When I Met You novel Chapter 9

Susan was startled when she heard Kendra’s voice. Susan quickly moved away from Jarvis and saw Kendra’s expression change as soon as she opened the door.

Kendra maintained a fake smile and said, “Oh? Susan is also here. I’ve not heard from you for so many years. How have you been recently?”

Fake! How fake could she be! Susan wrung her hands tightly and looked at Kendra. There were numerous times over these years that she wanted to confront Kendra but she didn’t. But she will always remember how she had been sabotaged by Kendra until she could not continue in the medical field.

Whenever she wanted to find a job in the medical field, she was met with insurmountable difficulties. She also couldn’t hide the fact that she was pregnant and her mother’s hospital bills required a lot of money.

So Susan borrowed a lot of money to deliver the baby but she couldn’t afford to raise her and pay for her mother’s medical expenses. Even if she worked five jobs a day, she couldn’t even pay for the interests on the loans.

She would have committed suicide if it wasn’t for the child.

It was at that time that she met Edward. She was serving drinks at a bar and overheard that he needed a contract wife. So, she approached Edward to accept her.

Thereafter Tina helped her to raise her daughter and she would visit her daughter whenever she had the time.

During that period, Susan lived an extremely depressing life. After she met Edward, she hoped that she could drag herself out of the mud and thus she purged Kendra and Jarvis from her mind. She didn’t even want to seek revenge but avoided them and now they were the ones who found her.

“All thanks to the graciousness of Professor Hughes, I’ve been doing very well these years.” Susan had a slight smile but she emphasized the word ‘graciousness’.

“Graciousness?” Jarvis was puzzled and asked Susan.

Kendra smiled and answered shamelessly, “I’ve been in A city all these years and seldom return to C city. That’s why I have not been taking care of Susan. I thought that you are not in C city since I’ve not received any news about you for so long.”
