When I Met You novel Chapter 18

Susan reached out to grab Ruby into her embrace, kissed her, and said, “Okay, then you take the snacks to your room and I’ll speak to your godmother for a while.”

“Okay.” Ruby grip a bottle of yogurt in her mouth, grabbed the snacks, and skipped towards her room with the snacks.

Once Ruby was inside her room, Susan sat on the sofa, sighed, and relaxed.

“Here you go, have a drink.” Tina gave Susan a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and said to her, “Why are you here during office hours? This isn’t like you. Aren’t you worried that Edward will find out?”

“Edward went to meet his true love.” Susan took a sip of the juice, looked at Tina, and then sighed again.

Tina looked at Susan with disdain, “Then aren’t you jealous?”

Susan rolled her eyes at Tina and took another sip of the juice, “What right do I have to be jealous? I can’t even handle my own matters now.”

“What?” Tina frowned at Susan.

Susan appeared helpless, “Jarvis is Ruben’s son and Edward is Ruben’s younger brother. Do you understand such a relationship?” After Susan said this, she looked like she had lost all hope in life.

Tina was eating lychee and almost swallowed the pit. She quickly spitted it out and said to Susan, “Ha ha ha, Susan, you… haha… then what do you intend to do?” Tina had not met Edward and seen his character but she had heard of it.

As for Jarvis, Tina had seen and guessed that he must be an incomplete version of Edward.

Susan looked helplessly at Tina, “What can I do?” After saying this, Susan’s phone rang and Susan took a look at it. It was an unknown number and she quickly answered it.

Jarvis’s voice came over the phone, “Where are you?” He went straight to the point.

Susan didn’t know how to face Jarvis. She straight away ended the call without giving it a thought. She thought that Jarvis would call again but he didn’t.

Just as Susan thought that Jarvis had given up, she received another call and this was from a renowned private hospital which Susan had once considered sending her mother there. Unfortunately, the costs were exorbitant and hence she didn’t.

She frowned and hesitated but answered the call, “Hello?”

Susan frowned as the caller said, “Hi, Ms. White, I’m Troy Morton of Grace Hospital.”

“How do you do? Mr. Morton?” Susan felt strange from Troy’s tone but answered very politely.

“Ms. White, a few years ago I noticed the results of your medical thesis. May I ask where are you working now? Are you interested in working at our hospital?”

What he said shocked Susan. She had always wanted to work at a hospital again but previously all the hospitals had rejected her due to the rumors spread by Kendra.

She had continued to study over these years except that she had never harbored the hope of working in a hospital again.
