When Edward heard Vanessaâs name, he immediately produced his phone and charged it in his car while snatching away Susanâs phone to call Vanessa back.
Susan could only wait for Edward to finish his call. She didnât dare to get off the car and she also didnât have the courage to study the changes in Edwardâs expression. She pretended that nothing was bothering her by turning on the radio and listening to some songs.
When Edward finally returned, he just said to Susan, âI have asked the driver to send you home. I have some matters to attend to.â
âMy husband, you donât need to specially escort me home, you know. You can just go look for any woman you like, you know that I donât care about that.â Susan said very nonchalantly.
âCoincidentally, I can go take a stroll and have fun by myself.â
As she said that, Susan voluntarily got off his car and waved at him, âBye, my husband.â
With her high-heels clicking underneath, she headed to an exit nearby.
Edward gaped at Susanâs shrinking back with his depthless gaze for some time before returning to his car and switching on his phone. He saw that there were more than a dozen missed calls which had the same phone number, and only then did he start the engine of his car and left the underground garage.
...
Susan didnât hang out anywhere, instead she immediately hailed a taxi to head to the First Hospital. She headed straight to the intensive care unit and through a glass window separating the ward and the visitorâs area, she saw an elderly woman who had ashen hair and was seemingly sleeping soundly.
âDonât you want to go in?â
A female voice suddenly broke the silence after Susan had been standing there for some time.
Susan turned around and saw that this voice belonged to her good friend, Tina, who was a paediatrician.
âNo thanks. What good can going in do? She has been like that for a long, long time.â
Tina produced a bitter smile while handing a sweet to Susan. She comforted Susan, âYou must keep in mind that a person who has a ninety-eight percent brain necrosis yet can still continue to live with the remaining two percent of her brain still active and growing can be considered a miracle in the medical industry.â
Susan finally revealed a faint smile on her face after Tina tried to console her. She patted Tinaâs shoulders and thanked her, âThank you, my dear friend. You always give me a booster every time Iâm feeling down.â
Tina simply smiled without heeding her words.
After watching Susanâs mother together with Susan for some time, she seemed to suddenly remember something as she looked at Susan seriously, âDo you have something to do later at night?â
âI donât have anything urgent to attend to. Iâll follow you home and give Ruby a visit.â
âIâm not talking about the child.â Tina seemed to be hesitating about something. She bit her lips and continued, âRuby is very obedient at home, so you donât have anything to worry about. Iâm talking about a Brain and Heart seminar, and I would recommend you to attend it to learn things. Perhaps it will help with your motherâs recovery since the participants are all geniuses from America.â
âAlright. What time does it start? I donât have anything else to do anyway.â
Susan had been very receptive towards anything that could help with her motherâs recovery, and furthermore, today... Edward was going to meet Vanessa, and it was a collision of true love. There was a high chance that he wouldnât come home tonight.
âBut... Susan.â Tina was hesitating again, âThe medical expert giving that seminar today is called Jarvis Ford.â
Jarvis Ford...
Susan felt her heart sink, and for a long time she didnât respond to Tina. She came back to her senses after some time and said while pretending to be calm, âIf the expert giving the seminar is Jarvis, I donât think Iâm going to listen. Back then, when we were still research students, he wasnât even half as smart as me. How could he call himself an expert?â
âTina, I just remember that I have something to attend to tonight, so Iâll take my leave now. I wonât be seeing Ruby today too.â Susan sounded almost desperate to get away from this place at the moment.
Her pace was very fast, and she was very nervous too. She was afraid that she would bump into Jarvis if she wasnât fast enough.
However, when she got off the elevator and was about to run outside, she still bumped into someone.
That man had a set of sculpted features on his face. He was wearing a white coat which exuded a kind of gentleness yet some distant feeling. His eyes were especially cold and depthless.
Susan stole a glance at him before trying to scurry away with her head lowered.
