The Wrong Woman

Suzanne picked up the phone, greeted by the soft voice of a woman

on the other end.

“Hi, Suzanne. It’s Sienna. Remember me?” the voice asked.

“Sienna?” Suzanne blurted out in confusion, causing Sally to tense up and anxiously eavesdrop on the conversation.

“I hope you don’t mind, but I got your number from your mom. I’ve really hit a dead end,” Sienna confessed.

Before Suzanne could respond, her phone was suddenly whisked away. Startled, she whipped her head around to find Sally holding it and shot her a disapproving glare.

Looking rather nervous, Sally retreated a step and abruptly ended the call. She then offered an apology, “I’m sorry, Suzanne, but Nathan and I are deeply in love.”

Suzanne eyed Sally suspiciously, wondering about her sudde behavior. Pushing down her anger, she reached out her hand a

demanded, “Give it back!”

Florence, witnessing the scene, was puzzled by Sally’s actions as well. She hurriedly rebuked, “Why did you do that, Sally? Suzanne was

on a call.”

Sally forced a smile at Florence and attempted to justify herself. “I-I just wanted to apologize to Suzanne. Their marriage couldn’t last since Nathan has chosen me…”

Disgusted by Sally’s words, Suzanne swiftly retrieved her phone. Sally attempted to grab it back but hesitated, realizing her efforts were futile in thwarting Sienna’s attempts to contact Suzanne.

After reclaiming her phone, Suzanne hastily left the living room, eager to distance herself from Sally’s deceitful actions.

Once outside the Morrisons’ residence, she dialed Sienna’s number. The call connected instantly, accompanied by Sienna’s tearful sobs.

“Suzanne, please. I’m desperate. We’ve spent everything on my father’s cancer treatment and are drowning in debt. Please, I need the money back,” Sienna pleaded. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Suzanne’s heart clenched at Sienna’s distress. Despite not

recognizing Sienna, she couldn’t help but be moved by the desperate

cries on the other end.

“I’m sorry, I don’t remember who you are. I’ve lost my memories, but I want to help…” Suzanne began, but Sienna interrupted with a loud

outburst.

“How can you be so heartless? We grew up together, Suzanne. We were best friends. I helped you with everything-homework hores. I even shared my pocket money when you were in need!

“Remember when you dropped out in ninth grade and strugg make ends meet? You ended up falling ill.

“I was the one who nursed you back to health and gave you 20 thousand dollars for your medical bills. In college, I worked odd ju to save another 20 thousand dollars only for it to end up in your

hands.

“You asked for so much, yet blacklisted me when I needed a small favor in return! Do you have any idea how hurt and disappointed I’ve been all these years?

“It took that much money for me to see the real you. I guess that’s money well spent on my part to end our friendship here. I wouldn’t have contacted you if I had any other choice to save my father.”

As Suzanne listened to Sienna’s grievances, tears welled up in her eyes. She had no idea the depth of their past friendship or the sacrifices Sienna had made.

If Sienna’s words rang true, Suzanne acknowledged she deserved a few slaps for her ingratitude and selfishness.

“Where is your father hospitalized, Sienna? I’ll come visit him,”

Suzanne hastily inquired.

Though taken aback by Suzanne’s sudden offer, Sienna provided the hospital’s address.

Suzanne then rushed back inside the house, changed her clothes, and hastily gathered her belongings before darting out the door.

Sally watched Suzanne’s departure with a cold glare, her mind racing for a solution. She couldn’t allow Sienna and Suzanne to meet under any circumstances.
