Chapter 1809


    Throughout the rest of the journey, Susan did not dare to engage in a conversation with him. Instead,


    she pretended to sleep all the way.


    I''ve humiliated myself in the most massive way ever.


    Fortunately, Ian did not bother about her. He found a book to his liking and started reading quietly.


    Perhaps the concept of electronic book was all too new to him, he was very focused.


    Two hourster, they arrived in Jadeborough.


    “Ladies and gentlemen, our aircraft has arrived at your destination. Please get ready to dene.”


    A soothing voice of the flight attendant made anding announcement as the ne made its way to the


    runway. At the same time, a sense of weightlessness came along and washed everyone over.


    Susan woke up to find her head resting on Ian''s shoulder. I fell asleep? Oops, I did.


    She opened her eyes bigger and saw a wet patch on his blue shirt with white stripes.


    She nked out all of a sudden.


    Thump!


    Thending was a rough one, resulting in quite a turbulence felt by all the passengers.


    Right then, Susan wanted to wipe off the saliva marks on her face, but her effort was in vain. She


    swayed to the side, slid down from his shoulder, and fell into his arms.


    What an ill-fated voyage!


    A wave of colors flushed her cheeks at once. A faint fragrant from his body snapped her back to her


    senses, and she quickly jumped up to her feet as though she was electrified.


    “Um... I''m sorry, Ian. I... dozed off just now.”


    “It''s okay.”


    Coincidentally, Ian looked down too, and their eyes met. Apart from his stiffened body, a tinge of red


    crept up on his otherwise pale ears.


    The young man grew up in an extremelyfortably andvish environment. Due to his health issues,


    his parents had never made him go for extra training like what they did to his brother.


    Hence, he had very fair and silky skin. It was totally not exaggerating to say that his skin was more


    delicate than most girls.


    Upon getting off the ne and exiting the airport, Susan felt much better.


    “Ian, shall we call a cab?”


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    “Nope, Mommy knows that I''m back. So, Mark is waiting for us outside.”


    Striding ahead, he did not say much.


    Upon receiving his response, Susan trailed behind closely.


    If Sasha had known about Susan''s situation, thetter knew that she would not need to worry about


    anything. This was because the kind-hearted Sasha would certainly help her out.


    She will definitely help Mom!


    Just as they had both expected, Mark did not bring them back to Oceanic Estate when they got back to


    Jadeborough. Instead, he drove them to the General Hospital.


    “Your Mommy has brought the patient to the hospital the moment she received your call. Dr. Wallen is


    arranging for her check-up as we speak. Let''s go and have a look.”


    “Sure.” Ian nodded.


    Susan was moved to tears when she heard thoseforting words.


    Ten minutester, they arrived at the internal medicine department. Susan scanned around and spotted


    her mothering out of the examination room.


    She ran toward her. “Mom, are you okay? How are you feeling?”


    Tears welled up in her eyes again when she saw her ill mother. She''s not getting any younger. Fear,


    anxiety, and trepidation was written all over her face.


    Sigrith said nothing.


    Meanwhile, Sasha walked over and consoled the terror-stricken Susan, “d to have you back. Don''t


    worry, Dr. Wallen says that the cancer hasn''t reached its terminal stage. We just need to wait for the


    report to be out and treat it ordingly with a surgery.”


    Upon hearing that, Susan felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders.


    “Thank you so much, Sasha. My brother and I wouldn''t know what to do if not for you.”


    “Don''t mention it, we''re family. Why didn''t your mom inform us that she''s sick? Are we outsiders? She''s


    my aunt and I''m your cousin-inw. We''re the closest kins, so please don''t act like strangers.”


    Sasha was a little frustrated.


    Susan did not know how to respond to the overwhelming concern and kindness that Sasha had


    demonstrated toward her family.


    She assisted her mother as she said, “You''re right, Sasha. My Mom is like that. She doesn''t like to


    trouble others. Rest assured that I''ll remind her that we''re family, and there''s no need to feel


    embarrassed when asking for help, right?”


    “Exactly! That should be the way.” Sasha let out a smug grin.


    Soon, the test results were out. Thankfully, it was just like what Grayson and Sasha had suspected.


    Sigrith''s condition was not that critical. Hence, everyone discussed and finalized the date for her surgery.


    “All right, I''ll only return to campus after Mom''s surgery,” Susan stated resolutely after making up her


    mind to stay and take care of Sigrith.


    Her decision instantly fetched an objection from thedy host of the entire Jadeson family.


    “Why do you need to do so? Is there no one else at home? The Jadesons are a huge family. We can


    easily get two people to take care of your mother. There''s no need for you, a student, to bother yourself


    with the nitty-gritty. You can return to campus with Ian tomorrow.”
