Mrs. Summers couldn’t bear to see Sharon suffer, but when she weighed that against losing her wealth and her place in high society, she knew she couldn’t endure such a fall.

How could she, a woman of her age, go from living as a lady of luxury to an ordinary woman?

Sharon had always believed she was her mother’s favorite. But now, hearing Mrs. Summers urge her to give up her chance at healing for the sake of the Summers family, she completely lost it.

“Eighteen years ago you switched babies and let me suffer outside for eighteen years. I finally came home, finally enjoyed a few days of the life I was supposed to have, and now you want me to give up fixing my hand for the sake of the Summers family? Are you even my mother? What am I to you? My hand hurts so badly I could die. If I miss the best window for treatment, it’ll be ruined for life. Did you even think about that? So what if the Summers family goes bankrupt? I’m Mrs. Luke now, the lady of the Luke family. As long as my hand recovers, I can easily get money from the Luke family to support you and Dad. That’s more than enough.”

Sharon stormed toward the door. She would never give up this chance to save her hand.

The hospital room door hadn’t closed all the way, so every word Sharon said carried clearly to Jensen, who was standing just outside. His lips curled into a bitter, mocking smile.

He couldn’t help but think of Natalie.

If it were Luke Corp in danger, and she had to choose between the company’s survival and her own hand, Natalie would have chosen Luke Corp without hesitation.

Because to Natalie, he-Jensen-was everything. Always her first choice.

But this woman, so good, so selfless…was the one he had lost.

And not only had he lost her, he couldn’t even protect her ashes.

A wave of heat rose up in Jensen’s chest, metallic and bitter, threatening to spill over.

Hansel saw him sway and instinctively reached out, but Jensen pushed his hand away.

“This is all my own doing. When Natalie loved me with her whole heart, I didn’t cherish her. Now she’s gone, and everywhere I look, I see her shadow. Hansel, tell me-do you think Natalie really died? Is there any chance she’s still alive?”

Hansel hesitated, unsure how to answer.

“Mr. Luke, with a fire that big…unless by some miracle, there’s no way she survived.”

Jensen’s face darkened further.

Inside, the argument between Sharon and Mrs. Summers only grew louder, but Jensen no longer had any desire to

stay.

“Let’s go. To the black market. I need to find Natalie’s ashes. And I want to see Witch Doctor. I want to know exactly what Natalie promised him five years ago to save my life.”

Hansel gave a small nod, silent.

He knew Jensen had always carried that doubt in his heart. When Natalie was alive, Jensen never dared ask, afraid it would ruin what they had. Now that she was gone, Hansel couldn’t guess what Jensen would do once he learned

the truth.

Back inside the room, Sharon and Mrs. Summers argued until their voices were hoarse. When they finally stepped out, Jensen was already gone.

The realization made Sharon snap.

“This is all your fault! If Jensen doesn’t fix my hand, forget the Summers family-I won’t even care about you and Dad anymore!”

Mrs. Summers had never imagined her daughter would say such a thing. Her chest heaved as she jabbed a trembling finger at Sharon.

“Sharon, I am your mother! Do you have any idea what I’ve done for you all these years? Now that the Summers family is in trouble, you only care about yourself? How can you call yourself a daughter of the Summers family?”

“Then don’t! If you won’t recognize me, fine. I’m still Mrs. Luke, Jensen’s wife. Without you, I’ll live even better! And today no one will stop me from fixing my hand!”

Her words were sharp, cold, and merciless.

The pain in her hand was unbearable. If Mrs. Summers truly cared about her, why should the fate of Summers Corp matter more than her suffering?

Mrs. Summers’ face twisted in anguish. Her lips moved as if to argue again, but before she could speak, rage and heartbreak made her vision go black. She fainted on the spot.

Sharon didn’t spare her a glance. She quickly grabbed her phone, demanded a nurse pull up Jensen’s number, and dialed again and again.
