Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1870

Staring at Susan's hands, Sigrun asked in surprise, "Ms. Susan, your hands..." "Vivi, can you go downstairs to buy a bottle of detergent? Sigrun can go with you." Suddenly, Kurt came out of the kitchen and asked Vivian to buy something for him.

Vivian agreed to it right away.

Then, she skipped happily toward Sigrun and grabbed her arm to leave the house.

Susan heaved a sigh of relief after they left.

Just as Susan wanted to return to her room, she heard Kurt's voice from the kitchen.

"There are some Band-Aids in the wine cabinet. You should treat your wounds."

Susan was a little taken aback, for Kurt could seemingly see her even though his back was facing her.

Moments later, Susan slowly came up to the wine cabinet. She opened the drawer and took out two pieces of Band-Aids.

After treating her wounds, Susan came to the kitchen and offered to lend Kurt a hand. "Kurt, let me help you."

Kurt neither agreed nor declined as he continued working.

As Susan was wiping the plates with a dry towel, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked, "Kurt, can you tell me... what has happened to him?"

"What do you mean?" Kurt, who was busy washing the dishes, asked Susan back calmly.

 

Susan turned around to gaze at Kurt. That question from him was the final straw on the camel's back, and she found she couldn't suppress her emotions any longer. In an instant, tears started to well up in her eyes.

Susan was smart enough to know that Kurt had helped her ease the situation by asking Sigrun to leave the house. As such, it was logical for Susan to believe that Kurt was aware of what had happened to Ian.

"Ian was sick. After returning from the company, he locked himself in his room, just like how he did for three days after Duncan died. However, this time, he locked himself in his room for a week."

Crash!

Once Kurt finished explaining, a plate fell from Susan's hands and shattered on the floor.

The next moment, Ian came out of his room because he heard the noise.

"What happened?"

Although her body trembled violently, Susan dared not turn around and merely stood still.

In the end, Kurt crouched down to pick up the shattered pieces of the plate.

"It's nothing serious. I accidentally broke a plate."

"I see. Don't wear Aunt Susan out. Since she has just arrived today, please let her get some rest. Why don't you hire a housemaid to do the dishes if you're busy?" Ian instructed Kurt before he left the kitchen.
