Chapter 15 Call Me Dr. Dorsey

Susannay on the bed, her pale face and straight hair fanning across the pillow, making her look pitifully fragile.

Nathan had once said he liked Susanna because she was so meek, doing whatever he told her to do. To her, he was her entire world, and he loved being worshiped like this.

What an angelic bitch.

Vanessa scoffed coldly while looking around.

She was a bit stunned-where was Nathan?

All of a sudden, it dawned on her.

No wonder Susanna had been frantically pulling out all kinds of stunts, asking to see her.

Chances were, Nathan had never visited her sincest night’s surgery.

In other words, Susanna was worried Nathan had been with her this whole time.

Nathan didn’te here after tonight’s dinner. It proved one thing-the Brentford Project was of vital importance.

Work was the only thing that made Nathan neglect Susanna

She curled her lip.

“Vanessa, I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” At the sight of Vanessa, Susanna got all worked up at once. She tried to sit up while apologizing nonstop.

But she was still weak from the surgery. After a few desperate attempts, she copsed back onto the bed, her forehead slick with sweat from the pain.

Standing by the bed, Vanessa looked down at Susanna.

When they were little, Susanna’s pitiful appearance would always drive her to tears, and she’d hold Susanna tightly, whisperingforting words.

But now, she had realized it was nothing but Susanna’s facade. What a disgusting, two-faced phony!

And what truly nauseated her was the sheer viciousness lurking behind Susanna’s harmless facade.

“Ma’am, are you feeling unwell?” she asked indifferently.

“Vanessa, I…”

“Ma’am, I prefer to be addressed as Dr. Dorsey. Don’t act like we’re close or something.” Her tone grew sterner.

Susanna’s face turned paler as she lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

“What’s her temperature?” Vanessa turned to the nurse aside.

“38.5 degrees Celsius.”

Nodding, Vanessa turned back to Susanna. “Lie down and lift your gown.”

Looking at her with reddening eyes, Susanna did as she said.

She bent to examine Susanna’s wound. The surrounding skin was inmed, a sign of possible infection.

Maybe it was because Susanna had been upset with Nathan’s absence.

Vanessa was about to straighten up. Just then, Susanna propped herself up, extending her hand.

Vanessa immediately took a few steps back before Susanna could touch her hand.

Losing bnce, Susanna copsed back onto the bed. She tugged at the wound identally and cried out in pain.

Nathan’s anxious voice rang out behind Vanessa before she could react.

“Suzy? Are you OK?”

He rushed toward Susanna, pulled her into his arms, held her hand, and scolded her, though the concern in his voice was more than obvious, “I told you to bundle up and tuck yourself in, didn’t I? Your fingers are freezing cold.”

“Nate, you’re finally here… It hurts so much…” Susanna immediately wrapped her arms around his waist while sob- bing pitifully.

He stroked her head tenderly before looking up at Vanessa and frowning. “Vanessa, what happened to her?”

Vanessa’s heart ached uncontrobly as she saw the doubt in his eyes.

She was set to leave him. However, the truth remained-he was the only man she had loved, and they were still mar- ried. How could he question her like this for the sake of another woman? Did he think she was a robot, having no feelings at all?
