"If this is for the best..." Samson smiled bitterly as he looked sidelong at Jasper, who was lying in the ICU. He hugged Summer firmly. "Jasper will be in the ICU to be under forty-two hours of observation. During this time, could you stay with me and forget everything temporarily, but let my Summer... stay with me for forty-two hours, and then... we’ll return the other you back to Jasper, okay?"Summer bit down hard on the corner of her bottom lip. Her body was trembling badly. "Alright......"Samson knew that when the master personality did not want to exist nor escape, she would slowly fall asleep, and the other personality would replace the master personality and live forever.When that happens, Summer would still be Summer, but she would no longer be his Summer."Sum, we might not be able to return to Country M within the given time. I'll take you to a place." Samson pulled Summer's wrist, as if every minute was a last favor from God.This feeling was very strange. It was as if th
"I do believe in it." Samson nodded and raised his hand to gently caress Summer's cheek.This was the first time they were so close to each other, but would soon be separated by thousands of miles."Did you know? Summer really, really loves Samson..." Summer slowly closed her eyes. Warm tears soaked the corners of his clothes.She really, really loved Samson.However, the other ‘her’ in her body had fallen in love with someone else."I know..." Samson hugged Summer as he leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Hearing that sentence from you is enough."His Sum had never had a change of heart. Regardless of it being guilt or some other reason that caused his Sum to be unable to stay by his side…All this was enough.He knew that his Summer would always love him, and that was enough."Samson, thank you."The sea breeze was very comfortable, but that thank you also made Samson feel released from his burden.He should have let her go earlier, but he was worried about Jasper, and he did not k
He was in love with Summer for many years. Both of them had also dated for years, and they were each other's first love. However, they never managed to get together. Samson used to think that, as long he stayed alive, no one or nothing could separate them. Although Alaric was against them being together in the beginning, he never thought that was an obstacle. As long as he tried hard and showed Alaric his excellence, there was no reason why Alaric would not give his beloved daughter to the one who loved her the most. But all this just showed how full of himself he was. “I love you...”Samson said he loved her, but Summer had already fallen asleep in his arms.He loved her, and she felt the same way too. They had experienced too many things together, and this relationship could no longer be forgotten. In her dream, Summer dreamt she had returned to the year when she first met Samson in her teens.Maybe she could stay forever at the age of eighteen, when she loved Samson the most.
“Jasper... will be alright.” Benjamin’s body went stiff for a moment. Then, he stood up and looked at his phone. “I’m sorry, Aunt Melody. Dad... I’ll go out for a moment. If both of you are worried, you can go out and have a look.” “We’ll hold it a little more. As long as he is safe and sound, we’ll be fine.” Marvin shook his head and sighed. That was what he owed the Plath family. Regardless of whether it was how Jasper treated Summer in the past, or how Marvin himself treated Valerie...All of it could be considered what Marvin Miller owed the Plath family. “Hello?” Marvin left the office and took a deep breath. “I’m Samson. Summer is with me now. She wants to see you...” Samson’s voice was hoarse and sounded ancient, as though he had seen everything in the world. It caused others to instinctively worry about him. “Alright...”If Summer had to make a decision, she should better choose Jasper. And this sentiment was not one driven by selfishness.After all, Jasper grew up in a h
“At least I’m a lunatic who is considered normal,” James said in a puzzling manner. He raised a tranquilizer in a reverse grip and injected its contents into Adrian’s neck before he picked him in his arms. “He’s the real lunatic...”To James, Victor was the real lunatic. Anyone who was associated with Jasper had to be removed. Julia was not around when Samson brought Summer back to the mansion of the Ardly family. She usually did not stay overnight outside or not come home to rest. Maybe she knew that her identity was exposed and she ran away. Samson looked around and pushed open the door to Julia’s room. It was so clean that it was as if no one had stayed there before. She had always kept it neat and tidy. Julia loved cleanliness. Perhaps it was because she thought that she was dirty and her body was incredibly tainted, which was why she was always so particular about cleanliness and always cleaned up everything in her room until it was spotless. Summer woke up when she came ba
“Benjamin, ‘she’ was the one who lost her memories. And ‘she’ was the one who fell in love with Jasper. You know that, right?” Summer whispered while Samson was in the kitchen. “Sum, you...” Benjamin frowned. Summer never mentioned ‘her’ before. Sometimes, she would even choose to run away from it. She never spoke in such a calm manner before. “Benjamin, since she exists, there must be a reason behind why she exists. If I give ‘her’ my body, ‘she’ would have my memories...”“You’re crazy!” Benjamin lost his composure and slapped the table hard. “Does Samson know about this?” “He is supporting me.” Summer nodded. “All of you are insane!” Benjamin was a bit furious. Was Samson mad too? “How can the main personality be—”“There is nothing impossible. Summer should have died a long time ago,” Summer interrupted. “You didn’t lose your sister. And Benjamin, it’s clear that you like ‘her’ more.” Summer smiled and calmly asked Benjamin to have his meal. “Benjamin, let us have one last meal
“He married my mother at a young age because he wanted to improve his genes. My mother was a mixed-blood, and she was much healthier than most of the women in Sea City. But things didn't turn out the way he wanted.” Samson sneered. “He was actually very careful. He only had me as his son. He had so many women around him, yet he did not have any illegitimate children. He even wanted me to freeze my sperm, so there’s no way I would not know what he was worried about.”“It must be hard to make a decision, right?” Benjamin asked for a cigarette from Samson. He had always felt that he and Samson were the same type of person. However, while Samson could let go, he could not. “You just need to know that she would live a better life without me.”Benjamin turned and glanced at Samson, and he slowly clenched his hands. “Tell Sum that I won’t stay. I’m not that generous. It’s impossible...”It was impossible for him to see her be replaced by another personality. “Alright.” Samson nodded and p
At the mansion complex in West City, James carried Adrian home in his arms. He complained as he tossed Adrian onto a bed. “It’s time to lose some weight, you pig.”Adrian had never been regarded with such scorn by anyone before. The amount of sedative James had used on him was very low, and it might have been because he was afraid that it would make his health deteriorate. Adrian had woken up earlier in the car, but he did not have the strength to move. “Jasper is no longer in danger. Victor is in Sea City, so he’s safe now. As for you… you’re still not safe yet,” James warned Adrian, then turned and left. “What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone make it for you.”Ever since Adrian started living here, James hired servants and a nanny for him. He also installed security cameras everywhere to make sure there were no blind spots in their coverage. “Gilbert…”Adrian called out the name James’ mother gave him feebly. “What is it?” James turned around with a frown. “This name sounds n
“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.
