“Haha, do you really think that she would ask for money from you?” Adrian chuckled.“I’m just…”“You’re just ignoring her existence out of habit. You are absolutely certain that she loves you and relies on you, and that she wouldn’t be able to survive at all without you. That’s why you’re able to unscrupulously abandon her and hurt her.” Adrian shook his head. He did not know if he was criticizing himself or criticizing Jasper. “Enough of that! She’s just an idiot who lost her memory…” Jasper growled in agitation.But his voice was hoarse, and it slowly drifted off.“Yes, Jasper. You’re free now. The waters of the Eternity River are very deep. She had no intention of living.”…..Adrian had left. Jasper was alone in the kitchen as he leaned against the wall and smoked.Summer was gone.“Jaz, you said that you would take me to the ocean. Is that still happening?”“Damn it!” Jasper punched the wall in agitation. The back of his hand was injured, and crimson blood gushed ou
There was such a huge pang in Samson’s heart that his eyes had turned red. He anxiously grabbed a plaster to cover the wound on the back of Summer’s hand. He then forcefully pulled the trembling girl into his embrace. “Sum, I’m here. Don’t... don’t be afraid.”“Ah!” Summer growled. She was having a mental breakdown, and she was trying to free herself from Samson’s embrace with force.It was very hard for her to accept her newfound memories.Very hard...Summer’s screams were incredibly shrill. She was crying incessantly, and every time she screamed, Samson felt as though his heart was being sliced with a blade.“Sum, don’t be afraid...”Other than comforting Summer, Samson did not know what else he could do.“Get lost!” As though she had gone crazy, Summer pushed Samson away. She was staggering as she tried to get out of bed.“Ah!” Summer stood barefoot on the floor. Suddenly, she broke down again, curling up and crying loudly.Why? Why did she have to remember?Why? Why did she have t
In the bathroom.Summer was curled up in the corner for a very long time. Her eyes were glassy as she glanced around. She threw a glass onto the floor before picking up one of the shards and grasping it forcefully.The metallic smell of the blood and the pain in her palm cause Summer to tremble even more violently. She bit her finger, and she could not help but fall to the floor.A year.Too much had changed in a year.After she had lost her memory, she thought that Jasper was her God, her salvation.But it turned out that he was the devil, an evil demon from hell.What on earth had she done wrong? Why did God play such a cruel trick on her?“Jasper…” She grasped the glass shard even more forcefully, and her voice was laced with hatred as she uttered Jasper’s name.For the entire year, he took advantage of the fact that she had lost her memory, she had no family, and that she was meek and timid to bully her.He caused her to miscarry, and he forced her to a point where she ha
Samson knew that Summer loved fruits, especially cherries.He had always let her do whatever she wanted and eat all the fruits in the world. But she never had any self-control, and she always ate so many cherries that her nose would start to bleed.“Sum, I’m sorry… Can we talk? I’ll stay here with you…”“Sum, I know that this is all my fault, but throughout this entire year, I had never given up the search for you…”Samson rested his forehead against the glass door of the bathroom, and his voice was a little hoarse.“Uncle and aunty are very worried about you, but you wouldn’t want them to know about your condition now and get even more worried, would you? So, I plan to hide this from them first. Once you get better, I’ll take you home.“Sum, it doesn’t matter what has happened. Let’s face everything together, okay? Now that I have finally found you, I can’t afford to lose you again…”Samson kept talking. He was not an emotional person, but when it came to anything that had to d
Jasper’s foot went numb for a moment, and he slowly withdrew it. “F*ck off…”Jasper’s breathing was a little heavier than usual, and he took a long time to regain his composure as he leaned against the wall.Summer called him that day when she was being harassed by the hooligans. But he hung up on her because he was worried that he would upset Victoria.Summer was his girl, and all the wounds on her body were caused by him.In the past, he had never cared whether Summer was dead or alive. He saw Summer as nothing as a disposable burden who never failed to embarrass him whenever she appeared before the public eye.Summer was very obedient, and she had never stepped out of the mansion all year.Out of all his sugar babies, Summer was the most thoughtful one, and she never took advantage of the fact that he was rich.She never asked for anything, let alone money or material possessions.And because she never asked, he forgot to give her anything out of habit.Jasper opened the
Summer had no memory to call her own, and she did not even know when her birthday was. However, she found out when Jasper’s birthday was by asking a maid.At that time, Victoria had no plans of returning to the country yet, so he was still quite patient toward Summer. “It’s my birthday today. Why don’t you celebrate it with me? This is for you.” Jasper had tossed a jewelry box to Summer.The gift was not worth a lot. A jewelry company he sponsored designed it and gave it to him. That night, Summer had been extremely elated for a long time. That was the first time Jasper had given her a gift. Even though the bracelet was not actually exquisite, Summer treasured it as if her life depended on it. “We should make a wish during our birthdays. What wish do you want to make?” Jasper asked Summer and turned to gaze at her face, which kind of resembled that of Victoria’s.Summer did resemble Victoria quite a lot, but they were two completely different people.Victoria was the youn
Victoria was burning with rage to begin with, and her mood became even worse after the conversation with Adrian.“Young mistress, please cool down. I have good news for you.”As they walked out of the ward, Victoria’s personal assistant smiled at her.“Get straight to the point,” Victoria said impatiently.“Master Ardly is apologetic about the fact that something like this happened to you during Samson Ardly’s welcome party, so I ‘accidentally’ revealed that your birthday is coming up. Master Ardly said that after you get discharged, he’ll personally organize a birthday banquet for you at the Ardly’s family mansion and invite all the rich and influential people in Sea City over.” Victoria’s personal assistant covered her mouth with her hand as she smiled, and her eyes were as bright as those of a cunning fox.Victoria froze for a moment. She then immediately revealed a surprised and elated expression. “Sally, I’ve really underestimated you! That’s really great!”The Ardly family
Summer took a sip of water. It tasted bitter, and her tongue felt numb.“Sum don’t scare me anymore. Please?” Samson put down the glass and hugged Summer tightly as he took a deep breath.“Samson, can you just pretend that I’m dead?” Summer pleaded in a pressing tone.Just pretend that she had died one year ago.Just pretend that the pure woman who only loved Samson and had no one other than Samson in her heart had died.“No!” There was a rage in Samson’s voice, and he hugged Summer even more tightly. “After you recover, let’s go home.”“I can’t. Things will never be like how they used to be again…” Summer gave up struggling, and her body was limp as she lay against Samson’s chest.Both of them knew very well that things would never be like how they used to be again.Too much had changed within a year.“It’s okay if you can’t go home. I’ll stay here with you.” Samson said affectionately as he kissed Summer’s forehead.“You’ll stay with me… But where have you been for the past
