Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth

Chapter 1045 Carol'S Visit

Chapter 1045 Carol's Visit

Manuel watched as Besse appeared too cold towards Oscar. If it were anyone else, regardless of their

feelings towards Oscar, they would have shown gratitude to their saviour. Besse's attitude made

Manuel doubt her sincerity.

Besse could feel Manuel's scrutinizing gaze on her. She knew that Manuel was a thoughtful person

who tended to overthink things, but she didn't want to explain herself.

"I'm tired and need some rest." Said she.

Manuel withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly. "I'll go check on Oscar. If Susan wakes up and asks for

me, please let her know."

"Okay," Besse replied as she went back to her room.

Manuel couldn't help but speak up, "Is there no way to let go of the past?"

Besse sat in silence for a moment before answering, "No."

Manuel had nothing more to say as Besse closed the door behind her with a slight change in

expression on her face.

Back at her bed, with dimmed lights that should have helped lullaby one into sleep easily, Besse found

herself unable to doze off since she had slept too long in the afternoon. Memories from the past kept

flooding back relentlessly.

The next day Susan woke up confused about where she was until she saw Besse sitting half upright

while eating breakfast beside her bed. She turned over.

"Slow down." Besse reminded her.

"When did you come back last night?" asked Susan

"Probably around 2 or 3 am."

"You're back late." Susan muttered, "No wonder I fell asleep."

"You were sound asleep when I got back. Manuel was by your side."

"And where is he now?"

"He went to be with Oscar."

"Is he dead?"

Besse chuckled lightly at how straightforward yet tactless sometimes Susan could be. If Theodore

heard this curse directed at Oscar he would probably jump out of his skin.

"No, he woke up last night."

"Did you wake him up?" Susan had a strong ability to accept things, whether they were good or bad.

"He woke up on his own, I just happened to be here."

"Just happened?" Susan didn't believe it and couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems like Oscar is really..."

"Are you hungry?" Besse interrupted her words.

Susan knew that Besse didn't want to hear about this. After all, she was engaged and naturally didn't

want other emotions entangled with her.

Susan nodded. "Yes, I'm hungry."

"I had the caregiver prepare breakfast for you. Go wash up and come out to eat."

"Okay."

"Be careful and don't slip in the bathroom."

"Why do you think I'm so reckless like Manuel?"

But that was true-she had been like that since she was young.

Besse smiled.

After washing up, Susan sat at the small table eating breakfast alone without Manuel by her side.

Somehow, she felt the food tasted bland without him there.

"If you want Manuel to have breakfast with you, call him." Besse reminded her.

Susan was startled. Did she show it so clearly?! Besse wasn't even familiar with her yet somehow she

could tell what was going on inside of her.

"But I guess Manuel is sleeping right now since he probably didn't sleep much last night," Besse

added.

"Who says I want him here? It's just that I'm not very hungry after waking up." Susan replied

defensively while thinking otherwise inside herself.

After they finished eating. There came a knock at the door, which made them both look towards it NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

simultaneously. They saw Queen Carol, the queen of Jolencami, the boss of Karami, and also, Doyle's

mother.

Susan's eyes widened as she had only seen Carol on television before this moment. Her elegance and

beauty were no less than what one would expect from watching television. Even someone as fearless

as Susan felt overwhelmed by such an imposing aura emanating from Queen Carol.

Susan couldn't help but turn towards Besse, who seemed unsurprised by her arrival. Besse remained

calm as she sat on the hospital bed. She showed no signs of fear and maintained direct eye contact

with her. "Your Highness," Besse politely greeted Carol.

Carol nodded in response, and there was a coolness between the two women. They did not try to

please each other or assert dominance over one another; they simply respected each other.

Susan observed them and felt inferior in comparison to their confidence and poise. Whenever she

encountered someone too dominant, she would back down.

"Who is this?" Carol asked Besse, referring to Susan.

Susan felt nervous and unsure of how to respond when Besse calmly answered, "She's my friend from

Northfield, who helped me during Doyle's accident."

"I see," Carol nodded at Susan. "Thank you for saving Doyle and Besse's lives."

"It wasn't just me. Oscar played a significant role." Susan replied nervously.

"I've heard about him, and I plan on thanking him personally."

"Mrs Johnson, could you give us some privacy?"

Susan didn't dare refuse the request as she stood up to leave but glanced back at Besse before exiting

the room. Despite feeling that Besse was just as impressive as Queen Carol, Susan couldn't shake off

an uneasy feeling about her presence.

As soon as Susan closed the door, she heard a loud slap sound coming from inside it. She turned

around immediately but was stopped by one of Queen Carol's bodyguards stationed outside the door.
