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
Nancy was still sulking about what Alex had said. She had no idea what happened inside Mrs. Summers' ward. Amelia told her everything and even made other things up."What? I can't believe Laura had the guts to do such a thing. How dare she hurt Mom?" Nancy was shocked after listening to Amelia's words."I know, right? You should know what kind of person Laura is. I'm not sure if Mom will make it this time. If anything happens to her, I will never forgive Laura!" Amelia pretended to wipe the tears from her face."That's right! Putting her behind bars will be going easy on her. We should torture her until she dies," Nancy said fiercely."But I thought Laura went back home? Why did she come back?" Nancy felt a little puzzled."She probably wanted to do this a long time ago. That's why she came back to hurt Mom," Amelia said angrily."Does Chris know about what Laura has done?" asked Nancy.'If he finds out then he will know what kind of person Laura is and abandon her to be with me
Seeing Chris stop, Nancy quickly rushed over to him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Laura wanted to kill my mom, so she was taken away by the police. Laura's such a ruthless person. My mom treated her so well and wanted to be her godmother, but Laura ended up wanting to kill her. You might as well..."Nancy was lost in her own world and didn't notice Chris's cold gaze."That's enough!" Chris interrupted coldly."I'm telling the truth!" Nancy's eyes were red and looked very pitiful."I've already told you, she's not someone you can slander." Chris glared at her with eyes full of disgust. He then turned to leave as Nancy stood there by herself.Nancy was dumbfounded and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at Chris's receding figure with eyes full of disbelief.She only came back to her senses a while later. Her hands were shaking and her face had become twisted and full of jealousy.'I'm not lying! Laura is a ruthless person. Why wouldn't Chris believe me?' wondered Nancy. S
