Don't bother about me, I am fine... I should be the one doing that, how are you feeling?" Susan holds his palm in hers and caresses his palm. Bode grunts as he moves his body to sit up "As you can see, I'm not dead. Lol, when did you get here?". "Few hours ago, I'm glad to see that. In as much as you are so annoying, I still need you very much alive" Susan nags about how she wasn't informed on time about his poisoning and how pissed she is at Linda for not staying by his side.
