Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 761

Susan's face fell.

Meeting the man's probing gaze, she snapped to her senses and forced a smile. "Ryan, you've misunderstood. How could I covet things that don't belong to me? It's just... Carter's health is poor, and he needs money for treatment. We also need to live…"

"Don't worry, I've set aside money for Carter's treatment, and I haven't forgotten about Lennon and Crystal's medical expenses. As for our life, you said yourself that even if I wasn't a Lancaster, even if I didn't have a penny to my name, you'd love me just the same—were those just empty words?"

"Of course, of course not!"

"Good." Ryan smiled faintly, his inscrutable eyes fixed on her. "From now on, just think of me as an ordinary person. We'll live the way other ordinary people do. There's no reason they can survive and we can't."

"Besides, aren't you always bothered by people misunderstanding and looking down on you, thinking you're only with me for my money? Well, now you have the chance to prove them wrong, to show them you're not that kind of superficial woman, right?"

Susan struggled to force a smile. "...Yes."

Though she said that, her expression turned dazed and her heart sank the moment she turned her back to Ryan.

After parting with Ryan, she couldn't even manage a smile on her way to the hospital alone.

When she arrived at Lennon's hospital room, Crystal and Carter were both there.

Crystal was sitting by the bed talking to Lennon, but Carter stood alone by the window, quiet and silent, as if detached from the world, not speaking to his siblings.

—He'd never been close to Lennon or Crystal, even as a child.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Crystal asked, noticing Susan's expression. She was practically bubbling with excitement. "I heard that woman finally divorced Dad. Isn't that great news?"

"Have you and Dad talked about it? When are you getting your marriage license? Are you going to have a wedding?"
