The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 529 I Want Susan To Live More Than You Do

Julian looked at Susan with a hint of jealousy in his eyes. "That's it? No more?"

Susan knew what Julian was talking about. She chuckled internally but pretended that she did not get it. "Yeah, that's it. Did I leave anybody out?”

Looking at the mischievous light in Susan's eyes, Julian gnashed his teeth at her. He raised his voice and asked through a hushed tone, "How about me?"

"You?" Susan blinked her eyes. "You are my husband."

She swirled her eyes around swiftly and refused to say the sentence that Julian wanted to hear.

"Susan Shelby!" Julian could not hold himself anymore. Grabbing Susan's hand, he moved it towards his mouth and nibbled on it.

Startled, Susan quickly withdrew her hand out of his mouth and said, "Are you a dog?"

Julian paid her no heed. He grabbed her hand and attempted to bite it again.

"You are the CEO of a company. Don’t you think you're a little childish for behaving like this?" Susan continued to avoid Julian.

However, Julian did not plan to let her go at all. He kept pressing on Susan, and she soon ran out of breath after evading his assault several times.

"Stop, stop, stop." She stretched her hand to stop Julian. Her face turned red in embarrassment as she said, “I'll say it. I'll say it, so stop it!"

"What are you going to say?" Julian looked at her.

Susan took a few breaths, and as her face turned redder, she then said gently, "There is one more person who is more important than my life. Even though we are not related by blood, we are connected through our souls."

Pain flashed across Julian's eyes, but his voice was gentle. "And who is this person?'

Susan could not help and stare at Julian.' You don’t know who it is?"

"I want to hear you say it," Julian replied in a hoarse voice.

Susan rolled her eyes at him, and then said, "It's you! It’s you, Julian Shaw. Are you happy now?"

Yes. I'm very happy now." Julian pulled Susan into his embrace without any warning, stunning her. She tried to push him away, but he would not budge no matter how hard she tried.

"What's wrong, Julian?" Susan felt weird. Julian had been behaving oddly recently.

"Nothing. Susie, I'm just too happy. It means a lot to me to hear you say that." Julian hugged Susan tightly so that she would not see the sadness in his eyes. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You..." Susan was caught between laughter and tears.

'It was just a simple sentence. What did he have to be so happy about?' Susan wondered.

"Susie, what would you do if I betrayed you one day?" Julian asked.

Susan blinked her eyes and replied, "I've told you before. If you betray me, I’ll turn away and leave you without any hesitation. Even if you're more important than my life to me, I'll cast you away just like an old shoe if you betray me once. I’m willing to reconcile with you this time because there is nothing between you and Willa, and you did give me a satisfactory answer regarding Mom’s issue. If there is really something between you and her, I'll never forgive you."

Julian froze.

"Hey, what happened? Did you hide something from me again? Julian Shaw, I remember I told you before I don't like you hiding from me." Susan pushed Julian.

Julian thought for a moment, and then he pushed Susan away slowly. "Susie, I..."

However, before he could say anything, a sudden sharp pain shot through Susan’s head. Her vision became blurry, and she almost fell down.

"What happened, Susie?” Julian asked nervously.

"I'm fine. It's just..." Susan's lips turned pale, and sweat began to roll down her forehead like raindrops.

Julian's expression changed. He was holding Susan's hand, so he could sense the sudden rise of temperature in her hand.

Willa was not lying at all. The virus indeed re-emerged after a week.

Susan wanted to say something to Julian, but her condition did not allow her to do so. As her body temperature continued to spike, her vision hazed over and she sank down in a deep faint.

Julian quickly held Susan's falling body in his arms. He was so anxious that his body was shaking uncontrollably.

Previously, when Susan was having a high fever, he could not do anything other than watch her anxiously from the other side of the screen.

Right now, even though he was physically in front of her, he still could not do anything other than hold her helplessly in his arms.

Julian scooped her up and then planted a light kiss on her burning face.

‘Susie, you can hate me and resent me all you want. I just want you to live.'

Carefully and slowly, Julian moved Susan back to the bed.

The medical staff hastily rushed in, but Julian knew there was nothing they could do. They were already at their wit's end last time, so it would be the same as well this time.

He took one last look at Susan and left the wad.

He found himself a deserted corner and made a call to Oliver.

Before Oliver could say anything, he said," The virus... has returned."

Oliver's breathing grew heavy.

"Tell Willa that I agree to her condition," Julian continued expressionlessly.

"Are you going to agree to her condition? But Julian, if you..." Oliver said anxiously, trying to make Julian change his mind. However, before he could finish his sentence, Julian interrupted, "Susie can’t last any longer.” It made Oliver swallow the rest of his sentence back into his stomach pit.

Oliver relapsed into silence. After a long while, he then said disappointingly, "Okay.

I'll tell her." "Thank you, Oliver. Tell Willa that TH go find her after Susie is out of danger," Julian said.

Oliver did not say anything anymore as he did not know what he should say at all.

A deep sense of despondency flitted across Oliver’s eyes after he hung up the call.

None of the torture experts were able to make Willa speak. He felt like it was his fault for putting Julian and Susan in such a dilemma.

Oliver's mind was very clear in that Julian would be the one getting hurt the most for making such a decision.

However, humans were selfish. Susan was his family, so he could only choose to let Julian suffer so that Susan could live.

After hanging up the phone, Oliver entered the interrogation room with a cold face.

Inside, Willa was being subject to all sorts of cruel punishment.

A deep hatred flared out of Oliver’s eyes as he stared down at her.

"You guys can stop now," he instructed, and all the torture experts immediately stopped.

After experiencing so much torture, Willa's face was bloodless. A faint smile appeared on her lips at this moment as she said in a confident voice, "I won, didn’t I?"

Oliver looked at her in disgust as he said," Give us the location of where you hid the special remedy. If you save Susie, Julian will agree to your condition."

Even though this was within Willa’s expectation, a triumphant grin still found its way to the corner of her lips. "I assume that the virus in her body has re-emerged, right? If he agreed to my condition earlier, she wouldn't have to go through the pain again."

"Stop your nonsense. Tell me where the special remedy is." Oliver went forward and picked her up by her collar. "If anything happens to Susie, I won’t let you get away."

Willa scoffed, "Don't worry, nobody wants her to live more than I do. She is my only bargaining chip. If she died, I wouldn't have anything to threaten you with anymore."
