Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1786 

Similar to the last time, Susan had also been brought to the apartment by lan.

After he fetched a basin of hot water for his aunt to wash up with, lan proceeded to inspect the wounds she had on her before he hastened along to find her some first aid.

"Hang on, lan.There's something that I'd like to ask."

With her eyes in a state of consistent puffiness, Susan called after him, and only then did lan turn around to still himself in front of her.

"Go ahead."

"I would like to know if you were ever angry? Over this matter?"

With her head raised, the barely twenty over year old girl could no longer hold herself together when she finally dropped that question, and from her eyes, tears came pattering off as soon as she did.

Is he upset? That was what she wanted to know.

She supposed that Yasmin was someone that he fancied, so would he be resentful of her for forcing the former to quit school? Susan regarded him unflinchingly as he listened, only to see a look of serenity about the boy.

"Why should I be? I know that you must have your reasons for doing what you did, Aunt Susan, so all I want to hear is an answer from you.Just tell me what it is."

His calmness was astonishing, seemingly never in doubt whatsoever as to whether she might be acting in his best interest, as though what she had done behind his back was something that was merely pedestrian.
