Chapter 192 Heartache
"What are you doing?" Susan asked, looking confused.
Dorothy sneered, "Wow, my own sister messing with my husband in my house. Just my luck."
"What are you talking about?" Susan's voice rose. The nanny was still in the kitchen, and Susan felt embarrassed.
"Nonsense? I heard everything. I saw it and heard it myself. How could it be fake?" Dorothy's eyes were full of anger.
Susan stepped back, trying to explain. "If you heard everything, you should know I was telling Henry to treat you and the baby well. What's wrong with that?"
Dorothy got more upset, stepping closer. "Henry and I were fine until you moved in, pretending to help. You know he used to like you. You should've kept your distance. You've made me anxious every day. You're doing this on purpose, playing hard to get. Don't think I'm stupid. You're really something."
Susan backed into the wall, shocked. "Dorothy, is that really what you think of me?"
"What else am I supposed to think? You were just hanging a diaper and managed to mess with Henry. You tell him to treat me well, but you're really playing hard to get. I know things didn't work out with Seb, but find another man. Henry's my husband. Are you trying to commit incest?" Dorothy cornered Susan.
Susan, who had always given in to Dorothy, felt tears well up.
Seeing Dorothy's fierce glare, Susan realized Dorothy had grown up and had her own thoughts. She couldn't control Dorothy anymore, and her explanations felt weak.
Susan felt a sharp pain in her heart, followed by a coldness spreading through her body.
After a long pause, Susan accepted the reality. Everything she heard was true, and it was all said by the Dorothy she had loved dearly.
She slowly said, "Dorothy, by saying this, you're not just insulting me but yourself too."
Dorothy was unmoved, looking away coldly. "I'm defending my family and my love. Everything I'm doing is justified. Now, leave my house immediately!"
Susan closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
She wiped her tears and, with a sob, said, "You don't need to drive me out; I was planning to leave anyway!"
With that, Susan turned and walked out.
She knew her relationship with Dorothy was almost over. After Dorothy's hurtful words, how could they still be sisters?
Susan entered the guest room, packed her things quickly, and dragged her suitcase out.
In the living room, she saw Dorothy on the sofa, holding baby Amanda.
Dorothy gave her a cold look and said, "Amanda, Susan's finally leaving. I hope she never comes back. Every time she's here, it's chaos. Now, we'll be happy with Daddy as a family of three!"
Susan frowned, heartbroken. She wiped her tears and stormed out with her suitcase.
In the elevator, she couldn't believe what had just happened. She grabbed her hair, the pain reminding her it was real. She and Dorothy had reached this point.
The elevator doors opened on the first floor, and there was Henry with a cake.
Susan's tear-streaked face hadn't dried. Seeing Henry, she quickly walked out, wiped her tears, and forced a smile. "You got the cake so fast?"
"There was a bakery right at the entrance," Henry said, noticing her suitcase and tear-stained face. "Where are you going? Have you been crying?" He grabbed her wrist.
Panicking, Susan pushed him away and stepped back.
"What's wrong?" Henry asked, confused.
Susan calmed herself. "Dorothy will be fine in a few days. I'm moving back to my mom's place; she needs help with her arm."
She tried to sound normal, not wanting Henry to know about the argument. It was embarrassing, and she feared he'd blame Dorothy.
Even now, Susan was thinking about Dorothy, which made her heart ache more. She had always given in to Dorothy, and it had become a habit.
Henry nodded. "Let me take you back."
"No need!" Susan shook her head quickly.
Henry frowned at her nervousness.
"I'll call a cab. You should go back up; Dorothy's waiting for the cake," Susan said.
Henry hesitated. "Did she say something to you?"
Susan frowned, pretending not to understand. "I don't know what you mean."
But she wasn't good at lying and turned her face away.
Henry's suspicions were confirmed. He sneered, "You don't have to cover for her. I know she sent me away to cause you trouble!"
