Chapter 402
Dean was not visiting Nokoc Bay for the first time. He had been there quite a number of times over
the past four years. So he was no stranger to the ce.
The room was dusty after a few days of being empty. Summer asked Charlotte to turn on the TV for
Dean before she started cleaning the room.
Summer cleaned room after room from inside out. There were two rooms which were just enough for
them. One for her and Charlotte and another one for Dean.
She hung all of Dean''s clothes in his wardrobe and changed his sheets.
She made some light food and purposely brewed some bone broth. After everything was served on the
table, she went and called them for lunch.
Charlotte was showing excellent manners. After Summer was donedling out the soup into small
bowls, she first served it to Dean, then Summer, and herselfst.
Lunch was very harmonious. While they were eating, the police station called Dean to get him to finish
up the analysis reports for a few cases.
Summer arched her brows. "Why should you look at the analysis right after your surgery? Even if they
need you, they have got to wait for at least two
weeks!"
Dean smiled. "It''s an emergency case, it has been one year since the case was registered. We don''t
get traces every day, so we can''t let it slip away easily. But I''ll be done with it in two hours."
"Okay, I won''t interfere with your work but you have to be disciplined. In a day, you should spend two

hours for work and three for your leg exercises.”
"Sure." Dean nodded. He himself was also aware of his current condition. He wasn’t fit for working long
hours at all.
After they were done with their lunch, Summer cleaned up the table. Charlotte went to do her
homework and Dean was working on his paperwork o n hisptop.
She was still exhausted so she couldn''t stay up anymore. She went into her room and slept for a few
hours again. The next thing she knew, it was already six o''clock. The sky was starting to get dark due
to the rain.
She realized that Dean hasn''t got any men''s goods yet. She then told Charlotte to behave before
leaving to the market to get some fresh vegetables and some ribs. After she was done, she went over
to the supermarket.
She bought everything that was necessary, from towels, toothpaste, toothbrush, men''s slippers, shaver,
t o home wear.
It tended to rain a lot during the summer in Nocok Bay. And when it does, it pours continuously. It
had been raining for a whole day now, and it was showing no sign of stopping. Instead, it grew even
heavier.
She went to the entrance of the stairwell. Her sweater was already damp from the rainwater. She
lowered her head and shook the raindrops off her umbre.
"Oh, isn’t it Ms. Hart?”
Summer looked upward. Standing in front of her was the chubby Beth. She was around the age of fifty,
and she was holding a bag of popcorn in her hand.
They lived on the same floor and would greet each other whenever they met, nothing more than that.
Summer nodded to her and said, "Hey, Beth."
"Your door was locked for a few days. I thought you don’t live here anymore."
"Yep, I went to Santabaca."
"Come to think of it, I saw you pushing a man on a wheelchair this afternoon. He looked as if he
couldn’t walk. Let me tell you something, don’t just bring any men back to your house. You''re still
young. Even with Charlotte, I''m sure you can still find a decent man and remarry. Don’t let a disabled
man ruin your reputation." Beth said charmingly while eating her popcorns.
Her words sounded extra harsh to Summer. With a stomach filled with rage, Summer uttered every
single word clearly as she responded to Beth.
"Beth, please be more respectful the next time you open your mouth. He is not just a man, he is my
fiance, and we’re getting engaged soon. Also, he is not disabled. He just has some difficulties moving
his legs for the time being. Please leave yourself out of my business!"
