No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 213



"Felicia, thank you for loving my brother, for accepting him!"

As Susie said this, she raised her hands, offering me a mug of tea with utmost respect, her eyes brimming with tears.

In that moment, a wave of emotion hit me, too.

But I couldn't help but smile. "Listen to you, talking as if your brother was the last man on earth."

Susie pouted, and I took the mug from her, taking a sip.

The clear, floral fragrance of the tea enveloped my taste buds, unlike anything I had ever experienced before.

It was like morning dew, a divine elixir, extraordinary in every sense.

"Felicia, my brother put off dating because of me. He was worried his future wife wouldn't treat me well, would disdain me..." Susie's voice trailed off.

I knew why she suddenly stopped.

She was afraid Ernest hadn't told me about her illness, afraid that knowing she was sick, I would look down on Ernest.
