The nurse eyed her curiously and asked upon hearing Summer, "And you are?"
"Her friend."

severe. She should recover in a few days."
"Right, understood. Thank you," feeling relieved, Summer thanked the nurse profusely.
The nurse smiled politely and replied, "You're welcome."
Instead of going to Raine s ward, she headed to the gynecologist's. Since she had a good relationship
with neither Raine nor Yvette, she knew they would only argue if she had gone over.
She had done a B-scan and then some check-ups.
When the results were out, the doctor had explained that there was nothing to be concerned about as
the pain that she felt earlier could have been due to her squatting at that time. As her results have
shown, everything had looked fine.
Summer nodded as she thought, 'That's right--1 only felt the pain when I fell and sat on the ground, and
it didn't last long.'
After that, she went back to the apartment.
Silence, loneliness, and a strong wave of indescribable emotions engulfed her whole.
She could still remember the bitter coldness in his eyes when he left.
In the hospital ward.
Yvette breathed out a sigh of relief after she heard the doctor's statement.
Seeing what had happened, Raine truly is a good girl. She actually pushed me away just in time and let
herself fall instead!' Yvette thought.
Not many people would do the same.'
His defined brows furrowed as his lips moved as he asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened at
the Valentine mansion just now?"
"It's just as you've seen. Summer wanted to push me down the stairs, and at that exact moment, it was
Raine who protected me and fell instead," Yvette explained without a sense of hesitance.
Upon hearing so, his dark orbs shifted, but his deep voice sounded firm as he said, "She would never."
Instantaneously, Yvette directed her gaze and fell upon him. She responded, "She would never what?
What do you mean? Were you trying to say that she would never have pushed me down the stairs?"
Swallowing, he simply answered with a single syllable, "Yes." He didn't believe that Summer would
ever do something like that.
His reply had angered Yvette, and she had grown more agitated as she asked, "Mark, I'm your mother.
Are you suspecting me of forging up a story to lie to you?"
His thin lips opened and replied, "I'm not. I know and understand her character. I know she would never
intentionally cause harm to anyone. This must have been an accident."
"How can you be so sure about how she is? How would you know if she's not just faking it?"
Yvette scoffed and said,
"And like you just said, if she really didn't mean it, then shouldn't she come to visit your aunt now that
she's hospitalized? I haven't even seen any sign of her up until now. Regardless of anything, we're still
family. Does she really dislike your aunt that much?"
His brows shifted as he spoke up with his deep voice sounding displeased, "it's not her fault. I was the
reason all of this happened."
He knew that she had bumped into him and saw him getting flowers for Raine for her birthday. She had
also overheard his and Raine s conversation, so it would only be natural if she were to hold a slight
grudge against Raine.
However, Yvette hated the explanation he had given. A s long as what he had said was to defend
Summer, she hated it, and she didn't want to listen at all.
From her point of view, Summer is the one to blame for everything.
