No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 214

After finishing her thought, Susie turned to me, her eyes sparkling with hope, "Felicia, do you think there's a way?"

I paused, unsure of how to respond.

There was a possible solution, but if Ernest himself was wary of taking such risks, should I encourage it?

If things went well, great, but if they didn't, not only would Ernest never forgive me — which was the least of my concerns — but it could crush him.

"Felicia, you're out of ideas too, huh?" Susie misinterpreted my silence as a sign of hopelessness.

Her eyelids drooped, and her face was etched with indescribable disappointment. "Even my brother hesitates because the stakes are too high. I know my situation doesn't inspire confidence in anyone."

After sighing heavily, she looked up at me, forcing a bright smile.

It wasn't that she was fickle; she simply didn't want her mood to dampen mine.

"It's okay, sis. I'm actually very happy and content. I'll live however long I'm destined to live. Who knows, maybe I'll end up living to a hundred," she joked.

Her words, meant to comfort, only weighed heavier on my heart.

I couldn't stand to see such a bright young woman lose hope. So, I cheered her up, "You know, I have a friend who's a doctor. She studied abroad and now works in obstetrics. But she's connected to a network of medical experts, including some who specialize in cardiology."

"Really?" Susie's face lit up with hope.

"Yes, really. I came here wanting to understand your condition better, and I'm thinking of asking for their advice," I admitted, my words carrying a mix of reassurance and determination.

I was aware of the risks, but Susie's desire for a healthier life was palpable.

Living wasn't enough for her; she yearned for a life filled with quality and adventure.
