Chapter 180


    Susan sobbed for two hours as if all her tears had emptied before she eventually ceased crying


    Scarlett quirked up the corner of her mouth and chuckled The Susan I remember was always so


    determined. I didn’t think you’d be so tearful”


    Susan was not in the mood to joke around. She asked with a sour expression, “Does Dr. Lanny realize


    you can’t see1”


    Scarlett didn’t care and shook her head. “No.”


    After that, she added. “I won’t trouble her.”


    Upon hearing this. Susan was filled with sadness. Knowing that with only a few days left, Scarlett no


    longer cared if her eyes could see or not.


    She gazed at Scarlett’s listless eyes and held back the feelings that threatened to overwhelm her. In a


    strained voice, she inquired. “Scarlett, when did your heart begin to falter?”


    She had checked and found that it would take a long time for her heart to deteriorate to thete stage,


    and it was impossible for it to suddenly fail


    Having already been ill prior to being injured by the Jackmans, she had already gone through


    something, thus exining why she had reached thete stage.


    Scarlett thought it was important to tell Susan certain things, lest Susan is unaware of the reason.


    She asked Susan quietly with all her might, “Do you recall the two kicks Dev gave me five years ago?”


    Susan suddenly realized something. “Did those two kicks make your heart hurt?”


    Scarlett nodded. The doctor said back then that my heart was going to give out. He wanted me to take


    care of it. He thought I might have a few years left. But I guess I didn’t do a good job of looking after it,


    and that’s why my heart failure got


    worse and worse…

    “It’s going to be alright.” Scarlett patted the back of Susan’s hand, reassuring her to rx, and said. “It’s


    going to be alright.”


    “I spent some time in the capital and had intended to tell you when I returned. However, when I got


    back, you were shouting that you wanted to kill Liam, so I didn’t dare to say anything. Afterward. I was


    afraid that you’d be concerned, so I kept it to myself…


    Susan understood that Scarlett’s heart failure was caused by Dev. Now, it was Sebastian who had


    shortened her life.


    In her short life, the two men she had fallen in love with were both hastening her demuse


    After the two men had inflicted pain upon her, they vanished without uttering a single word.


    Could it be that Scarlett hade into this world to be defiled by them?


    Susan was filled with resentment, wishing she could tear apart the two men who were towering above


    her.


    Scarlett wasn’t as mad as Susan. She seemed to have moved on a while ago. “Don’t hold Liam


    ountable. He didn’t know either. Plus, the medicine I’ve been taking since I was a kid was due to his


    hard work. If it weren’t for him, I might not be here today.


    “Scarlett, you’re so silly… Susan thought she didn’t deserve any of this


    Scarlett didn’t mind, lowering her eyshes without a word, though the image of Sebastian pping


    her lingered in her mind.


    Liam and she were in love, but fate had other ns and they broke up. She, however, had a one-sided


    love for Sebastiani, which was foolish.


    Susan could not bear to say such harsh words to hurt Scarlett, so she did not mention the past


    anymore. She only said, “Scarlett, are you still feeling unwell?*


    Scarlett shook her head. No matter how was feeling unwell, it was no longer important. She did not


    need to trouble the doctors


    Susan caressed Scarlett’s perspiring face and said with concern. “You’re exhausted after only a short


    conversation. Let me get you some warm water and wipe your face…“


    Scarlett gritted her teeth and replied, “OK.” She no longer had the strength to speak.


    Susan let go of her hand, picked up the kettle, and walked out of the room.


    As soon as she left the ward, she bumped into the pale Dev


    His body trembled and his eyes were bloodshot as if he had been standing here for an extended


    period.


    Susan looked at him in surprise and asked coldly. “Didn’t you go back to the capital? Why are you


    here!”


    Dev raised his bloodshot eyes without replying.


    When Susan saw him in this state, she instantlyprehended. “Did you take in what I said to Scarlett


    just now?”


    Nodding like a puppet, he remained silent, as if the truth he had discovered had rendered him too guilty


    to utter a word.
