The woman had only one umbrella. Because she was shielding Lucas from the rain, she ended up getting partially soaked herself."I don't like being followed," Lucas coldly remarked."But...," the woman hesitated, "Are you really alright?"Why would he not be alright? Lucas turned away and continued walking as if he had lost all interest in her.Yet, the umbrella kept following him like a shadow, protecting him from the rain.He turned around once more, casting a cold gaze at the woman. "I told you I don't like being followed."It’s not as if she liked following other people! Coco Souza complained inwardly. She was not a busybody who liked to poke her nose in other people's affairs.

It's normal to have problems in life. As long as you overcome the challenges, things will get better," sh

In the taxi, Lucas ran his fingers through his wet hair. Could he really take back the love he had poured into Serenity? Was his love so deep that he could not take it back, or did he have no desire to take it back? Did Serenity even realize that he's willing to sacrifice his life to ensure her safety?The retrial for the car accident case from years ago finally commenced. Joyce once again occupied the defendant's seat. Although the Gerhold family hadn't made any public announcements regarding the retrial, news of it had already spread, sparking online discussions.

Summer approached the row of bookshelves in the room and perused the books. These were all books that Nathan had enjoyed, and among them, she spotted a book that she had also loved.She was surprised to see this particular book in Nathan's collection. As she opened it, she discovered a photo nestled between the pages. It was a photo of her and Nathan!In the photo, she was looking up at Nathan, seemingly telling him something interesting. A faint smile graced her lips, while Nathan wore a gentle expression, attentively listening to her. It was a candid shot, one of the photos that had been surreptitiously taken by the paparazzi.Summer recalled the time when the paparazzi had covertly taken pictures of her and Nathan. The photos had ignited various rumors and speculations. This was one of those photos.

"I told you, I'm not going to change my mind. I owe my life to Nathan. During my time in the psychiatric hospital, I couldn't stop thinking about the moments before Nathan died, how he told me to go on living. It was that memory that kept me going and got me through the psychiatric hospital. Without it, I would have ended my own life," Summer asserted. Bathed in sunlight, Summer's face exuded a calmness that stemmed from enduring countless hardships.She lowered her gaze, focusing on Nathan's portrait that she held in her hands. "After marrying Nathan, I will cherish each day of my life even more. He wanted me to live well, so I will live well.

He might not want you to spend the rest of your life solely dedicated to him.""I will explain that to him in the afterlife too. I will tell him that this is what I wanted," Summ

I just want to know how you managed to pass him off as your son," Harry asked with a dark expression. Joyce suddenly laughed, as if, after her fear had reached a certain point, it had turned into insanity. The laugh released all the twisted and suppressed emotions within her."How did I do it? Harry, it's all thanks to you! If you hadn't completely ignored Summer, you would have known that she was carrying your child, and there was no way I could have stolen her child! Poor Summer, she tried so desperately to give birth to the baby, but she thought she had a stillborn!" Joyce chuckled."What?" Harry was shocked. "She desperately tried to give birth to the baby?""Yes! She hoped you would rescue her from the psychiatric hospital!" Joyce smirked.Harry's face turned pale and his hands tightly clenched at his sides, his nail
