It was then that Susan came to realize why Evan never visited her. He was busy keeping Nicole company.
They were in the same hospital. I was just upstairs. Why couldnât he come to visit me?
When she returned to her ward, Sheila was already back with her lunch. Staring at Susanâs disappointed expression, Sheila asked, âWhere did you go? I couldnât find you.â
âI was too bored in the room. I had gone out for a walk.â
âHurry up and eat. Todayâs lunch is rather sumptuous. Youâll like it.â
Susan was visibly unfocused. She merely took a few mouthfuls before she announced to Sheila that she had no appetite.
Fearing that it was an effect of her head injury, Sheila quickly called for a doctor to give Susan a check-up. She only felt relieved after the doctor had reassured her that Susan was fine.
This is such a delicious meal! Itâs a pity that sheâs not eating it. She canât possibly be scheming again, can she?
Sheila ignored her, choosing to enjoy her own meal instead.
In the afternoon, while Sheila was away, Susan sneaked her way out into Nicoleâs ward.
When Nicole saw her, she stiffened slightly before asking, âAre you feeling better?â
Susan shook her head as tears brimmed in her eyes. âMy head hurts! Ms. Lane, wouldnât you allow Evan to accompany me?â
Nicole was speechless at the pitiful sight before her.
Evan had finally begun a relationship with her again, and their relationship did not have room for another woman. With that thought in mind, she glanced at Susan, her expression stern.
âIâm sure that Evan has already given you the necessary clarification on this matter. I hope that youâll halt your efforts in pestering him.â
âMs. Lane, Iâve already had a wedding with Evan. Heâs my husband. You should be the one who would have to stop pestering him,â Susan voiced out confidently, her tone both upset and furious.
âNonetheless, you didnât register with him. Without registration, youâre not his wife. Itâs true that youâve had a wedding with him, but Iâve given birth to his four children. The overseas wedding that youâd forced him into is incomparable to my four kids and our feelings. Moreover, if not for me losing my memories, I would never have allowed him to have that wedding with you. Iâm sure that even if you threaten him with death, heâll refuse to do it.â
Susan clenched her hands and plastered on a cool smile. âHe will. He wonât allow me to die just like that. He wouldnât be able to bring himself to do as such! Even if you hadnât lost your memories, he still would have married me. I know Evan well!â
âIf I didnât lose my memories, we would have found another way to solve it. Marrying you was the outcome that was the least likely to happen. Forget it. Itâs pointless to talk about it now. I hope that youâll stop yourself from threatening anyone with death in the future. Itâs not worth it to die for a man who doesnât love you.â
âEverything that I do for him is worth it. Ms. Lane, we still have a long future to go. Donât assume that heâll definitely be yours until the very end.â
Nicole was speechless.
So sheâs going to keep up in this fight with me?
Fine. Try me.
Now that Iâve gotten my memories back, Iâm not afraid of you. Nicole believed that no one would be able to take what was hers.
Susan shot her a glare at her before she turned to leave.
When she reached the door, she bumped into Evan. âWhy are you here?â
Evan looked at her with furrowed brows, utterly bewildered.
âEvan, Iâm here to visit Ms. Lane.â As she spoke, tears escaped her eyes. She looked like the prime example of a pitiful woman.
Annoyed, Evan asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
As though someone had been mean to her, Susan wiped her tears and whispered to him, âEvan, my head is spinning.â With that said, she tumbled into Evanâs arms.
âAllow me to take care of this.â
Sheila abruptly appeared, catching Susan in her arms.
âI was wondering where youâd ventured off to. Why are you here?â
When Sheila returned to Susanâs ward, she was alarmed to see that Susan was gone. Fearing that she had left to stir up trouble, Sheila headed straight to Nicoleâs ward. Unsurprisingly, Susan had indeed gone there.
Susan had not thought that Sheila would appear out of nowhere to ruin her plans. However, she refused to admit defeat. Instead, she whined, âEvan, can you please send me back?â
âThereâs no need for Mr. Seet to do such things. Iâll send you back.â
