No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 326



It was clear to me that Susie was acutely aware of the gravity of her condition. She knew that if the surgery went well, she'd have a chance at a new beginning. If not, her current reality would soon become nothing but memories.

"You've got plenty of life ahead of you to live like this," I said, nudging her gently with my head. "Trust me on this."

"Licia, my brother can be such a pretender sometimes. He's stubborn and not the best with words. Don't take it to heart, okay?" Susie suddenly got all emotional.

I thought she was worrying about her surgery and was about to comfort her, but then she added, "You've been giving him the silent treatment these past few days as punishment, haven't you?"

Caught off guard by her observation, I poked her lightly, "Young lady, don't overthink things."

"Licia, don't underestimate me. I've read my fair share of romance novels. I get it, I really do," Susie said with a confidence that surprised me.

I couldn't deny it, "Well, he asked for it. Besides, he's been a bachelor for over thirty years; a few days won't hurt. Don't feel too bad for him."

"He's my brother. He'd do anything for me. How can I not care?" Susie said, taking a lick of her ice cream. "He's the best brother and the best man in the world."

Her words almost brought me to tears, "I'll take good care of him, I promise."

"I know. I could tell the moment I saw you," she said, always knowing what to say to make someone feel good.
