The memories slumbering deep in Emmy's mind stirred restlessly like butterflies breaking free from their cocoons. They tore at the bindings around them, each movement accompanied by stabbing pain.Emmy stared at Asher, her head pounding, yet she couldn't recall anything. Her heart raced in her chest, and a voice deep within her kept shouting, "Hide, hurry up and hide, hide now!"Jade watched Emmy anxiously. If Emmy didn't face Asher now, all of Jade's efforts would be in vain. No, she had to help Emmy."Emmy, do you remember the story I told you? Don't avoid it. You can do this." Jade's voice gave Emmy immense courage at this critical moment.As though a sharp ax was breaking the shackles on Emmy's body, her breathing was stabilized, and she stopped retreating. Mustering up her courage, she faced Asher and made a move that shocked everyone."Asher, you're back." Emmy didn't run away or lose control of her emotions. She greeted Asher calmly.Her reaction stunned everyone, includin

The doctor looked at Hunter with a complex expression, appearing hesitant to speak. Then, he glanced at Jade, who was standing aside, and asked, "And who is this?"Unable to bear it any longer, Hunter said anxiously, "Doctor, she's my friend. Just say what you have to say. Is my sister's condition worsening?"Emmy's sudden collapse had left Hunter feeling very uneasy. In addition, the doctor's hesitant demeanor only added to his uncertainty.Mistaking Jade for Hunter's girlfriend, the doctor cleared his throat before saying, "When we examined Ms. Alridge just now, we found that her hymen has been torn."Hunter's mind went blank at the news. A torn hymen... He couldn't possibly not know what that meant.He stared at the doctor in disbelief, and it took him a moment to speak. "That's impossible. Emmy is very young. She hasn't even had a boyfriend..."But then it dawned on him, and his face twisted with anger as he looked back at the doctor, understanding the implication of his word

When Francis and Vanessa arrived and entered the hospital room to see Emmy, they hurried over to her in distress. "Emmy, you scared Mom and Dad to death."Emmy looked at them with terror in her eyes, not letting anyone get close. Whenever her parents approached, she buried her head under the covers, ignoring them."What's going on?" Vanessa asked anxiously. Emmy was the apple of her eye, so seeing Emmy like this tore at her heartstrings.Hunter looked at Jade in confusion. Jade sighed and gestured for them to follow her outside."What happened?" Hunter asked anxiously.Jade looked at Hunter and his parents with a grim expression, unsure how to broach the subject. She took out her phone and handed it to Hunter. "Listen to this."Earlier, she had recorded her conversation with Emmy on her phone. She couldn't bring herself to tell Francis and Vanessa directly, fearing they wouldn't be able to handle it, so she let Hunter be the one to break the news to them.Hunter took Jade's phon

Hunter was filled with hatred, yet he felt helpless against Asher. The incident had happened too long ago, and without evidence, Asher would be released even if they arrested him. Hunter buried his face in his hands, feeling extremely restless. How could he make Asher face the consequences for his actions?Seeing Hunter's guilt-ridden expression, Jade felt deeply upset. If she had known this would happen, she would have kept the truth from him.After comforting Hunter, she left the Alridge residence. She didn't know how she managed to leave, she only knew that a fire was burning in her chest, as if it wanted to turn her organs into ash.Agony penetrated Jade's bones, causing her to suffer immensely. With stiff steps, she unknowingly made her way back home. Collapsing on the sofa, she wearily closed her eyes. Her nerves had been stretched taut for days, like a tightly-wound string, so she fell asleep as soon as her body sank into the soft couch.When Caelan found Jade, she was sleep

Listening to Caelan, Jade felt butterflies in her stomach. She had never seen him speak to her with such intensity or such an affectionate gaze. An answer was on the tip of her tongue, but she was afraid of disappointment. She could only stare at Caelan blankly, struggling and feeling fearful inside. She was afraid Caelan's answer wouldn't be what she wanted. How would she handle it? Should she continue dating him or turn away with a cold face?"What's wrong?" Caelan looked at her blank expression with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He reached out to tuck a strand of Jade's hair behind her ear, then gently kissed her forehead while she continued to stare in fear.Jade hastily took a step back, shaking her head frantically. "N-Nothing."Her face was already red. She berated herself inwardly, feeling utterly useless. It was just a kiss. Why couldn't she muster the courage to even look him in the eye?Taking a sip of water from the glass on the table, Jade suppressed the fluttering
