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.

Later, Summer had met Nathan through Harry, but she never thought Nathan would fall in love with her. Nathan had kept it a secret, and she had never known.Summer thought she would be happily married to Harry, but instead, Harry's family despised her, and her love with Harry was full of thorns. Summer had been humiliated at a family event once. One of Harry's relatives had questioned her in front of the guests, wondering why she deserved Harry. There were many better women in Lanford. Although Summer was a daughter of the Hope family, she had a criminal record.Harry's relative had even made up stories about women pimping in the prison, insinuating that she was one of them. It was simply ridiculous.Summer had successfully debunked the relative's theories only to be attacked by the rest of the Scott family. She was able to speak her mind and silenced them with words, but she was not happy about her victory. Instead, a sense of loss dawned upon her especially when Harry, the man wh

The love she had had for him had disappeared in those dark days.Summer opened her eyes slowly, and it was already morning. The caretaker looked at her with concern. “Good morning, Ms. Hope. Do you want me to help you to the bathroom to wash up?” “Yes, please,” Summer said as she sat up. Only then did she notice that she had cried in her sleep. It was too painful for her to dream about the things back then. After washing up, a nurse came in to change the dressing for her wound before breakfast. Everything was so different compared to the psychiatric hospital. Halfway through her breakfast, an argument broke out outside the ward, followed by a fight. Summer frowned as she wondered what was happening outside. Someone suddenly barged into her ward, and the caretaker stopped him. However, some men restrained the caretaker. Summer’s eyes widened at the man who came in. It was Harry. Harry’s men had restrained the guards outside Summer’s ward, and Harry was slowly walking toward he

Harry’s eyes darkened. “So, you think that Nathan knows you well, right?” “Yes. Unfortunately, I didn’t understand him back then.” Summer’s eyes were filled with affection. By the time she truly understood Nathan, he was gone forever. Her words made Harry mad. He moved to her side and grabbed her jaw. “Summer, you're really shameless. Why did you agree to marry me when you think that he understands you the most? You two-timing me made me the joke of Lanford.” “You’re worse than me!” Summer coldly said. “You married Joyce a few months later after I was forced into a psychiatric hospital, then your child was born 4 months later. You guys even announced to the public that the child was born prematurely. I don’t need to tell you guys the truth, right?” Harry averted his gaze. He knew that he had made a mistake that he couldn’t hide from Summer. He was upset the night he had seen Nathan and Summer together, and he had met Joyce coincidentally. He knew that Joyce was in love with him,
