Chapter 958: The Last Dignity
Chapter 958: The Last Dignity
The thin dress was already soaked, drenched in her sweat.
Watt Bennet wouldn’t take action; she stubbornly refused to take the initiative, preferring to suffer in silence, enduring until her entire body turned red, even if her blood vessels were to burst, she wouldn’t touch him again.
This was the only dignity she had left. Since he clearly didn’t want her now, why should she humiliate herself by clinging to him?
Watt Bennet’s fingertips trembled slightly, struggling for a long time, he finally picked up his phone and called the doctor.
About ten minutes later, when Summer Sutton was sent to the hospital, she seemed beyond help; her skin looked as if it had been scalded, her entire body was reddened, and her consciousness was utterly destroyed.
Watt Bennet accompanied her into the hospital, stayed with her through her treatment, remained by her side during her sleep, until Summer Sutton awoke the next day.
The moment Summer Sutton opened her eyes, she gazed up at the white ceiling, her expression bewildered.
After a long daze, her eyes stiffly turned to Watt Bennet beside her; seeing the mask still covering his face, recalling last night’s events, Summer Sutton’s heart felt as if it were immersed in icy water, completely chilled.
She understood why he didn’t want her.
He was making a great effort to sever ties with her!
Even in such a dangerous situation last night, despite her deep distress, all Watt Bennet could think about was how to maintain his own identity.
"Summer..." Watt Bennet rigidly reached out, attempting to comfort her, but Summer Sutton turned her face aside, avoiding his touch.
Her eyes were red, like a wounded person, and after waking, she didn’t linger much in the hospital room, instead, she threw off the bed covers, got up, and walked out the door.
If he wanted to be Watt Bennet, so be it!
Whoever he wanted to get involved with, let him go ahead!
He was someone she could no longer love...
"Summer!" Watt Bennet attempted to chase after her, but just as he opened his stride, a sharp pain suddenly struck his leg.
Stopping his steps, clutching his leg, he gritted his teeth and sat down on the bed helplessly...
Once Summer Sutton left the hospital room, she ran quickly, found a car outside the hospital, and returned to her Morning Garden.
Ariella Sawyer, unaware of what had happened to her last night, had been looking for her everywhere.
When Summer Sutton returned, Ariella Sawyer happened to be outside Morning Garden.
Seeing her come back, Ariella Sawyer hurriedly ran up, "Oh, my dear, where did you go last night? You worried me to death; I searched for you for so long. You didn’t answer your phone; do you know how anxious I was about you?"
Summer Sutton acted as though she hadn’t heard, continuing to walk on as if in a daze.
Her demeanor left Ariella Sawyer taken aback.
Noticing her unusual expression, Ariella Sawyer asked with concern, "What’s wrong?"
"It’s nothing," Summer Sutton replied faintly and headed inside.
Once back in her bedroom, she took a hot bath, locking herself in the bathroom for a long, long time.
Ariella Sawyer felt that something was particularly wrong with her today, afraid anything might happen, she sat quietly downstairs, waiting.
When Summer Sutton later came downstairs, she skipped breakfast and went straight to the company.
As soon as she sat at her desk, Rain Carter approached her direction.
"By the way, Summer, can you deliver some documents to Mr. Bennet at the Shining Sky Group later on?" Rain Carter instructed, turning away, but behind her, Summer Sutton resolutely declared, "No way!"
Her refusal was straightforward.
She seemed to forget she was still just an intern, merely a new recruit at Royal Delight.
