Chapter 754 Hanging Out

One year had passed.

"Phillip, hurry up. Joanna and I have plans at ten this morning," Susanna called out. She dressed in a light pink dress that accentuated her slender waist, complemented by sneakers of the same hue. Her

black hair cascaded down her back, framing her attractive features. Nancy opened the car door, assisting Kayla as she stepped out.

Their matching outfits gave them the appearance of mother and daughter.

"Where are you headed?" Kayla inquired, her brow furrowed as she approached Susanna. "It's been only a year since your recovery. What are you up to?"

Ignoring Nancy's presence, Susanna clung to Kayla's arm, her demeanor childlike. "Mom, I've rested enough. This is my first outing in a long while. Please

Kayla always had a soft spot for her children's pleas , let me go, okay?" Softened by her daughter's plea, she asked, "Who else is accompanying you besides Phillip?"

"Joanna!" Susanna replied. "Alright then."

Kayla nodded, turning her attention back to the task at hand. "Nancy and I came to deliver a concert invitation. If you are busy, don't worry about attending"

Behind her, Nancy offered a quiet smile.

During Susanna's critical treatment phase, an unexpected development occurred.

Nancy, in need of a heart donor, was matched with Susanna for heart compatibility. Amidst the chemotherapy, a rejection reaction put Susanna at death's door several times.

Kayla had once proposed that if Susanna did not survive, her heart should be donated to Nancy,

offering a semblance of continued life. However, Susanna recovered fully.

She never discussed this proposal in Kayla's presence and chose instead to maintain a distance from Nancy, feigning ignorance of the entire matter.

Even though Nancy had not found a heart donor, she had mastered the piano with Kayla's

encouragement and the guidance of a renowned international pianist. Nancy had excelled in two national piano competitions, securing a top-three finish in both. Her upcoming performance would mark her debut on a major stage, thanks to the extensive

resources Kayla provided. Susanna bore no jealousy. Her time in the hospital had given her perspective, especially following a

heartfelt conversation with Sean about her mother.

She resolved to be the dutiful daughter her mother wished for.

Phillip exited the villa, sporting a pink backpack over one shoulder and a pink suitcase in hand, opting for casual attire over his usual professional uniform, which lent him a more approachable look. Kayla watched him and advised, "Phillip, please look after Susanna."

Phillip nodded respectfully. "I will"

Susanna, bubbling with excitement, slung her backpack over her shoulders. Clutching Phillip's arm, she called out cheerfully, "Bye, Mom."

Nancy observed them with a mix of emotions. "Mom, is Susanna really dating Phillip? Is it really suitable for them, considering their social status disparity?" she queried, troubled by the thought that a woman from a wealthy background should ideally pair with someone of equal financial standing.

This was Nancy's first time witnessing Susanna and Phillip together, despite having only heard about their relationship from Kayla.
