The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 503

Ignoring Seth, who had suffered a bad shock, Julian grabbed both Susan and Chesney into his arms and the three of them went back to their home happily.

Susan was happy to see that Jacob had finally worn Anna down in the Wright Mansion. However, her happiness ebbed away when she heard the faint coughing spell from upstairs the moment she arrived at her house.

Mandy's condition was getting worse and worse, and Susan reckoned that her days were numbered.

Susan visited Mandy and chatted with her for a while before returning to her own room.

When Julian noticed the frown on Susan's face, he asked, "How is she?"

Susan pressed her lips tight but did not reply instantly. After a long while, she started to speak. "I think the world is really amazing. One side of it is brimming with joy, while the other side is filled with sadness. We can't predict our fate, and we never know what is awaiting us in the future. Just like Mandy. Before she was diagnosed with lung cancer, who would have thought that she would get a terminal disease?"

Susan sighed and looked dejected. Julian approached her and scooped her into his arms. "We can never predict our future.

That's why we should hold on to what we have right now."

His voice was soft, but there was a deep sadness in his eyes.

Susan was talking about Mandy, but what she did not know was that her own condition was no better than Mandy's.

So long as the Errol Virus still existed, he would live in fear of losing Susan.

He was a stone-hearted man. Susan felt sad for Mandy, but he felt nothing about her condition.

However, if the person who suffered from lung cancer was not Mandy but Susan...

Julian dared not think about it as he tightened his arms around Susan.

Susan sensed the changes in Julian and angled her head up to look at him. "Julian, I have a feeling that you seem rather disturbed lately. What is disturbing you?”

Julian was stunned for a while. He had already tried his best to look as normal as possible in front of Susan. He had not expected that Susan would be able to see through him.

Julian smiled and replied in a hushed voice, "Susie, the only thing that I fear in this world is that I won’t spend all my life with you until both of us grow old and gray. I'm afraid that you might leave me alone.”

Apparently, what Julian said and what Susan understood were two different things.

Her gaze softened as she replied, “Both of us dealt with the matter at hand in the wrong way this time. Let's take a step back. Don't mention it again. Julian, if you don’t betray me, I’ll never leave you no matter what.”

After being separated from Julian for a few months, Susan had realized that she could not leave the man anymore.

Without Julian, she was nothing more than a walking corpse.

They had misunderstood each other, and they had walked away from each other before. They had questioned themselves about their choices, and they'd had a quarrel. However, the silver lining was that neither of them had let each other go in the end.

The matter with Willa was a misunderstanding, and Susan did not want to think about Madam Shaw anymore. Time would heal everything, and she hoped that nothing would split them apart anymore.

"Okay, let’s not mention it again.” Julian secured Susan tightly in his embrace.

Then, he said in a stern voice, "Susie, I know I have done a lot of bad things to you.

I know I shouldn't always keep you in the dark, but no matter what happens, you have to believe that my feelings for you have remained the same all along."

Susan leaned against his chest, hearing his strong heartbeat.

She listened for a while and then replied in a soft voice after a long while, "I believe you, but I hope that you will tell me everything in the future, no matter what it is."

Julian let out a bitter laugh but did not agree to it.
