When I Met You

The thunders were clapping out there, and a huge downpour was basking the whole city in rain.

"Professor Hughes, I beg you, let me see Jarvis at least for once."

Susan couldn't stop slamming the car window as she shrieked, "I beg you, Jarvis and I are really in love with each other. I don't believe that Jarvis would just disappear without saying goodbye." After what seemed like a long time, the car window finally rolled down. At that moment, Susan was completely soaked with rain water.

A woman was frowning at Susan as she said, "Jarvis has gone to America. You should stop pestering him."

"How is that possible?"

Susan gaped at the woman in front of her incredulously, and her brows were tightly knitted, "How is that... Jarvis wouldn't just leave me alone here and go to America by himself."

However, Susan couldn't get any reply from Kendra even after waiting for some time. She could only force herself to calm down and force a smile on her face.

"Then... Professor Hughes, I beg you, tell me where Jarvis is staying in America. I have to find him."

She had to find him no matter what. She had something important to tell him!

"Jarvis doesn't really want to see you. That is why he chose to leave this place. You should stop your futile efforts."

After saying that, that woman rolled up the car window and ordered her driver to start the engine.

Susan stared at the car moving away from her but her mind couldn't wrap itself around that woman's words.

What had gone wrong between them? Why would he leave the country without saying anything?

They had a promise to honour.

After being in a relationship for four years, she had given herself to him too last month. They had promised each other to go overseas together and convince his mother to discard traditional thinking about marriage in order to get her accepted into his family.

How could this happen...

Susan mulled over such a thought, and after swiping away the water on her face, she broke into a run to chase after the car. She wanted to stop the car.

The car rolled to a stop once again when the woman saw Susan being so desperate.

The cold and aloof woman rolled down the car window once again and stared at Susan. Her voice was one of impatience, "You better go now. Don't plaster yourself all over Jarvis anymore." "Professor Hughes, I know you always object to me and Jarvis being together, but I beg you..."

Susan bit her lips and her eyes were shrouded in tears at the same time. After deliberating for a while, she then told the woman earnestly, "I beg you to consider the fact that I have Jarvis' child now. I hope you can let me see him at least once."

"Child?"

That woman snorted coldly, "I don't remember Jarvis touching you in the first place. How could you bear his child?"

"It happened... when you invited me to your birthday party in Thompson Hotel last time."

Although it was a difficult topic to broach, Susan still gnashed her teeth and decided to come out with the truth.

That night, it was Kendra's birthday. Jarvis was getting stalled by some matters at school, so she had to attend the party by herself first.

All the while, Kendra never paid any heed to her, but for some reason she was especially enthusiastic on that day. Susan couldn't refuse Kendra toasting to her, so in the end she had consumed way too much alcohol.

After that, Kendra had arranged for a room for her, and Jarvis had come into the room that night.

They had sex with each other.

She thought that that would become the turning point in her relationship with Jarvis. She thought that Kendra would slowly accept her.

In the end, it turned out that...

Kendra had mercilessly cancelled her research project at school, and she was also deliberately separating her and Jarvis.

"You're talking about that night? You were so drunk that night. I wouldn't know whose illegitimate child you're bearing now. Jarvis was in the lab all the time. He never went to Thompson Hotel that night. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance videos."

"What?"

Susan was in a daze when she tried to process Kendra's words. By the time she wanted to pursue this matter further, Kendra's car had already left.

She flopped to the ground and just let the rain water washed her tears.

The next day, when Susan came to herself in the hospital, she received a news published by her school. Due to some fabrication of data when she was carrying out experiment which had led to a major incident that stemmed from her newly developed drug not following protocols when launching to the market, she was fired by the school.

When Susan wanted to have a word with the management of the school about this, she suddenly remembered that all of her research data were handed to the management through Kendra's very hands. She didn't even have any evidence to support her claim.

After this incident, she would not be allowed to carry out any research regarding new drugs anymore.

It was over... everything was over.

Susan stumbled onto the streets, and all of a sudden, a car appeared out of nowhere and was careening towards her.

"There's an accident!"

She vaguely heard someone screaming in the distance, but all Susan could feel was an immense pain overwhelming her...[
