Laura began talking to Clover as they prepared the food."You look so young, Clover."No one could resist positive comments about their ages. Clover was no exception."Thank you. But I'm really old now." She smiled."How old are your grandchildren? I'm guessing they're about the same age as me, right?"Clover chuckled. "I don't have any grandchildren. I've always been alone. Mr. Wayne pitied me, so he hired me as his housekeeper.""I'm sorry, Clover. I didn't know.""That's alright. It's no big deal." Clover waved her hand. "I know what you're thinking, Laura. I owe Mr. Wayne too much and I don't have anything to repay him. I may be old, but I'm willing to do anything to help Mr. Wayne. As long as he needs me, I'll be there for him."Everyone had their own goals and Laura wasn't going to comment on others' choices.After lunch was made, Laura returned to the living room and told Madam Jacobs what just happened in the kitchen.Madam Jacobs' eyes moved and a smile crept on her
"It's delicious!" Shannon couldn't help but compliment the taste of the sweet. She then passed a bite to Laura. "Have a taste of this, Laura. It's really delicious."Laura didn't have any problems with that and ate the sweet off Shannon's hand.She had to admit, the sweet was delicious.A short while later, Laura's phone rang.The call was from Linda.Laura immediately answered the call. "Hello, Grandma. What's up?""Your father was involved in a car accident, Laura. He's currently in the hospital. Do you want to come and take a look?"Laura was slightly taken aback and then lowered her head. "Is his condition critical?""He's injured his leg.""Okay," said Laura.After hanging up, Laura stood in front of the counter quietly.Shannon had heard what was said on the phone as well. She turned to Laura and said, "Do you need to head off to the hospital, Laura? You can if you want. I'll just keep an eye on the store.""Thank you, Shannon." Laura nodded.Nicholas didn't spend mu
Shona became infuriated as soon as Clara mentioned the matter. "I've heard that it was a woman. She had been talking to Luke. Luke said that she went to pay the medical fees. But she hasn't come back since. Why isn't she back yet? Has she run away?"With that said, Shona stood up from her chair and was about to go take a look.At that moment, the door of the ward was pushed open.Luke and a young woman walked in from the outside.The young woman said, "I'm so sorry. It took me a while to pay the medical fees because there was a queue."Laura turned around when she heard the voice. That was when she locked gazes with Amelia.Amelia was a little taken aback when she saw Laura. Laura didn't expect to see Amelia here either.Shona had planned on scolding the person who ran her husband over. But when she saw Amelia, she was dumbfounded.Clara was also dumbfounded as well when she saw Clara. no one else in the ward noticed the odd behavior of Shona and Clara. Amelia turned to Laura
This was something that only Shona and Clara knew about.Amelia looked a lot like Luke's uncle."Is she my daughter? Could she be my daughter..." Shona was so excited that she couldn't even speak properly anymore."Be quiet, Shona. Don't be so excited. Others might hear you."Clara looked around them and only felt relieved after making sure that no one was around."Looks prove nothing." Clara's face became a little serious.Quite a while back, Nicholas was busy with his work and would often be on business trips. He rarely came home at all.Shona was born in Jeswood. She gave birth to her first daughter in Jeswood as well.Since Nicholas was rarely home, she stayed in Jeswood most of the time as well.When Shona's daughter was around six years old, Shona and Clara took her out shopping. But because of the number of people on the streets, Shona accidentally lost the child.She had been trying to find her daughter for days and was going crazy. Nicholas had also said that he was
Shona could never forget her daughter. But now she found out that her daughter was still alive, and was living a good life, Shona felt very happy. she didn't dare show how happy she was. The only thing was that she couldn't help but still want to get close to Amelia."Luke, do you have Miss Summers' number?"Luke nodded. "I do. Why did you ask, Mom?""Give me her number. I'll talk to her about this matter in the future."Luke nodded. He didn't overthink things and gave Shona Amelia's number.Shona used the number to add Amelia on WhatsApp.Laura told Nicholas about the things he needed to be careful about and also asked him what he would like to eat. She said that she would bring some over for him the next time she came to visit him.When Shona heard those words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "How come I've never seen you be so concerned about me?"Laura pursed her lips and just ignored Shona.Nicholas shook his head. "It's fine. I'll just get your mom to get me anyth
Shona walked over and took Cola from Jessica and walked to one side.Lena and Jessica began fighting in the ward. The former didn't go easy on Jessica at all. She grabbed Jessica's hair and pulled hard. She wasn't going easy on Jessica at all.Seeing what was happening, the veins on Luke's forehead popped.He walked over and pulled Jessica and Lena apart."That's enough! We're in a hospital!"Luke grabbed Jessica so that she couldn't reach Lena. Therefore, she began biting and clawing at Luke."What's the meaning of this, Luke? Have you fallen in love with this coquettish bitch or something? Let me tell you this, you can forget about being with her as long as I'm around! I can't believe what you guys are doing. We're not divorced yet and all of you are favoring this bitch? You're all hopeless bastards..."Before Jessica could finish speaking, Luke slapped her in the face.The room suddenly became quiet.When Lena saw Jessica being slapped, her heart raced with excitement.A s
