If Nathaniel Summers hadn’t fallen for her, he wouldn’t have gone through such inhuman treatment, and his life would have been open and bright, just like that of all other wealthy heirs, carefree.
If Jade Carlson hadn’t been coerced and manipulated, why would she bother to seduce a married man? There was no shortage of single young talents at the Prosecutor’s Office, not to mention those who came from wealthy families!
The seed of malice was in Jade Carlson’s heart, and Alexander Summers was undoubtedly the one who watered and fertilized it!
This realization caused Purple Summers unspeakable pain!
“He was supposed to have a better life, not ruined by my hands.” Purple Summers closed her eyes, letting the tears fall, “Do you understand? I can’t get over this hurdle! I just can’t!”
The tragedy unfolded in a domino effect—she destroyed Nathaniel Summers, she destroyed Jade Carlson, including Evelyn Willard’s death, which she was inextricably linked to!
Alexander’s expression stiffened instantly.
“It’s not your fault.” Alexander held her tightly, “It has nothing to do with you, it’s all my doing.”
Indeed it was Alexander who had done it, but what about the cause? The cause and the source still lay with Suzanne Saunders!
She cried out in agony, “I was busy with work, it was always him who went to the nursing home to accompany Grandma. The grandpas and grandmas there all liked him, you didn’t know how good he was then! To prevent Grandma from forgetting her medication, he made a special chart to hang on the wall, and labeled each medicine bottle, calling the caregiver to remind them to put on warm knee guards for Grandma on rainy days, why has it become ? Why has it turned into this?!”
Alexander’s face turned extremely ugly; his worst fear had finally come true.
He was indeed despicable, using all means to mislead Suzanne Saunders, making her believe that Nathaniel Summers had betrayed his marriage, and even plotted to murder his wife for the insurance money.
He just wanted to tear the two of them apart, whether it was the formality of marriage in reality or the heart-to-heart connection between lovers, he wanted to destroy it all!
But now, he was reaping what he sowed—
His sins had become Suzanne’s guilt! The greater the hurt that Nathaniel suffered, the deeper Suzanne’s sense of guilt! She might never be able to let go for the rest of her life!
Alexander’s voice was hoarse, “How do you want to make it up to him?”
Purple Summers clutched his arm tightly, her voice hiccupping through sobs after crying so much, “Find that hypnotist, help Nathaniel lift the hypnosis! We can be together, but Nathaniel… he shouldn’t be our sacrificial lamb!”
Alexander pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, “Okay.”
Jade Carlson was dead, the hypnosis from back then had become meaningless, but if it could comfort Purple Summers’s heart, the trouble was worth it.
Seeing him agree, Purple Summers cried again, tears falling without reason.
She, like a wounded young animal, clung close to Alexander’s body, looking up to gently kiss the corner of his lips, sobbing, “Let’s leave Clearwater… stay far away from him, don’t hurt him anymore, also don’t… don’t anymore…”
“Don’t murder?” Alexander pinched her chin, looking into those tear-washed clear eyes, “If you don’t like it, I swear I will never kill again…”
“Don’t!” Purple Summers frantically covered his lips, stopping him from continuing.
“…Don’t swear.” She buried her head into Alexander and embraced him, her delicate arms tightly hooked around his neck, her heart filled with both anguish and confusion.
Alexander killing would cause her pain, but if Alexander were to be killed, she would feel even more pain!
He was now in danger; if he swore off murder, what difference would it make from sending himself to his death?
Alexander sighed silently deep inside, gently stroking the trembling back of Purple Summers, whispering softly, “I understand, I understand everything…”
I understand everything, you love me.
