Summer Has Ended, And Winter Is Eternal Chapter 9
John remained unconscious for three days. In the end, he pulled through.He had no memory of what had happened during his hypothermia, so the first thing he asked after waking was about the snow lotus.No one knew what to say to him. I walked in with a bowl of soup and set it down calmly before saying, “I fed it to the dogs.” John stared at me in disbelief. Then, he threw off his blanket and tried to get out of bed. “Then I’ll go find another one.”No one could hold him back.I stepped forward and slapped him.“John, do you really think I need any of this? I don’t need some miracle cure. All I need is for you to leave me alone and to stop showing up in my life. That’s what would heal me. You’re the one who’s been hurting me all along!”John’s head had turned with the force of the blow. The loose strands of hair falling over his forehead hid the emotion in his eyes.A long silence stretched between us. Then, he said with a hoarse voice, “Summer, do you really hate me that muc

John never left.I had thought the brutal cold and the altitude sickness would eventually force him to give up. Instead, he bought a house and settled down here.Every day when I went out to see patients, someone would inevitably whisper to me, “Dr. Summer, that handsome guy is watching you again from over there.”I started keeping my door shut.Seeing how much I clearly wanted nothing to do with him, John stopped hovering where I could see him.On night, I heard faint noises coming from outside my window, but I was too exhausted to get up and check.The next morning, I was surprised to find that the window the wind had broken had been repaired. It was even sturdier than before. One night, someone knocked on the clinic door. I thought it was a patient, but when I opened the door, no one was there. Only a large bucket of hot water sat on the ground.In winter here, water was a scarce resource.Many poor families did not even have gas for heating. They had to boil water the old-

John had survived his attempt.However, that did not mean he got his will to live back. He barely ate or drank. He spent his days staring blankly out the window. Deborah tried everything she could think of, but nothing could pull him out of it.Until one day, John came across a photo online by chance.[The most beautiful sight in the Snowcrest Plateau.]It had been taken secretly by a tourist.In the picture, a female doctor was overseeing a patient. The woman in the photo wore a gentle smile. Her presence was calm and striking. The moment John saw her, he froze.He went to great lengths to track down the person who posted the photo and eventually got the address.Deborah knew she could not stop him.“Think this through. The life Summer has now is the one she chose for herself. If you appear again, you’ll only disrupt everything she’s built.”John did not turn back; he boarded the plane without hesitation.“Mom, without her, I’ll die. And if I’m going to die, I’d rather do it

That night, the famous Shaw Corporation CEO drove across the city, searching every hospital.He stopped anyone he saw and asked if they had seen his wife. The spectacle dragged on until the early hours of morning. In the end, Deborah had people forcibly bring him back. John kept the death certificate clutched tightly in his hand. His bloodshot eyes had lost all their light.“You’re lying to me. You’re all lying…”He refused to speak to anyone. The only thing he could do was repeat that same sentence over and over.“You really are just like your father.”Deborah looked at the broken man in front of her and let out a weary sigh. Her gaze drifted toward the night outside the window. There were emotions churning in her eyes.“Your father was the same way once, reckless, stubborn. He fell for a girl and refused an arranged marriage, but his rebellion meant nothing against two powerful families. In the end, neither of us had a choice.”At that, John finally showed a flicker of reactio

“Don’t bother, John. Summer is dead. You’ll never see her again.”“What did you say?”John was stunned for a moment. Instinctively, he pushed the butler and tried to go out.“Mom, I’m not in the mood for jokes. I know you’ve never liked Summer, but she’s badly hurt. I have to go check on her.”Seeing the man around her could not stop him, Deborah stepped forward and slapped him hard.“Madam Shaw…” Anna called out anxiously from the bed. “Please don’t blame John. It’s all because of me, he…”Deborah gave the butler a cold glance. The butler beside her immediately understood. He stepped forward and slapped Anna twice, once on each side of the face.“When Madam Shaw is speaking to Mr. Shaw, outsiders do not interrupt.”Anna tearfully held her swollen cheek and bit her lip hard. The sob that had nearly escaped was forced back the very moment she met Deborah’s gaze. The older woman raised her hand, and, at her signal, guards dragged in several people.John recognized all of them.

I did not know how much time had passed before the pain dragged me back to consciousness.Anna was grinding her heel into my wound again and again.“John told you to take care of me before he left. What are you lying there for? Get up!”My eyes reddened as I sneered, “Even after all this, he still refuses to divorce me? As long as we’re still married, you’ll always be nothing more than a mistress!”“You…”Anna pressed down harder with her foot. Her face twisted with fury.Then, she let out a vicious smile. “It doesn’t matter if John won’t sign the papers. Once you’re dead, the marriage will end on its own.”Before I could react, someone behind me clamped a cloth over my mouth and everything went black.When I came to again, I was on an abandoned rooftop.My vision was still blurry. I had just managed to steady myself when the door was kicked open.“Summer!”John sounded really furious.I snapped back to my senses and realized there was a scalpel in my hand.Anna was curled
