Chapter 1012 A Woman’s Fury
She had gone through hell to be reborn. Just when she could finally chase her dream and build her career up again, Tessa ruined her life once more. If she couldn’t play the violin, her position of concertmaster would be given to someone else. Just the thought of having the fruit of her labor destroyed almost led to a breakdown. “I don’t care! You’re healing my hand!” she roared. “If you can’t do it, then you can get ready to quit medicine!”
The doctor was upset, but he could understand where Susan was coming from. “Calm down, Miss Susan. It’s not like your hand can’t heal. Just work with us, and you’ll increase your chances of healing by a lot.”
He was being patient with Susan, but the fear of losing her violin career had taken over her mind. She wouldn’t listen to anything.
Rorian looked angry as well. He’s leaving an exit strategy for himself. An insurance. He warned, “You’re fixing her hand no matter what it takes. If you can’t do that, I’ll make sure you’re fired from the medical world, and I’ll ruin this hospital.”
The doctor was positively fuming, but Susan and Rorian were too powerful for him to fight. He told them he would try his best and left.
Susan was in her ward that afternoon when Hathaway called her. She had just returned from out of town and saw the news of her getting hurt, so she planned to pay her a visit. A while later, Hathaway entered the ward. She was in a blue women’s suit.
Susan was the only one there. Rorian left after he knew Hathaway was on the way. A frown furrowed Hathaway’s forehead when she realized Susan was alone. “You’re alone? Where’s your family? Where’s your caretaker?”
“Daddy’s at work, and the caretaker will only come at night.” Susan politely asked Hathaway to take a seat.
Hathaway nodded and got a chair to sit beside her. Looking at the cast on Susan’s arm, she asked with concern, “What did the doctor say? How long will recovery take?”
“At least three months, and I need to go through rehab after that. I can’t play the violin in this condition.” Susan was dejected. “The orchestra is probably going to switch me out for someone else.”
She wasn’t acting sad this time. Her vendetta against Tessa aside, she truly loved the violin.
Hathaway thought it was a bit too sad to see a young girl looking so miserable. “You can join my orchestra if Sofia gives you the boot. You’re always welcome here.”
“Thank you, Miss Hathaway.” Susan didn’t refuse. Hathaway Philharmonic was a good backup plan, after all.
She seems to be in a better mood now. Hathaway said, “Stop thinking about this and take all the time you need to heal. You can still perform after you’re all better.”
Susan nodded.
They talked a little more before Hathaway left.
Rorian came back not long after Hathaway was gone. “What did your mother say?” he asked curiously.
Susan answered coolly, “Nothing. Just offered me a spot in her orchestra if Sofia’s Symphony decides to kick me out.”
Rorian thought that was a good idea, but Susan wasn’t thinking about that anymore. She had already calmed down since the accident happened and made a decision.
I will kill Tessa and make Eunice suffer. She ruined my career. If I can’t be the concertmaster, then she can’t be the director!
“Daddy, I need you to look into someone called Eunice. She’s one of the members in the orchestra and the one who did this to me.”
The next couple of days passed calmly, but it felt like the calm before a storm. Tessa stayed at home for two days, and her rashes had all healed up, though they weren’t making any headway with the investigations regarding the accidents that happened during the performance.
