Chapter 344 Retch
Soon, Hannah and Miguel arrived at the spot.
Besides invited attendants, there were journalists from all media. Hannah and Miguel were both
arranged to be seated in the first row, where attendants from the Top Four families and officials-in-
charge from the Municipal Bureau of Land Management took their seats. That was to say, the Wells,
the Coopers, the Sawyers and the Phillips all attended.
“Hannah!” Susan hurried to yell at her, whose seat was nearby.
Hannah smiled decently to reply. Susan ran over to her, acting like an elegant lady who didn’t seem to
concern about her image.
“Hannah, so glad to see you here! I thought I would be alone to attend this boring meeting with my
father.”
Hannah told her to lower her voice. Those officials from the bureau were sitting right next to them.
Perhaps only Susan would be that bold enough to complain right in front of them.
“I wanna sit right next to you.” Susan pleaded.
After some consideration, she walked over to Edward together with Susan, “Hi Edward, may I ask if we
could exchange the seats? I wanna sit next to Susan. Maybe you can take the seat next to my father.”
“Sure thing. Hannah, please watch over Susan in case she acts indecently in this formal occasion.”
Edward stood up and said gently.
“Okay.” Hannah nodded.
Susan looked a bit annoyed. Hannah forced her to sit down, “Hey, behave yourself!”
“If he worries I will embarrass him, he should have let me stay at home. I don’t even wanna be here!”
Susan was badly complaining about her father.
“You gotta learn to understand your father. You are his only daughter to rely on. Of course he’s gonna NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
cultivate you into a capable heir. Now your father has divorced for your sake. Have you ever wondered
how lonely he feels?” Hannah tried to reason with her.
Speechless, Susan pouted.
During these days Susan worked with her father, and their relationship had been a bit better. However,
she found her father was indeed ageing.
She remembered how violently he coughed while making speech in a conference. She could clearly
see the gray hairs on both his sideburns. Susan told herself not to think about it. Meanwhile, she still
clearly remembered the moment when her mother passed away. She swore she would never forgive
her father for that.
At 3:00 PM, the meeting was started. After delivering a speech about the planning of the project, the
official announced the bidding process, to which Hannah paid full attention.
Susan couldn’t help wondering how Hannah managed to sit still in this boring meeting. She found
herself too impatient to stay still here.
The meeting lasted for an hour and a half. After it was over, all attendants and journalists started
leaving.
“Hannah, let’s have dinner together.” Susan clung to her.
“But I need to get down to the planning for the bidding.”
“You can leave it tomorrow. I heard Oscar had left the city. Don’t you feel lonely?” Susan asked with a
smile.
Since they were kids, Hannah found it hard to refuse Susan. Whatever Susan asked for, Hannah
always compromised if it didn’t offend her bottom line.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Hannah said to her father, who was talking with Edward, “Dad, I
won’t be back to the office. Susan and I have an appointment.”
Miguel replied with a smile. Of course, he could tell that they planned to hang out for fun.
“Okay, I will get back to the office then.” Miguel agreed.
“Okay.” Hannah nodded.
After saying goodbye to Edward, Miguel left.
Hannah called Jimmy here to pick them up. Since it was still too early for dinner, Susan suggested they
should go shopping first. Hannah agreed.
However, with her hand on her belly, Susan suddenly retched.
“What’s wrong?” asked Hannah.
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s just carsickness.” Feeling unwell, Susan answered.
“I don’t think you have carsickness.”
“Don’t’ you remember how drunk I was after Oscar’s party? The sickness still haunts me deep within
my stomach. I wonder if there is a stomach bug.”
“Have you gone to the hospital for a check?” Hannah asked.
“I thought I would recover in a few days. So I haven’t. I have a phobia for the hospital, where my mom
died…” while speaking, Susan felt like the memory still haunted her.
Holding her hand, Hannah felt sorry for her. She still remembered how sad Susan was when she
witnessed her mother’s death.
“Don’t be afraid. Let’s go to the hospital together.” Said Hannah.
“No. I don’t want to.” Susan refused.
“Listen to me!” Hannah said seriously.
“I am afraid I will be scared to death if there’s something wrong with me.”
“If there is something wrong with you, I will keep you from knowing it.” Hannah said frankly.
“Don’t jinx it!”
“Don‘t worry. The bad girl lives longer.”
Susan got speechless.
“Take us to the hospital.” Said Hannah to Jimmy.
“I said I don’t want to…”
“Don’t worry. You won’t die of disease.” Harrison interrupted.
“So what will I die of?” asked Susan.
“Stupidity.”
“Damn you!”
Of course, she wouldn’t believe Hannah could tell her future fortune.
The car soon arrived at the hospital. Susan was taken to a doctor of Gastroenterology & GI Surgery.
“When did it start?” asked the doctor.
“A week ago.”
“You didn’t turn to a doctor until today?”
“I was afraid of being diagnosed as having some kind of incurable disease.” Susan said frankly.
Both Hannah and the doctor were rendered speechless.
“How old are you?”
“Twenty-two.”
“Got a boyfriend?”
“Is it have something to do with my disease?”
“Just answer my question.” The doctor required seriously.
“No.”
“Yes, she does. She’s married.” Hannah hurried to explain.
The doctor took a glance at Susan, who looked away.
“How long have you been married?”
“Are you investigating me?” Susan seemed annoyed.
Hannah grabbed her hand to solace her. Then she spoke to the doctor, “For about more than two
months.”
“Have you ever taken contraceptive?”
Susan almost got choked, “What kind of doctor are you? How dare you probe into my privacy?”
