Harry's face changed. Summer then moved her wrist and tried to pull her hand out of his hold, but he grabbed her wrist very tightly and she could not break free."Didn't you say there's no point in wasting your energy on something useless? So what are you doing?" Harry mocked."Because it's unbearable," Summer answered. "I’m disgusted by your touch. It makes me nauseous."Harry tightened his grip. "Well, you'll have to bear it. I don't plan to let go, and struggling is useless."Summer flinched at the crushing grip he used. The grip on her wrist would probably leave a bruise. Even so, she was stubborn and refused to make a sound. She turned away and looked out the window, staring at the view of Lanford's streets at night. It was still so bright and dazzling, just like she remembered. Harry tightened his grip on her arm so hard. Those unaware of their story would have thought they were very close, but only she knew how much strength she needed to hold back the feeling of disgust.
The look on Harry's face changed. He leaned over and grabbed both her wrists, pressing her back against the back of the chair. "Bullshit? You think everything I told you was bullshit?!""Wasn't it? Harry, you see nothing but profit in your eyes. You don't know what love is!" Summer snapped. 'Don't know what love is?' Harry could not believe what he had just heard. It was exactly because he knew, which was why he lived a life of abstinence. Love was exactly why he felt a deep, agitated regret when he realized Summer had never been mentally ill. It was the reason why he had broken Joyce's finger in anger after knowing the truth about Summer's missing finger!"So, who understands love? Are you going to say that Nathan understood love?" Harry questioned in anger."Yes. Nathan knew. He knew what love was. He treated people sincerely, not merely seeing profit in everything he did!" Summer raised her voice. Harry sneered. "Well, if you say so. What if Nathan was still alive? Would yo
"You bastard. If you really need a woman, you should go to the nightclub instead. I'm sure there are plenty of women who are interested in you," Summer hissed, gritting her teeth in anger.Harry simply dismissed her anger and said without a care, "Hey, how do you think Nathan would feel if I claimed you in the car right now?"The look on Summer's face changed. "Don't you dare! I'll sue you for rape, and the whole city will learn about your scandal!""As for Nathan, I think he'll feel sorry for me, for how a beast had tainted me."A tense minute followed, and Harry erupted with more anger. "Well, let's see if you're really going to sue me!" he threatened, wanting to rip her clothes open.Summer shot cold daggers at him but did not fight back."Why? Not resisting? Your so-called love for Nathan is just empty words," Harry sneered.Summer remained calm. "If you really want to hurt me, I can't resist. I can't fight you to death yet—I still have things I must do." She could not let h
"Why did the doctors collectively change their statements? Were they in contact with somebody?" Summer asked urgently."There was a food poisoning incident at the detention center recently. These people were sent to the hospital for treatment," Gadsby explained.Summer's heart sank. The doctors must have met someone during this time and made a deal to change their testimony collectively.Was Harry behind this? Harry said he wanted to protect Joyce. Was this Harry's way of doing it?"So, there's no way to convict Joyce with the current evidence alone?" Summer inquired"It's hard. Well, unless there's new evidence," Gadsby confirmed. "I'm sorry. Serenity spoke to me before leaving Lanford and told me to help you, but I haven't been much help.""No, you've helped a lot. Thank you, Mr. Gadsby." Summer was thankful. "As for the rest, I'll think of something else. Maybe things will turn around." With that, Summer walked out of Gadsby's office.Summer left the law firm and went straigh
Summer's only purpose in life was to seek justice for herself and find the real murderer behind Nathan's tragic death.-A week later, Serenity's test report was out. Based on the current condition, the doctor concluded that the pregnancy could continue, but they had to pay attention to the fetal development, particularly on the nutrients and placenta's position.If the placenta grew too deeply into the uterine wall during pregnancy, she might have to terminate the pregnancy immediately.The result was much better than Serenity had initially expected."Jack, let's not worry about my pregnancy for now. We can make a decision when the placenta grows," Serenity said. If the placenta grew into an unfavorable position, she would have no choice but to terminate the pregnancy. Otherwise, both the baby and she would have a high risk of death. Even so, she wanted to try her best to keep the baby as long as there was a chance."Fine," Jackson agreed. Taking her hand gently, he cooed, "Sere
Clara could only watch her child through the glass walls. There was nothing else she could do. She only hoped that her child was strong enough to survive."By the way, have you named the child?" Serenity sat on the edge of the bed and asked Clara."Well, yes." A smile curved her lips as she said her daughter's name, "Amy Birch.""Birch?" Serenity was surprised. "Yeah. Her family name will be Birch," Clara answered. She wanted her daughter to have her father's last name."And what does her name ‘Amy’ mean?" Serenity asked, curious."It means beloved," Clara explained.Serenity listened and realized the name probably meant her longing for Wilson. Although Clara never expressed anything about Wilson's departure, she must be missing him.Clara used to think that her love for Wilson was too little. Still, feelings would change over time. Clara's love for Wilson had grown over time. Besides, Clara had no idea Wilson was her liver donor this time. The two of them were long inseparabl
"That's going to be a tough one. If we can't convict Joyce now, it'll be hard to pin her down again," Jackson said, knowing that the Scott family was powerful and had a lot of influence in Lanford."Summer is gathering new evidence, and North finally agreed to help.""He did?" Jackson seemed fairly surprised, knowing how much North despised Summer."Well, chances are high that Joyce was the mastermind behind the crash that killed Nathan. Besides, Joyce was the biggest beneficiary of the car accident," Serenity explained. Jackson arched an eyebrow. "I guess the Scott family had no idea of Joyce's involvement. Harry wouldn't have married Joyce if he knew she was the mastermind.""I don't think they knew. Anyway, Summer doesn't want too many people to know about this yet, especially the Scott family. She doesn't want to alert her enemies. It may hinder the collection of evidence."Jackson let out a soft sigh. "Harry's going to be in for a shock when the truth comes out.""He broug
The two nurses blinked, startled, then responded, "Are you blood type B?""Yes," Summer replied."Then come with us. But before you donate, you'll need to have your blood tested," one of the nurses explained.Summer nodded to indicate her understanding.Summer followed the nurse to the blood drawing station and saw several doctors and nurses there. Some of them were holding cotton balls and pressing on their arms, obviously just having had their blood drawn.Summer rolled up her left sleeve, exposing her left arm, while her right hand was still wearing a glove. She had unknowingly formed the habit of wearing gloves these days because of the missing finger on her right hand.The nurse drew some blood samples needed for testing, and the results were out in fifteen minutes.The child needed a blood transfusion whenever he had an emergency. Due to the large amount of blood needed, three medical staff also joined the blood donation. When they heard that Summer had volunteered to dona
