Julia was a woman with a pitiful background. She had nothing, no power, no influence, and no position. Yet somehow, she knew that he was seriously injured.The night was gloomy and dark. At an abandoned underground parking lot, tortured screams echoed in the air. The smell of blood was enough to make people somewhat nauseous."You’re a doctor, so I shouldn’t have to say more. If this hand of yours is broken, do you think it will be able to heal well?" someone coldly asked amid the dim lights. There was no hint of human warmth in the voice. "By the way, I think your hospital director had an easier death than you. It's a pity that his lips were sealed so tightly...""I said… she has dissociative identity disorder..." The doctor's voice was extremely weak and frail, and that was especially obvious in the empty underground parking lot."What do you mean?""Multiple personality disorder...""Multiple personality disorder." That was interesting."I’ll give you another chance. You know that
At Sea City Hospital…"No one else is coming to visit me?" Adrian was lying on the hospital bed, and he reached out to eat the orange. He looked as if he had given up hope on living. "Mr. Miller just left. Your father just left too. Are you waiting for someone else?" The interning doctor then asked in a whisper, "Are you waiting for your girlfriend?""Girlfriend, my a**!" Adrian cursed secretly. "I’m talking about the culprit who did this to me.""Are you Doctor Seawind?" Just after Adrian finished his sentence, a foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes came through the door with a dazzling smile.Adrian pushed himself up. He only registered who it was after quite some time. "Are you Gilbert—James' brother?"‘Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.’ He sized the person up. The man was the culprit responsible for his injury. "Did James even tell you this? I really wonder what his comments are about me." Victor still looked as charming as ever. He held a large bouquet of flowers and
James' breathing was a little quick. He emanated a dreary aura as he looked at Victor."My dear brother, you’re finally willing to see me." Victor smiled. He exerted even more force when he pushed the knife down. Adrian was very afraid of pain. Although he was a doctor and perfectly fine with operating on others, he would absolutely refuse an injection whenever he became sick.James' eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists. "What are you doing here?""I just discovered something very interesting. Your young doctor is so cute. He actually believed me..." Victor smiled and said as he slowly pulled the knife back. "James, you used to have no weaknesses and no Achilles’ heels. I’ve taken care of them for you, so you should thank me."Adrian was a little lost. Were… all the shocking things he said earlier fake?His acting was really good.Adrian really thought it was an unprecedentedly grotesque and epic love story.The gap was a little too great."Your young doctor just said that he like
"Do you even have a foot? Are you sure it’s not broken?" James mocked him."I'm telling you, Gilbert, if you have the guts, then don't kick me while I’m down. If you’re a man, wait till I recover, and let's duke it out fair and square!" Adrian was unyielding."Oh? Then what happens to the loser?" James smiled. For some reason, he would always be relaxed when he saw Adrian acting like such a fool. "The loser can be punished by the winner however he wants!" Adrian did not believe he would lose. He would find a way to cheat by then! When Jasper recovered from his injury, he would let Jasper fight him."Okay, if you say so." James walked to Adrian's bed, lifted the blanket, and yanked open Adrian's hospital gown to take a look at him. "Take care of your injuries. I want to eat the dried fish you made.""You have no taste. What's so delicious about that thing?" Adrian pouted. James smiled and turned to leave.When the interning doctor ran back, only Adrian was left in the ward. "Where is
At the Ardly family's mansion, Samson returned home to find Julia still sitting on the sofa waiting for him. "Samson, why are you back so late? Do you want something to eat?"Samson glanced at Julia deeply and nodded. "Yes, I'm a little hungry."Julia felt flattered. She looked at Samson nervously. "I-I will cook for you now."Samson furrowed his brow. "Have you eaten?""I… I was waiting for you to come back to have dinner." Julia nervously clenched her fists tightly."You’re pregnant. You need to have a nutritional diet," Samson said plainly as he looked at Julia's back. He said, "Let's eat together.""Samson… aren’t you going to blame me for…?" She knew very well that Samson knew that she was the one who helped Summer leave. "Jasper is in her heart. Even if I force her to stay, I won’t be able to," Samson said plainly as he sat at the dining table and waited for Julia to serve the food. "Have you heard of multiple personality disorder?"Julia's hands stiffened as she held the dishes
Summer clasped her hands tightly together and felt a little lost. She did not know whether she should let Jasper meet Victoria... Based on what she remembered, she always felt like a shadow of Victoria, and it was difficult for her to move out of that shadow. Jasper had tried wooing Victoria in the past. That was a fact everyone knew. “Naomi, we’ve had some misunderstandings between us in the past. But now, I really need Jasper’s help. Please, let me meet him, or I will die.” Victoria was so anxious that she burst into tears. She looked around with a fearful gaze, as though she ran out from some kind of place.Summer bit her lip and ran back to the living room. She felt uncertain as to what she should do. If she hid it from Jasper, Jasper might be mad. “Jaz...” Jasper was watching a tutorial video on how to cook pork ribs. He was so focused that he did not even realize Summer standing behind him. Summer raised her head and looked at Jasper. She carefully tugged at the hem of his
“Wait a minute.” Victoria had made a call to that person. Once she finished talking, she saw Samson’s car being parked outside. “Samson is here,” Victoria said softly and cowered nervously. “Don’t panic. Let’s see if he’s here to bring Summer away. If he does, I will get rid of her for you.” The woman’s voice on the other end of the line was extremely calm.Samson left the car and stared at Victoria who was outside the door. He had a very dreary aura. *****“Young Master, Miss Dawn is outside the door...” the assistant whispered. He had something to do, which was why he had come to look for Jasper. When he saw Jasper’s strange expression, he immediately shut up. “Mister Ardly is here.”Jasper frowned. “Let Samson wait for a while.” Samson had called him yesterday night. He told him that he would bring Summer to West Park mansion and send her back shortly. But now, it was dinner time...“Mister Ardly said he hasn’t had dinner yet...” The assistant coughed. ‘So he decided to come ove
“Victor is in Sea City now. Adrian has already met him.” Jasper frowned and moved to the next topic. “I heard that Victor has been missing for a few years. Even my people could not get a photo of him. That tells how dangerous he is.”“More dangerous than James?” Samson sneered. The Ross family was a family full of lunatics.“Perhaps...”*****At Shangri International Resort Hotel…“Gilbert, I miss the moments when you were young.” Victor wore a bathrobe. His long and white legs were so beautiful that he looked androgyneous. James frowned a little and stayed far away from Victor. “You’re the one who sent people to kill me. And now, you’re the one who wants to catch up. What’s the meaning of this?”Victor smiled. Red wine slid down his chin and into his bathrobe. The scene was so beautiful that it was basically a visual feast. The sight was incredibly shocking. “Gilbert, you’re afraid of me. Why are you so far away from me? It’s not like I’m going to eat you.” The bruise left behind
“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.