Laura headed back to the convenience store after leaving the hospital.As soon as she entered, she saw a few people gathered inside. Shannon, who was surrounded in the middle, looked annoyed.The people around her were Lauren, May and Ziva.Lauren sounded like she was teaching Shannon a lesson. "Shannon, you've graduated from university just so that you could come and work in a convenience store? You might as well stay at home and take care of a husband and child. Look at May, she has a rich boyfriend and is now staying at home to take care of the family."Shannon didn't tell anyone about being together with Harry. That was because she didn't want to tell the people in front of her about such things. It was her own matter."I think that's none of your business, right? If you've finished having a look around, then you'd better leave. You're now disturbing me.""Look at you. Where are your manners?" Lauren pointed at Shannon and began criticizing her.Ziva had always been a pushov
Lauren and May weren't people who would just suffer in silence.When Lauren realized that she wasn't going to win in an argument with Laura and Shannon, she began being unreasonable and making a scene."Oh my god! Why did you hit us? Somebody, help!" May also put on an act.Shannon didn't expect Lauren and May to be so shameless. Ziva didn't know what to do either.Ziva had been staying at home today, but Lauren and May suddenly showed up. They said that they had nothing to do, so they came to pay her a visit.The two families did have a fallout before, but they were still relatives. Therefore, Ziva welcomed Lauren and May's arrival.After staying at home for a while, Lauren and May said that they were bored and wanted to head out. They also said that they wanted to see where Shannon worked, so Ziva brought them over.The two of them said at first that they were only going to take a quick look, but now it turned into a complete mess. This caused Ziva to regret her decision.Aft
The two children attracted Laura's attention and she just watched them play.The two children looked a little alike. The boy was obviously a little older than the girl. They were most likely brother and sister.The little girl noticed Laura's gaze, so she walked up to her. "Are you looking at us?"The little boy noticed his sister standing in front of two strangers. He then rushed over and stood between the girl, and Laura and Chris with an alarming look on his face."Don't worry. We won't hurt you." Laura squatted down so that she was the same height as the two children."I think I know what she wants, Owen," the little girl suddenly said with a serious face."What does she want?" The little boy's face softened when he looked at the little girl."She's looking at us, so she must be wanting to play with us!" the girl said innocently and then looked at Laura. "Am I right?"Laura squatted down and pinched the girl's face with a smile. "Yes, you are! I love children who are cute l
"Harry and I are planning to go to the beach after this, do you want to come with us?" Shannon asked Laura.After giving it some thought, Laura nodded. "Sure!"The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour after the meal before Chris came to pick them up."Have you finished?" Chris was asking everyone but his eyes were fixed on Laura."Yes, we have. I have to admit, the food here is actually quite nice," said Harry.He seemed to not have had enough as he placed some more food in his mouth."Do you want some more? We're in no rush anyway."Laura was worried that Harry didn't have enough to eat."No, I'm full. Let's head to the beach." The thought of going to the beach and enjoying the night view with Shannon made Harry very excited."What beach?" asked Chris. He was a little puzzled."Shannon just said that they were going to the beach and asked me if I wanted to join them. It felt like a good idea to me so I agreed. Do you want to come as well?" Laura turned to look
Lucas and Dawn waited for a while but their food still wasn't served."What's taking them so long?" mumbled Dawn."They're probably busy. We don't have any other plans tonight, there's no rush."Lucas picked up his phone and began playing a game. At the same time, he poured a glass of water for Dawn. "Here, have some water., it'll ease the hunger"Dawn was rendered speechless.She picked up the glass, took a sip of water, and then began looking around. That was when she noticed a table of a man and two women receiving their food as soon as they sat down.Seeing that, Dawn shouted, "Waitress!"A girl in her early 20s quickly walked over to her. "How may I help?""When will our food be served? We've already been waiting for a long time." Dawn was a little dissatisfied."I'm sorry, Miss. The kitchen is already preparing your dishes and the food will be served very soon," the waitress said apologetically."What do you mean by that? We've already been waiting for ages. Not only th
