Susan received the lilies from Nick and walked to the bed. When she handed them to Felicia, her tone carried sarcasm. "Miss Queen, remember to be careful the next time you cross the road. Thankfully, you only hurt your leg this time. Otherwise, it will be too late for regrets."
The lilies were stuffed into Felicia's arms and her eyelids jumped twice.
Why didn't this sound anything good at all?
Although unhappiness was hidden in her eyes, Felicia accepted the flowers. She placed them next to her bed and nodded seriously. "Susan's right. Indeed, I was careless this time. I didn't expect such a thing to happen to me when I've been back for less than a week. It looks like this state isn't suitable for me and Pab. Don't you think so?"
Both their words had hidden meanings and Tom and Nick understood them clearly.
Tom, who was sitting on the wooden chair beside the bed, frowned. He looked at Susan disapprovingly. He was about to say something when his shoulders sank. From the corner of his eye, he saw Nick say, "Let's go out for a walk?"
Tom's face sank. He was about to reject when Felicia's voice traveled over. "Pab, take a walk with Mr. Chapman outside. It's not nice for you two men to be sitting by the side when Susan and I are chatting."
"Alright. Take care then."
Tom glanced at Susan warningly, as if she was a vicious wolf-witch and Felicia was the weak Little Red Riding Hood.
Susan pouted mockingly and watched the two of them leave. The half-open door was concealed and the sound of footsteps could be faintly heard in the corridor behind an inconspicuous gap.
In the ward, after a brief moment of silence, Felicia broke the silence. "Susan, I've heard Tom mention what happened on the Internet yesterday. I'm really sorry. I didn't expect netizens to misunderstand you over my accident."
The corners of Susan's lips curved into a smile. She touched the lily petals and said coldly, "If no one had deliberately misled things, even if netizens had the ability to reach the sky, they wouldn't have put the blame on me, don't you think?"
Felicia's look stiffened and her face became pale. A flash of guilty conscience could be seen. "Susan, you wouldn't have thought that I deliberately said something, right? I really… ouch…"
Before Felicia could finish her words, as she was eager to prove herself, she moved and seemed to have hurt her leg injury.
Her face turned pale instantly and sweat appeared on her forehead.
Seeing this, Susan sighed. She handed her a piece of tissue. "Don't be agitated. You're still injured. There are only the two of us in the ward now. If anything happens to you, I will be criticized by everyone again!"
"Susan, actually, I know you've always misunderstood me. Back then what happened between you and Tom, I can only apologize. After all, in relationships, there's no order of arrival. We can only recognize each other as our better half."
What she meant was that Tom recognized her and thus, it served Susan right to become a joke?!
Susan looked at Felicia and was amused. She waited for her to finish and laughed lightly. "There are no outsiders here. Is there any point playing the miserable heroine in front of me?"
"You… what do you mean?"
Felicia looked at her in shock and a trace of embarrassment flashed past her face.
"Felicia Queen, back then when you took Tom away, you sent me a short message to boast about it. You still remember, right? You were so much smarter and prouder than you are now!"
"What do you want to say?"
Perhaps she sensed that Susan had no intention to be polite towards her. Felicia's face changed and she kept her hypocritical act. She asked with an annoyed look.
