“We’re done talking.”
From the sound of it, Victor wasn’t bothered by the interruption at all.
At this time, Susan’s anger began to creep in.
“Victor, he…” What she wanted to say was that Joey deliberately interrupted them, but she stopped when Victor cast a cold glance at her.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she smiled with self-mockery.
What should she say? Should she say that Joey was lying? That he barged in on purpose and that he was not as simple and naive as he looked like at all? If she said so, what would happen? Would Victor believe her? Of course not.

With his hands in his pockets, Dr.
Turner looked down at Susan, who was a few inches shorter than him.
“Miss Salazar.”
A hint of hesitation was evident in his tone “Regarding what you askedthe last twe met…I can help you.
Hearing this, Susan looked up at him with an unreadable expression.
“How long have you been standing at the door?” In the ward, Victor finally told Joey that he knew the truth.

After all,
Susan had just finished speaking and was waiting for his answer at that time.
