Chapter 150 Childhood Covenant
"You really have bad taste, Susie. After all, I don't think you can find anyone that is better than me in this world," Julian boasted.
Susan was taken aback by his ego. It took a long while for her to come around. Then, she made a vomiting gesture and said, "Can you stop being a narcissist, Julian? I'm going to meet one of my childhood friends. He was very cute when he was a kid, so I'm certain that he must look more handsome than you now.
Maybe I'll fall for him."
"Please do!" Julian chuckled.
Susan was infuriated. She charged forward and bit his shoulder. Then, she stared at him and hissed, "Don't you love me anymore, Julian Shaw?"
Julian found Susan's grudgeful look a little cute. He forced down the urge to laugh at her and said, "Alright, I've got to go now, Susie. Remember to take care of yourself."
"Alright, alright," Susan replied poutingly. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Julian then turned around and left without saying anything.
"Ahh!” Susan threw herself on the bed and shouted, tossing and turning about on the bed exasperatedly.
'He is such a d*ck! Does he believe in me too much, or i s he too confident about his own charm? He probably thinks that my childhood friend is not as goodlooking as him.’
When Susan thought about the pretty little boy, she was looked even more forward to the meeting. 1
'Just you wait, Julian Shaw! I'll take a picture with my friend and show it to you to prove that I'm not wrong! Hmph!’
After thinking that, Susan could not help herself as she hummed a song out of pleasure while packing her stuff.
It took two hours to travel from Ningcheng City to Lin County. Susan planned to go there and back on the same day, and therefore she did not bring too much stuff with her.
Lin County. Midnight. At the secret base.
Standing under a tree, Julian could not help but smile.
He wondered how Susan would react when she found out that the pretty little boy she had been talking about was actually him. With that thought in mind, he continued to take flower bouquets out from the trunk o f his car and began decorating the scene.
He came here last night in advance because he wanted to decorate the venue. He wanted to make their meeting an unforgettable one.
The amount of work was huge, but Julian planned to finish it all by himself. He did not want anybody to interfere and spoil the best memory between him and Susan.
The night was getting darker, and Julian was still working like a busy bee.
The next day, just when Susan was about to depart to Lin County, her phone rang.
She took out her phone and answered the call, "What's the matter, Isa?"
"Susie," Isa said with a soft voice, "I remember today is the day you're going to meet the little boy, right? You are going back to Lin County, right?"
"Yeah," Susan replied as she put on her shoes.
"Well, it's been a long time since I last went back to our hometown, so I'd like to see what it looks like now. Could you bring me along?" Isabelle asked.
"Well..." Susan hesitated.
"What's wrong, Susie?” Isabelle queried, "I just want to have a look at our hometown. It's not like I'm going to stop you from meeting your little boy."
"That’s not what I meant..." Susan scratched her head," Forget about it. I'm heading out now. Where are you? I'll come and fetch you." 2
Truth be told, she did not want anybody to disturb her trip. However, since Isabelle called her, she felt a little embarrassed to reject her.
'Forget it. She’s just tagging along, it's not a big deal."
"Okay," Isabelle said.
After getting an address from Isabelle, Susan then hopped into her car and went to pick her up.
When she arrived at the location, she saw Isabelle was waving at her by the roadside.
Just as Susan was getting there, a truck suddenly made an emergency turn and cut into her lane. Her eyes constricted and she stomped on the brakes. Fortunately, she successfully stopped her car at the last moment and just grazed the truck. Be that as it may, the collision still triggered the airbag.
The truck did not stop and soon went out of sight.
Susan felt pain all over her body.
"Are you okay, Susie?" Isabelle hastily ran over to Susan, followed by several traffic police officers.
Susan's hands were shaking vigorously. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and got down from the car.
"Don't worry. I'm okay," Susan replied, her lips white.
It was such a close call. If she were late a little, she would've died already.
"Miss, can you leave us your phone number? We’ll help you check on that truck and we'll be in contact with you as soon as possible," one of the traffic officers said.
Susan gave him her phone number.
"Thank you for your cooperation, miss." After jotting down Susan’s phone number, the traffic officer said," Miss, you look really pale now. Do you want us to send you to the hospital now?"
Susan felt so dizzy as if she was walking on clouds, so she just nodded.
"I'll go with you," Isabelle said, "If it weren’t for me, you wouldn't have gotten into an accident."
Susan just gave her a weak smile.
In the hospital, the doctor came with the test result and said, "Miss Shelby, after the examination, your body parameters are good, but you have a slight concussion. As such, we suggest you stay in the hospital for a few days for observation."
Susan hesitated. Truth be told, she felt much better now. Besides, she had to return to Lin County today. She did not want to miss the date with her little boy.
”1 think I’m fine now. I guess I won't stay in the hospital," Susan replied.
"Well, we can't force you to stay in the hospital if you want to leave, but as your doctor, I strongly advise you to stay for at least one night in the hospital for observation," the doctor suggested.
Before Susan could say anything, Isabelle chimed in," Susie, you should listen to the doctor's advice. Your body is more important."
“But..."
"Susie, I know you want to go and meet that little boy," Isabelle gritted her teeth, "How about this: since I’m going back to Lin County, I'll help you go see him. If he shows up, I'll bring him to you. Even in the worst-case scenario, I can help you get his contact number. What do you say?”
Susan felt it was a good suggestion too. 4
Isabelle then added, "Besides, that little boy will feel bad if he knew you drove so far to meet him in your current condition."
Susan rubbed her temple and gave a bitter smile. Indeed, she still felt a little dizzy.
"Susie, don't think so much anymore. It's all my fault that this happened to you, so I have to bear the responsibility,” Isabelle said worriedly, "Don’t worry. If he really shows up, I'll bring him to you."
Susan's heart melted seeing Isabelle so worried about her. She finally gave in and said, "Well, I’ll leave it to you."
"Don't worry. This is what I should do," Isabelle said softly.
