When I Met You novel Chapter 24

Susan had no idea how to reply to Edward's question.

She touched her right cheek, thought for a while, and said, "So, you already know?"

"Know what?"

Susan giggled a little awkwardly, "I... sorry about that."

For hitting your true love.

But Susan didn't say that part out loud, she didn't know what else she could say.

Susan was never the person who would hit others, she wouldn't have slapped Vanessa, but for some reason, she couldn't endure it.

After Susan apologized for her behavior, Edward didn't say a single word of blaming Susan, he only said, "Get some cream to apply on your cheek."

"Okay."

After saying that, Susan was about to hang up the phone.

She didn't get the chance to do so when right in that moment, she heard a childish voice yell out loud, "You are all lying, my dad, he is the king of the forest!"

"..."

Susan got so scared that she immediately hung up.

She turned and went for Ruby, she saw that Ruby had closed her eyes, but her face showed how stubborn she was, ready to fight with those children again.

Susan couldn't help but to laugh.

She reached out her hand and tried to even out the lines on Ruby's little angry face, then she sent a message to Edward, ‘The child of my colleague was talking in her dream.’

Edward replied, ‘No need to explain, I won't think that you are hiding a child outside.’

Susan saw it and replied, ‘Stop it!’

Edward didn't answer anymore, so Susan put her phone back in the pocket, then she turned to check on Ruby.

She remembered what Tina told her, should she go and find a father for Ruby?

As she thought about that, she fell asleep.

The second day, just as Susan woke up, she took Ruby to wash up, then she put her back on the bed, and read a book to her, in that moment, the door to the ward opened.

A man, a little older than Susan herself, very neatly dressed with a pair of golden framed glasses, came in, he looked exactly like one would imagine the looks of a doctor.

He was holding a bouquet in one hand, and a Barbie doll in the other.

"Excuse me, you are...?"

Susan looked around, she and Ruby were the only ones in the room in that moment, the other child who was there last night had been transferred to a different ward.

She didn't recognize this man, so she thought he must have walked to the wrong ward.

But the man pushed his glasses up, and went towards Susan, reaching out a hand to shake with her.

Susan was perplexed.

"Hello, you must be Dr. Susan, I am Dr. Bronson Jones."

"Yeah, I am Susan."

Susan blinked, and looked at the person standing in front of her.

"I am a doctor at the children's hospital, I know Tina from a research meeting."

"So you are here for Tina?"

Susan didn't understand, "Tina is in Z City for a meeting."

"No, Ms. White, you misunderstood, I am here for you."
