Chapter 201

"Don't cry, Susanne." James had immediately protected her when he sensed danger. Just then, a few boys had charged at him. Meanwhile, the leader of the group had been so infuriated that he'd used a tree branch to hit James. He said, "Rich people like you are horrible. I'm going to beat you to death!" After that, the four boys had followed suit and started fighting James.A cloud of dust had kicked up, and the sound of crying had filled the strawberry field. Everything had been utterly chaotic. Meanwhile, James had hugged Susanne tightly. He had wanted to suffer the beating alone because he hadn't wanted her to be harmed. After that, Susanne had stopped crying. It had seemed like the world had fallen silent and that James and her had been the only two people left in the world. From that moment on, she had developed a crush on him. She had thought that he was the only man who would protect her. 20 years had passed since then. After Summer heard Susanne's story, she was surpr

However, Summer had to persuade Susanne and convince her that the love she had for James wasn't romantic. It was only a familial relationship. Sadly enough, Susanne seriously believed that her concern for James was true love. "Susanne, what happened in the past was normal, wasn't it? Naturally, your older cousin protected you like your parents. They care for you, so they protect you. But that isn't romantic love."Susanne sneered. "Summer, I don't think you understand me. You can't understand James' relationship with me. You don't know anything.""I don't know anything? No, I know how you feel. That's why I said all that." Summer had joined a psychology club at university. Although she wasn't a professional, she had encountered similar cases like Susanne's before. Some siblings didn't know what romantic love was, so they developed strange feelings for each other. It wasn't an illness, but it was illegal and unethical. That type of love was twisted. She wanted to continue pe

"You aren't to blame for your mother's death. She loved you. That's why she rescued you." Susanne retorted, "What do you know? You know nothing. My mother died because of me. Otherwise, my father wouldn't have sent me to live with the Quigleys back then. He abandoned me."Summer paused. She realized that Susanne resented Herbert. At first, Summer had thought that Susanne and Herbert were on good terms. After all, when she had met them in the living room, Susanne addressed Herbert affectionately. Summer suddenly understood how terrifying Susanne was. Susanne was very cunning and wasn't as simple as she appeared to be. However, she also had a vulnerable side. Summer could tell that the sadness Susanne had shown earlier on was real. The latter was upset over her mother's death. Regretfully, she had misunderstood many things. Summer yearned to help her. "Susanne, you have to understand that Uncle Herbert doesn't blame you. If he blamed you, he wouldn't be so good to you, right?

Susanne tried to forcefully stop Summer from leaving. So, the latter turned and asked, "What's the matter?""Since you already know everything, I'll tell you why I visited the Quigleys this time." Meanwhile, Susanne's eyes glittered dangerously. She looked like a predator who was lying in wait for her prey. Summer couldn't help but worry. She felt pressured by Susanne. It seemed that the latter had an ulterior motive. Her welcoming and friendly behavior before had been just for show. Summer could only blame herself for being too naive. She finally understood why James had said that Susanne wasn't a simple person. "What do you want, Susanne?" she inquired. "Give James to me. I want you to divorce him.""That's impossible," Summer refused. Many people wanted her and James to divorce, but they weren't successful. Besides, even if she agreed to divorce James, he would never consent to it. Yet Susanne stood her ground. "Don't blame me for what I do if you don't agree to divo

There was a complete change in Susanne's behavior. She apologized, like Summer had hoped she would. But how could the matter be resolved so smoothly? Suddenly, Susanne took out a sharp fruit knife from behind her and lunged at Summer. She aimed the blade at Summer's heart while the latter was caught off-guard. Summer couldn't help but scream in shock. At the same time, she dodged swiftly, thanks to her athletism. Although the knife missed her vital organs, it slashed her arm. Blood dripped onto the floor.In an instant, Summer's arm was covered in blood. Warm liquid trickled down her arm and fingers. The sight was terrifying. She endured the pain. That was when Summer realized that Susanne had tricked her.She'd apologized so that Summer would let her guard down and use the chance to murder her!It was a ruthless trick. If Summer hadn't dodged in time, she would've been dead by now. Summer continued running for her life. She turned to rush out of the room. However,