"Mr. Summers, Mr. Scholfield is waiting for you in the meeting room.""Okay."Nathan tidied his desk, picked up a file and headed towards the meeting room.As soon as he walked in, he saw Lucas sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.Lucas had a lazy temperament and his lips were curved into a mischievous smile. He looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Summers, you're three minutes late."Nathan was used to Lucas's behavior, so he just looked at Lucas indifferently. "Here's the contract. Check to see if you have any problems with it."Lucas sat up, took the contract, and flicked through it casually. "Where's the pen?""Aren't you going to read it more carefully?""I don't think that Mr. Summers is going to trick me, right?" asked Lucas. His voice was casual and his hand was getting ready to hold a pen.Nathan smiled, took out a pen from a drawer, and signed his name on the contract before passing it to Lucas.Lucas held the pen tightly in his hand as he signed his name on the
Nathan waited in the police station with Amelia.About an hour later, two police officers brought a man in black and wearing a baseball cap in front of the two of them.There were wounds on his face as well. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.One of the officers passed a delicate purse to Amelia. "Miss Summers, is this your purse?"Amelia's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's the purse I lost.""This is the person who stole your purse, Miss Summers. What do you want us to do with him?" the other officer pointed at the man and asked.After giving it some thought, Amelia said, "I've just checked my purse and nothing's missing. I'll let him off this time.""Looks like you're in luck. Quick, thank Miss Summers for her kindness.""Thank you so much, Miss Summers!""Alright, just try not to steal things in the future. You can leave now." Amelia waved her hand.After the man in black was released, Amelia and Nathan headed back home as well.Amelia then sent a text to the man in black
"Get someone to find out why Amelia went to the police station today." Nathan gave the order."Yes, Mr. Summers. I'll get right on it." Dominic nodded and went out of the room.After giving it some thought, Nathan still felt that he should head to the police station in person to ask Amelia what she was doing.When Nathan arrived at the police station, Amelia had just finished talking to Jack."Amelia!" Nathan called out.Amelia stopped walking and turned around. She then looked at Nathan with a face full of surprise."Nathan, what are you doing here?" Amelia smiled and walked over to Nathan."I came to check if Jack had said anything else. I've also heard that you came to the police station instead of to work, so I thought I'd come to give you a lift on the way back."Amelia nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll head back home with you once I've found my purse.""What purse?" Nathan felt a little puzzled."I was going out with a few friends, but I lost my purse on my way. There we
"Please take a seat, Miss Summers. We've already sent men to look for your purse. We'll find it soon." One of the officers put on a big smile and tried to please Amelia when he found out that she was the daughter of the Summers family.Amelia just nodded and then went to sit on the chair.A while later Amelia asked the officer that just spoke to her, "I'm a little bored. Can I take a look around?""Sure! I can...""There's no need. I want to take a look around by myself. Notify me when you find my purse."With that said, Amelia left the reception room and began walking around the police station.She didn't get far before she saw Jack."I need to speak to Jack," Amelia said to the guard outside the cell."I'm sorry, Miss Summers. Mr. Summers gave us specific orders to keep an eye on him and not let anyone visit him."The guard stopped Amelia. His attitude was respectful, but wasn't letting her anywhere near Jack."Do you not know who I am?" Amelia became a little angry. She co
After losing her memories, Mrs. Summers couldn't remember anything. She didn't want to dwell on this matter since it was in the past.However, Alex wasn't going to let Nancy off that easily. "She must be punished. Otherwise, who knows what she would do next time!"Nancy had become more and more arrogant. Alex felt that if he didn't teach her a lesson now, she would do something even worse.After hearing Alex's words, Mrs. Summers still didn't want to punish Nancy. "She's our child after all. We shouldn't criticize her too much. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Let her off this once for me."Nancy kept nodding her head after hearing Mrs. Summers' words. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I promise there won't be a next time. Please forgive me just this once."Seeing that Mrs. Summers was asking him to let Nancy off, Alex had no choice but to say, "Since your mom has forgiven you, then I'll let you off this once. But if there's a next time, I'll kick you out of the Summers family myself!"Nancy qu
Seeing the look on Nancy's face, Alex knew that she knew about the glass of water. His face immediately paled.Amelia quickly walked forward. "Dad, Nancy was just a little thoughtless, I think she didn't mean any harm."Her words made Alex even more infuriated. "She was thoughtless? Was that the reason to add sleeping pills to the water?"If it weren't for that glass of water, Alex wouldn't have been in a deep slumber and the things that followed wouldn't have happened.Nancy began shaking in fear. That was because she did add sleeping pills to the glass of water.She was planning on getting Chris to drink the water and then she would get someone to bring Chris to her room when he was asleep.That way, Chris would have to be responsible for her under the pressure of the Summers family.However, what Nancy didn't expect was that Alex drank the water instead of Chris.Amelia wasn't worried that Nancy would sell her out. That was because drugging Chris wasn't something appropriate
