Susan was pressed on the bed.
On the other side, Isabelle went out of the ward with the address in her hand.
Looking at the address that Susan gave to her, Isabelle’s eyes sparkled.
Everything was going according to plan. Right now, she was just not sure whether the little boy would show up or not.
Be that as it may, she would not lose anything even if he did not show up. However, if he came...
Isabelle’s heart began to pump faster when she thought about the little boy who already showed an imposing manner at that time.
“All done!”
Julian placed a flower in the last spot to complete the heart. Then, he rose to his feet and walked a few steps away to admire his masterpiece.
The heart-shaped flower contained 9,999 flowers. It took him the whole night and a morning to finish it. The flowers were all red, and it looked like a fire from afar.
Even though he was exhausted, he felt it was worth it when he imagined the expression Susan would give when she arrived.
Suddenly, he heard a series of footfalls from a distance.
He put on a grin and took out a bouquet of flowers from the trunk. Then, he hid behind the tree as he planned to surprise Susan.
As the footsteps went closer, his smile grew wider.
“Huh?” The footsteps stopped and a voice rang out.
Although the voice did not sound right to Julian, he did not think too much about it. Holding the flower, he popped out from the tree.
“Susie,” he called out to the person.
However, when the person turned around, Julian’s smile froze.
It was not Susan!
“Mr. Shaw?” Isabelle was genuinely shocked when she saw Julian.
“What are you doing here?” Julian asked with a cold voice.
This was the secret base where he used to play with Susan. Aside from them, nobody should know about it.
Staring at Julian and the flowers in his hand, Isabelle’s heart leaped into a gallop.
A thought flitted across her mind.
There was only one explanation as to why Julian would show up here at this moment, not to mention that he had decorated the venue in advance.
Julian was that little boy.
Isabelle was startled by the thought, but when she thought it over, she felt that it was the truth. After all, Julian called her “Susie” the moment she was here. In other words, he knew the little girl was Susan. However, Susan did not know that the little boy was Julian.
He knew Madam Jenkins and Mandy always bullied Susan, and there were times he wanted to stand forward and help Susan, but he knew he did not have the right. Luke was her partner, while he was just a nobody. In the end, he could only keep silent.
While in the process of watching her, the feelings that he had for her slowly took root in his heart. He had no idea when it happened, and by the time he realized it, he was already deeply in love with Susan.
Initially, he thought he was going to bring the feeling to his grave, but something bad happened and Susan’s life changed entirely. Luke got caught in an accident and he lost all his memories. Jacob’s illness returned. Her life was falling apart. She ran here and there seeking for help, yet nobody was willing to give her a hand. It was as if the entire world had abandoned her.
At that time, an idea sprouted in his head. He wanted to marry the woman, and he wanted to protect her. He knew very well that his mother would never allow a woman of her background to marry into the Shaws, so he created an accident for himself. Then, he found a psychic and had him tell his mother that he needed a woman to help him ward off the disaster. The woman must be a perfect match for him.
The psychic then told Madam Shaw about the woman’s characteristics. He racked his brains and made a lot of arrangements in the dark to make sure that Madam Shaw would pick Susan.
In the end, he finally got what he wanted. He successfully put Susan under his wings.
Initially, Susan only cared about Luke. Due to his pride, he put on a cold facade to hide his true feelings. It was only after going through many things together that their hearts grew closer to each other. They openly admitted their feelings for each other and they vowed to spend the rest of their life together.
He was her childhood sweetheart, and she was his. Right now, they had grown up and they promised to be life-long companions. This time, Julian wanted to tell her that he had fulfilled their childhood promise. They finally could be together forever. He even had prepared a ring as he wanted to propose to her once again.
However, everything ended up in naught when the person that showed up was not Susan.
‘Why is it not Susan? Why?’
Julian stood there like a statue.
Staring at Julian, Isabelle asked, “So if you don’t mind me asking… What are you doing here, Mr. Shaw? And how do you know about this place?”
