Chapter 44

Two days had passed in the blink of an eye. Since the night Austin had taken her to the barbecue joint and dropped her back, he hadn't returned home. Suzanne thought he was just busy and didn't give it much thought. At this moment, Suzanne had just walked out of the largest stall in Coniston Herbal Wholesale Market. She was surveying her surroundings. Merchants selling herbs hustled through the market, pushing carts laden with bundles of various herbs. The market was bustling with activities. Suzanne smiled. She had finally gathered all the ingredients she needed. Suddenly, her phone rang, and her expression immediately darkened. It was Mandy again. Without hesitation, Suzanne hung up the call, but it rang persistently a few more times. Eventually, she answered. Before she could speak, Mandy's voice on the other end was filled with tears. "Suzanne, your dad has suddenly fallen seriously ill and is bedridden! You need to come and see him!" Suzanne's face immediately turned pale.
