Chapter 756 He Had No Answer


    "I''m not leaving," Anthony said with furrowed brows. "Just go back. I know what I''m doing," he


    continued, trying to urge Laura.


    While they were arguing, Laura received a call from Carlson. Yet she was shocked to hear him


    shouting at her over the phone, telling her that he had a flight in the afternoon and would be arriving in


    Y City soon.


    As the call ended, Laura stared at her cell phone in shock. She wasn''t even able to say a word and


    started doubting if the caller was actually her husband.


    For years since she got married to Carlson, he has always been kind to her and never got angry with


    her. Today was the first time she had ever heard him get angry, much less be mad at her.


    "Now, it seems neither of us need to go back. Your father said he wille here in the afternoon,"


    Laura said. She looked at Anthony and continued, "Just get ready to pick up your father."


    Anthony nodded his head slightly but retained his hardened expression. "Okay. You go ahead and just


    wait for me downstairs. I need to talk to Sue."


    Laura nodded slightly. But she turned to him before leaving. "Make it quick. And if you truly don''t love


    her, just let her know and break up with her. She''s not worthy of you," she advised.


    Anthony couldn''t take his mother''s mumbled opinions anymore and eventually had to resort to gently


    escorting her out the room. He turned to the closed bedroom door in front of him with mixed emotions.


    He knocked on the door softly and called out, "Sue, can Ie in?"


    Anxious, he didn''t wait for her to answer and just went in. He saw Sue''s frail figure sitting on the bed,


    lost in her thoughts. While he couldn''t see her expressions, he knew that she was sad.


    "Don''t forget to eat, okay?" he said gently. "I cooked you something. You have to eat it while it''s hot."


    Anthony kept talking to cut through the silence.


    "And you only have a few fruits left in your fridge. Don''t forget to stock up.


    And there''s only a few pieces of your pills left. Remember to get back to the hospital to get checked so


    you can ask for a prescription," Anthony added, seemingly reminding her of everything he could think


    of.


    Hearing his words, Sue couldn''t help but smile wryly. She spoke without turning around, "What are you


    doing? I''ve done all these things on my own before, even before we met. I can handle it. You don''t


    have to remind me of every single thing."


    "I care about you," Anthony said with a dry smile.


    He didn''t know exactly what he felt for Sue. All he knew was that he cared about her. He was


    concerned about her well-being.


    "You care about me?" she scoffed. "Why? Are you worried that I would realize that I''m just your


    ything? Someone to hang out with when you''re bored? And that when you leave and get tired of me,


    I''d try to kill myself?" she said sarcastically.


    "Sue, don''t say that," Anthony said with narrowed brows.


    "So what on earth do you want me to do? Just tell me," Sue challenged. She let out a bitterugh. "You


    never promised me anything. You were just gonna leave me. Who am I to you? Am I just your friend?


    Or your girlfriend? A sex buddy?" she kept asking. "Because honestly, I don''t know anymore."


    "Don''t call yourself that. Please. I just..." Anthony trailed off, really not knowing what to say to make her


    feel better. He just stared at Sue, not knowing how to answer her questions. He refused to answer


    because he didn''t know how to define his rtionship with her.


    "I was already holding back. Believe me, I have a lot more terrible things to say," she admitted. When


    she went into the bedroom earlier, she stood by the closed door and listened to Anthony and Laura''s

    conversation. She was curious of what Laura thought of her. But with Laura''s unkind words, she


    instantly regretted wanting to hear anything at all.


    Her strong emotions drove her into saying everything she was thinking of.


    She then stood up and walked over to Anthony. "You can leave. I''m not a crazy person who will keep


    on harassing you. I can just act like I''ve had a one-night stand with a terrible partner. Now, get out," she


    said, her voice filled with a mix of anger and sarcasm.


    After saying her piece, Sue felt tears threatening to fall from her eyes. She immediately turned away


    from Anthony as she allowed the tears to stream down her cheeks. "And once you walk out that door,


    don''t evere back. I never want to see you again," she said.


    "Sue, please. Don''t be like this." It broke Anthony''s heart to see Sue try to act strong. He knew he hurt


    her, and that she wouldn''t let it show. He nced at Sue and tried to exin, "My father ising. I


    have to pick him up in the airport. Just..." He stopped to gather his thoughts. "When everything''s done,


    when I''ve fixed things, I wille back to see you, I promise."


    As soon as the words left his mouth, Anthony felt a tinge of confusion. Even he didn''t understand why


    he''d make such a promise to Sue. But however or whatever he''d decide their rtionship should be, he


    had toe back and exin things to her, and maybe, say goodbye.


    "Anthony…" Sue turned hastily as she heard Anthony open the door. She had a strong feeling that


    Anthony would nevere back if he left this time.


    She stared at Anthony with tearful eyes and said, "I know I''ve always asked this question, and I hope


    that by now, you can answer me."


    "Okay, go ahead," he urged. Anthony kept his voice calm.


    "I…" Sue glimpsed at Anthony awkwardly and hesitated for a second. "I just want to ask you, how do


    you… how do you define our rtionship?" She sighed heavily, finally able to ask that question again.


    She didn''t know why she was desperate to get an answer. Even if the answer was not what she wanted


    to, she also would like to know it anyway.


    However, Anthony still didn''t answer her question directly. "That question," he stammered. "I''ll answer


    that question when Ie back."


    If he tried to answer now, he didn''t know how much he''d mean it or even if he could answer it.


    All the mixed emotions he was feeling were overwhelming him. He had so many things to do, and he


    needed time to figure out their rtionship.


    He nced at Sue briefly and said, "I have to leave. Take care of yourself, okay?"


    Anthony walked to the door in silence, stepped out, and closed the door gently. As she heard the door


    click, Sue couldn''t help but burst into tears.


    Anthony felt his heart break a little, hearing Sue cry from the other side of the door. He nearly went


    back in again, just to hold her, but he held back.


    He went straight downstairs and out of the house. Laura was standing beside his car, waiting for him.


    When Laura finally saw Anthony, she asked, "What took you so long? Was she trying to stop you from


    leaving?"


    "Mom, can you for once stop it with your judgmental antics?" Anthony turned angry. He nced at


    Laura, his eyes turned into thin slits in frustration. "You always think that every girl that has ever


    approached me is up to something. Why are you like this?"


    "Well, they''ve all been terrible, haven''t they?" Laura replied. "You are my son. Everything I do is for


    your own good. I have seen too many girls like Sue. Gold-diggers trying to find their way into rich


    families like ours," Laura added, her voice filled with arrogance.
