Chapter 1247
Some of them were speculating that she would probably return to Zephyr’s arms.
[Nicholas is dead, while Riley has lost everything now. Who else but Zephyr can she rely
on to protect her?]
After that comment, someone else added to it. [Riley was good-looking back then, but
now… she’s no different from a disabled person after a finger. Zephyr can have any
woman he wants, so why would he take Riley back?

Besides, it would be funny if Riley were to throw herself into Zephyr’s arms. The fiancée
from back then is now willing to become a mistress, while the illegitimate daughter of a
mistress has now become the legally recognized wife!]
[Harriet has born a son for Zephyr. There’s no way Riley can threaten her position now.]
Looking at these comments, Riley simply felt amused.
She had never thought of going back to Zephyr again.
“How could these people think that a person who was hurt so deeply would go back to the
one who abandoned her when she needed help most?
If I was abandoned once, there would certainly be a second and third time.”
She didn’t want to be the one abandoned anymore.
Her love for Zephyr had long dissipated, and hatred was all that was left.
After a while, the door was pushed open. A bodyguard of about 30 years of age walked up
to Riley and said, “Ms. Summer, Mrs. Youngblood is on her way. She will arrive in a few
minutes. Let’s head to the hospital entrance first. When she arrives later, we can leave
right away.”
“Okay.” Riley nodded.
The bodyguards took the initiative to help Riley carry her luggage.
In addition to that particular bodyguard, Riley realized that more than 20 bodyguards
waiting outside her ward to escort her to the hospital

“Well, I’m just going to the hospital entrance. I don’t think I need so many people to
accompany me there.” Riley said, cognizant that all of them won’t be able to fit into the
elevator for a single trip.
“Mrs. Youngblood insists, as the hospital entrance is currently chaotic,” the bodyguards
said.
“Chaotic? Are there a lot of reporters outside?” Riley mused.
When Riley arrived at the hospital entrance, she found that there were not only reporters
but also members of the Summer family.
At that moment, Peter Summer, the man whom Riley was supposed to greet as her father
was talking about how much he loved Riley and how happy he was that Riley had finally
become a normal person after years of treatment in the hospital. Peter also said that he
would take Riley home and take good care of her. After all, she had been committing self-
abuse due to her mental illness over the years, a fact that distressed Peter. Now that Riley
had recovered, Peter believed that her self-abuse would be a thing of the past.
Right then, Riley couldn’t stand it anymore.
Riley had always been hypocritical toward her natural mother. Back then, Peter even
commanded the housekeepers at home, “Riley is mentally sick. Tie her up. I’ll be taking
her to the hospital for treatment!”
Riley struggled desperately and kept shouting, “I’m not sick. I’m n mentally ill. I am a
normal person!”
However, Peter said coldly, “Mentally sick people usually deny tha are sick. You’re really
sick in the head!”
Hearing Peter’s words made Riley feel as if she had been thrown int depths of hell.
Riley had always known that Peter didn’t love her. On the contrary, Pe hated Riley, but she
did not expect that he could be so evil to commit such an act.
At that moment, as soon as Peter saw Riley coming over, he immediately put on a fatherly
expression. “Riley, you’re finally out. I was about to go in and pick you up. I’m glad that
your illness is cured. Our efforts to get you treated all these years have not gone to waste.
Come, let’s go back. Your mother always had someone clean your room every day while

were not at home all these years, hoping that you be home as soon as possible.”
“My mother?” Riley sneered, “She passed away when I was three years old. Since when
did she get resurrected?”
Riley’s words immediately made the atmosphere at the scene awkward.
The smile on Peter’s face also froze. If it had been in the past, Peter would have slapped
Riley, but there were so many reporters around that he was forced to continue his
charade.
“Your biological mother died when you were three years old, but your stepmother Larissa
treats you like her own daughter. Over the years, Larissa has been worried about you and
often shed tears for you.”
Meanwhile, Larissa hurriedly stepped forward and said with teary eyes, “Riley, you have
suffered. I will love you more in the future. When I married into the Summer family, I
already regarded you as my own daughter.”
The smile on Riley’s face became more and more sardonic. “It turns out that you wanted
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto take all my mother had, even her husband and me?”
Larissa’s expression froze, her face alternating between anger and embarrassment.
At that moment, the smile on Peter’s face finally disappeared. “What are you talking
about, Riley? Is this how you talk to Larissa who has worke hard to raise you?”
Larissa lowered her head and sobbed as if she had been
incomprehensibly wronged.
At this moment, it seemed that the other members of the Summer family were all
innocent while Riley was the guilty one.
The reporters on the spot captured the scene with their cameras.
Harriet was secretly feeling smug. She didn’t expect that Riley would react that way.
“The tide of the trending topics would soon be reversed,” Harriet thought.
“Riley, how can you think that? Actually… Mom and Dad loved each other back then but
were separated by a myriad of incidents. Later on, when Mom found out Dad already had
a family, she kept a distance from Dad

till his first wife died. Mom sympathized with you. That’s why she loved you as her own on
the account of your late mother.”
Harriet’s remarks were obviously aimed at rebutting the attacks on the internet, which
accused Larissa of being a mistress.
“Really? Larissa never looked like she was holding back to me. If she did, she wouldn’t be
sleeping with Peter while he was still married to my mother. Otherwise, our age would be
more than two years apart,” Riley retorted.
Harriet’s expression changed slightly, but she still kept calm. “Riley, no matter what, we
are a family. We’re here to pick you up. Over the years, our family has suffered a lot on
account of your illness. Before this, the doctor said that you don’t know what you’re doing
whenever your illness acts up. That’s why you harbor so many misunderstandings about
us. But don’t you worry, I’ll clarify them with you one by one.”
While speaking, Harriet stepped forward and tried to hold Riley but was stopped by the
bodyguards beside Riley.
Filled with dissatisfaction, Harriet said, “Riley, why do you trust outsiders over your own
family? Can it be that someone is trying to use you to act against the Summer family?’
