Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1806

After doing her grocery shopping, Susan made a trip to a smartphone store near the supermarket. “Hi there. Can you recommend me a good phone?”

The store owner took a few phones out of the display cabinet and placed them on the counter. ”All right. Check these models out. They're suitable for mobile gaming as they have large storage spaces.”

“Might be a little pricey, though.” He reminded after sizing her the girl, thinking she must be a student.

The moment Susan heard that these smartphones were designed for mobile gaming, her eyes brightened. “Okay. I'll take this then. I can use back the same phone number, right? By the way, my SIM card is damaged.”

“Sure, not a problem. Your identification card, please,” the store owner replied.

Identification card? I'm not buying it for myself, though. I bet he'll not come if I ask him to.

After contemplating for a while, she decided to show the store owner her identification card. As soon as she got back her phone number, she made the payment for the new phone and went home with it.

“Timothy? What are you doing here?” She was surprised to bump into Timothy at the foyer of the condo.

She ran up to him and asked, “How's everything? How's mom?”

Timothy, who had just returned from Jadeborough, looked exhausted and disheartened. “Mom is not doing well, Susan.

“I heard she spotted blood in her stools some time ago but refused to go for a body checkup. I eventually convinced her to do a thorough checkup, but the doctor said...”

“What did the doctor say?” Susan inched closer and grabbed his arms.

Bad things can't happen to my family anymore. We've lost our father. We can't lose our mother.

Timothy dropped the bomb. “The doctor said it's rectal cancer. Mom is going die soon, isn't it?”

The six-feet-tall boy burst into tears after delivering the news.

Susan blanked out and staggered, dropping the grocery bags in her hands.

“Susan...”

“No! Mom will not die. I'm going back to Jadeborough. Bring these up. I'll bring mom to the hospital right now.”

Instead of going upstairs, the twenty-one-year-old grabbed her phone and left for Jadeborough in haste.

All this while, Susan had always been the decision maker of the family.

Timothy might be a male in the family, but growing up, he had always been a pampered child. Since Colton's passing, Susan had to take charge of everything in the family, as her mother Sigrith was also a nose of wax.

In other words, all the family's responsibilities were now on her shoulders.

Meanwhile, inside the condo, Ian worked on his laptop in the common area and did not return to the bedroom.
