Chapter 389

At the basement, Julia's belly had grown significantly larger, and her movements were becoming clumsier.

Her legs were so swollen that she looked like she had grown one size bigger than she was in the past.

"Miss Vaughan, do you have any orders?" The servant knocked on the door quietly and asked Julia if she had any requests.

"Don't let others find you. Go and tell Rose that I can't wait any longer. Colden is already terminally ill and will die sooner or later, it’s just a matter of time." Julia's eyes were fierce as she gazed into the distance coldly.

Her greatest mistake in her life until this moment was being so deluded that she believed that she could be loved!

But fortunately, since God did not let her die, she shall have those who had trampled her live in just as much unrest as she did.

When Summer returned home to the mansion in West City, her fingers were cold.

She was not sure whether it was because of the words she had said during the board of directors meeting or whether it was because she had heard Wade's story.

She never thought that there were so many disputes between the Plath family and the Miller family.

Obviously, Wade still kept a lot of things from her, but if he was not willing to share, Summer would not probe any further.

"Believe your father. No father does not love his daughter. The master might have made a few mistakes before, and he will not allow the same mistake to happen to his daughter again." Before leaving, Wade had said such a sentence, but Summer did not know whether he was giving her advice or asking her to trust Alaric.

"Such a coward." Ben glanced sideways at Summer and shook his head helplessly. "If you really want to help Jasper, this is just the beginning."

"I know, you precocious brat." Summer rubbed Ben's head. Ben really helped her a lot over this period of time.

"Who do you suspect kidnapped us that day?" Summer was always curious about the person who took her father’s watch.

All the Ross family members from Sea City were all here, and it stood to reason that Ben's mother would not kidnap her son. Hence, the only two possible people were James and Victor.

Those two people were even harder to see through.

"Victor," Ben said without even giving any thought.

"How are you so sure?" Summer was stunned for a while.

"Victor is a madman. James has not yet reached that level yet. James is a mixed-blood, like myself. Neither of us have the advantage of inheriting the family property. Only when Victor dies would we be able to inherit the family inheritance, so it’s useless for James to kill me first. But it’s different with Victor. If we don't die, he will never be able to sleep soundly." Ben seemed to have seen things through. He was still a child, yet he treated brotherly relationships so indifferently.

Summer was stunned for a long time, but this was no longer surprising to her.

This eight-year-old child's IQ and experience almost surpassed hers, an old woman.

"There is a party tonight, organized by the Sea City Chamber of Commerce. I personally suggest that Jasper go there, and you should go with him," Ben said plainly. His facial expression was forever calm and unfazed.

"Will you be going too?" Summer asked.

"I can't go because my mother will definitely go, so I can't show up." Ben shook his head.

"You and your mother..." Summer did not finish her question. This was Ben's personal business.

A mother would do everything for her son, but Ben seemed to be on guard against her. He started to be vigilant of her from a young age, as if he wanted to hide his forces from her for fear of being drained completely dry someday by his mother.

"Sum, did my mom accompany you to the hospital today?" When Jasper came back, Summer was cooking in the kitchen.

Jasper hugged Summer from behind. His heart ached for her. "Just let them do it."

"You love to eat what I make. Besides, I went to ask Doctor Seawind today. He said that your stomach should be well taken care of, or I will be a widow," said Summer with a smile as she took a piece of small pork rib and fed it into Jasper's mouth.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Jerks will never be able to say something good." Jasper secretly reminded himself to settle this with Adrian.

"Doctor Seawind is weird today. When I went to see him, he seemed very tired. Are things very busy in the hospital?" Summer still had the memories of “Naomi” taking the exam for her nursing license. She had been very busy at that time.

"Don't worry about him, he's heartbroken." Jasper smiled and began to bring out the dishes.

Early this morning, Adrian called him urgently, as if he saw a ghost. He told him that there was a problem with the surrogate driver last night, and that a woman tried to ask him out, but got rejected.

"Heartbroken? Is Doctor Seawind in a relationship?" Summer was surprised.

"You don’t have to care about him. He dates different women practically every day." Jasper was jealous and did not want Summer to care about Adrian so much.

"Pft, Doctor Seawind is a pretty nice person. Why are you describing him like he’s some kind of scumbag?" Summer said with a smile as she called Ben to come over for dinner.

Ben took off his headphones and put down his ipad. He jumped up and ran to the dining table. "Smells good."

Jasper glanced at Ben. This brat had finally learned how to smile recently.
