Chapter 1246
In Zephyr’s mind, Riley’s forehead was wrapped in gauze, and her face was pale.
He reassured inwardly, “Why did I still think about her? I had no feelings for that woman
long ago. Harriet is my wife now.”
Zephyr closed his eyes and suddenly took the lead in their kiss as if he wanted to get rid
of the distractions in his mind.
“Yes, I love him. I love Nicholas, and I hate myself only to realize now.” Riley’s voice kept
echoing in Zephyr’s mind.
It was like a spell.
Zephyr opened his eyes abruptly and stopped all the movements.
“Zephyr, what’s wrong?” Harriet opened her eyes, feeling puzzled.
“I have something to deal with in the study. Go ahead and sleep alone first,” Zephyr
replied while he pushed Harriet away and stood up to walk toward the room’s door.
“Zephyr!” Harriet shouted. “Why… Why have you kept refusing to be intimate with me?
Do you really care about Riley that much? You even went to visit her in the hospital at
such a time.”
Zephyr suddenly halted his footsteps and turned to look at Harriet. His sharp eyes made
her body shudder uncontrollably.
“How did you know I went to the hospital today?” Zephyr asked.
“I-I just heard the people in the hospital mentioning it,” Harriet replied awkwardly.
“It seems the hospital also has your Summer family’s informant, but I advise you not to
make any mistakes messing around. If something happens to Riley now, the first target to
blame will be the Summer family, and the Scott family will also be affected unavoidably.
What you should do now is to pray for her safety on the consultation day,” Zephyr warned
mercilessly.
Harriet bit her red lips and retorted, “Do you care so much whether she is safe? You long
for her, but that doesn’t mean she has the same feelings as you. Last night, she even

person she loves is Nicholas!”
Although the Griffin family had banned the news about their cemetery from leaking, the
Summer family had sent people to keep close to their actions those days. So, Harriet
naturally got the information about that.
In an instant, Zephyr’s expression became extremely sullen. “If you dare to mention
Nicholas again, get out of this manor!”
Harriet bit her lips fiercely and did not dare to say anything more. She could only watch
Zephyr leave the room.
Her hands clenched into fists, and her nails kept stinging her palms.
Harriet mused in jealousy, “Riley will always have a place in Zephyr’s heart. I’d never live
a peaceful and comfortable life if she didn’t disappear from this world!”
Two days later, the consultation finally came. Riley underwent the examination provided
by the top psychiatrist in Lommore. It lasted for three days.
Three days later, the results of the consultation were also made public.
Riley’s mental state was completely normal. Although she had some depression, it was not
considered a mental illness.
At the same time, a physical examination report was issued together. The report showed
the results of all kinds of old injury traces on Riley.
It could be confirmed that there were many injuries caused in the past few years,
including old injuries such as bone fractures and being scalded by cigarette butts, not to
mention the loss of her right ring finger.
When the two reports were out, the Summer family and the psychiatric hospital where
Riley once stayed became targets of public criticism.
Many netizens even browsed the official website of Summer Group and the hospital to
leave a message accusing them.
Moreover, the netizens also dug up all the information about Riley’s attending physician
on the internet.
Bang!
Peter smashed his phone to the ground in the Summer residence’s hall. At that moment,
netizens were scolding the Summer family and him with all kinds of harsh words. They
directly accused him as a scumbag, a

bad example for his children, and a heartless man. Someone even commented that Peter
was the mastermind who planned the death of his first wife.
Peter had never been scolded like that and got furious instantly.
Meanwhile, Larissa was also seething with anger. Because of the incident with Riley, her
being a mistress back then had been dug out again, and she could not stand to read those
insults on the internet.
Larissa said, “What should we do, Peter? Many reporters are outside now, and they have
no good intentions. It’s like they are afraid of not being able to dig up any explosive news.
We have to figure out a
countermeasure as soon as possible. Otherwise, the bitch, Riley, will lead us by the nose.”
Peter replied with hatred, “That damn girl is such a trouble. Now, she even frames us like
this. She should have died in the hospital if I had known it earlier. I insisted on making her
pay for it since she made things turn out like this. I have to go to the hospital and ask her
what exactly she plans to do. Could it be that she’ll only be contented after ruining our
family?”
“Dad, we’re going to the hospital, but not to question Riley. Instead, we have to pick her
up,” Harriet said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPeter shouted in anger, “What? We even have to bring her home?”
“Yes, and we have to bring her home happily. Riley has suffered so much in the hospital.
We have to care about and cherish her. However, the injury on her body was caused by
herself. After all, no one could tell when a mental patient went mad or what kind of
behavior she would do when she went crazy. Anyway, she has turned normal after all
these years of treatment and recovery. Shouldn’t we be happy for her?”
Harriet’s words made Peter and Larissa immediately understand the situation.
“Yes, you’re right. We should pick her up happily,” Peter agreed.
“When Riley returns, the scandal will settle down after some time. By that time, she will be
under our control again. Even if she has several friends to help her, it doesn’t matter. The
Summer family and the Scott family are still powerful in Lommore. No one else can stand
up for her!” Harriet looked like she had everything under control.

The reporters at the entrance were the best witnesses.
Therefore, the three of them went to the hospital, followed by a large number of reporters.
Meanwhile, Riley was packing up her things in the hospital.
In truth, she had nothing to pack up, just some medicines dispensed by the hospital and
clothes, shoes, and toiletries Rosalie bought for her these days.
The eldest daughter of the Summer family, who used to be energetic, now had nothing.
What she had left was a scarred body.
There was still one hour left before Rosalie promised to pick her up at the hospital. Riley
turned on her phone and began to browse trending news online.
As expected, she was also on the trending topic.
Many netizens blessed her and felt wronged for her, hoping that she could live a normal
life again.
However, there were also some comments about Nicholas and Zephyr.
