Shona's words made Luke feel a little strange, but the latter couldn't tell why.After all, logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with Shona's words.Shona looked at Luke and continued, "After all, your father's health is deteriorating and I don't have a job, so the main source of income in this house is your father. If he becomes sick one day, then we'll need Laura's help to cover expenses around the house. She's my biological daughter, so she can't really just stand back and do nothing if we come across some difficulties, right?"Only after hearing those words did Luke feel that this was the Shona he knew.After Shona finished making the sandwiches, she dragged Luke with her to the hospital where Laura was staying.Inside the ward.Laura felt that she had fully recovered and wanted to be discharged, but Chris and Linda disagreed."The doctors said that you need to be hospitalized for at least a week." Chris bent down and tucked Laura in.Linda was getting old, so she co
Just when Shona and Luke were about to enter the ward, a few bodyguards in black blocked their paths.Shona was slightly stunned when she saw the bodyguards. 'What the hell is going on? Why does Laura have to make a scene and place bodyguards at the door?'Laura was also stunned when she saw what was happening at the door.This was the first time she had seen the bodyguards as well.Laura was living in a private ward, so it was obvious that the bodyguards were protecting her."Why are you preventing us from entering the room? I'm here to see my daughter. Get out of my way!" shouted Shona.She sounded really unhappy and wanted to squeeze through, but the guards were tall and muscular. They only had to take a few steps forward to scare Shona and force her to back away.Shona was the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong."Laura, I've brought some sandwiches for you. Tell these men to step aside and let me through!" Shona shouted at the door.The noise caused
Compared to Shona, the bodyguards were much less strict with Luke.However, Shona didn't give Luke the sandwiches. Instead, she said, "Why? I've made these sandwiches, so I should give them to Laura personally."She then continued to put on an act outside the ward. She was sobbing and shouting, which caused the crowd to criticize Laura even more.Laura's face darkened. Just when she was about to say something, an angry voice sounded. "That's enough!"Luke had clenched his fists and his eyes were red. "Mom, don't you know why the guards wouldn't let you in? Don't you have any idea how many times you've hurt Laura in the past? What's the point of putting up an act now?"When Shona told Luke that she was making sandwiches for Laura, Luke felt that Shona might have changed because Laura was pregnant. But when he saw what was happening in front of him just now, he felt that Shona hadn't changed at all. It could be said that she was being even more unreasonable.Now, Luke was even more
Shona only felt relieved after leaving the hospital.If Chris had been in the ward earlier on, Shona wouldn't have dared to do anything. She only chose to make a scene because Chris wasn't around.Seeing Laura upset made Shona feel quite happy. That was why she felt quite good when the crowd believed her and began criticizing Laura.However, she didn't expect her son to ruin everything only a few seconds later."Stop right there, Luke!" Shona looked at Luke with a dark face.Luke gradually slowed down and finally came to a stop. He then turned around and looked at Shona.Shona quickly walked towards Luke still holding the sandwiches. "Luke, what's wrong with you today? I'm your mom, is that how you talk to me?"Luke turned to face Shona with a complicated look on his face.In the past, Shona would talk to Luke in a gentle voice no matter if he was right or wrong.Now, if Luke showed the slightest disobedience, Shona would start to shout at him angrily.Shona might not have no
Laura named some fruits and Chris nodded in acknowledgement.When Shona and Luke were on their way home, Shona had never stopped ranting. She kept on criticizing Luke, saying that he was an ungrateful person and asked him when he had sided with Laura.Luke tolerated all of Shona's criticism all the way home, but Shona still wouldn't stop after they arrived home. Luke couldn't take it anymore and shouted at Shona, "That's enough! Is Laura your daughter or not? Why are you treating her like that?"Shona was dumbfounded when she heard Luke's words. His angry voice also attracted Lena's attention.Luke's words caused Shona's heart to race.She had known that Luke was feeling suspicious and also knew that he had asked a doctor to perform a paternity test. But Shona still felt her heart race when Luke brought this matter up straightforwardly.Shona tried her best to remain calm. "What nonsense are you talking about, Luke? How can Laura not be my daughter? I've put so much effort into r
On the morning of the next day.Luke got up early in the morning to head to the hospital for the paternity test results.When he got back home, he passed the results to Lena. When she saw the results, she raised her head and looked at Luke with eyes full of disbelief.Luke pursed his lips and said, "We were wrong. Laura is indeed my sister.""I can't believe this is real. Are you sure you have the right file?" Lena was surprised by the results written on the paper in front of her."I'm pretty sure. I don't think the hospital would make such mistakes. Let's not dwell on this matter. Mom probably just doesn't like Laura."Luke sighed. He couldn't think of any other reason except this one for the way that Shona was treating Laura.'The paternity test proves that Laura is Mom's biological daughter. If Mom can be so nice to Uncle Steve's illegitimate daughter, then why can't she be nice to Laura?' wondered Luke.Meanwhile, at the hospital that Nancy was in.After the operation, Nan
'You're only a fake and you still expect everyone to revolve around you? You really don't know your place, don't you?' thought Amelia. 'Well, let's see how long you can keep this up!'With that thought in mind, Amelia's face gradually became twisted.Seeing the look on Amelia's face, Nancy felt that she was a little unhappy. "What's wrong, Amelia? Don't you feel well?" Nancy couldn't help but ask when she saw that Amelia wasn't speaking.After hearing Nancy's question, Amelia was shocked that she almost gave away her true thoughts. She then immediately put on a smile and said, "I'm fine. I was just a little worried before. Now that you're away, I finally feel relieved."Nancy shook her head and felt that she must have been overthinking things. Amelia was very nice to her and would definitely do anything to harm her."You were unconscious for three days. Are you hungry? How about I go get you some oat porridge?"Seeing Nancy nod, Amelia told her to get some rest before leaving t
"What's on your mind, Amelia?" asked Nancy when she saw Amelia looking out the window in a daze.Amelia came back to her senses and a meaningful smile appeared on her face. "Nothing. Just some random stuff. By the way, I've heard that Laura is also in this hospital as well.""Has Laura been run over as well? Was it serious?" Nancy asked desperately.As far as she could remember, Laura had been standing in front of the coach as well. It would be great if she was run over as well.Amelia shook her head. "Chris pulled her out of the way, so she wasn't seriously injured."When Nancy heard that Laura wasn't seriously injured, it made her feel that it was a pity. She then thought of something, grabbed Amelia's hand, and asked, "Is Chris here as well?""Well... he's here, but he's obviously taking care of Laura. After all, Laura is his wife," Amelia replied casually."Does he know that I'm injured? Has he come to visit me?" Nancy's eyes were full of hope.Nancy shook her head and ther
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
