Chapter 2444
Clara, who usually shied away from attention, now stood confidently in front of the police and the media with her pregnant belly. She spoke with conviction, "If I have to face legal consequences, I am willing to do so. But before that, I hope my friend, Summer Hope, can receive a fair diagnosis to determine whether she really is mentally ill! Let's see if the Hopes, who should be her family, have actually treated her properly!"Clara's words were a direct accusation against the Hope family. The reporters immediately turned their cameras and lenses towards Joyce."Is Summer Hope really mentally ill?""What are your thoughts on the accusation?""In the video, Summer Hope appears to be missing a finger on her right hand, but I remember she had all her fingers when she was admitted to the psychiatric hospital. How did she lose a finger?" A sharp-eyed reporter asked. After all, when Summer was admitted to the psychiatric hospital, it was huge news, so a lot of reporters could still reme

"But..." Captain Wyatt himself was starting to doubt if Summer was really mentally ill."There are no 'buts'. I am my sister's guardian, and my sister has been kidnapped. I want to save her! Summer's diagnosis of mental illness was confirmed by experts. Why should someone else's opinion invalidate that? If something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?" Joyce admonished sternly.Just as Captain Wyatt was about to lead his team to forcibly enter the room where a doctor was examining Summer, a voice interrupted, "Wait. Let the doctor complete his diagnosis.""What?" Joyce stared at her husband in shock and disbelief. Harry was the one who had spoken.The people around them were equally surprised."Harry, what are you saying? We have to take Summer away right now and put an end to this farce!" Joyce whispered urgently.But Harry's gaze remained fixed on the large screen, watching Summer's eyes.Even though those eyes were filled with immense suffering, there was also a glimmer

Joyce couldn't help feeling anxious, but Harry had already spoken. If she kept protesting, Harry would undoubtedly lose face, and she would appear even more suspicious.She could only force herself to remain calm and stand by Harry's side, waiting.Time ticked away. About half an hour later, the door of the diagnostic room finally swung open. Summer, seated in a wheelchair, was pushed out by a nurse, accompanied by the doctor who had been examining her.When Joyce saw the doctor, her heart sank. He was a renowned authority in the psychiatric field in Lanford. She never expected them to arrange for someone like him to diagnose Summer.When Summer was wheeled out, she saw the crowd of people in front of her, with numerous camera flashes blinding her.She recalled what Serenity, the woman who had brought her here, had said on the way, "The road ahead may be tough, and various challenges await you, but I hope you can remain calm. Right now, the best thing that you can do is to stay co

The person who spoke was the psychiatric expert who walked out with Summer.His revelation sent shockwaves through the surrounding crowd. If Summer Hope wasn't mentally ill, it meant that the Hope family had falsely admitted her to the psychiatric hospital and kept her imprisoned for years. It was an unbelievably cruel treatment.Even a mentally sound person could easily be driven to madness under such circumstances."Nonsense! Several renowned doctors have diagnosed my sister with mental illness!" Joyce retorted.The expert remained calm as he replied, "Are you questioning my expertise? Fine, we can arrange a consultation with multiple authoritative experts in the field of psychiatry. That way, we'll know for sure if Summer Hope is mentally ill or not."His words put Joyce in a difficult position. Agreeing would not be favorable to her, but disagreeing would also raise doubts."In that case... I'll take my sister back for now and consult the experts later," Joyce said."No,

Summer uttered coldly, "Family... Hah!" Her laughter at the end held a bitter, mocking tone."Alright, let's take Summer to her room to rest," Serenity took charge, and Clara agreed without hesitation.The bodyguards swiftly cleared a path through the reporters. However, Harry stepped in front of Summer's wheelchair, blocking their way.The wheelchair came to a halt, and Summer lifted her head slightly, her eyes landing on the man before her.He was as handsome as ever, and there was now an air of maturity about him. However, the intense love she once felt for him had transformed into pure hatred.She despised him for telling her repeatedly that he loved her, yet he refused to believe her.She resented him for standing by and watching as she was labeled a mental patient, not lifting a finger to help.But perhaps, the person she hated the most... was herself. She hated herself for being blind, for falling in love with a man like him."Are you... telling the truth?" Harry asked w

"Harry, it's not what you think. You saw the diagnosis report that labeled Summer as mentally ill too back then. You even said it was best for her to receive long-term treatment in the hospital," Joyce hastily explained."Yes, I did say that," Harry muttered, his eyes devoid of any emotion as he stared at his wife. "Tell me, was Summer really mentally ill back then?"Joyce's heart skipped a beat, almost leaping out of her throat. She gathered herself and replied with a calm voice, "Of course. There's no way it could be faked.""Really?" His eyelashes trembled slightly as he closed his eyes, resting his head against the back of the car seat. "Get out of the car!""What?" Joyce was taken aback."I said, get out of the car. I need some peace and quiet." As he said that, the car stopped.Joyce's eyes widened in disbelief. "You... You want me to get out of the car? But there are a lot of reporters following us! If I get out of the car now, who knows what they'll say?!""I said, get o

"But... even if the lie works against outsiders, it won't work against Harry. He won't accept that explanation so easily," Joyce expressed her concern."So what? Even if he suspects or discovers the truth, what can he do? Can he expose it? Is he willing to jeopardize his family and half his career for someone like Summer, who no longer looks human?" Donald frowned, showing his displeasure with his daughter's excessive worry. "Don't forget that you and Harry have a child together."Joyce's eyes lit up. That's right, between her and Harry, they had their son Hayden. Hayden was the only grandson of the Scott family. Even if Harry had lingering feelings for Summer, he would never allow any harm to come to the Hope family or to her."Is Hayden still abroad?" Donald inquired."Yes, his grandparents are taking care of him abroad. They insisted on giving him the opportunity to experience and learn overseas before starting school," Joyce replied."You're his mother. You should have gone wi

The Hope family could not take Summer away by force. Doing so would enable more gossip around them. Completely spent and exhausted, Summer quickly fell asleep.Clara looked over at Summer sleeping, the heavy weight of her worries finally fading. Although this was only her first diagnosis, Summer was perfectly normal and did not suffer from mental illness. Clara was sure there would be no major issues in Summer's subsequent diagnosis.Clara spoke to Wilson after leaving the ward. "I'm sure Summer will be fine. We'll prove she doesn't have a mental illness. She doesn't need a guardian. I plan to stay in Lanford a little longer to keep her company."Clara asked, "Do you have any business in Latveria or Solaria? If you need to go, you may leave. You don't have to stay here any longer."Wilson paused in his track. "What? Are you going to kick me out now? Right after Summer is out of trouble?""No, that's not what I meant!" Clara quickly explained, "I'm just worried about your work. You
