When Summer went back to the bedroom, she left the waking world behind. Her brain was in extreme pain. This kidnapping had only shot her blood pressure up. *****“Miss Plath, let’s play a game. The game has just begun…” “Miss Plath, do you still remember Amanda Lea…” “Miss Plath, once the game begins, it will not stop. Even if we’re caught, it’s never going to stop.”Amanda Lea… “Amanda!” Summer was instantly shocked awake. She sat up on the bed, her breaths uneven and ragged.She raised her hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She looked out the window, shocked.It was already dark. The siblings who kidnapped her had been caught by the police, but Summer felt that they had allowed themselves to be taken.Besides, they had said everything was just a prank, albeit one taken too far. Prank… Before Summer was knocked unconscious, the two people she saw outside the building were the ones who wanted to kill her, even before her memories returned. But the people who brought her
He was becoming increasingly alarmed. Samson always felt he would lose Summer forever.“Samson, do you still remember Amanda Lea? The one who committed suicide by jumping down the clock tower in the medical school. The girl who grew up with me…” Samson furrowed his eyebrows. Of course he remembered Amanda. That woman was a complete lunatic. When he got to know Summer, Amanda liked to follow Summer around. Although he did not know what Amanda wanted, she was definitely not a good person. Later, he heard that Amanda fell for a guy in medical school. But she had jumped into the river and committed suicide after failing to woo him. Her corpse had not been found even to this date.He was not interested in any woman besides Summer. But… after this kidnapping, when the two people had deliberately mentioned Amanda Lea, it seemed as if they were passing them some sort of message. He needed to investigate Amanda Lea’s suicide.And what exactly happened between Amanda and Adrian?“I remember.
In the past, he did not know how to treasure the things in his life. Now... it was all too late. Summer wished him a happy life.Those words were too grave for him. They were, in fact, so grave that he had difficulty breathing. She wished him a happy life…She had let go of him and would not love him anymore. “I’m sorry...” Jasper held the ring that was in the size of Summer’s finger and continued to apologize.The most painful thing in the world was not never obtaining something but personally destroying something that once belonged to him.*****Snow began to fall outside. Recently, snow had been falling very frequently in Sea City. Jasper stared at the snowflakes and was in a daze for the entire night. Just what kind of sh*tty thing did he do in the past?!His greatest fortune in life should have been the moment he picked Summer up from the ground. “Jaz, when will it start snowing in Sea City?”“Jaz, you said that we’d go and watch the sea once it started snowing in Sea City.
The men fell silent again. No one dared to speak of Summer receiving surgery again, at least for the time being. “Let me think about this a little more...” Samson said with a hoarse voice. He and Summer had not become registered as a married couple yet. He did not care if Summer became mentally retarded or lost all her memories either. He was just afraid of losing her forever. “We don’t have much time.” Benjamin leaned back on the sofa, and he sounded feeble.“Give me some time. I’ll give you an answer by tomorrow morning.”After Samson sent Benjamin and Adrian away, he hugged Summer gently while she remained asleep. “You little liar... You promised me that we’d register as a married couple today. Today is the day we’re supposed to be registered. You broke your promise again.”Summer did not sleep soundly, but she also showed no signs of waking up. “I know why you don’t want to go through the surgery... Sum, I know you too well. I’ve loved you for so many years. How could I not kno
“At that time, I also thought that I didn’t love her... I also thought that her death would bring me freedom,” Jasper said with a hoarse voice. He looked like he was utterly defeated and had lost his spirit. “But I regret it now. I deeply regret it.” He flung away the empty bottle by his side. Jasper yanked his hair to vent his anger slightly. “If I had treated her well since the beginning, loved her, and taken good care of the child in her stomach, would she have loved me more?”Would she still choose to be with him after she recovered her memories?“Then you should just pray. Pray that the surgery is successful. Pray that after the surgery, the side effect she suffers is the one that makes her lose all of her memories. Then... both of you will have a chance to start afresh.” Adrian fell on the sofa limply as well.They still had a chance to start afresh. “What if the surgery fails?” Jasper dared not think about it.He did not want to pray for Summer to lose all of her memories eith
