“This loss of eyesight is only temporary, as the blood clot is moving around your brain. This is not the main point. Most importantly, if surgery is not carried out as soon as possible…”“I understand.” Samson helplessly cut the doctor off and gestured for him to leave first.Samson pulled Summer into his embrace and comforted her by kissing her forehead. “Everything will be okay. After a good night’s sleep, you will be able to see again when you wake up.”“Samson… Throughout the year I was away, how were you doing?” Summer slowly regained her composure, and she spoke to Samson in a hoarse voice.“I thought about you day and night, and I had never given up on looking for you.” But he was still late. She ended up being hurt.“I’m sorry…” Summer apologized.Samson did not do anything wrong. She should not let out her anger on him all the time.“Why are you even apologizing?” Samson was close to tears. He had never cried since his mother went missing, but whenever something bad hap
She had been awake from the moment Samson got off the bed.“Summer… I…” Jasper panicked. He did not mean what he said...“Don’t go near her!” Samson punched Jasper’s face again and gave him a warning glare.“Summer, come home with me.” Jasper furrowed his brows, and his tone was adamant.“Huh?” Summer chuckled, and she took a step forward as she ran her hands along the frame of the door. “Mr. Miller, are you an idiot, or are you taking me from an idiot? You took advantage of the fact that I had lost my memory to bully me and humiliate me. Do you really think that I’m someone you can easily mess with?”Jasper clenched his fists tightly. When he saw how cold the look in Summer’s eyes was, he slowly took a step backward.Summer had recovered her memory, and she was no longer the meek and obedient little idiot he knew.“The Summer in the past had already died when she jumped into the river. Mr. Miller, you had better treat me as a stranger from now onward. I won’t disturb your life,
At Sea City Hospital.“Vic, why are you such a silly girl? What are mum and dad going to do if you really died? It’s our fault. We’re not powerful enough, and that’s why you were bullied so badly. If you want to blame someone, please blame me.”“Vic…”Cries echoed in the ward.“Mum, why are you stopping me? Please just let me die.” Victoria’s face was pale. The doctor had already bandaged up the wound on her hand.“Vic!” Jasper barged worriedly into the ward. He glanced at Victoria’s wrist. “What on earth did you do?”“Jasper!” Victoria immediately burst into tears when she saw Jasper.“Jasper, you’ve always loved Vic. But she was bullied so badly…” Victoria’s mother started crying as she spoke.“The Ardly family is really being too much. Samson Ardly snatched away that plot of land by placing a bid that’s two times higher than the market price. He doesn’t even bother hiding the fact that he’s doing everything he can to destroy Dawn Corporation. He’s trying to ruin us!” Smith Da
At the end of the day, that baby had been his too.It was true that he did not want that baby in the beginning. But Victoria...She should not have dragged Summer into the pond that night.“Rest well for now. We’ll talk about this after you get discharged.” Jasper was trying to escape the situation. He turned and left the ward. He then headed to the smoking area and lit a cigarette.Victoria was anxious as she watched Jasper leave. What was going through his mind? Did he need time to think about the matter?“Vic, Jasper did not assure you that he’ll marry you. If he’s willing to marry you now, Dawn Corporation might still stand a chance to survive.” Victoria’s father said with a worried expression. “Yeah. If Jasper marries you, even if Samson Ardly deliberately schemes against our company, we will have someone to back us up.”Samson Ardly was not giving them a break at all. Summer Plath had definitely told him something.Victoria trembled and clenched her fists anxiously. “Can
“Wow, you still have the audacity to ask me to watch my words? I’m surprised that Samson Ardly hasn’t killed you yet, and I admire him for his restraint!” There was a look of disbelief on Adrian’s face. He took a long drag of his cigarette. “Okay, I’ll stop talking about this. But you’re in the wrong here, so you should stop acting so righteously after taking advantage of Summer. You’ve never gotten attached to any of your sugar babies, have you? Why don’t you just let everything past and stop hurting that little rabbit?”At the end of the day, Jasper was still his good friend. As for Summer, Adrian could only feel bad for her for having the misfortune to meet the wrong guy.Jasper slowly loosened his grip on Adrian’s collar. He leaned helplessly against the wall. “She’s my woman, and I don’t care that she’s the young mistress of the Plath family.”“Bro, can you start acting like a decent human being?” Adrian rolled his eyes and shook his head. He then left the smoking area.He kne
It had been one whole year. Ever since she had lost her memory, she had never taken good care of her appearance. This face of hers… It was gaunt and pale. Her eyes, too, looked like those of someone who had lost their soul.“Miss Plath, where are you going?”When the servants saw that Summer was walking down the stairs, they got a little worried.Samson cared about Summer very much, and those servants could not afford any mishaps when it came to Summer. “You guys don’t have to worry about me. I’m just heading out to take a walk. I’ll be back very soon.” Summer shook her head. She did not want to be locked inside another cage after finally getting out of Jasper’s mansion.She wanted to take a look at the outside world.She had been in Sea City for a year, but she had never taken a good look at it.The servants looked at Summer with worried expressions on their faces, but they did not dare to stop her from goin
Summer’s field of vision was slowly becoming clear again. She carefully scrutinized Jasper’s face.It was indeed a very familiar face, and he also looked similar to Samson. Now that she thought about this, it was not without reason that she had relied on him so much after she lost her memory...“Mr. Miller, don’t you think that what you had just said would hurt Miss Victoria Dawn a lot? Or do you perceive lovers and sugar babies as two different things altogether?” Summer smiled. “You want me to go home with you and continue being a sugar baby who doesn’t get to see the light of day? To help you out by trying on Victoria Dawn’s wedding dress and picking out your wedding rings before quietly staying in the mansion like an idiot and waiting for you to get into a good mood and give me a shred of affection?”Back when Jasper forced her to try on Victoria’s wedding dress and pick out his and Victoria’s wedding rings, the designer had asked Jasper what he was going to do with Summer after
Did he not work so hard so that this young man, who hated him a lot, got to take over a family business that was doing well?Colden Ardly sighed and decided to compromise. “I don’t mind keeping my hands off the business. Sea City belongs to young people like you now, anyway. But since you are taking over the business, you must maintain a civil relationship with Jasper Miller. This is important so that our family and the Miller family can continue expanding our businesses without stepping into each other’s territory. Try your best not to piss Jasper Miller off.“Father, there is no need for you to worry about this as it’s my personal problem. Don’t you want to get rid of Jasper Miller too?” There was a hidden layer of meaning to Samson’s words. He propped his chin up with his arm on the table and looked into Colden Ardly’s eyes. “Without Miller Corporation, our family would hold all the power in Sea City.”Colden Ardly narrowed his eyes. His son was more ambitious than him indeed.“
“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.
