Chapter: 978

Nancy wore a white and pink dress, looking both delicate and ‘Luxurious.

She fidgeted with the hemline of her dress and said nervously, "Mom, is it alright for me to wear this? It's Susanna's dress. She might get upset when she sees me."

She bowed her head, feeling a bit self-conscious as her feet shifted uncomfortably.

"I shouldn't have worn this. Never mind, Mom. You should go see Susanna alone. I'll wait here."

She sat down on the chair by the door and looked up obediently, which tugged at Kayla's heart.

“I brought you here to see Susanna. It's been over a week since you last saw each other. Her anger must have subsided by now."

Kayla gently stroked her hair, feeling a pang of sympathy.

“Besides, I asked you to wear this dress. You look absolutely stunning. Don't worry. If Susanna is upset, I will explain it for you."

Kayla saw nothing wrong and escorted Nancy inside.

In Susanna's ward, Matteo was inspecting items on the couch, while Phillip and Joanna sat at the bed's edge. When the door opened, they all turned to look.

At first, Susanna was smiling, but her mood changed abruptly when she saw Nancy in her dress.

“Mom, why did you let Nancy wear my clothes?"

Matteo's expression turned to a frown. He was surprised that Kayla had not taken a lesson from their last argument and had brought Nancy here, possibly upsetting Susanna again.

Following Kayla, Nancy clung to her hand quietly and said nothing.

Kayla gestured dismissively and replied, “It's not your clothes. It's a new dress. I would not make Nancy wear your clothes."

Approaching the bed, she examined the haggard Susanna and said, “Don't get mad, Susanna. You've been through a lot."

She tenderly touched her face and added, “You need to focus on getting better. I'll be here for you."

"You'll recover, Susanna," Nancy whispered.

Susanna looked up to see Nancy still dressed in an identical dress to hers. Even though it was a new dress, it still made her uncomfortable.

“Leave me alone. I don't want to see you right now.”

Tears welled up in Nancy's eyes immediately. She stepped back, nearly losing her balance. "Mom, I knew I shouldn't have come. I should go now."

Before anyone could respond, she hurriedly left the room.

After a brief silence, Kayla asked, “Susanna, what happened to you?"

Then she followed in Nancy's footsteps and left.
