A silence ensued.
Is Evan really that busy?
Who is he trying to fool?
Susan knew that Evan was avoiding her. He had already told her about his plan of marrying Nicole. He must be accompanying her as of current.
“Ms. Muir, please give a call to Evan. Tell him that I’m dying. Tell him to come and see me for the last time.”
Her words were met with silence.
Sheila was taken aback by Susan’s words.
She’d curse herself just to see Evan?
How much effort is this wolf in sheep’s clothing putting in? I really have to applaud her for her bravery.
Nonetheless, I’ll have to reject her, even if she curses herself for this.
Stopping Susan from disrupting Evan’s care for Nicole was her sole mission. She could not fail in this.
With great sympathy in her eyes, she leveled her gaze at Susan. “Why do you have to do this? Mr. Seet is a busy man. You shouldn’t make things difficult for him.”
“In… In spite of that, I still like him. I want him to accompany me!”
“How about this? I’ll accompany you. You can inform me of anything that you’d wish to talk to me about. If you find that you need anything, don’t hesitate to contact me either! I’ll do my best to fulfill your needs.”
“Nevertheless, I miss Evan. I want Evan to keep me company!”
Sheila was at a loss for words.
What kind of spell has Evan put on you? Everything that I’ve said is useless, huh?
Staring at the sobbing Susan, Sheila sucked in a deep breath. “It’s best if the both of us are able to get a peaceful sleep tonight. If you still insist on meeting Evan, call him yourself. From now on, if you mention his name to me again, I’ll curse at you. You can try me!”
Susan was left speechless at her words.
Susan hated the arrogant manner in which Sheila was looking at her with her arms folded. Hence, she was determined to go against her wishes.
“Evan!”
“You’re b*tchy!”
“You- Ms. Muir, how can you curse at me?”
The next day.
While Sheila went to buy breakfast for Susan, she decided to visit Nicole in her ward.
“Huh? Why are you alone? Where’s Mr. Seet?”
“He’s gone out to buy breakfast. Sheila, it must have been hard work for you last night. Tell me if you need anything in the future.”
“Were you glued to Mr. Seet’s side last night?”
Nicole peeked at her and nodded her head truthfully.
“Wow, not bad at all! You’re doing the right thing you know. You should hold on tight to what is yours.”
“I know. What about you? Did Sheila make things difficult for you last night?”
“Make things difficult for me? Haha! I’m surprised that she’d even survived, seeing that I had infuriated her.”
Sheila then relayed to Nicole the incident that had happened between Susan and herself last night.
Upon listening to her recollection of the previous days’ incident, Nicole stared at her in shock. “Aren’t you afraid that she’ll do something impulsive when she starts to feel distressed about your cursing?”
