George Wright, Oliver Wright, Jacob Shelby, and Seth Leeds walked out from behind Luna Harris.
A look of shock and surprise flashed past Susan’s eyes.
She had not told her family members about her being in the hospital ward from an illness in fear of worrying them.
How did Luna and the others find out and come now?
Luna had already charged to the bedside and held Susan’s hand tightly. “Susie, what’s going on with you, my child?! Such a serious...illness and you still won’t tell me. Don’t you know that I’d be very worried? My child, you…”
Luna chattered endlessly with an anxious expression.
Susan could not help flashing a helpless expression on her face.
She was afraid of everyone being worried though…
The Seth-like talkativeness of the overly-concerned Luna was triggered. She continued to chatter on for a very long time without any intention to stop.
It was still Geroge who responded to the situation first.
“Luna, we brought chicken soup with us.”
“Oh right, the soup.” Luna reacted to the situation so she hastily took out the chicken soup from her carry-on bag while she continued to nag Susan incessantly, “My child, if you do something this worrying again next time, I will nag you to death.”
“Yes yes yes, I know.” Susan hastily acknowledged, “I won’t do it again.”
“I can tell that you’re just humoring me.” Luna glared at Susan but she still took out the chicken soup cautiously and began feeding Susan meticulously.
Susan pretended not to hear that but she wrapped her arms around Luna’s arm in a coquettish manner. “You’re the best, Mom.”
Luna scoffed coldly once before she scooped up a spoonful of soup with extremely gentle movements and brought it to Susan’s lips.
Susan took a sip, then revealed an extremely exaggerated expression. “That’s really delicious. Mom, how did you know that my favorite chicken soup is from Waterside Eatery?”
Susan was a person who disliked bothering someone else. Even with her biological parents, she seldom showed them her food preferences because she did not want to bother them to prepare the food especially for her.
As a result, she was rather astonished to be served her favorite chicken soup.
“How would your mother know that? Julian’s the one who told us.” George’s husky voice was heard.
The scene was all quiet.
Everyone looked toward George in unison.
It was especially obvious with Luna. She turned her head to the side to look at George with a murderous gaze.
George was stunned for a moment, then he pursed his lips rapidly.
Damn it! He wondered if his action earlier was considered divulging what he was not supposed to divulge.
Oliver could not refrain himself from casting a condemning glance at George. It felt as if his gaze was saying, ‘Dad, how did you manage to work your way safely until retirement despite your intelligence?’
George did not have the courage to face other people’s gazes, but he still had the courage to confront Oliver.
He glared back right away and let out a cold scoff as if he was saying, ‘I have a great wife—you must be especially jealous of me.’
Oliver shifted his gaze in silence.
Susan did not manage to figure out the interaction between father and son but she could still sense the ghastliness of the ambiance.
She took a sip of the chicken soup and could not help asking, “Did Julian tell you about this? Where is he now? Why isn’t he here?”
As she was speaking, Susan could not help feeling a faint sweetness spreading in her heart.
So it turned out that Julian did not disregard her. Even though he was not there in person, he still prepared the chicken soup meticulously.
“Really?” Susan cast the puzzlement in her mind away and a surprised smile appeared on her lips for a moment.
It was great news. She was so bored of staying in the hospital originally, but she felt restless from being down with the unknown illness over and over again.
However, since the doctor said that she was fine, she should be fine then.
She could finally be liberated.
“However, you still need to rest and recuperate after recovering from a serious illness. Thus, I have everything planned out. We’re going to take you back to stay with the Wrights for a while so it’s convenient for me to take care of you,” said Luna.
Susan was stunned for a moment and then she said, “Mom, I’m already fine. Moreover, we have servants in my home too…”
“How can a servant take care of you more meticulously than me?” Luna said right away, “The plan has been set. I’ve already picked up the two kids Luca and Chessie and sent them to the Wrights too. Do you have anything else that you need to pack up? We shall leave after packing up.”
Susan still wanted to decline for a while, but she nodded after learning that the two children were already at the Wrights.
Susan was brought to the Wrights right away after packing up.
The two children were waiting there just as expected.
They were delighted to see Susan. They dashed to her and each of them hugged one of Susan’s thighs.
“Mommy, hold me,” said Chessie dotingly.
Luca Shaw looked at Susan eagerly as well.
“Alright alright alright,” answered Susan as she was about to pick up the two children.
Luna’s voice was heard. “Mommy has just come home from the hospital so she is still recovering. Luca and Chessie, you’re both good kids. Don’t bother Mommy today since she needs to rest properly.”
Chesney Shaw immediately looked at Susan anxiously. “Mommy, did you hurt yourself anywhere? I’ll kiss it better.”
