Mike complained with a speechless expression, like a child who couldn’t get candy.
What could Sue say about this?
The answer was obvious. Our father wanted to set her up with Morty!
Seeing that Sue didn’t speak, Morty naturally pretended not to hear it. Only when the bowl of millet porridge was empty, then he asked, “Do you want another bowl?”
Seeing Sue shake her head, Morty then took a cup of hot water and prepared the medicine that she needed to take.
Mike, who was ignored on the other side, saw Sue take the medicine and lie down. Then he said, “Sue, have a rest first. I have something to talk to Morty!”
As he said this, Mike did not wait for Morty’s consent and simply forced Morty to walk out of the door.
Looking at the door that opened and closed, Sue could not help but smile slightly.
Without thinking, she knew that her brother must have gone to help her appraised her fiancé.
It seemed a bit too hasty!
Outside the ward, Mike put his hands on his hips and asked arrogantly, “Say it. You have only known Sue for a short time, but you are acting so affectionate. What do you want?”
“I like her!” Morty answered straightforwardly.
“Why?” Mike spread out his hands, obviously not believing Morty’s words.
“I like her!” Morty repeated in an even more serious tone.
“Stephen and Sallie don’t understand, but I’ve been with you for so many years. I don’t need to tell you how your reputation is in the industry. How credible do you think it is to tell me that someone who has been maternally single for twenty-seven years with zero scandals, zero girlfriends and even zero flings is now telling me that he fell for Sue in a very short period of time?”
Morty’s words clearly annoyed Mike. At the end of his sentence, Mike was almost roaring, and his eyes were filled with doubt as he looked at Morty.
He needed a reasonable explanation!
“We’ve met each other when we were in Mostarda. The first time I met Sue, she was hiding under my umbrella, totally drenched. At that time, her foster father was chasing her, and she was even drugged. She looked a little pitiful, a little cute, and a little arrogant. It was heartbreaking to watch and I wanted to protect her at the same time!”
At this point, Morty paused for a moment and his sexy lips slightly raised. Then, he continued,
“The next time I met Sue was at the ball. Uncle told me that she was my missing fiancée. Mike, do you still remember? When I was young, I often went to your house to play. I even made Sue, who was a few years younger than me, cry every time. Maybe I thought she was very cute at that time!”
Mike did not expect Morty’s answer. He was a little stunned.
But what they did not know was that while they were talking, the ward door was secretly pushed open.
A shadow flashed into the room. Because the VIP ward was one of those super-large suites, the medical staff who had been waiting in the living room saw a stranger enter and immediately asked with a vigilant look, “You are?”
“I am Sue’s cousin. I’ve come to visit my cousin and brought specially brewed chicken soup with me!” As she said that, Catherine waved the thermos bucket in her hand.
“I’m sorry, Miss Sue has just woken up and cannot eat such greasy food!” The medical staff said and took the thermos bucket from Catherine’s hand.
“Hey, I say! You are just a nurse, how dare you treat me like this?” Catherine said agitatedly and immediately wanted to snatch the thermos bucket.
“For the sake of Miss Sue’s health, I have the absolute right to speak. If you still want to question me, I don’t mind calling Mr. Cantwell!” The medical staff said in a businesslike tone.
When she heard the medical staff say that she wanted to call her uncle, Catherine, who was initially arrogant, stiffened.
Her hand silently reached for her satchel. When she touched the euthanasia bottle that she bought from the pet shop at a high price, she didn’t continue to pester her and directly pushed the door open and entered the ward.
On the hospital bed, Sue, who had taken the medicine, fell into a deep sleep again.
Seeing this, Catherine stopped pretending and smiled sinisterly.
“Sue, just go quietly. As long as you die, everything will return to normal. Uncle and Aunt will treat me as well as before!”
Catherine whispered as she walked to the cabinet where Sue’s medicine was kept.
