Chapter 1245
Chapter 1245
Zephyr didn’t expect Jonathan to be from Strico. Naturally, Zephyr had heard about the Youngblood
family of Strico and knew what kind of existence this family was in Strico.
It was really surprising that Jonathan would get involved in the matter with Riley.
“Mr. Youngblood, nice seeing you again,” said Zephyr.
Jonathan smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Scott, it’s not good for you to break into someone else’s ward
without permission. If I call the police, it might also affect your reputation.”
“I’m just here to meet an old acquaintance. Now that I have seen her, it’s time for me to leave,” Zephyr
said, glancing back at Riley, who was sitting on the hospital bed, “It seems that I really made the
correct decision to not marry you back then.”
In response, Riley smiled and said, “Luckily, I didn’t marry you.” Riley was smiling, but her eyes were
devoid of feelings.
Zephyr left with his men. Rosalie came forward and asked, “How are you, Riley? He didn’t do anything
to you, did he?”
Riley shook her head. “Zephyr just came here and said a bunch of nonsense. Nothing else happened.”
Indeed, no matter what Zephyr said now, his words could no longer cause a stir in Riley’s heart.
“I didn’t expect that Zephyr would suddenly bring people into the ward will ask Jon to send some more
people to guard the door later,” Rosalie said.
“Thank you. I don’t know when I can repay your kindness,” Riley replied.
“There’s no need for that. I’m helping you for Amelia because I think you shouldn’t be treated like this.
There is always justice in this world,” stated Rosalie.
“Justice?” Riley couldn’t stop her eyes from shedding tears. If there really was justice, she wondered if
she could really find out who caused the car accident and who killed Nicholas in the future.
“Nicholas…” Riley’s mind went back to the moment when the car accident occurred. Nicholas suddenly
turned the steering wheel, leaving the more dangerous side of the car to his side. At the moment of the
collision,
Nicholas then unfastened his seat belt and jumped on Riley, using all his strength to protect her.
“Riley, you must live well.” Those were Nicholas’s last words that rang out in her ear.
Live… Being locked up in the psychiatric hospital, she sometimes felt so tortured to the point that she
thought she was really crazy. Whenever she was about to give up on living, Nicholas’s last words
would echo in her mind.
She was alive, but she no longer lived for herself. Rather, she lived for Nicholas.
She also needed to find out the real culprit of that car accident. She wanted to seek justice for
Nicholas, so she couldn’t waste this life of hers that he had saved.
“An expert will examine you in two days. There will naturally be a conclusion about whether you have a
mental illness or not at that time. So, please try to take a good rest and relax during these two days.
When the time comes, you will be able to meet the expert in your best state,” Rosalie advised.
“Yes, I understand. I won’t waste this hard-earned opportunity,” Rilev replied.
Rosalie said a few more words of advice before leaving with Jonath
In the ward, Riley looked down at her mutilated right hand and murmured, “Nicholas, you will watch
over me, right? I will definitely that assessment in two days safely. At that time…” She would be truly
after that.
Some things could only be done when one was truly free.
Harriet had been nervous these past two days leading up to the day of Riley’s mental assessment.
Today, she learned that Zephyr went to the hospital to see Riley.
She wondered why he went to see Riley and whether he still had feelings for the other woman.
Once the diagnosis came out as Riley not being mentally ill, then the target would surely point to the
Summer family. At this time, the
Summer family must have a firm grasp on their ties with the Scott family.
Thinking of this, Harriet took a breath and walked to Zephyr. “Zephyr, I made a video call with Hendrick
today. He is having a good time outside with his grandparents!”
“Is that so?” Zephyr replied nonchalantly.
Harriet tugged the collar of her nightgown slightly and put on an enchanting posture while approaching
the man in front of her. “Hendrick is seven years old. He will be a teenager in a few years. He asked me
during our video call today when will we give him a younger sibling. It seems like he really wants to be
an older brother.”
Zephyr lightly said, “Kids are always whimsical. You should have just answered whatever to placate
him.”
“But I really want him to be an older brother as well,” Harriet said. “Zephyr, let’s have another child. We
only have Hendrick, and it’s too lonely for him in this house. Besides, your parents and mine already
often urge us to have another child.”
Even if it was impossible for her to conceive, she could use her means to find a substitute to help her
give birth to the child. However, Zephyr needed to sleep with her first for her to carry on with the plan.
Although they had been married for so many years, he never touch her.
Harriet even wondered if Zephyr was impotent. After marrying him felt as if she was a widow. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Even her parents-in-law had forced him to have a physical examinati but the results all came back
normal.
Zephyr only calmly said that if she didn’t want to accept such a marriag then she could get a divorce at
any time.
Divorce… There was no way Harriet would be willing to do that.
She had finally become his wife. Besides, she really loved him. Divorce was out of the question for her.
Not to mention, she would become a laughingstock in Lommore if she really did get a divorce.
Thinking of this, Harriet’s movements became more unrestrained, and her expression turned even
more seductive.
In any case, she wanted him to touch her.
She didn’t want Riley’s child to really inherit the Scott family entirely in the future. She would think of
Riley every time she saw that child and wished she could just strangle him.
She wanted to have another child to further consolidate her position in the Scott family.
On top of that, she also wanted to prove that Zephyr did have some feelings for her. She could not still
be inferior to Riley after all these years.
Harriet held Zephyr’s face and kissed his lips.
To her surprise, Zephyr didn’t refuse but accepted her kiss this time around. At the same time, his arms
wrapped around her waist, as if accepting her.
Harriet was delighted by this and deepened the kiss, but she did not notice the lack of interest in
Zephyr’s eyes.
Even though the woman in his arms was trying to please him, his body seemed to be frozen and
unresponsive. Even when she kissed him, it was Riley’s face that flashed in his mind.
