The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1850

Susan kept her head down and ate her breakfast.

Nicky, on the other hand, continued complaining to her boyfriend after seeing how Susan had stopped talking.

"You claim that you miss me so much that you can't sleep, but you didn't drop by to see me. You've been playing video games at home all day, and you never bothered to come and visit me."

"That's different. Be good now," the guy pacified.

Susan felt uncomfortable hearing that because even an idiot could tell that he was actually pacifying Nicky as though the latter was a kid.

Hence, she quickly finished her breakfast and left the place.

She had planned on hurrying to work, but when she reached the entrance of the village, she saw a villager on an ox cart. The creaking noise sounded rather unpleasing to the ears.

Susan was speechless.

It only took one look for her to notice the guy sitting at the back of that ox cart. Her mind exploded and turned completely blank.

Oh my gosh.

"Ms. Jadeson, come quick. Do you know this punk? He said he came to look for you guys."

When the driver of the ox cart saw her, he quickly waved at her.

Susan swayed a little.

The sun was too bright and dazzling for her that day. She wasn't sure if she was especially sensitive to it because she didn't sleep well last night or if the sudden emergence of the guy in question had taken a toll on her heart.

She felt as though her heart had instantly pumped all the blood into her brain, and she could tell that her vision was getting darker.

Still, she staggered to the guy because she realized that he seemed to have remained motionless the entire time.

"W-What's wrong with him?"

"I have no idea. When I was on my way here, I saw him stumbling out of a bus. He couldn't stand straight, so I went to help him out a little. That was when he told me that he was looking for the university students who were volunteering in the village. I brought him here after hearing that," replied the driver.

Susan, despite her daze, hurriedly crouched down to examine the guy.

A quick examination showed her that the handsome guy's forehead was burning. She also noticed the countless bruises on his arms and legs.

W-What on earth happened to him?

It only took a second for immense anger and absolute heartbreak to spread out in her heart. She didn't even think about it as she helped him sit up on the cart.

"Ian? Ian! Wake up."

He did not respond.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Susan continued calling him several times, and only then did he open his eyes.

Susan was delighted to see him up. She was going to interrogate him about what had happened to him when he suddenly relaxed and fell right into her arms.

Before she knew it, he had already fainted.

She was so angry that she was about to go insane.

Who did this to him?

Susan had never experienced anger like that before.

The good news was that there was a small clinic in the village, so they could take him there. After a closer examination, the doctor shared his diagnosis, "He's fine. It's just some scratches and external injuries. Also, he has a fever that is caused by the inflammation of his tonsil. I suppose he is exhausted and has not rested in a while."

"I see. Thank you, Doctor."

Susan heaved a breath of relief after hearing what he said.

Thank heavens he is fine.

She stayed by his side and was there until his condition stabilized. As she didn't want anyone to worry, she took the initiative to contact someone from Oceanic Estate.

Susan: Vivi, do you know what is up with your brother? He dropped by all of a sudden.

Vivian: Huh?

She was rather surprised to hear that because just some time ago, she had overheard her parents arguing over the phone. She seemed to have heard her mother crying and complaining because her father had dealt with her brother the wrong way.

Ah, so Ian ran away?

Vivian: The thing is, Aunt Susan, my brother escaped.

Susan: Huh? Escape?

Vivian: Yeah. Ian made a scene at Frontier Bay and refused to back down even after Daddy showed up. That infuriated Daddy, so he had Mr. Frost take Ian to SteelFort for training.

Susan was so angry that she was on the verge of losing her temper. Steelfort? What? Isn't that the place the Hayeses train their assassins? If I remember correctly, Kurt received his training there.

It was especially hard for her to control her emotions when she turned around to look at the young man lying on the bed. The sight of those terrifying bruises didn't help either.

Susan: What is wrong with your dad? Ian is not like Matteo and is physically weaker. How can your dad punish him like that? What if something bad happens?

Vivian: He wasn't trying to punish Ian. It was for Ian's sake as well.

Vivian was still rather protective of her father.

Susan's frown smoothened a little after she read that reply.

Susan: I know he means well, but he should have taken Ian's physical state into consideration. Just look at how bad things are now. Ian obviously couldn't handle that intense training, and that is why he is here now and has a fever.

Vivian: You're right, Aunt Susan. Daddy overdid it. Don't worry. I will talk to Daddy about this. Maybe it's best if Ian stays with you for the time being. Can you take care of him for a while?

Susan: Uh...

She didn't really know how to react to the sudden change.

Still, she couldn't deny that when she saw that request and looked at the young man lying on the bed, she instantly felt happier than she had been in a while.

The sorrow that had been following her around seemed to have faded as well.q
