No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 498

I woke up to Susie's anxious voice, her eyes red and swollen, clearly shaken by my sudden fainting spell. Ernest stood by silently, his expression grave.

"Don't jump to conclusions, the doctor said she's fine," Ernest finally spoke when Susie bombarded him with questions about what was wrong between him and me.

"But there's something going on with you two, right?" Susie wasn't easily fooled.

"I'll explain later," Ernest hesitated.

"Ernest," Susie raised her voice, "you did have a fight with her, didn't you? You promised you'd cherish her just as you cherish me."

"Susie, you don't understand everything. Please, just go home for now?" Ernest said, trying to calm her with patience.

"I won't leave until she wakes up," Susie stubbornly refused.

Ernest's patience wore thin, but he managed to keep his composure, "If you stay, I won't get a chance to apologize to her."

Susie's eyes lit up, a small smile appearing on her face, "Okay, I'll leave. That's more like my brother."

"I'll have someone drive you home," Ernest said, guiding her towards the door.

But Susie shook her head, "I want to see her one more time."

She rushed over to my bed while I pretended to be asleep again.

Even with my eyes closed, I could feel Susie's concerned gaze on me, and she started questioning Ernest again, "She's lost a lot of weight and looks pale. She fainted from anemia. What's happening to her?"

It turns out I was anemic. I had donated too much blood to Conrad, saving him but putting myself at risk.
