At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day.When Chris came back with the breakfast, he found out that Laura was already awake."I've just bought breakfast. Have some oat porridge first." Chris placed the breakfast on the table and opened a portion of oat porridge."Chris, I think I've fully recovered. I want to be discharged from the hospital this afternoon." Laura had been hospitalized for two weeks."Okay. Let's pack things up and head home." Chris nodded.He made sure that Laura didn't have any problems and seemed to be mentally stable as well.He also asked the doctor about Laura's condition and the doctor said that she could be discharged as well. All they would need to be careful of was the food that Laura ate. Therefore, Chris agreed as soon as Laura mentioned that she wanted to be discharged from the hospital.After breakfast, Chris began packing their luggage. When everything was packed, he held Laura's hand and walked out of the ward.When doing the paperwork for
One day, Alex was reading a story to Mrs. Summers beside the bed as usual. That was when the latter's fingers suddenly moved.Alex immediately spotted the minor movement and quickly called for a doctor.The doctor checked Mrs. Summers and said, "Mrs. Summers is showing signs of waking up. She probably will wake up within the next two days."When Amelia received the news, she quickly rushed over from Nancy's room."Dad, I've heard that Mom will be waking up soon?"Amelia's desperate voice caused Alex to feel a little weird, but he just thought that she was happy. "That's right. The doctor said that she will be waking up very soon."Mrs. Summers had been unconscious for over two weeks and was now finally waking up. With that, Alex finally had a smile on his face.After hearing those words, Amelia's face was darker than ever, but she still pretended to be very happy. "That's great news!""Dad, I'll go tell Nancy about the good news. She'll definitely be overjoyed when she hears it
Nancy had fantasized about Chris coming to visit her at first, but when she heard what Amelia had said, her face changed. "What did you say? They left? Why did they leave? Why didn't you tell me?"In the end, Nancy ended up complaining about Amelia's actions.After hearing Nancy's words, Amelia couldn't help but look down on Nancy. She then said inwardly, 'Why can't they leave? Even if I told you about it, what could you have done?'She kept those words to herself and pretended to feel sorry for Nancy. "Well, I thought they would stay in the hospital for a little longer. I didn't tell you because of your condition. I don't want to do anything that delays your recovery."Amelia's words made Nancy feel even more depressed.'How could Chris leave? How could he? He still hadn't come to visit me!' Nancy shouted inwardly."Nancy, are you alright?" Amelia saw that Nancy's face was already twisted and knew that her plan was half complete."I have a plan to get Chris to come to the hospi
Laura showed Chris her and Nancy's chat history.When Chris saw the message he reached out to lock Laura's phone and then placed it on the bedside table. "Just ignore her.""But I'm still worried about Mrs. Summers."Laura knew that Nancy was up to no good, but she couldn't remain calm at all after hearing news about Mrs. Summers.Chris rubbed her head. "If you're still worried then I'll go with you tomorrow."He knew that he couldn't stop Laura from going to the hospital. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stop worrying.As expected, Laura's eyes lit up when she heard those words.Seeing the look on Laura's face, Chris laughed. "Alright, you happy now? It's getting late, let's go to sleep."With that said, Chris closed the lights.After getting the answer she wanted, Laura slept very soundly in Chris's arms.Meanwhile, Nancy wasn't able to get a reply from Laura, so she became very desperate and began cursing very loudly."You bitch! How dare you not reply to my messages? I
A while had passed and Chris and Laura were about to leave. This made Amelia desperate and quickly stopped them."Are you going to stay for a little while longer?" Amelia asked awkwardly.Seeing the arm in front of Laura, Chris looked at Amelia coldly.His gaze sent chills down Amelia's back. But she still didn't pull her hand back."My mom really likes you. I apologize for what I've done in the past. I shouldn't have been making things difficult for you. I hope we can be on good terms in the future," said Amelia.After hearing the words "be on good terms", Laura was a little taken aback. She then exchanged gazes with Chris.Both of them felt that Amelia wasn't feeling right.Laura smiled. "That's not necessary, Miss Summers."Everyone fell silent once again.Alex had been doing business for many years and had dealt with all kinds of different situations. He immediately saw that Amelia was behaving strangely.He knew that Laura didn't like Amelia, but the latter was trying to
"Dad, why didn't you ask Chris to stay for a little longer?" Nancy still wouldn't give up."Do you have feelings for Chris?" Alex looked at Nancy."I... I do have feelings for Chris. So what?" Nancy didn't expect Alex to know about her feelings for Chris, so she decided to admit to it.Alex tried to be subtle with Nancy about his matter, but she just wouldn't listen."He's married, so you can get him out of your head and forget about him.""What do you mean I should get him out of my head? I can't control my feelings for him. Why does Laura get to be by his side and I can't? If I were the one who got to know him first, he wouldn't even lay eyes on that poor woman. She's not worthy of him!"Nancy had always thought that she was the only woman who was worthy of Chris. She was the daughter of the Summers family and only she could be helpful towards Chris's career."You..." Alex pointed at Nancy and he was so angry that he had no idea what to say.He didn't expect Nancy would have
Chris called for a car recovery truck so that their car could be taken to a garage for repairs.On the way to the hospital, Chris remained silent. He seemed to be thinking of something.As for Laura, all her attention was on Chris's wound. She also tried urging the taxi driver to speed up.She had checked Chris's wound. It wasn't just a scratch like he had said. The cut was actually quite deep."Don't worry. It's alright." Seeing how desperate Laura was, Chris pulled Laura into his arms to comfort her."We're here." The driver pulled over at the side of the road.Chris paid the taxi fare and then went into the hospital with Laura."It's no big deal. Just make sure that the wound isn't infected for the next few days," said the doctor after bandaging Chris up."Thank you, doctor." Laura thanked the doctor and then went to pick up the medicine that the doctor had prescribed. "I want to wash my hands."Some of the blood from Chris's arm had stained Laura's hands and clothes. She w
Amelia wasn't going to waste such a good chance to slander Laura. She immediately called the police.When the police found out what happened and knew that it was Mrs. Summers who was injured, they immediately sent officers over and were going to take Laura away."I didn't do it. You have no proof, so you can't arrest me."Laura was in a panic and didn't know what to do when she saw Mrs. Summers' condition. She was also a little nervous when she was faced with Amelia's questioning. This caused her to have missed something.Now that she had calmed down, she thought back to the conversation she had heard back in the toilets. She felt that something wasn't right, but she didn't know what exactly was the problem.One of the officers snorted. "No murderer would admit they have murdered someone. We can't just believe what you say.""I'd suggest you behave yourself and come with us. It'll look bad if we take you back by force."The officers knew who they could and couldn't offend betwee
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
