“Dr. Seawind, give me some time. I’ll try to receive surgery as soon as possible.”“You better not wait for too long, or else even the Gods won’t be able to save you.” Adrian warned Summer.“There’s actually another matter I want to talk to you about, Dr. Seawind.” Summer smiled and nodded.This was the main reason she was here today. She only decided to get a checkup while she was at it.“I heard that the Seawind family had always been involved in the biomedical industry. Bioeternal Pharmaceuticals belongs to your family, right?” Summer said with a smile, and her demeanor instantly transformed into that of a businesswoman.Adrian narrowed his eyes as he gently tapped the table with his fingers. “Uh?”“Bioeternal Pharmaceuticals has been pumping too much money into the research of HIV medicines and vaccines, to the point that the company is spending more than it is earning. Almost all the company’s funds have been put into this research, and there haven’t been any visible results
After he finished speaking, the other party hung up.Summer hesitated for a moment and glanced at her cell phone. “Sir, can you change the destination to Speedy Bar?”At the bar.By the time Summer arrived, the person was still lying on the couch, and he was dead drunk.How much did that person drink…?“Sir?” Summer approached the man and asked.“Sum…” still lying on the couch, the person moaned.As she stood beside the man, Summer’s body went numb. There was a pang in her heart as she slowly sat down on the next couch.The man on the couch, who had drunk so much that he cut a sorry sight, was obviously none other than Jasper.It was not Summer’s first time seeing Jasper drunk. Most of the time, he would be calling out Victoria’s name when he was drunk.“Miss, do you know this person or not?” the bartender walked over and asked.“I… I don’t.” Summer stood up abruptly and wanted to leave immediately.“Summer!” Jasper was still drunk, and he called out to her subconsciously w
Jasper lowered his gaze. There was no way that he could refute that.“Jasper, I’m covered with wounds, and I’m dripping blood all over. And all these are thanks to you.”“Summer…”“Oh, by the way, on my way here, the driver told me that you’re getting married to Victoria Dawn. You guys have even set a date for your wedding. Why are you still fooling around with another woman here?” Summer cut Jasper off and whipped out her cell phone. She then showed Jasper the screen.All the news headlines were about Victoria and Jasper’s engagement. They talked about how Jasper had successfully proposed to Victoria, and there was an interview where Victoria shyly admitted that they had already set a date for their wedding. “Chairman Miller, I wish you guys all the best, and I hope that the two of you will have a baby soon.”Summer forcefully withdrew her wrist and snorted coldly.“Summer! Why must you speak such harsh words to me?!” Jasper’s expression was a little dark. Summer knew very well
“F*ck off and continue looking for her!”Upon arriving home in the afternoon, Samson realized that Summer was not around.He did not even take a moment’s rest before rushing out of the mansion to look for Summer. But he could not find her even after a long time.He was tremendously frightened.He was terrified.He had always thought that he was the kind of person who would never be afraid of everything. But right now, he was in fear.From the moment he met Summer, he had a weakness.His gaze became sharper and sharper, and he gritted his fists.Summer was his weakness, and he would never allow anyone to hurt her.As for those who were crazy enough to hurt her, he would never let them off the hook.“Young master, Miss Victoria Dawn has been standing outside the door for an hour. She looks like her body isn’t able to take it anymore, and she isn’t wearing much either. What if something bad happens…” Samson’s subordinate was a little worried.“I’ll wait for you to tell me about
“Jasper Miller!”Samson raised his hand to punch Jasper. He then turned and anxiously pulled Summer into his embrace. “Are you okay?”“I’m okay.” Summer shook her head at Samson.“Mr. Ardly, how can you punch people for no reason? Jasper didn’t push her very hard either. She herself…” Victoria tried to defend Jasper, but her voice trailed off before she could finish speaking when she saw Samson’s cold gaze.Jasper was emanating an extremely dreary aura. He stood in front of Victoria to protect her so that Samson could not threaten her. “Samson Ardly, stop being such a bully!”“I should be the one telling you that!”Samson wanted to continue hitting Jasper, but Summer stopped him.“Vic is just here to beg you guys to let Dawn Corporation off the hook. Do you guys have to humiliate her like this?” Jasper said coldly.“Humiliate? Is this even considered humiliation? Next time, I should reduce the Dawn family to ashes and throw her into a whorehouse where she belongs!” Samson carri
“It’s more unfair for you to ask me not to love you…” Samson’s voice was a little hoarse.As long as Summer was well and alive, he did not mind that Summer did not love him anymore.But could he really not mind? His heart was hurting a lot...“Samson, please give me some time, okay?” Summer turned, and she only continued after a long time, “I’m making a trip back to Country M. I’ll be spending a month there. Please wait for my return, okay?”Samson breathed a sigh of relief, and there were tears in his eyes.Once upon a time, Summer loved those eyes of Samson’s the most. They were deep and profound, but she could always see the starlight and her own reflection in them.“Sum, do you want to go home? Let me accompany you…”“Samson, I want to go back there alone. I want to spend some time in solitude and think long and hard about what happened for the past year. I’ll give a good thought to our relationship and future too… Can you give me some time?”Summer said anxiously as she ra
“Sure…” Summer agreed. She should marry Samson, as she owed him this.But she did not deserve Samson.And she had no right to continue taking up space in his heart.“Sum?” Samson was a little emotional. He rolled over and pinned Summer down. “You agreed…”“Can you promise me one thing…” Summer said in a soft voice. The room was dimly-lit, and she did not dare to look straight into Samson’s eyes.“Of course.” Samson nodded. He was willing to fulfill every single one of Summer’s requests.“If… I’m just saying… If I die one day, scatter my ashes into the sea. Promise me not to be sad, and not to spend your life in solitude… If there’s a woman who loves you more than I do, you must… You must protect her well.” Summer’s fingers were trembling as she held Samson’s cheeks.She was close to tears.“That won’t happen. I won’t let you die. Even if you die, I’ll find you. We’ll meet each other again…”Samson tightened his arms around Summer anxiously. He would never allow her to die.“S
The look in his eyes was like that of an eagle who had set its sight on its predator.“Jasper, do you know who’s back?” After Adrian left the hospital, he gave Jasper a call.“Who?” Jasper had stood outside the Ardly family’s mansion for the better part of the night. He was about to sleep when Adrian had called him.“Benjamin Miller!”Jasper had been starting to get tired, but he immediately became wide awake when he heard that name. He raised his hand to massage the space between his eyebrows. “Can you repeat that?”“Benjamin Miller, your stepbrother who was my senior brother back in Country M. He actually gave up the bright future he had there and returned to our country. Could it be that he had gone through some sort of trauma just like me? What do you think?” Adrian muttered in a soft voice.“Oh, by the way, he mentioned that his mother passed away a year ago. This guy is a bit strange. I’ve always thought that he had a bit of an Oedipus complex. He talks about his mother to
