All Chapters of Leaving on a Summer's Day: Chapter 21 - Chapter 25

With renewed determination, Mitchell no longer needed Vanessa's pressure. He took the initiative to request a full-body checkup and faithfully followed his medication and IV treatments every day.His condition slowly improved, but after just three days, he decided to discharge himself from the hospital. He had workers expand a greenhouse in the suburbs, working overtime to enlarge the space. Then, he instructed his assistant to purchase over a hundred pear trees and plant them inside. He even brought in a skilled craftsman to adjust the temperature, ensuring that the pear trees would continue blooming throughout this period. On top of that, Mitchell had a ring custom-made, planning to propose to Heather again the moment she returned. This time, he swore he would never betray her again.A week flew by in the blink of an eye. Mitchell spent the entire day shadowing Vanessa, eagerly awaiting Heather's call.

The old rumors about Mitchell's desperate search of Heather had all but disappeared—no one dared bring them up anymore.In fact, people now praised his devotion to Heather, as if they had completely forgotten about the affair he had right before his wedding, or the fact that he had gotten another woman pregnant.With enough power in his hands, the slanderous whispers faded away. Mitchell felt the weight of that power firsthand, but it didn't bring him any joy. Or rather, since the day Heather left, he had lost the right to be happy.He had wronged Heather, and according to the promises he had made, he was supposed to live a life of loneliness, far removed from happiness.For a long time, Mitchell didn't pay attention to where Heather had gone. He only learned, in passing, that her ne
