Chapter 247 He Doesn't Know

• Gently, I knocked on Susie’s door. It was already partially opened. When I knocked, the door pushed farther inward. Susie was resting in bed. Nicholas was standing beside the bed, speaking with her. I had just watched the doctor leave before I knocked.
• Susie saw me and waved me closer. As I followed her direction, I noticed she was visibly upset. Her face was red and splotchy. There were tear stains down her cheeks. She was still crying.
• “I’ll speak again with the doctor,” Nicholas said, and after a quick concerned glance at me rushed to chase after the doctor. At that pace, he’d catch her in the hallway.
