Chapter 292


    Raine was so agitated that her body, which had not yet recovered, was even more fragile. She was so


    angry that she could not breathe.


    The doctor came in, gave her IV fluids and some more instructions, and then left.


    Mark''s handsome face had been grim and calm since Summer left. He did not speak again after she


    left.


    Lying in bed, Raine''s eyes flickered over him. A glow o f joy rose in her heart. He signed the divorce


    papers!


    But then she thought of her own face, and the glow in her look and eyes dimmed again.


    She did not care about looks, but who would not care when a woman''s face was ruined like that?


    Mark got up from the couch and was striding his long legs out of the ward.


    Raine, who was half-leaning on the bed, sat up and stared at the figure, and asked, "Where are you


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    going? I ... Have nightmares..." Her voice was hoarse.


    He turned around and his eyes fell gently on her. In a deep voice, he answered, "I''m going to have a


    cigarette. I''ll be back soon..." "You can smoke right here, I don''t mind." She shook


    her head.


    "But I mind. You lie down and rest. I''ll be back soon..."


    Markid her down on the bed, gently pulled the nket over her with his big hands, and then turned


    and walked out of the room.


    Baine seemed as though she was about to say something, but the words reached her lips and she


    swallowed them back.


    Outside the room, in the long corridor, the tall, muscr figure reclined against the window, a cigarette


    between his slender fingers, the intense sarcasm and cold in his eyes swirling like smoke.


    His thin lips curled up coldly as he thought of the woman, as cold as ice.


    There was no need for a woman like that to cross his mind again!


    The next morning


    Summer woke up very early. Maybe she was not used t o sleeping in the hotel bed. Maybe she did not


    feel like sleeping at all.


    She felt that she had been half asleep all night and had not slept soundly.


    Today, she nned to go to school and quit.


    When she arrived at the school, she went directly to the principal''s office and told him the reason for


    hering.


    The principal was slightly shocked at first, after which he tried every means to retain her, but she


    insisted on resigning and could not promise him to stay.


    In fact, she knew only too well that the principal''s reason for keeping her was mostly because of him.


    "Now that you''ve made up your mind, I respect your decision, but if you want toe back, you’ll


    always b e wee back." The principal spoke with unusual fervor.


    Summer just smiled symbolically and saw Dean as she walked out of the school with a box in her


    hands.


    Dressed in a police uniform, he was talking to the owner of a restaurant across the street from the


    school, his body standing straight.


    Seeing her, Dean walked quickly over to her, took the box from her, and asked in surprise, "You have


    no ss today?"


    "I quit," she said lightly.


    "Why?" Dean then looked down at her belly, smiled awkwardly and said, "Look at my reaction."


    "Why are you here then?"


    "There was a rape case here some time ago. I’m here investigating the case." "Then I won''t disturb the


    kind and honest Officer


    Singleton who is investigating the case. I''ll go first.” Summer took the box in Dean''s hand.


    Dean looked at the time and said, "Why don''t you wait for me for a minute? I''ll finish up and drive you


    home.”
