EX-husband Groveling to Me

Chapter 252 I Am Terrible

According to Rosa's information, Dora and her family rented a house in a suburban village.

After nearly an hour and a half, Suny reached the village.

This place was less fancy than the downtown area though, it was still better than she imagined.

Suny parked the car and asked several families before finding out where Dora lived.

It was a non-elevator building, so Suny had to walk six floors up in the sizzling summer.

When Suny reached the sixth floor, her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

She looked at the house number and turned to the left of the stairs.

As soon as she approached the door, a strong smell of disinfection barged into her nose.

She then knocked on the iron door of a house from where the smell spread out.

A woman pulled the door open, and she looked really like Dora.

Suny guessed she was Dora's mother, Jane Woodbury, so she greeted through a genuine smile,

“Hello, Mrs. Woodbury, I'm Dora's friend from college.”

"Bugger off! Dora doesn't have any friends!"

Before Suny finished speaking, Jane suddenly shut the iron door.

Suny quickly raised her hand to stop it. “Ma’am, you got me wrong. My name is Suny. I’m really Dora’s

friend, really. Please tell her I’m Suny Holland, please.” Suny sounded sincere and gentle. She had

taken off her guard and Jane believed her, but she couldn’t let her in. A few days ago, Dora committed

suicide again when she was stimulated.

So, she had to ask Dora. "Wait a minute. I’m going to ask Dora."

Jane seemed to be off her guard even though her expression remained unchanged.

Suny took her hand back and let Jane close the door.

Suny was waiting outside, but Dora's neighbor went up and down, scanning her face like a hunter.

These men had probably never seen such a beautiful woman in their lives.

Suny ignored them, and soon, the iron door was opened again.

This time, she saw Dora behind the gate.

Five years after graduation, Suny never met Dora, who turned into a different person now. Suny saw a

dark world in Dora’s eyes. "It's you, Suny!" Dora sounded a little surprised to see Suny.

She said, taking a step back, "Do you want to come in?"

Then she paused, "Or, we can go to the café downstairs.”

Suny said through a smile, "Okay."

Dora was about to get change and take Suny downstairs, but Suny already walked in. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The living room, which was only four or five square meters, was narrow and stuffy.

Suny finally found a small stool to sit down on. Dora noticed her uneasiness and said, “I'm sorry. The

room is packed.”

Suny shook her head no. "It's okay."

Dora sat down beside her.

Jane came out with a teapot to pour tea for them. “Miss Holland, please forgive my rudeness. I thought

you were Dora’s those mean friends. There were two women, dressed up nicely, who visited Dora a

few days ago, but when I let them in, they said something really mean to Dora. Those were Dora’s sore

spots!” Jane said through tears.

Probably feeling embarrassed, she quickly wiped her tears, “Miss Holland, no offense. I’m old. I just like

to talk nonsenses.”

"Mom…"

“I will leave you guys here. Will Miss Holland stay for lunch?"

Suny beamed at Jane while saying, "Okay."

Jane was happy to know that, "Well, I'll cook."

The sound of chopping vegetables soon came from the small kitchen.

"Suny, you still look stunning."

Suny pursed her lips thoughtfully, "And you’re still adorable."

They were just classmates before Dora found out about Bently’s evil plan, and Suny probably wouldn't

even remember what Dora looked like after all these years.

So, they fell into a short silence.

Dora had been working in the bank after graduation. Over the past two years, she just made a living.

But unluckily, she married a scum. After that, things were difficult for her. She couldn’t move on from

the past and as it were, she got severe depression.

After a moment of hesitation, Suny said, “Actually, I need your help.”

"Suny, I'm sorry. Look at me! There’s nothing I can help.”

Suny said through a grin, "Of course, you can. Remember the State Comic Competition? You won the

second prize.”

Being a cartoonist had always been Dora's dream, but her dream and life were on the brink of collapse.

The smile didn’t leave Suny’s face, and she continued, “I owned an entertainment company. We buy

royalties sometimes. Have you heard about that? So, this year, my friend and I plan to invest in a novel,

A Love Poem.

Dora's eyes lit up with intrigue, "I've read this novel. It's good."

“The camera is rolling, but I still want to make it a comic book. We’re looking for cartoonists, but none

of them were satisfying.

Suny paused and then continued, “I was invited to a symposium a few days ago. The bulletin board

reminded me of you, who won the second place in State Comic Competition. Remember the school put

that news out all day and night? I think you are very fit for A Love Poem. You know, one text, a

thousand interpretations. Since you have read this novel, you must have your own read into it. So, I

want you in.”

"Well, I know this may be difficult for you."

As Suny’s voice fell, Dora suddenly burst into a cry.

"Suny, I look terrible now. Really, I don't know why I look like this. But I’m just a mess."

Dora felt she was alive when Suny brought up her dreams.

But she was really a mess.

Suny pulled Dora’s fingers off her face one by one and wiped away her tears with a tissue. Warmth

filled her and this was the first time she saw the good side of the world.

Over the past six months, she had felt more than once that she should not live in this world.

"Can I help you, Dora?"

Suny's gentle voice lingered in her ears, and Dora looked up at Suny's gorgeous face, “Suny, I'm

terribly sick.”

"It's okay. I'll find the best doctor for you."

"It won’t change anything! Suny, they have been haunting me like snakes. They won’t let me go, Suny!"

"Who are they?"

Dora remained silent, and then, she screamed hysterically. Probably she was experiencing depression.

Jane heard the screech and scurried out, pulling Dora closer to her chest, “Dora, I’m here. It’s okay.

Please don't be like that!”

Suny watched this and her throat tightened.
