“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
Donald wasn’t bothered about Summer's resistance. “People who are sick would usually deny it! I know that you’re mentally ill!” He had said. Summer had been in hell all these years because of him. She had known that Donald hated her, but she had underestimated human nature. As soon as Donald saw Summer approaching them, he immediately greeted her as a father would. “Summer, you’re finally discharged. I wanted to go to your ward just now, it’s great that you’re here. I’m happy that our hard work in treating you didn’t go to waste. Let’s go home. Your mom asked the servants to clean up your room every day. She’s been looking forward to your return!” “My mom?” Summer snickered. “My mom passed away when I was three years old. When did she come back from the dead?” Her words made the atmosphere awkward. Donald’s smile froze for a moment. He would have slapped Summer in private, but he had to pretend to be a good father in front of the reporters now. “Yes, that’s true, but your stepm
Joyce was hinting at those who had helped Summer. Summer looked at her coldly. “I trusted my family and ended up in such a mess while the outsiders are the ones who saved me and proved that there’s nothing wrong with me. Who should I trust?” “Summer, you’ve misunderstood us. You were really sick, and it was stated in the doctor’s report. There was more than one doctor who diagnosed you. It’s impossible for every doctor to make a mistake.” One of the reporters suddenly exclaimed, “Gosh! A doctor just confessed online that the Hope family bribed him back then! He just diagnosed Summer to have a mental illness without any examination!”“Is it true?!” “If that’s true, then it’s the Hopes who planned everything.” “There were already some speculations going around. It could be true that they locked a healthy person up for wealth and power!” Donald, Lana, and Joyce’s expressions changed when they heard that. The reporters immediately held up their microphones at the Hopes and continuou
