The chances of marrying Lysander were pretty high if the woman was recognized by Zephyr.
Susan couldn''t mask her disappointment as she realized her moment of ying the heroine had all been for naught. She had
imagined herself basking in Lysander''s affection, standing proudly by his side for all to see in the future.
Even if she didn''t end up marrying him, bing hisdy like Thssa seemed pretty likely. But before Lysander could even
utter a word, Zephyr had shot her down.
The higher Susan''s hopes had soared, the deeper her spirits now plunged.
She was fuming, and she wasn''t about to let Thssa off the hook. She spitefully reminded Thssa that her days of bliss were
numbered, that Lysander would soon marry another woman.
Thssa snapped out of her daze, her mncholic gaze sharpening as she red at Susan. "Save your pity for yourself. After
all you''ve schemed, all you got was just a medical bill," she spat out before storming out of the ward.
“You—argh!" Susan choked on her anger. The previous p from Thssabined with the stinging words, sent her into a
fury. She grabbed the bouquet from the bedside table and hurled it to the ground, screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Susan, calm down," Lucy pleaded, trying to soothe her daughter.
Bruce''s face was like thunder. He had thought his daughter was about to transform from a nobody into a phoenix. Now all they
had got a mere coverage of the medical expense! His ns to cash in crumbled, and how could he not be angry?
Meanwhile, Ethan found the whole spectacle rather amusing.
What a bunch of phonies, he thought to himself. They flip-flopped faster than actors in a y, changing their tune to suit whoever
they faced. He had never seen such hypocrisy up close.
"Susan did save Lysander. It''s only right that he covers the medical fees," Ethan remarked nonchntly before following

The family was left seething at Ethan''s words, their cheeks burning with humiliation.
"Damn it!" Susan eximed, tossing a pillow violently to the floor, her face twisted with rage.
Lucy continued to pat her back soothingly. "Susan, try to stay calm, dear. You''re still injured, and the doctor said you need rest.
Don''t do anything rash that might worsen your wounds."
The injury on Susan''s shoulder de could easily tear open if she wasn''t careful. But she couldn''t swallow the bitterness of
defeat, turning to her mother in frustration. "Didn''t you hear what Thssa and Ethan said? | saved Lysander and got nothing but
just the hospital bill!"
And she might be left with a big scar on her back.
"Didn''t Zephyr leave a bodyguard to
protect you?" Lucy tried to offer some

Seeing her daughter pped by Thssa and then rejected by Zephyr, Lucy was livid.
But what could they do? They had no choice but to bide their time and wait for another opportunity.
