Chapter 113 It's Really a Close Call
After hearing her voice, Susanna turned around and Erica was indeed in her sight.
She probably couldn't figure it out if she came here to make trouble?
But how could she stay here, she certainly had to avoid her.
Susanna hurried towards Austin, feeling fortunate that he was still here.
Austin also saw Erica coming out from over there, with his heart racing instantly, he never thought he would be caught at this moment.
He had to protect Susanna!
Now was not the time to expose everything!
In the blink of an eye, Susanna ran over and sat in the passenger seat. "Austin, let's go quickly!"
"Okay."
Austin didn't ask much either, he stepped on the gas and left the spot.
Erica looked incredulously at the departing car, she was a bit stunned for a moment, wondering, 'was the man driving just now Austin, or did I see it wrong?'
She was shocked to recall the scene she had just seen, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it seemed, that was clearly Austin, she couldn't have mistaken him!
How could he be with Susanna?
Just now Susanna skillfully got into his car and left, it was obvious that they knew each other before and it wasn't their first meeting.
Suddenly a great panic arose in Erica's heart.
When did Susanna become so familiar with Austin?
Wasn't Susanna being be financially supported by a sugar daddy? Could it be that Justin introduced them to each other?
Erica felt a bit anxious, she immediately called Austin, but no one answered.
In the car, after Austin drove away with Susanna from that place, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Susanna requested to leave quickly, otherwise she would definitely find out the truth if Erica came up and asked.
Austin looked at Susanna in the passenger seat with some suspicion. "How did you come out so quickly?"
Susanna looked a bit embarrassed, she was almost discovered by Austin just now.
If Erica caught up, her relationship with Aaron would definitely be exposed. Today all six of her brothers were at home. Her brothers would definitely confront them if they knew she had been kicked out by the Abbott family.
Especially Edward, with his impulsive nature, would surely cause a scene.
Susanna sighed in relief, 'It's really fortunate it wasn't discovered.'
Austin and Susanna were both grateful for this.
Susanna coughed and replied, "Because everything here is basically set up, they will probably continue to watch here at night, but I have to go home for dinner, so I slipped away early."
She casually made up an excuse.
Austin nodded after hearing this, and asked in confusion. "But I heard someone was calling you when you were out."
He wanted to test the relationship between Susanna and Erica.
Susanna's expression stiffened for a moment. "Well, Austin, you know it's not easy to get along between the two parties these days. Anyway, there's no problem, let alone Dick being there."
Austin was skeptical. "The woman who was chasing you just now is the client you work for?"
"Yeah, she demands a lot, I can't be bothered to comply, it's annoying."
After hearing Susanna's words, Austin realized that she really disliked Erica.
After all, Erica's personality was indeed not likable, he knew from the beginning that they would never get along.
Now it seemed he was right.
Austin felt a bit guilty, closed his mouth and dared not continue asking.
Susanna also felt guilty, thinking if Austin continued to ask, she would have to come up with another excuse. Fortunately, Austin didn't ask further.
She glanced at the buzzing phone next to her. "Austin, your phone has been ringing, aren't you going to answer?"
Knowing whose call, he quickly explained, "It must be from the hospital, it's okay, I said I would be late."
Susanna nodded, and they both stopped the previous conversation.
She looked out the window at the scenery, thinking about the wedding scene she had designed herself, feeling a wave of irony.
Tomorrow is the day Erica and Aaron get engaged.
She lowered her eyelids, revealing a touch of self-mockery.
Although she had known this day would come, when it actually arrived, she felt quite lost in her heart.
When they arrived outside the hospital, Austin was parking the car. "Susanna, wait for me here for a moment, I'll finish up early and back home with you."
"No need, Austin, I have to go back to the studio. Why don’t we handle work separately and go home early for dinner tonight?"
Austin looked at her. "Don't push yourself too hard at work."
Susanna watched Austin walk into the hospital, then she took a taxi directly to the private hospital.
For some reason, she suddenly wanted to visit Maria whose surgery was scheduled for the week after the engagement.
.
Maria should be fine under the power of Erica’s brother, this was the only thing she felt grateful for at the moment.
She bought a bouquet of flowers to visit Maria, and when she entered the ward, she saw Maria reading a book on the bed.
"Grandma."
"Susanna, you're here, come to have a seat. You haven't visited me recently, are you busy with work?" Maria asked.
Susanna lowered her eyelids. "I have been a bit busy, along with a lot of school courses."
"Then don't push yourself too hard, you don't have to work so hard as long as Aaron worked hard to support the family. Just take care of yourself especially now that you're pregnant."
Susanna suppressed her complex emotions. "Grandma, I know. How have you been recently?"
Maria seemed quite concerned. "I've been doing well recently. It is you who I worried most, carrying a baby. When you get further along in your pregnancy, Susanna, listen to me, don't go to work at the studio."
Susanna touched her abdomen, "Okay, I promise you."
By that time her belly was too big to hide, she planned to go back to Novaria with her brothers.
Planning to give birth in Novaria, she knew the distance would keep Aaron from uncovering the truth. Aaron and Erica were already married by that time, so he probably wouldn't come to investigate her.
They chatted for a while, and the door of the ward was pushed open, a chill breeze swept in.
Susanna turned around and saw the familiar figure walking in, she paused for a moment, not expecting to meet him here again.
Maria was very happy. "Aaron, why are you here too, are you here to take Susanna home?"
Susanna silently pulled her gaze away, but not before noticing his entrance. His shoes, familiar and specially handpicked by her, were not from a big brand, but boasted comfort.
He had donned them once, but never again since then.
She thought he didn't like them because they weren't a big brand and hadn't bought anything again.
But she didn't expect him to bring out and wear these shoes again.
She was finding it increasingly difficult to understand him.
Aaron stood beside her, speaking with calm tone. "Grandma, how are you feeling today?"
"I'm fine, seeing you both makes me feel even better. Aaron, you're doing well, no matter how busy you are with work, take care of Susanna. After all, she's pregnant now!"
After Maria finished speaking, she held their hands together.
