Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

“But...”

“Okay, great. Now that this is sorted out, Ian, you should come home with me and rest early tonight.”

Sasha did not leave Susan any room for further discussion. After rejecting her request swiftly, she changed the topic and focused on her son.

Ian was quiet the whole time.

When he was about to leave, he took out the Kindle and returned it to Susan.

“Here you go.”

“Hmm?” Susan looked up at his face, only to realize that he had looked away and walked off with his mother.

Holding on to her device, she watched the mother and son duo leave the ward. Moments later, she collected herself after Sigrith approached her.

“Susan, you must repay the kindness of your cousin and his wife, did you hear me? We must have done something right in our past lives to have met such compassionate people in this life.”

She nagged like a doting mother, reminding her to be grateful.

Susan said nothing.

She gripped her device tightly until her knuckles turned white from the vice-like grip.

Slowly, she released her fingers when they entered the elevator.

“Yes, Mom. I'll surely remember their good deeds and try my best to return the favor.”

“Great. Listen to them, and don't upset them in any way. Do remember to keep a look out for Ian in school. This is basic courtesy, do you understand?”
