The love she had had for him had disappeared in those dark days.Summer opened her eyes slowly, and it was already morning. The caretaker looked at her with concern. “Good morning, Ms. Hope. Do you want me to help you to the bathroom to wash up?” “Yes, please,” Summer said as she sat up. Only then did she notice that she had cried in her sleep. It was too painful for her to dream about the things back then. After washing up, a nurse came in to change the dressing for her wound before breakfast. Everything was so different compared to the psychiatric hospital. Halfway through her breakfast, an argument broke out outside the ward, followed by a fight. Summer frowned as she wondered what was happening outside. Someone suddenly barged into her ward, and the caretaker stopped him. However, some men restrained the caretaker. Summer’s eyes widened at the man who came in. It was Harry. Harry’s men had restrained the guards outside Summer’s ward, and Harry was slowly walking toward he
Harry’s eyes darkened. “So, you think that Nathan knows you well, right?” “Yes. Unfortunately, I didn’t understand him back then.” Summer’s eyes were filled with affection. By the time she truly understood Nathan, he was gone forever. Her words made Harry mad. He moved to her side and grabbed her jaw. “Summer, you're really shameless. Why did you agree to marry me when you think that he understands you the most? You two-timing me made me the joke of Lanford.” “You’re worse than me!” Summer coldly said. “You married Joyce a few months later after I was forced into a psychiatric hospital, then your child was born 4 months later. You guys even announced to the public that the child was born prematurely. I don’t need to tell you guys the truth, right?” Harry averted his gaze. He knew that he had made a mistake that he couldn’t hide from Summer. He was upset the night he had seen Nathan and Summer together, and he had met Joyce coincidentally. He knew that Joyce was in love with him,
“I’m here today to ask if you were… pregnant with my child or not?” Harry stared at Summer. Before her accident, Summer had called Harry to tell him that she was pregnant. He was excited when he heard that, but Nathan had died trying to protect her when they had gotten into the accident. He was enraged that they were in a car together. Everyone told him that Summer had cheated on him. The nurse had then told him that Summer wasn’t pregnant when he reached the hospital. Summer had lied to Harry. She might have lied because she was afraid he'd regret marrying her and she could marry into the Scott family. Harry had totally forgotten about this incident until recently. He wondered if she was hiding something from him or if she had been forced to lie to him. Summer stared at him, and her expression remained indifferent. “No, I lied.” Her child had passed away due to a difficult birth while Harry was being lovey-dovey with Joyce. Harry’s expression changed. “You’re such a liar. I
Harry hadn’t expected the man would be Jackson Valor from Solaria. He had heard about him, and he knew how powerful the Valors were in Solaria. It was surprising that a man like him would be involved in Summer's matter. “Mr. Valor, we meet again,” Harry greeted. Jackson smiled faintly. “Mr. Scott, I don’t think it’s a great idea to barge into someone’s ward like this. I’m afraid that your reputation will be affected if I call the police.” “I’m here to meet someone I used to know. I’ll make a move first since I’ve done so,” Harry said and glanced at Summer. “It seems that I made the right choice of not marrying you.” Summer forced a smile. “I feel the same.” Once Harry left with his men, Serenity quickly moved closer to Summer. “Are you alright? Did he do anything to you?” Summer shook her head. “He was just talking some nonsense to me.” She wasn’t bothered about Harry’s words at all. “I hadn’t expected him to barge into your room with his men. I’ll ask Jack to increase more m
Joyce had been restless for the past two days. It was almost the day of Summer’s diagnosis. She learned that Harry had gone to the hospital to visit Summer. She was worried that he still loved her. Once Summer’s diagnosis proved that she had a healthy mental being, the Hope family would be doomed. She had to firmly grasp the Scott family when that time came.Joyce took a deep breath and walked over to Harry. “Harry, I video-called Hayden today. He was outside having fun with his grandparents. He had a good time!” “Is that so?” Harry asked absentmindedly. Joyce pulled her nightgown lower to seduce Harry. “Hayden is seven years old now. I think it’s a good time to give him a sibling. He said he wanted to be an older brother during the call.” Harry chuckled. “You don’t have to take a kid seriously.” “But I think he’s right. Let’s have another child, Harry. Our family is too quiet. Besides, our parents are urging us to have another kid,” Joyce said softly.Even if she couldn’t have a
Harry thought of Summer’s bandaged forehead and pale face. He didn’t know why he was still thinking about Summer. He didn’t have any feelings for her anymore. He reminded himself that Joyce was his wife. Then, he closed his eyes and kissed Joyce, almost as if he was trying to shake off the distraction. “I love him now. I hate that it is too late for me to love him!” Summer’s voice echoed in Harry’s ears. Harry snapped his eyes open and stopped his movements. “What’s wrong?” Joyce asked in confusion. “I still have some work to do in the study. Go to bed first,” Harry said and pushed Joyce away. Then, he got up to leave. “Harry! Why won’t you touch me at all? Do you care about Summer that much that you even had to visit her at a time like this?” Joyce shouted.Harry stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Joyce. His gaze was so sharp that it made Joyce tremble. “You know I went to the hospital today?” “I… Someone in the hospital told me about it.” Joyce was embarrass
Not to mention, the missing ring finger on Summer’s right hand.As soon as these two reports were out, the public targeted the Hopes and the psychiatric hospital where Summer had been confined.The public left malicious comments on the official website of Hope Corporation and the hospital. There was even a witch hunt for Summer’s doctor. In the Hope residence, Donald threw his phone on the floor. The public was cursing the Hope family, especially him. They even said that he was involved in the death of his first wife. Donald was furious because no one had ever criticized him like that. Lana was also upset because the public had dug out the fact that she was the home wrecker of Summer’s parents. “What should we do, Donald? There are reporters outside, and they’ll dig up something that will affect our reputation soon. We have to think of something, otherwise, we will have to comply with Summer.” Donald said with hatred, “That brat is always stirring up problems for us, and now, she
Some of them speculated that she would probably go back to Harry. “Summer has nothing left since Nathan is dead now. She should get back with Harry!”“Summer was pretty back then, too bad she’s handicapped now. Harry could get anyone he wants, will he even take a glance at Summer?” “It will be funny to see the ex-fiancée as the mistress now.” “Joyce and Harry had a son. Summer can’t replace her easily!” Summer felt that it was ridiculous as she read these comments. She had never planned to get back with Harry. How could the public think of her getting back with someone who had abandoned her when she needed help the most?She didn’t love him anymore, and all that was left was hate.After a while, a bodyguard in his thirties came into the ward. “Ms. Hope, Mrs. Valor will be here soon. I’m here to escort you to the entrance. You can get into her car once she arrives.” “Great.” Summer nodded.The bodyguard helped Summer with her luggage.After she came out of her ward, there were an
