Summer did not reply. There was a division between her and Yvette that she could not bring herself to smile naturally. Instead, she faked one by curling her lips.
She was a straightforward person who refused to be pretentious. She would simply express how she felt.
"I know that everything that I have done is wrong. I was blinded. I cannot even beg for your forgiveness. But I am very glad that you still visited me today. It has been a very long time since I have been this joyful."
Yvette wiped her tears and turned toward Summer." I'm really sorry for all the things I've done. I'm sorry. Thank you for always caring for Mark. After I've served my sentence, I will redeem myself sincerely."
Summer looked at her and remained silent. Her heart was still hardened, and mere words weren't enough to soften it.
For her to visit Yvette, it was already a huge feat.
Yvette clearly knew that she had treated Summer very badly. Thus, the reception toward her was nothing extraordinary, but she couldn’t wish it to be any better.
Although it was a brief meeting, Yvette couldn't stop
smiling. Even after being led back into her cell, she remained cheerful.

A week later, Mark bought a pregnancy test kit and wanted to personally examine her. Summer blushed and chased him out.
Thus, she remained in the washroom while he waited outside.
Moments later, she emerged, and he inquired about the results impatiently.
