Chapter 1356
Susan stood next to Lucy, disbelief etched across her face. She had ceased any attempt to stop Lucy from touching Bruce, but Lucy’s words had shocked her to the core, sending tremors through her body and draining the color from her cheeks.
Lucy wasn’t afraid of catching whatever had taken Bruce. She wasn’t afraid of dying at all. Susan had thought that once Bruce was gone, her mother would finally be free. No more walking on eggshells every day, no fear of Bruce’s infidelity, of his nights out on the town.
She had dreamed of a life where she could spread her wings with her mom, live on their own terms. Yet, her mom was declaring she wanted to join Bruce in death!
Susan didn’t look at Bruce’s lifeless body. Her gaze was fixed on her tear-streaked mother. The words that Lucy said left her reeling, pale-faced and numb.
Watching her mother weep, Susan felt a well of despair deep inside her. She had never felt loved, not truly, in this house.
Her father had been a philanderer, charming various women, playing with their hearts and pocketbooks. To him, money was the be-all and end-all.
And her mother? She only had eyes for her father. Any affection Susan received was simply because she was Bruce’s daughter.
If she didn’t carry Bruce’s blood, Susan doubted Lucy would care at all.
Her childhood was a cacophony of endless quarrels. She was sick of it; their fights sent her trembling, locking herself away in her room.
