The Wrong Woman
Chapter 34

Vera patted Suzanne on the back of her hand comfortingly. “Don’t worry. I’m healthier than you think.”

Suzanne breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness you’re fine! You scared me last night!”

Vera’s smile widened even more. “I’m not that fragile, you know. I need to recover as soon as possibleso that I can deal with that pesky third-wheeler for you once and for all.”

Nathan’s expression crumbled when he heard Vera’s words. He corrected her seriously, “Grandma,there aren’t any third-wheelers in

our marriage.”

Vera huffed in response. She sounded as if she was the one getting cheated on, judging from howfrustrated her tone was.

“Then what about that skank from last night? I refuse to believe that platonic friendships can existbetween a man and a woman!”

Nathan couldn’t refute Vera at all. He looked like he was about, but he forced himself not to sayanything.

Suzanne was tickled pink at the sight of Nathan looking so

speechless and exasperated. Then again, it was incredibly rude of her to laugh, so she dipped herhead and pursed her lips together tightly in an attempt to hold her laughter back. Even the corners ofher mouth threatened to curve upward.

Nathan’s gaze softened when he noticed Suzanne’s attempt to reel back her laughter. Meanwhile, Verapatted Suzanne gently on the

back.

“Chubs, I’ve already ordered a housekeeper to prepare new toiletries

for you. They’re on the bathroom counter right now. You should go wwash up and have lunch soon.”

“C’Okay,” Suzanne replied obediently.

AAfter that, she entered the bathroom.

Veera watched Suzanne’s retreating silhouette while saying wistfully, “I dolon’t care if she’s Suzanne orChubs. To me, she’s a wonderful woman who’s a good match for you. Nate, you mustn’t divorce herjustst because that woman told you so, okay?”

Natharan was exasperated, but he couldn’t risk angering Vera even more, delast her health declineagain. “Got it,” he replied.

Vera rottered her eyes at Nathan in slight displeasure. “Be honest with me. Do you tereally not likeChubs at all?” she asked.

Nathan moveved his chair closer to Vera. Then, he leaned over and answered, Grandma, I’ve objectedto your suggestion of marrying

Suzanne from thes start.

“It doesn’t matterewivhether or not you’ve mistaken her for Chub, you shouldn’t have forced us to marryback then. This is wrong. It’s also unfair to me and Suzatanne.”

Vera snapped, “Don’t change the subject. I’m asking if you ha feelings for her.”

Nathan pondered about the question seriously for a moment.

“She’s a wonderful woman,maddoubt. But I’ve only married her little-over a month, not to meridionwe’ve only spent a few days together as well. We barely knowwaach other, let alone have arelationship together.”

Vera advised sagely, “I know you’re a responsible man, Nate. Now that you’ve married Chubs, youmuststatake responsibility. Don’t ever treat marriage like a child’s game, and goou must never treat herlike

dirt.”

Nathan stroked Vera’s gray hair, adoration shining in his eyes. He could only nod helplessly inresponse.

“Got it, Grandma.”

Vera smiled happily in return. “Couples who go through thick and thin together will be together for life.You two must live happily ever after.”

Nathan was extremely helpless, to say the least. He had already promised Suzanne that he’d get adivorce from her right after Vera’s birthday banquet was over.

He had never gone back on his words.

At that moment, the entire Morrison family came to visit Vera, and they filed into the ward. In just a splitsecond, the atmosphere in the ward became lively.

Vera suffered from Alzheimer’s, so it was safe to say that she was very forgetful. As such, she couldn’tremember who the Morrisons were. When they introduced themselves, she had a vague inkling of

who they were.

“Mom, I’m your son, Gary. This is your daughter-in-law, Florence grandson, granddaughter-in-law, aswell as your great-grandch here to see you as well.”

Vera stared at everyone, clearly confused. She thought for a mon before replying, “My son’s name isAndrew.”

“Andrew was your youngest son, Mom. He passed away when he was ten years old. I’m your eldestson, Gary.”

“My… eldest son?”

“Yup! Your grandson is here too!”

Suffice to say, it was always a reunion whenever the Morrisons.

visited Vera. They had to introduce themselves every time they met.

Suzanne exited the bathroom amidst the chatter. She was stunned when she saw more than a dozenpeople hanging out in Vera’s ward.

Whenever Vera got hospitalized, Suzanne was always there to take care of her. The Morrisons werealready used to her presence.
