Chapter 2458
It hurt… Wilson pressed his hand to his chest, trying to ease the pain in his heart. What was this burning discomfort in his chest?! Wilson could not understand how much he had loved Clara before. So much so that even now, it still hurt.Clara barely knew how long she had slept, but in her dream, she sensed someone staring at her intently and opened her eyes in the darkness. To her shock, she saw Wilson sitting on the couch, his dark eyes staring straight at her.Clara slowly sat up and asked, "W-why are you here?" She glanced out the window, realizing that it was still pitch black outside. Wilson looked at her in silence, his lips pursed tightly.Clara bit her lip uncomfortably. "Are you worried about the baby? I swear I'll try my best to hold on until the doctor decides that a cesarean section is necessary. I won't let her be born too many months prematurely. The longer she stays in my belly, the higher chance she has of survival."Clara did not want Wilson to worry, but her wo
Chapter 2459
Clara's voice was so calm. It was as if she had accepted her fate, no matter life or death. Although she was reluctant to accept the worst possibility, she calmly arranged the future of her family. "You think it's worth it to exchange your life for a child's?" Wilson let out a low growl. The calmer she was, the angrier he got."I don't know," Clara answered with a weak smile. "It's hard to say whether it's worth it or not. But as a mother, I want to protect my child as much as possible." Although she knew the pregnancy was too dangerous for her, she still chose to keep the child."Yeah, you don't know anything. You know nothing at all." Wilson's voice was cold. He let go of her hand suddenly and gazed down at her."Clara, I won't risk my life to save you again even if you're really in danger," he warned with a heavy look in his eyes. "I don't love you anymore.""Yeah, I know." Clara had a soft smile on her face. "If I get into danger one day, I hope you won't save me again. I jus
Chapter 2460
After pondering for a moment, Serenity said, "Nathan is buried in the Gerhold family's private cemetery. With their current attitude toward you, I'm afraid they won't let you visit. Let's wait a little more. Once you prove you don't have any mental illness, we'll find a way to let you visit Nathan."Summer fluttered her eyes open, and the hopeful light in her eyes dimmed. She knew Nathan's family would never allow her to visit his grave.Even so, Summer had to visit Nathan. She owed him so much. How could she not go and see him?!Summer watched as Serenity left, but her mind was already made up. She quietly got up in the middle of the night and discreetly slipped out of the hospital, avoiding the security personnel. She took a cab and arrived at the Gerhold family's private cemetery.Summer had previously asked Serenity for a mobile phone to understand the latest news and happenings. When Serenity gave her the phone, she had transferred some money to her phone. If Summer saw someth

Serenity frowned. "Did she leave the hospital alone?""Yes. She slipped past the security. We don't know where she went," the hospital personnel informed."Well, I'll go look for her," Serenity said. After disconnecting the call with the hospital, she tried dialing Summer's number, but she was unreachable. Summer's phone had been turned off."What's wrong?" Jackson asked."Summer left the hospital. I don't know where she went," Serenity said with a serious look on her face."Could she have gone back to the Hope family by herself or to Harry Scott?" Jackson guessed."I don't think so. She can't go back to the Hope family now. And she only has hatred left for Harry. I don't think she would ever want to meet him unless necessary," Serenity guessed."Shall I get someone to search the surveillance around the area? We'll find her whereabouts," Jackson offered."Wouldn't that take a lot of time? Oh, how about searching for the taxi she took? We can talk to the cab driver and ask where

The guard's expression changed before he finally reluctantly made an intercom call. "There are two people here. They said they know Mr. Gerhold and they want to come in." Before the guard could finish his sentence, Jackson took over the phone and announced, "This is Jackson Valor. My wife, Serenity, and I would like to speak to North. Please let him answer the phone."Several minutes passed in silence, and then North's voice sounded. "Jackson?""Yes. Sorry to interrupt you at this time of night. I heard you're here now. Well, my wife and I are waiting outside, ready to take Summer back to the hospital." Jackson spoke in a calm tone like it was just another normal conversation."You're here to pick her up?" North said, his tone showing signs of being offended."What else? She's in your territory now. Anything that happens to her would mean more trouble to you. Besides, her matter is such a big deal now. If something happens, the media may exaggerate her relationship with your

Serenity continued. "Do you think your brother would be happy to know that the woman he protected with his life isn't even allowed to pay her respect at his grave? What would he think?"North's face twisted in annoyance. A short moment later, he turned to Summer, glaring daggers at her."Do you really want to pay respect to my brother? Well, fine. Kowtow to his grave a hundred times! I want to hear the sound when your head touches the ground!" North demanded, and everyone around him turned to him with a startled look on their faces. Serenity furrowed her brow, but Summer broke into a smile."Yes, I will," Summer agreed, her eyes twinkling with hope again. Then, she began bending her body forward, her head touching the ground. The sound of her head touching the ground every time she repeated the action sounded eerily clear in the silence of the night.Serenity became very worried. Summer was already weak from all the torture in the psychiatric hospital. She was covered in old and

When North was younger, he had asked his elder brother why he loved Summer so much. "Because she deserves my love. I like her determination, but I feel sorry for her toughness. She's the only one who can make me feel this way. North, you know what? I hope I can protect her and help her whenever she's in trouble. Even if she doesn't love me, it's fine. I just want her to be happy!""But it's just an unrequited love. Isn't it sad?" North asked his brother, but his brother had broken into a bright smile."I don't think it's sad. Besides, love doesn't necessarily mean possession or asking for something in return. Giving is also a kind of happiness," Nathan said.At that time, North thought his brother was such a fool. It turned out the fool was not alone—Summer was just like him! Nathan used to tell him about Summer's stubbornness, and it seemed to be true.North did not say anything else. Assuming North's silence was permission, Summer carefully picked up the candles with tremblin

"I felt horrible watching Summer at Nathan's grave today," Serenity murmured. "Nathan risked his life to protect her. I wonder how Nathan would feel knowing her current state.""You seem to be caring more and more about Summer," Jackson lamented."Probably because I've been checking a lot of her information. After getting in touch with her, I feel a lot more sympathy for her," Serenity sighed. "If Summer had loved Nathan instead, maybe things would have been very different.""Maybe," Jackson said. "But if the car accident couldn't be avoided, Nathan's death would've caused Summer even more pain."Serenity wrapped her arms around Jackson, still emotional about everything that had happened. "Jack, I'm glad you're well and safe!" After seeing what happened to Summer, she realized how life was so short and cherished every moment even more. Serenity once thought her life was nothing but suffering. After overcoming all the hard times in life, she wished she could keep this happiness.
