Chapter 1245
Zephyr didn’t expect Jonathan to be from Strico. Naturally, Zephyr had heard about the Youngblood family of Strico and knew what kind of existence this family was in Strico.
It was really surprising that Jonathan would get involved in the matter with Riley.
“Mr. Youngblood, nice seeing you again,” said Zephyr.
Jonathan smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Scott, it’s not good for you to break into someone else’s ward without permission. If I call the police, it might also affect your reputation.”
“I’m just here to meet an old acquaintance. Now that I have seen her, it’s time for me to leave,” Zephyr said, glancing back at Riley, who was sitting on the hospital bed, “It seems that I really made the correct decision to not marry you back then.”
In response, Riley smiled and said, “Luckily, I didn’t marry you.” Riley was smiling, but her eyes were devoid of feelings.
Zephyr left with his men. Rosalie came forward and asked, “How are you, Riley? He didn’t do anything to you, did he?”
Riley shook her head. “Zephyr just came here and said a bunch of nonsense. Nothing else happened.”
Indeed, no matter what Zephyr said now, his words could no longer cause a stir in Riley’s heart.
“I didn’t expect that Zephyr would suddenly bring people into the ward will ask Jon to send some more people to guard the door later,” Rosalie said.
“Thank you. I don’t know when I can repay your kindness,” Riley replied.
“There’s no need for that. I’m helping you for Amelia because I think you shouldn’t be treated like this. There is always justice in this world,” stated Rosalie.
“Justice?” Riley couldn’t stop her eyes from shedding tears. If there really was justice, she wondered if she could really find out who caused the car accident and who killed Nicholas in the future.
“Nicholas…” Riley’s mind went back to the moment when the car accident

occurred. Nicholas suddenly turned the steering wheel, leaving the more dangerous side of the car to his side. At the moment of the collision,
Nicholas then unfastened his seat belt and jumped on Riley, using all his strength to protect her.
“Riley, you must live well.” Those were Nicholas’s last words that rang out in her ear.
Live… Being locked up in the psychiatric hospital, she sometimes felt so tortured to the point that she thought she was really crazy. Whenever she was about to give up on living, Nicholas’s last words would echo in her mind.
She was alive, but she no longer lived for herself. Rather, she lived for Nicholas.
She also needed to find out the real culprit of that car accident. She wanted to seek justice for Nicholas, so she couldn’t waste this life of hers that he had saved.
“An expert will examine you in two days. There will naturally be a conclusion about whether you have a mental illness or not at that time. So, please try to take a good rest and relax during these two days. When the time comes, you will be able to meet the expert in your best state,” Rosalie advised.
“Yes, I understand. I won’t waste this hard-earned opportunity,” Rilev replied.
Rosalie said a few more words of advice before leaving with Jonath
In the ward, Riley looked down at her mutilated right hand and murmured, “Nicholas, you will watch over me, right? I will definitely that assessment in two days safely. At that time…” She would be truly after that.
Some things could only be done when one was truly free.
Harriet had been nervous these past two days leading up to the day of Riley’s mental assessment. Today, she learned that Zephyr went to the hospital to see Riley.
She wondered why he went to see Riley and whether he still had feelings for the other woman.
Once the diagnosis came out as Riley not being mentally ill, then the
target would surely point to the Summer family. At this time, the

Summer family must have a firm grasp on their ties with the Scott family.
Thinking of this, Harriet took a breath and walked to Zephyr. “Zephyr, I made a video call with Hendrick today. He is having a good time outside with his grandparents!”
“Is that so?” Zephyr replied nonchalantly.
Harriet tugged the collar of her nightgown slightly and put on an enchanting posture while approaching the man in front of her. “Hendrick is seven years old. He will be a teenager in a few years. He asked me during our video call today when will we give him a younger sibling. It seems like he really wants to be an older brother.”
Zephyr lightly said, “Kids are always whimsical. You should have just answered whatever to placate him.”
“But I really want him to be an older brother as well,” Harriet said. “Zephyr, let’s have another child. We only have Hendrick, and it’s too lonely for him in this house. Besides, your parents and mine already often urge us to have another child.”
Even if it was impossible for her to conceive, she could use her means to find a substitute to help her give birth to the child. However, Zephyr needed to sleep with her first for her to carry on with the plan.
Although they had been married for so many years, he never touch
her.
Harriet even wondered if Zephyr was impotent. After marrying him felt as if she was a widow.
Even her parents-in-law had forced him to have a physical examinati but the results all came back normal.
Zephyr only calmly said that if she didn’t want to accept such a marriag then she could get a divorce at any time.
Divorce… There was no way Harriet would be willing to do that.
She had finally become his wife. Besides, she really loved him. Divorce was out of the question for her.
