Throughout the rest of the journey, Susan did not dare to engage in a conversation with him.Instead, she pretended to sleep all the way.

I've humiliated myself in the most massive way ever.

Fortunately, lan did not bother about her. He found a book to his liking and started reading quietly.Perhaps the concept of electronic book was all too new to him, he was very focused.

Two hours later, they arrived in Jadeborough.

“Ladies and gentlemen, our aircraft has arrived at your destination. Please get ready to deplane.”

A soothing voice of the flight attendant made a landing announcement as the plane made its wayto the runway. At the same time, a sense of weightlessness came along and washed everyone over.Susan woke up to replace her head resting on lan's shoulder. I fell asleep? Oops, I did

She opened her eyes bigger and saw a wet patch on his blue shirt with white stripes.

She blanked out all of a sudden

Thump!

The landing was a rough one, resulting in quite a turbulence felt by all the passengers.

Right then, Susan wanted to wipe off the saliva marks on her face, but her effort was in vain. Sheswayed to the side, slid down from his shoulder, and fell into his arms.

What an ill-fated voyage!

A wave of colors flushed her cheeks at once. A faint fragrant from his body snapped her back to hersenses, and she quickly jumped up to her feet as though she was electrified.

“Um... I'm sorry, lan. I... dozed off just now.”

“It's okay.”

Coincidentally, lan looked down too, and their eyes met. Apart from his stiffened body, a tinge ofred crept up on his otherwise pale ears.

The young man grew up in an extremely comfortably and lavish environment. Due to his healthissues, his parents had never made him go for extra training like what they did to his brother.Hence, he had very fair and silky skin. It was totally not exaggerating to say that his skin was moredelicate than most girls.

Upon getting off the plane and exiting the airport, Susan felt much better.

“lan, shall we call a cab?”

“Nope, Mommy knows that I'm back. So, Mark is waiting for us outside.”

Striding ahead, he did not say much

Upon receiving his response, Susan trailed behind closely.

If Sasha had known about Susan's situation, the latter knew that she would not need to worry aboutanything. This was because the kind-hearted Sasha would certainly help her out.

She will definitely help Mom!

Just as they had both expected, Mark did not bring them back to Oceanic Estate when they gotback to Jadeborough. Instead, he drove them to the General Hospital.

“Your Mommy has brought the patient to the hospital the moment she received your call. Dr. Wallenis arranging for her check-up as we speak. Let's go and have a look.”

“Sure.” lan nodded.

Susan was moved to tears when she heard those comforting words.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the internal medicine department. Susan scanned around andspotted her mother coming out of the examination room.

She ran toward her. “Mom, are you okay? How are you feeling?”

Tears welled up in her eyes again when she saw her ill mother. She's not getting any younger. Fear,anxiety, and trepidation was written all over her face.

Sigrith said nothing.

Meanwhile, Sasha walked over and consoled the terror-stricken Susan, “Glad to have you back.Don't worry, Dr. Wallen says that the cancer hasn't reached its terminal stage. We just need to waitfor the report to be out and treat it accordingly with a surgery.”

Upon hearing that, Susan felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders.

“Thank you so much, Sasha. My brother and I wouldn't know what to do if not for you.”

“Don’t mention it, we're family. Why didn't your mom inform us that she's sick? Are we outsiders?She's my aunt and I'm your cousin-in-law. We're the closest kins, so please don't act like strangers.”Sasha was a little frustrated.

Susan did not know how to respond to the overwhelming concern and kindness that Sasha haddemonstrated toward her family.

She assisted her mother as she said, “You're right, Sasha. My Mom is like that. She doesn't like totrouble others. Rest assured that I'll remind her that we're family, and there's no need to feelembarrassed when asking for help, right?”

“Exactly! That should be the way.” Sasha let out a smug grin.

Soon, the test results were out. Thankfully, it was just like what Grayson and Sasha had suspected.Sigrith's condition was not that critical. Hence, everyone discussed and finalized the date for hersurgery.

“All right, I'll only return to campus after Mom's surgery,” Susan stated resolutely after making upher mind to stay and take care of Sigrith.

Her decision instantly fetched an objection from the lady host of the entire Jadeson family.

“Why do you need to do so? Is there no one else at home? The Jadesons are a huge family. We caneasily get two people to take care of your mother. There's no need for you, a student, to botheryourself with the nitty-gritty. You can return to campus with lan tomorrow."q
