Chapter 0713
The message from the caller couldn't have been clearer: if Suzy wanted Diana to live, she would have to trade
her own life.
The phone wasn't on speaker, so Dylan couldn't hear the conversation.
Suzy had no intention of telling him what was said, even as he pressed her for answers. "What did they say?"
"Nothing important," Suzy replied, already heading for the door.
"Take care of Grandma. Make sure nothing happens to her!"
Dylan followed and grabbed her wrist. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going home," Suzy said, her gaze steady as it met Dylan's.
"I'll get Diana back. You don't need to do anything. Just stay here and look after Grandma. Understand?"
"I'll go with you—" Dylan began, but Suzy cut him off.
"No! Dylan, I've said this before-stay away from me! Diana has already beca victim, and next, it could be
Grandma. Do you really want all your loved ones to pay the price for your stubbornness?"
Of course, Dylan didn't want that, but he couldn't bring himself to let her go.
The thought of spending the rest of his life without her was unbearable, like a blade slicing through his heart,

Seeing his conflicted expression, Suzy hesitated before leaning in and brushing a light kiss against his lips.
Dylan froze.
The fleeting kiss left both of them with a hollow ache.
For Dylan, it felt like a farewell—a final goodbye.
Straightening up, Suzy looked at him, her eyes filled with sorrow. "Dylan, life isn't perfect. Everyone has regrets,
and we can't be selfish.
"If the rest of our lives together means building happiness on the suffering of others, could you live with that?"
Dylan clenched his fists, understanding her meaning all too well.
"l get it."
Seeing his reluctant agreement, Suzy's tears began to spill, rolling down her cheeks.
Her voice was hoarse as she said, "Take good care of Grandma."
Dylan's eyes reddened, his anguish barely contained. "I will."
Without another word, Suzy turned and quickly left the room, almost running as she disappeared from sight.

"Suzy, all | want is to be with you. Why does it have to be so difficult?"
He could feel it-Suzy had feelings for him too.
But she was carrying too much on her shoulders, and that made her keep him at arm's length.
He thought about disregarding everything, throwing caution to the wind, but...
As Suzy had said, he couldn't be that selfish.
This was his sister they were talking
about-the sister he had cherished and protected ever since their
parents passed away. And then
there was Grace...
The thought of them being harmed sent a wave of murderous intent surging through Dylan.
When he found the person behind all this, he would make sure they paid in the cruelest way possible.
After leaving the Wright estate, Suzy drove to the address the caller sent her.
The instructions were clear: she was to calone. If anyone else was involved, Diana would be killed on the
spot.
