She did not know whether Edward knew that she liked him...Trent had liked Edward for many years. She had liked him since she had met him. When they were young, it was a mere crush. But later, as she grew up, she realized that her feelings toward Edward were more intense.But Edward slowly faded from her life. Even when they met by chance, they pretended that they did not know each other. They did not even want to greet each other. Edward woke up. He saw that Trent was hugging him and sleeping soundly.His heart sank for a while. Edward’s face was a little pale. He wanted to go to the toilet...But he did not dare to wake Trent. He could only take a deep breath and hold it...Edward gritted his teeth and tried to hold his pee. After a while, he could not hold it any longer. He pushed Trent’s arms away carefully and went to the toilet. Trent woke up. She became anxious when she found out that Edward was not beside her. “Edward!”She stood up and realized that her leg was i
At the sanitarium in Mountain City… “How’s the investigation going?” Hanna asked in a low voice in the dark consultation room. “All done.” Someone, who was holding a file, smiled at her. “Give me the money first.”“Of course.” Hanna smiled coldly as she took out a stack of cash from the drawer.“Why is it only thirty thousand dollars? Didn’t we agree on fifty thousand dollars?” The person was a little upset. “You took so long to investigate such a trivial matter. I’ll give you thirty thousand dollars first. Help me investigate another person. After you’re done, I’ll give you the remaining balance.” Hanna sat in the chair, holding a bottle of pepper spray. “Who is it?” The person was getting noticeably impatient.“Summer.” Hanna frowned. Recently, Edward had been calling out this name during her hypnosis sessions with him… Who was she?“Just that? There are thousands of people named Summer. How am I supposed to investigate her?” The person was enraged. “He only started cal
Jennifer wanted to leave the sanitarium too, but she feared that it would only burden her family even more. “Jen, eat breakfast.” Casper was rushing to work. He woke up early. Jennifer felt bad. She still had not learned how to cook. She initially thought she would be able to help Casper, but she realized she knew nothing… She could not help him at all. Instead, she troubled him even more.“Why do you look so unhappy?” Casper noticed that she was upset.Jennifer shook her head in disappointment as she sat at the table. “Casper, you’re not eating?”“I'm late. I’ll be leaving first. I’ll come back later at noon with some fruits.” Casper looked at the time. He did not have any cases on hand, but he needed to attend a monthly meeting. Later in the afternoon, he would be requesting a posting to investigate Hanna. “Casper…” Jennifer called out nervously when she noticed him walking towards the door.“Yes?” He asked as he put on his coat. “Come back earlier …” she whispered.
Summer was still sound asleep when she heard people arguing. She rubbed her eyes. She then woke up and got out of bed. “Jaz?”Jasper did not answer her. He sounded like he was on the phone. She stood up and walked towards him. She felt panicked. “What happened?”‘Did something happen to Edward and Trent?’“Sum…” Jasper ended the call nervously. He ran over to her and subconsciously lied to her. “Everything is fine. Why are you awake? Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”“I think you should tell her straight away. There’s no need to hide it from her.” Ace snorted. To him, Jasper always thought that Summer was an idiotic fool.Jasper looked at Ace. He knew that he could not hide it from her forever, but he would subconsciously lie to her because he was worried about her.Summer knew Jasper well enough. She forgave him and smiled plainly. “What happened to them? Is it serious?”“It’s about you. See for yourself.” Ace had an unpleasant expression. He sounded upset too. “You rea
In the photo, Jasper and Summer were sitting and discussing the project in the hotel room at Adieu Hotel.Alfred secretly took a picture of them, and it had become his evidence. Sure enough, more evidence was released later on. Jasper knew that Keane and the hotel staff were the ones who posted the evidence. But… why did Alfred take pictures of him and Summer?“If you say that Alfred has nothing up his sleeve, why did he secretly take pictures of us?” Jasper was puzzled. “This means that he’s hesitating.” Ace took a look at Alfred’s post. He studied the picture. “Under what circumstances would he secretly take pictures?”“He knew that someone was scheming against Summer, but he did not want it to happen.” Ace's words were contradicting, but so were Alfred’s actions. “Is someone forcing him to do this for money?” Summer now felt worried for Alfred. ‘The photo he took will be able to clarify my situation. If someone really schemed against me, would he be harmed?’“Are you
“Edward, stop butting into my business.” Trent had a bad temper and it came to light when she played games on her phone. Edward gritted his teeth. He suppressed his anger and turned so he was facing away from her. He ignored her. “Quick, quick! Can’t you be faster? We’ve been defeated again!”“I’m done. This is so boring. You’re so incompetent. Quick, get over here.” Trent was so into the game. Then, she became angry and quit. She lay on the bed, feeling bored. Ace’s words kept running through her mind. ‘This man is toxic… ‘He said that Hanna is not as simple as she seems. She ruins people by taking control of them.‘And Edward is her target.‘That’s why Jen’s condition worsened and why the Reeves family is in this state. It’s all Hanna’s doing.’“Why did you stop playing?” Edward narrowed his eyes and gave her a sidelong glance when she suddenly became quiet. “None of your business.” She snorted and continued to ponder. ‘Is she in love with him? Did she hate him becaus
Edward looked relieved as he quickly got out of bed and sat on the wheelchair.He did not even bother to take a look at Trent; he just left with a delighted look.Trent clenched the blanket. That b*stard!"Trentie, there won’t be any lingering effects with your legs, right? Which b*stard made you suffer so much? What if no one wants to marry you in the future?" Trent’s friend came out of the bathroom with an exaggerated expression on his face. He looked like he was about to cry."Alright, stop with the act. If no one wants to marry me, then you will." Trent reached out and took the strawberry that her friend had wiped with a tissue, all the while looking like she was about to become a martyr. "Oh dear, don't scare me. It’s normal if no man wants you, but men would still want me." His friend rolled his eyes and smiled mockingly.......In the ward next door, Edward was sitting on the bed with a gloomy face. Although they were separated by a wall, Trent and the man’s laughter was
At five o'clock in the evening, Hanna walked into the ward with a lunch box."How did you get into a car accident? Are both you and your girlfriend injured?" Hanna nervously went up to him as soon as she entered the door and checked Edward's injury."Yes, she is also injured." Edward nodded."Where's your girlfriend then? Why are you both not in the same ward?" Hanna asked casually."She’s being so noisy. After the car accident, she has been blaming my driver. I wanted some peace and quiet for a while." Edward looked impatient."Okay, don't be too angry. Any girl would be worried and afraid of getting into a car accident, let alone injured." Hanna tried to persuade Edward.Edward nodded and changed the subject, "Did you bring the tacos?"Hanna nodded. "Yes, try some. It was a bit rushed, so I don't know if they taste good or not."Edward took the lunch box with a smile and took a bite. "Yes, this is the taste I remember."Hanna stood aside and helped Edward to pour a glass of
