Curtis finally looked up from his papers, flicking ashes from his cigarette.
“I mean, they are cats.” he replied.
At a loss for words, Jennifer took a deep breath, visibly fighting the urge to punch him.
“Can you be serious for once? I need to talk to you about something important.”
Curtis remained nonchnt, “You were just telling me to speak up, now you’re ying coy?”
Jennifer was furious, but held back, giving him a sharp look. “Is there really no chance for you and
Suzan?”
“I wonder if you would have discussed matters of national importance with me.” Curtis returned his
attention to the documents in his hand, dismissive. “Mrs. Richardson, I’m really busy. If you’re bored
and want to chat, I charge by the second.”
“As if I love chatting with you, a single sentence from you is enough to kill me.” Jennifer sighed.
“Weren’t you and Suzan doing well when you dated?”
Curtis sneered, his wordsced with irony, “Why I dated her should be obvious to you.”
“That was for your good! You two grew up together and seemed perfect for each other. I hoped that
you…”
She was cut off as Curtis interjected, “Who told you we were perfect for each other?”
“I saw it with my eyes that the night I saw you two embracing.”
“Which night?”
“Your sophomore year, after you won the mathematicspetition and came back
home.”
Curtis remembered. “Oh, that night.”
He took the cigarette from his mouth, twirling it between his fingers, his smirk cryptic.
“She came out to talk and didn’t say much before she was all over me. I was too busy watching Leanne
holding hands with some boy to push her away.”
“Suzan told me she confessed to you and you epted.”
Curtis had just heard about this, clicking his tongue, “I didn’t even hear what she said.”
Jennifer was speechless, her emotions churned like a stormy sea.
For years, Curtis had been rebellious at home, living a carefree and reckless life. As his mother, she
couldn’t stand it anymore.

So shepromised, agreeing to let him minor in economics on the condition that he cut ties with his
frivolous affairs and seriously date Suzan.
Sure, the Wrights weren’t as high up on thedder as the Richardsons, but their close-knit bond made
them a pretty good pair.
In the end, it was all aedic misunderstanding.
“Don’t tell me you liked Leanne back then. How old was she?”
The men from the Richardson family were both strikingly handsome. The eldest, Phillip, resembled
their father Maddox. Curtis had always been told he looked like Jennifer.
Privately, Jennifer had always had a soft spot for him.
Now here was wayward Curtis, slouching on the couch, hisugh both open and infuriating, “I’m a jerk.
Is this news to you?”
Jennifer felt a migraineing on.
She sighed deeply, no longer wanting to deal with him.
But she couldn’t just leave it be.
“Mr. Wright has been having trouble with his eyes. He’s in the hospital. Come with me.”
Curtis was disinterested, “A minor illness doesn’t need visiting. If it is a serious one, you and dad can
handle it. My presence won’t heal him.”

Jennifer cut straight to the point, “Leanne is his attending physician.”
Curtis paused, his expression cloudy.
“With all the hospitals and doctors in Stonebridge, why her?”
“The Wright family lives near that hospital. It’s probably just a coincidence,” Jennifer exined. “But
given the situation with Suzan, they might hold a grudge against Leanne.”
“Since she’s involved now,e with me to show some goodwill. It’ll put their minds at ease and spare
Leanne any trouble.”
The clinic was bustling that afternoon and Leanne was too busy to even drink water. When she finally
called thest patient and felt her back ache, she headed to her office to tackle the pile of paperwork
waiting for her.
The door banged open rudely.
Leanne looked up from herputer to see udine pushing the door open, a scowl etched between
her brows, “You really think highly of yourself, don’t you? Hardly approachable.”
Leanne ignored the emotional outburst, getting straight to the point, “Have the test results

“It’s because the results are ready that I called you, and yet here you are, acting high and mighty. Don’t
think just because the Richardson family backs you that you can ignore us.”
“What does this have to do with the Richardson family?” Leanne remained calm. “I’m a public hospital
doctor, not your family’s private physician. I can’t be at your beck and call.”
“I told you this morning. Once the results are ready, show them to me.”
