over, standing by the bedside, trying to keep some distance between Jeffrey and her mother.Because she
The script deviated too much from the original plan, causing Suzy's heart to beat faster with anxiety!Where would Jeffrey find two people to play his parents? And if this play continued, with her mother continuing to make things difficult, wouldn't it turn into a full-fledged soap opera?Seeing him turn to leave the hospital room to make a phone call, Suzy furrowed her delicate brows. "Mom, this is going too far! His parents also have jobs, they can't just drop everything and come here, can they?""He was the one who said it. His parents really wanted to meet me, so I agreed. What's wrong with that?"Melissa had considered numerous ways to confirm if her daughter had genuinely married or simply entered a sugar daddy relationship.Suzy was in a difficult position at the moment. She glanced at the door."I'll check how he's talking to his parents. If it's not convenient, could you please not give him a hard time? Perhaps we can schedule it for another day when they can be more prepared.
Liam was coming?! Suzy almost dropped her phone and immediately stood up from her chair.This surprised Melissa. “What’s wrong again?""It's nothing, just a message from the company asking me to send some data. I need to make a quick call."She didn't even have time to exchange glances with Jeffrey and hurriedly left the room.Liam couldn't come now! They had just managed to cover up the lie, and if he showed up, who knew how the situation would turn out.Today was Sophia's birthday, wasn't it? Why did he have time to come to the hospital...?Suzy frantically tried calling Liam, but her phone rang without anyone answering!She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, sending him several WhatsApp messages."Don't come now! Whatever it is, wait for me to get back.""My mom is in an unstable emotional state right now. Please, don't come!"But there was no response to these messages either. Liam seemed to have disappeared out of nowhere!Suzy waited at the hospital entrance for ano
"It's because of her that this happened to Liam!" If it weren't for Clive holding her back, Sophia would have fought her without any regard for her ladylike image."Now that Liam is inside receiving treatment, we can settle this score later!"Clive saw people around them staring and managed to persuade Sophia to leave.When he returned, he was surprised to find Suzy still standing there with a visible palm print on her delicate face. Combined with her dainty appearance, she appeared somewhat pitiful.This only fueled his anger even more!"Why haven't you left yet?!"Clive had never been particularly fond of Suzy, considering her a passing fancy. Now, with this incident, he had even less interest in her."Is it because of me that Liam had the accident?"Suzy had picked up some clues from their conversation earlier but didn't know the whole story. Liam was supposed to be with Sophia, so how was the accident related to her?"Heh, today is August 25th, don't you know?"Suzy did know, but
Suzy felt her mind was in turmoil as if it had been stirred into a muddy mess, making it impossible to think clearly.She stumbled out of the hospital, her legs swollen from standing all night, aching as if they were filled with lead.It was difficult to walk, and Suzy noticed a breakfast cafe nearby. She went in and ordered something random, then sat down to take a break.The café owner approached with scrambled eggs and milk, but when she saw Suzy's condition, she was shocked!"Oh my goodness, dear, what happened to your face? It's bleeding. Quick, let me get some medicine and iodine for you!"After saying that, she hurried back to fetch medication and iodine for Suzy.Suzy heard the concern in her voice and decided to check her face using the front camera on her phone. It was indeed a mess.The skin near her eye had been scratched by Sophia's nails, and perhaps due to her recent frowning, the wound had reopened, causing a bit of bleeding.She thought to herself that her left cheek m
Wendy received a call from Suzy while she was at work, and she was genuinely shocked by her hoarse voice."What's going on with you? Didn't my cousin say your mom didn't find out?" Wendy asked."It has nothing to do with my mom," Suzy hesitated on the other end of the line before reluctantly saying, "Can I temporarily stay at your place for a few days? I'll find an apartment as soon as possible, at most in a week!"Wendy was puzzled. "Are you not renting your place anymore?""Um, you can say that.""Well, why don't you just move into my place? Why bother with temporary stays?" Wendy sounded exasperated. "I suggested this before, but you refused outright! Like I said living together would be great. You could cook for me, help me tidy up, and keep me company! So, it's settled. You're moving in tonight!""Okay, we'll discuss it when you're off work."After hanging up, Wendy sat at her desk, her eyes rolling for a moment, and then she immediately Jeffrey."Don't say I didn't warn you. Suz