If the Hamilton family did not go against him, everything would be fine. However, should Irvin continue to stomp on his tail, Irvin would deserve whatever came at him!“Chairman Ardly, you’ve offended Irvin this time, and I don’t think Universal Movies will let it go easily...” His assistant was worried. “This is a quarrel that will benefit a third party. If we fought with Ardly Corporation and Universal Movies, this would coincidentally allow SN Company from Country M to enter Sea City.” Samson turned and tapped the desk. He actually did not care about the Ardly family business. Everyone knew that SN Company from Country M had become one of the top ten luxurious brands within the past few years. The films, entertainment shows, and fashion shows under that company had become trendsetters for fashion as well. Many models and actors wanted to join SN Company, and there were just as many artists in Sea City who wanted to further their career in SN Company. If SN Company chose to explor
“I’ve pretty much started anew, haven’t I?” Summer did not agree with Adrian’s statement, so she smiled and said, “Doctor Seawind, can I ask you a question?”“Go on.” Adrian helped Summer set up the IV drip and nodded. “Do you know... Amanda?”*Thud!*The thermometer dropped from Adrian’s hand and landed on the floor.Summer was stunned. Adrian was incredibly wary of that person. “Yes, when I was in Country M, she used to cling to me.” Adrian smiled in slight awkwardness. Luckily, Summer could not see it, or else, he would have definitely looked pathetic. “I heard she committed suicide...” Summer could understand just how much despair a person must have felt before they chose to kill themselves. In the past, when she stood on the bridge while she still suffered from amnesia, her mind was blank. She just wanted to be free. Jasper looked at Summer quietly. He dared not speak up for fear that Summer would discover him. Nevertheless, he felt his heart ache a little at that moment.“Ye
She raised her hand to wipe off the warm liquid at the corner of her mouth. The smell of blood was strong. She was having a nosebleed again.Perhaps God also realized that He did not need to give her so much time."Young mistress, the news of Victoria’s kidnapping is being massively reported by the media, but she hasn't been found yet." Wade made a call to Summer. He had been the one managing the company during this period. "Wade, if I'm not around anymore, you need to let my parents know that without me… they should live on and be well," Summer said, seemingly out of nowhere, which made Wade a little worried."Young mistress...""Wade, do you know who kidnapped Victoria? I suspect that it has something to do with the person who planned to kidnap me. They’re afraid that Victoria will expose the person, so they took her away. They might even kill her to silence her.” Now that everything had already surfaced, all they needed to do was figure out who snatched Victoria up. "I’ll find h
“I just find it hard to accept the truth. I don’t actually hate you…” After staying silent for a long time, Summer spoke again. “It was… too sudden for me. Give me some time to process this.”Mabel looked at her in shock and covered her mouth. “Sum…”Summer smiled at her and said, “Before I’m able to completely accept it, can I continue to call you Madam?”Mabel covered her mouth in panic and nodded vigorously. “Sure… Call me anything you want…”She actually never cared what Summer called her. It was good enough for her as long as she did not try to avoid her. “Can I hug you?” Summer took the initiative and stretched out her arms. Jasper had told Summer quite a lot about Mabel’s family. Her family was in a very scary place. They started falling into decadence in the later years. In fact, they started showing signs of having a lack of sons. Every leader of the family became anxious about who the next leader would be. They were so worried about who would be the head of the family
Without realizing it, Summer had subconsciously returned to the Miller family’s mansion. “Wifey…” Jasper rushed over to her, wanting to give her a surprise. But instead, she did not react. Her face looked pale too. “Wifey?” He panicked and knelt in front of her. “Sum…”He truly panicked this time. ‘Did she find out about something that I did in the past and is now mad at me?’“Jasper, do you care who my mother is?” Summer asked softly. His heart stopped beating for a second. He felt both distressed and relieved. “No, I don’t. I only care about you.”“Why do I care so much, then…” Summer smiled and hugged him tightly. “I shouldn’t care about it too…”“Everyone has something that they don’t have control over. Sum, go easy on yourself.”Summer lay on top of him, picked up the glass of red wine on the table, and drank it.Jasper just realized that she smelled strongly of alcohol.“Sum…” He was a little worried. His heart ached for her too, but he also wanted to let her be.
