At Sea City Hospital...“Chairman Miller, you’ve recovered from your illness, and your health is pretty good now, right?” The doctor took the report and walked into the ward. There was nothing wrong with Jasper after checking him using a gastroscope. “Why are you vomiting blood again?”“Later, if someone comes here, just say that I have late-stage cancer, and I’m dying soon. Make it sound as real as possible.” Jasper looked around and gave a threatening glare to the attending physician.“It’s better to say that his brain is malfunctioning too. Just say that he injured his head during the accident, and make him sound more pitiful. Something like he can’t even take care of himself,” Keane said and smiled. He was eating some snacks and came over for the show. The doctor understood and nodded. He just needed to do what the patient asked. “What happened to Jasper?” Outside the door, Yadon greeted the doctor who came out from the ward. “Why is he hospitalized again? Is he okay?” “Si
“Ahem. So, you know already, huh?” Jasper was dodging Yadon’s gaze. “Jasper, are you trying to dig your own grave? And you did all that for a damn woman?!” The more Yadon thought about it, the angrier he got. He could not believe that Jasper would risk his life for a woman. “We never lacked women during our school years? Huh? Even if you switched women every day, they wouldn’t say anything, yet you stubbornly risk your life for this woman…”Jasper felt his hair standing on end in shock. ‘Is Yadon trying to comfort me or trying to make me die because he thinks I’m not dying fast enough? Summer is just at the door!’“Cough, cough, cough!” Keane was startled when he noticed Summer. He almost choked on his saliva. Yadon already noticed her earlier, but he continued to grab Jasper’s patient gown. “We have been friends for so long. George already has a wife and a child, yet you… I should have let you have the senior member of the music club back then. Even when you were as cunning as a
As soon as Yadon left the hospital, he called all the other mutual friends that he had with Jasper.At this moment, everyone in Sea City knew that Jasper was going to die.All the major news outlets, media, and entertainment talked about Jasper's terminal stomach cancer and his impending death… Jasper was annoyed by the media, but he let it slide. After all, they would be able to scare Summer so that she would not leave.At Princecourt Hotel, Ace read the news on his phone. He could not help but laugh as he shook his head. ‘Childish. That’s so childish of him.”After Ace left the hotel, he had the driver drive him to the house at Mountain City. He had bought it with the plan to stay in the house with Summer. But with current circumstances, it looked like that house might be vacant for some time. “Sir, should we tell Ms. Plath that Jasper is faking his illness?”“Do you think that Summer will willingly come back even if she knows Jasper was faking his illness?” Ace laughe
“I don’t have time right now.” Samson spoke with a frown after a long silence.He was worried about leaving Cosmo alone at home. “But…” Summer was stunned. ‘Isn’t he in a hurry to get the primary identity back?’“Ahhh!” There was a cry coming from the bedroom. Samson immediately turned back, then spoke anxiously, “There’s something I need to do. You'd better pray that I'll meet you later!”Samson hung up. Summer became solemn for a long time. ‘Samson wouldn’t forgive me just yet, right?’“Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me! You’re so disgusting. Don’t touch me!” Cosmo was struggling, obviously having a nightmare. During the day, he pretended that it did not bother him. But how could it not?Samson stood by the bed and watched Cosmo in silence for a long time. “Be quiet. Don’t struggle.” He watched as Cosmo kicked his blanket. He was afraid that his fever would worsen. Samson pinned him on the bed, preventing him from moving recklessly. “Stop moving. We’re both men…” Sams
By the time Cosmo was awake, Samson had already left the Ardly family’s mansion.His body was in so much pain that he felt like he was about to fall apart. Cosmo became extremely dizzy when he noticed the IV needle at the back of his hand. “Mr. Hamilton, you’re awake!” At the door, a nurse walked over with a bottle of medicine. “You…” Cosmo was stunned for a moment. ‘This nurse looks familiar.’“It’s me, Jayde. I’m Nao’s friend.” Jayde sighed. ‘How could Nao… be gone just like that?’Cosmo knew her as Summer’s colleague during the period Summer was pretending to be Naomi. “It has been so long since I saw you.” It was true. They had not met for a very long time. “I’ve applied the medicine for you. Mr. Ardly said to let you rest. Don’t worry about the company’s matters, he will help you handle them.” Jayde put the medicine aside as she handed a cup of water to him. “Mr. Hamilton, let’s go out for a bit after you’re done with your IV drip, okay?”Jayde’s smile made him feel
“Samson, why would you fight for something that isn't meant for you?” Ben could not understand the adult world. It was too complicated. Both Rose and Samson were similar in this aspect. “What do you know? How will you know if that thing doesn’t belong to you if you don’t fight for it? Samson was a little angry. “But the end result is obvious. Summer's primary identity had chosen to go dormant. Regardless of whether it's a conspiracy or not, she made her decision, didn't she?” Ben asked. ‘Why care about the process when the ending has been produced?’“So you don’t investigate the murderer’s motive and plans because you know the victim is dead already? Do you let the murderer continue to kill people? She’s a monster, she’s abnormal, she is an incomplete character that has borderline personality disorder! Don’t you think this kind of person is scary?” Samson could not understand why he should accept such a reality.‘Why can’t I keep Summer by my side?‘Why can Jasper do it, but I

“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.
