Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 307

As Curtis was about to leave, Suzan called out to him.

“Curtis, could you stay with me for a bit?” There was a hint of pleading in her voice.

Curtis glanced at the receding figure of Leanne who wasn’t too far away, close enough to hear Suzan’s words.

Yet, she didn’t turn around, her steps unhesitating.

“The doctor said if my dad’s eye condition isn't treated right, he might go blind. I’ve been so worried and couldn't sleep all night.”

Pride ran deep in Suzan’s veins, seldom showing vulnerability. Yet here she was, a woman typically seen as haughty, rendered fragile by the worry for a family member and seeking support from a man she trusted. It was a sight that could evoke sympathy.

Curtis checked his watch, as if even sparing a few words needed careful consideration of his availability.

“Uveitis isn’t terminal, Suzan. If you have concerns, better speak to a doctor. If I knew how to cure, the hospital might as well be named after me.”

Curtis wasn’t insensitive and chose not to indulge in others’ emotions.

If Leanne had asked him to stay, he would’ve redefined a moment into eternity.

Without lingering, Curtis left, but not before throwing a parting shot, “You should take a leaf out of your mom’s book. She seems to be doing just fine, even finding time to hassle others.”

Suzan pursed her lips, flashing back to Curtis' flirty chitchat with Leanne that had just happened.

To Leanne, his eyes sparkled with laughter, almost meltingly so.

Everyone said Curtis was a charmer, but none of those women ever truly caught his eye, including Suzan.

Suzan appeared to have it all in a prestigious family with popularity and a celebrated intellect honed at Brightwood University. She had been considered the perennial belle of Curtis’ ball.