"No, James. Don't come closer! Don't!"Susanne rejected his help vehemently. In reality, she wasn't refusing James. She just couldn't bring herself to face him. Earlier on, she had been too overwhelmed and had tried to kill Summer. However, she had been unsuccessful in her attempt and even injured her beloved James. As such, she couldn't face him. "I'm sorry, James. I'm so sorry. I know I did something very wrong." Susanne curled into a ball and started apologizing. Her apology was very sincere and didn't seem fake at all. She could only be her true self in front of James. Meanwhile, James knew Susanne well because they had lived together for a long time. Although Susanne was cunning, she could also be innocent and kind. Hence, he hugged her. "Don't be afraid, Susanne. I won't blame you for this.""I'm sorry, James." Susanne continued apologizing, even after she embraced James. At that moment, she seemed to calm down. Summer had mixed feelings as she watched them.She w

"Of course." James' reply confirmed Summer's suspicions. She was extremely curious to find out the secrets Susanne had been hiding. "She has schizophrenia," James replied. His answer stunned Summer. So, Susanne did have a mental illness. In simpler terms, people with schizophrenia could lose touch with reality, making them appear crazy. They would often be delirious, develop hallucinations, and be paranoid. However, Susanne looked like a normal person. Earlier on, she had wanted to murder Summer. That could be attributed to her losing control of her emotions instead of having schizophrenia. "James, you aren't joking, right? Do Uncle Herbert and the others know of her condition?"Herbert was Susanne's father. Since they lived under the same roof, he would definitely know about it. Meanwhile, James shook his head and sighed. "Uncle Herbert doesn't know about it. Susanne's schizophrenia happens intermittently, and it doesn't occur at a fixed time. "Moreover, her symptoms are

It was best to keep that a secret. James had his concerns and reckoned that it would be safer if fewer people knew about Susanne's illness. It could be controlled at the moment. Anyway, her schizophrenic episode had occurred this time because Summer's words had triggered her.Summer complained, "James, you should've told me about Susanne's condition earlier. Although it was meant to be a secret, I almost died because I didn't know about it."The incident earlier had been frightening. Susanne had almost stabbed Summer's head with a fruit knife. If James had been a second late, Summer would've died. Summer wanted to know what James was going to do next and asked him about his plan. James replied, "When Susanne comes to her senses tomorrow, I'll take her to a psychiatrist to see if she needs to be isolated. If her condition isn't serious, I want things to remain as they are."James wanted Susanne to continue living her life normally. Besides, he wanted to continue keeping her ill

Still, Summer couldn't tell anyone about Susanne's illness because she promised James. Hence, she masked her panic so others wouldn't suspect anything. She remarked calmly, "Susanne, why are you here? Our exercises are very basic. I don't think they'll suit you.""It's fine. It's just for fun. Besides, I'd like to spend more time with you, Summer."Summer didn't want to spend more time with Susanne. After all, even if Susanne didn't have another schizophrenic episode, she surely had an ulterior motive for her visit. Summer thought for a while but was unable to think of a reason to make her leave. Anyway, Holly was happy to see Susanne. Holly paused her lesson and told Susanne politely, "Ms. Yancey, Mrs. Quigley told me you were coming in advance. However, I don't think I can teach you anything else."Holly was a professional yoga instructor and had been teaching for ten years. However, Susanne was also professionally trained. She had to learn yoga and dance because of her e

This time, Summer got straight to the point. "Susanne, why don't you tell me your real motive? You followed me here today and even wanted to shower with me. I don't think you genuinely want to be closer to me.""Summer, my motive is simple." Susanne smiled her perfect smile once more. She looked like an innocent angel. But Summer wasn't deceived anymore. After the murder attempt, she had found out that Susanne was mentally ill and was just pretending to be a normal person.Summer took a step back and put on her clothes. She prepared to leave the bathroom. "Why don't you shower first, Susanne? I don't feel comfortable showering with other people."She tried to make an excuse to leave, but just as she was about to walk away, Susanne grabbed her. "Summer, why are you in such a hurry? Are you going to wait for me to finish showering before you take a shower?""I remembered that there's a bathroom in the master bedroom on the second floor. I won't fight for the bathroom with you now