Mabel was cooking in the kitchen of the Plath family's mansion. “Madam, stop cooking. Come and eat,” Summer called out to her softly. Mabel smiled at Summer as she emerged with her favorite dish, cinnamon-spiced beef stroganoff.“Sum, let’s eat.” Mabel treated her really well. She helped her with the dishes.Summer was also already used to it. She no longer felt shy. It was natural to her already. Alaric looked at Summer and smiled plainly. “Sum, follow me.” After dinner was over, he asked her to go to the study room. “Is Jasper treating you well?” Alaric asked. “Yes, he’s treating me well.” She smiled. ‘If Jasper hadn't been busy and gone to Mountain City, he would be sticking around, bothering me.’“He pushed back too much work to get ready for the wedding. He wants to finish making work arrangements as soon as possible and go on a honeymoon with me.”“Sum, there’s something that I’ve been hiding from you. You’ve always wanted to know your biological mother, right?” A
“Mr. Jasper Miller, do you take Summer Plath as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?”“I do,” Jasper said the two words confidently.‘I’m willing to take care of her and be by her side forever.‘I’ll always love her.‘She’ll always be my number one.’“Ms. Summer Plath, do you take Jasper Miller as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?”“… I do.”She purposely hesitated for a long time. Jasper was so scared that his face turned pale.After she chuckled and said ‘I do’, he gritted his teeth, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her.He kissed Summer even before the officiant had asked him to kiss the bride.She was so embarrassed by the kiss that her ears turned red.“Jasper!”Jas
Benjamin rolled his eyes at Aaron. “I belong to the bride's side. You should go to Jasper’s side.”“He doesn’t deserve it,” Aaron said stubbornly.Summer covered her mouth and chuckled. Everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the wedding. ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if we could stay this happy all the time?’“Hey, should we play a prank on the groom tomorrow? Let’s spice things up a little!” The bridesmaids started planning something.“You guys better be careful. You’re all pregnant. Don’t stir up too much chaos,” Summer said with a smile. “Seriously, it’s as they say: women always side with their husbands once they’re married. Look at you, you’re already siding with him.” A few of them teased Summer. Summer blushed so hard that she could not say anything in response. “Congratulations, Sum.”Hers and Jasper’s friends and relatives came one after another. All of them would be attending the wedding ceremony tomorrow afternoon. Edward would be there with Trent too.
After all, this matter was related to Edward’s mother because of her meeting with Hanna’s mother.She sat on the sofa and thought a lot. Would they get a divorce? Would Edward’s father hate her because of this?Edward sat on the sofa and quietly accompanied his mother. “About this matter... Let's not tell Jen first. She may not be able to handle it.”Edward’s mother nodded, in tears. Then, she shook her head. “It was all my fault.”Edward’s father finally came out of the study. Edward looked at his father nervously. He was afraid that his father would blame his mother.“I... I really did not know anything about it. I just thought she lived a difficult life. I felt guilty, so I asked someone to send her some money. I did not know what happened to her after that!” Edward’s mother panicked and started crying. Edward’s father walked to her side. He did not blame her, but passed her a tissue. “Is this how you should behave in front of your son? Stop crying.”Edward’s mother sobb
“I deserve it!”Nieva was brought away by the police. She should have expected that this was the consequence of offending Jasper.Jasper was busy with the wedding and he did not care much about her. Otherwise, she might have gone through worse than being arrested.…… At the Reeves family house in Mountain City...“Are you Hanna Delacruz? Let’s talk.”Edward’s father asked Hanna to go into the study, leaving Edward and his mother in the living room.“Edward, I already know about the issue concerning your father.”“Mom...” Edward felt a little guilty. “I know about everything.” Edward’s mother shook her head. “This matter is related to your father and me. This is what owed Hanna’s mother, but if you two have to pay for our mistakes. We...”“Mom, this is no one’s fault.” Edward shook his head. In the study...Edward’s father asked Hanna to go into the room. His expression was dreary. “Are you Venus’ daughter?”“Do you still remember my mother?” Hanna smiled and kept a stra
Samson nodded as he watched Rose leaving.Charlie ran out of the courtyard and stood still. He looked a little distressed.He was just a child...Perhaps it was because he had a mother who set up a scheme against him and used him as a chess piece that he was more mature than other children.In the past, he wanted to live. He wanted not just to live but to prevent his mother from setting up a scheme against him.He was still Rose’s son, even if Rose had used a despicable way to give birth to him.“Let’s go home...” Samson walked toward Charlie and rubbed his head.“Samson...” Charlie lifted his head, and his eyes were red.“From now on, you have not just me, but your friends, younger brothers and sisters, and many older brothers and sisters who love you.” Samson smiled at Charlie.Everyone could be redemption for other people, and other people could be their redemption, too.Charlie nodded and ran back to the Miller family’s mansion.Melody was carrying her grandchildren and
Jasper did not care whether Thomas intended to hurt Summer or not.As long as Summer was shocked, he would not allow it.“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Do you know Aiden, who is always with Thomas?” He was Summer’s childhood friend. Summer did not know that Aiden was secretly protecting her. He was seriously injured and almost lost his life many times because of Summer.”Jasper frowned. “Since he did not want to let Summer know about this, why is he making Summer more distressed?”Jasper admired Aiden a lot because he never showed his love for Summer, but he had silently done many things for Summer.“Jasper, you can just confess if you’re scared. You don’t have to put yourself in a higher status.” Keane rolled his eyes.“Fine, you will go to Country T for a business trip.” Jasper was threatening Keane.“Jasper, I’m sorry, it’s my fault...”…...The wedding was getting closer. Everyone was busy helping Jasper and Summer with their wedding.“Look at the dresses and gowns for my grandchildren.
