Summer was laughing along with Charlotte as she carried her in her arms. With her index finger on her lips, Summer said, "Shh, don't tell Daddy!"
Life was back to normal for them. Time passed, and things were simple. It felt like nothing had changed, but it still felt so empty.
Summer brought Charlotte to the hospital in the morning to greet Mark before dropping her off at school. She would then head to work and go straight t o the hospital right after she was done with her shift i n the evening.
Mark was in the VIP ward, so Summer and Charlotte could practically live there and do as they like.
Days passed, but Mark remained unconscious.
Summer received a call and got to know that Jazz had returned. So, she went to the airport with Charlotte to pick Jazz up.
The first thing Jazz said to Summer when he saw her was, "I'm truly sorry!"
Summer raised her brows as she was confused. "Why are you saying sorry out of nowhere?"
"For everything that my mother had done to you." Jazz carried Charlotte up in his arms. He was no longer the
youthful Jazz that she knew. There was more maturity and a sense of steadiness to him. "I never planned to come back. I really don't wish to see her anymore after I knew what she did to Mark..."
Yvette was his biological mother, and he did not know why she turned out to be like this. How brutal could she be to come up with the idea to end someone's life with a fire?
Her thinking and doings had made him afraid of her. She was no longer familiar to him, and he found her behaviour utterly unacceptable.
It was after this long period of time that he learned to accept the fact little by little.
