Mr. Marsh’s Twins

“But Mrs. Brightwood, I think Rupert is an adult and he must take responsibility for his actions. In such a situation, he could turn himself in,” Summer said softly. “Perhaps that’s the only way for him to have a chance to reform. Hiding for a lifetime isn’t a solution, and it also puts his life at risk.”

“So, is he hiding?” Mrs. Brightwood’s eyes lit up with hope. “He wasn’t captured? He hid himself? Did he tell you? Where is he now?”

“I don’t know.” Summer quickly explained, “I really don’t know his whereabouts. I’m just looking at this rationally and analyzing the situation.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Seeing that the girl didn’t seem to be lying, Mrs. Brightwood’s eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, starting to cry… her emotions collapsed again.

Summer sat down on the edge of the bed, feeling sad as she held Mrs. Brightwood’s hand gently. “Mrs. Brightwood, no matter what, you and Mr. Brightwood should take care of yourselves. At this point, many things must be borne by Rupert himself; first, he needs to show up.”

“Summer, even if there were ten Ruperts, they couldn’t repay all this money.” Mrs. Brightwood looked up tearfully, placing all her hopes on her. “Summer, you’re a good girl; can you think of a way to help?”

Tens of millions! Summer’s heart skipped a beat. How could she come up with a solution?

At this moment, Spencer, who had finished sending a message, couldn’t help but interject again, “Even ten Summers couldn’t pay it back!”

Mrs. Brightwood looked at him in silence.

Summer pressed her lips together without glancing at him or warning him with her eyes because he was right; helping to repay the money was unrealistic given the large amount.

Then came Mr. Brightwood’s heavy sigh from the hospital room.

Meanwhile, a large wave of reporters drove towards the hospital. They came from various influential media outlets as if they had received some news and rushed from all directions.

About ten minutes later, Spencer checked his watch and estimated the time without urging her.

After comforting the elder Brightwoods and seeing their emotions stabilize somewhat, doctors and nurses came to check on them. The results showed no major health issues but suggested they stay for observation and receive some medication.

When Summer walked out of the hospital room, Spencer followed her towards the elevator.

As the elevator doors opened and people exited, only she and he stepped inside.

The doors closed and the elevator descended.

In the relatively confined space, Spencer couldn’t help but ask her, “Do you want me to help Rupert?”

Summer turned to him with confusion. “How?”

“Help him pay back the money,” Spencer added calmly. “If you ask me to help him, I can consider it.”

Summer thought he was crazy! Tens of millions! Burning money wasn’t done like this!

She rolled her eyes at him and quickly looked away, feeling not grateful but rather finding him unreasonable.

Ding! The elevator doors opened.

As she stepped out quickly, Spencer withdrew his gaze from her and followed her out. “I’m serious; I’m not joking with you!”

“Do you have too much money?” She walked briskly ahead and glanced back at him. “Use it for charity instead of cleaning up his mess!”

When Summer reached the hospital lobby entrance, she was startled by the influx of media rushing in. Instinctively stepping back, she ended up retreating right into Spencer’s arms.

Spencer took advantage of the moment to wrap an arm around her shoulders protectively with a burst of boyfriend-like strength.
