Chapter 26 To Everlasting Love With You
Chapter 26 To Everlasting Love With You
"Yeah, Susan Shelby." Charlotte looked strangely at Luke. "Brother, why are you so shocked? Do you know Susan?" she simply asked. After all, she did not think that her brother would have anything to do with Susan.
"I've seen her a few times when I was with Mandy." Luke suppressed his shock and pretended to answer calmly, "Mandy and I thought that she was one of Julian's women, but we never thought that...she'd be married to him"
'Susan...is married to Julian.' Luke suddenly found himself distracted.
He could hear a crisp voice in his mind.
"Luke, I feel really happy now, but I’m a little scared. D o you think that we can be together forever?"
"Of course. I, Luke Jenkins, will not want anyone else besides you."
"Hmph, you're such a sweet talker."
"This is not sweet talking, Susan, I..."
'Susan.' Luke suddenly felt his head hurt.
'Why did such a conversation play in his head? Was it an illusion? If it was an illusion, why did it seem so real? If it wasn't an illusion, who was he talking to? Why did this dialogue not exist in his memories?’
"Hmph, I feel that Julian and that woman won't be together for long." Charlotte's indignant voice pulled Luke's mind back to reality. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"Why do you say so?" Luke asked.
"Because I found out that Madam Shaw doesn't really like her. It seems like she's only tolerating her because of some special reason. Sooner or later, I'll find out the truth. Also, Susan's history isn’t that clean. Before she got married to Julian, she was about to get married to her ex-boyfriend!" Charlotte said.
"Ex-boyfriend?" Luke's hand suddenly trembled.
He felt that the truth was about to erupt.
'I've investigated Susan’s information before but why didn’t I discover this?'
Charlotte nodded and said with a cold expression," Somebody tempered with something. It's difficult for some ordinary people to investigate Susan and her exboyfriend's relationship. I didn’t get anything at first, but I found a QQ account that she hasn’t been using. S o, I got a hacker to hack into this account and restore the deleted records in the account space. This woman is very cautious about her postings, but nothing can b e hidden from me. Based on one of these posts, I can conclude that she definitely had an ex-boyfriend and both of them were supposed to get married. Although I don't know who this ex-boyfriend is, his existence is beyond any doubt."
'Investigating her QQ account?' Luke was speechless. I t was evident that men and women had different thoughts about this. He tried investigating but got nothing. Charlotte changed direction and instantly got results.
Luke pretended to be casual. "Where are the records that you restored? Let me have a look."
"Here are the records." Charlotte took out a piece of paper from the drawer and passed them to him. "But, Brother, what do you need it for?"
"I'll check it out for you," Luke simply said and carefully kept that piece of paper away.
Charlotte nodded trustingly.
Luke went downstairs and drank the pear and fungus soup, then went back to his room and put the piece of paper on the table.
Susan did not really like to post, but this account had been discarded more than a year ago. There were only about 20 posts.
Luke quickly identified that particular post that Charlotte had spoken about.
The background was City Square. The huge fountain was spewing water droplets and in front of the fountain was a pair of hands held tightly.
There was a grass-weaved ring on the girl's slender finger.
Susan had written: "To everlasting love with you."
'To everlasting love...with you.’
Luke felt as though his heart had been hammered and he was in a daze. He felt he needed to remember something.
However, he could not.
'Why, why is it like this? What...actually happened?’
He felt that he should not continue looking for the truth.
However, he already had Mandy and their wedding day was near. Both families were greatly satisfied with their marriage while the union between him and Mandy also had everyone's blessings.
He should be happily waiting to be a groom and not waste his time on a woman he had met twice.
Luke slowly kept the piece of paper away and locked i t in his drawer. He felt like he was dreaming.
'Susan is Julian's wife. What kind of relationship can Susan and I have?'
Although he tried to convince himself, Luke’s focus did not move from the drawer which contained that piece of paper.
'Susan...Shelby...Who exactly are you?
After a day's work, Susan notified Julian and called a car to visit her elder brother.
Jacob’s condition was improving day by day.
Although he was still weak, he was more and more conscious. Not only could he remember Susan's name, but he was also slowly regaining his memory.
Susan sat beside him and looked at Jacob working on the computer.
"Susan." Jacob suddenly stopped.
"Hmm? Brother, what is it?" Susan asked with a smile.
"Look." Jacob moved the computer to her front.
Susan's eyes widened. There was only code after code on the screen.
Then, Jacob pressed a key, and the screen changed instantly.
The codes started to combine, and very quickly, the black screen was filled with various colors. Then, a burst of colors erupted on the screen.
Susan was dumbfounded.
The black screen was like the night sky. Those colorful codes were like fireworks. Soon, the display of fireworks finally turned into a few words: "Happy Birthday, Susan!"
"Brother..." Susan burst into tears.
“Susan, you're crying!" Jacob looked confused. "Don't you like it?"
"No, I love it." Susan wiped her tears away. She did not tell him that he had gotten the date wrong, that her birthday was still a week away.
Her brother was in a state of being half-awake and half -confused. It was a miracle that he could remember a date that was coming up.
"It’s great that you like it." Jacob’s face revealed a faint smile. He extended his arm and lightly wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes.
"Hmm, I like it, I really do." Susan's tears flowed incessantly.
In this world, the one who treated her the best was her brother. Therefore, she was willing to sacrifice anything for him.
She accompanied Jacob until he fell into a deep sleep.
However, Susan had to leave even if she did not want t o.
Once she walked out of the nursing home, the peace of mind she had while she had been with her brother slowly disappeared. At the thought of going back to the house where Isla Brown was, Susan felt inexplicably resistant.
However, she did not have any choice, did she?
