Asking Dylan to persuade Grace was futile. Everyone in the Wright family knew how stubborn she was.
Once she made up her mind, no one could change it, especially when it involved Suzy.
"Suzy," Dylan said, locking his eyes onto hers.
"Do you really think I can convince Grandma to stop worrying about you? That’s impossible.
“Her care for you goes beyond anything I could influence. She cares about you more than she does about me or Diana.
"To her, you’re closer than her own granddaughter. You don’t even know how worried she was when she found out you were arrested. She wanted to rush to the prison herself to get you out. I was the one who stopped her."
"That’s exactly why I don’t want her to suffer even the slightest bit because of me!" Suzy’s brows furrowed deeply.
"She’s already in her eighties. I just want her to live a peaceful, healthy, and long life."
"Do you think I don’t want that too?" Dylan’s sharp brows knit together as he stared at her.
"That’s why we need to figure out who’s behind all this and stop them as soon as possible. That’s the only way you, Grandma, and everyone else can finally be safe."
"It’s not that easy to find them," Suzy said with a bitter smile.
"Dylan, do you know something? I’ve never been afraid of anything before, but now… I am.
"Elliot is still missing, and I’m terrified that something could happen to you, Grandma, or Diana. Don’t you get it?"
Suzy had always thought herself fearless, someone untouchable by fear.
But now… now, she was truly afraid.
"The poison you were exposed to before wasn’t as harmless as I made it sound," she admitted, her voice low.
"Even though we neutralized it in time, the aftereffects are severe. Your recent allergic reaction was just the mildest symptom. There could be more complications later on..."
