That One Summer Chapter 17
Jack could not shake the feeling that someone had been watching him lately, and it made him uncomfortable. That was until one day, while attending a friend’s birthday party, he received a call from Professor John telling him to return to the laboratory immediately. After apologizing to the birthday host, he left early. However, when he was on the street just one block away from the campus, he was dragged into a private car that had suddenly pulled up beside him.Inside the vehicle were two tall, burly men. Right in front of Jack, the two men began discussing holding him for ransom or disposing of him.He was too terrified to make a sound. Besides, the other party had a gun, so he could not act rashly.The car drove further and further into a remote area, finally stopping in front of a dilapidated small wooden cabin halfway up the mountain.As Jack was dragged out of the car, despair and fear swallowed him whole. The small wooden cabin had no windows, and once the door slammed shu

Lily took a step forward, attempting to push the bouquet of flowers into Jack’s arms. Jack, however, took a step back at the same time, and that gesture hurt Lily. Even so, she forced a smile on her face.“It’s fine. I’ll wait until the day you decide to give me another chance.”After that day, Lily appeared every day along the path Jack was bound to take. Sometimes she held a bouquet of sunflowers; other times she brought various homemade lunchboxes.Every Monday night, she arranged grand romantic gestures near campus. That was because she recalled Jack saying Mondays were his favorite day. To him, Monday meant the start of a new week, which meant he could be by her side for another whole week.In order to enter and leave the campus freely, Lily had her family arrange for her to be an auditing student. She did everything within her power to treat Jack well, even though she was always ignored.This continued for three months. Seeing that Lily still had no intention of leaving, Jac

Jack did not speak; he simply stared at Lily calmly. His eyes were blank, as if he were looking at a stranger he had passed by chance.Lily froze, and the light in her eyes dimmed. Neither of them said a word. The entire hospital room fell into a heavy pin-drop silence.After a long time, Jack spoke softly. His tone was calm, yet it carried an indifference that Lily had never heard before.“How did you know I was here?”“I–”Lily was about to answer when she heard Jack speak again.“Never mind. I don’t care to know your business. Please leave. I need to rest.”His tone was so calm that Lily suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and a stinging sensation in her nose.They had grown up together and seen each other every day since they could remember. Throughout the three years of high school, they were almost inseparable.Lily had seen Jack as a toddler, who hid away without saying a word whenever he felt upset. She had also seen Jack as a kid, who frequently mixed drinks of dif

Jack and Kate exchanged a glance. They dropped everything in their hands immediately and ran toward the exit. After all, the laboratory contained many flammable and explosive substances, meaning a second, larger explosion could happen at any moment.Sure enough, just as they were almost at the door, the second explosion hit.“Jack, watch out!” Without a second thought, Kate sprinted forward and tackled Jack to the ground.High-temperature chemical reagents and glass shards flew in every direction. Kate gritted her teeth and let out a muffled groan as blood began to stream down her back. Jack was shielded tightly beneath her body, completely unharmed, though his ears rang loudly.After a long moment, Jack noticed the person on top of him had not moved at all. Realization struck him, and his eyes widened in panic.“Kate!”The mixture of various chemical compounds had set the entire laboratory ablaze. Jack coughed violently from the smoke, forcing himself to stay calm as he called o

Noticing the atmosphere had turned strange, Jack realized only then that he had spent three years cracking jokes to help Lily overcome her depression, and some habits were difficult to change in a short time.He assumed that Kate would probably find his behavior somewhat offensive. However, just as he was about to apologize, Kate, who was usually cold and quiet, chuckled after a few seconds of silence.At that moment, everyone in the laboratory was shocked.“Did the chemical vapors mess with my eyes? I think I just saw her laugh.”“I saw it too. Did I break my brain doing these experiments?”“When Kate laughs… she’s so captivating. If any of her suitors outside saw this, they’d lose their minds!”At everyone’s exaggerated reactions, Jack laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.From then on, no matter how outlandish his dry jokes were—or even when they incorporated chemical theories that most people would struggle to understand—Kate always managed to catch his references.

To prevent Matthew from escaping, Lily called the police and used the evidence in her hands to have him taken away first.When Matthew was handcuffed, he finally panicked and begged desperately for mercy. Receiving no response, he then began cursing at Lily like a madman.“My father will marry my mother very soon, and they will save me! Lily, do you think that by sending me to prison, Jack will forgive you? In your dreams!“He knows that you slept with me! You gave him laxatives for my sake, humiliated him time and time again, and personally made those disgusting videos. In fact, you’re also responsible for his father’s death. Jack will never forgive you!”Lily’s hands clenched into tight fists, her knuckles turning white.Yes, she was indeed responsible for the death of Ian. If she had not been blinded by Matthew and lost her mind creating those videos…However, it was too late for regrets. The only thing she could do now was to make up for what she had done.She would do every
