Purple Summers watched him warily.

Nathaniel Summers discarded the butt of his cigarette and crushed it with the tip of his shoe, his tone indifferent, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. After all… you are my sister in name now, aren’t you?”

Purple Summers pursed her lips, silent.

Living under the same roof, avoiding each other was not an option, even if facing each other was the last thing they wanted to do. Sooner or later, some matters had to be clarified.

Purple Summers got into Nathaniel Summers’ car, aware that taking her to school was just a pretext. Nathaniel probably had more to say to her.

Yesterday, neither of them had been calm enough.

Nathaniel Summers started the car and took Purple Summers to school.

The journey was silent.

…

At the intersection, the car slowed to a stop at a red light.

As if he had marshaled his emotions, Nathaniel Summers began, “Yesterday, I was too impulsive. I apologize to you… At that time, when you suddenly met with an accident, I was in turmoil. Jade Carlson was afraid of taking responsibility and lied to the police, and I had my own concerns… worried that the autopsy would reveal drug substances in the body that couldn’t be explained. But I never abandoned you; I hired many boats to search for you downstream, but we never found you!”

Purple Summers sat quietly in the back seat, holding her bag.

Nathaniel Summers glanced at her in the rearview mirror before returning his focus to the road ahead. He also knew that some things were too late to say now.

“…What are your plans for the future?” Nathaniel Summers asked her.

Purple Summers looked up, her eyes clear as springs, devoid of any emotion.

“To live well,” she said.

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel Summers felt a dull pain in his chest.

Having died once and gotten her life back, of course, she had to live it well.

As the red light turned green, the cars at the crossroads began to move. Clutching the steering wheel, Nathaniel Summers continued to drive.

“I heard you’re investigating your own death,” Nathaniel Summers said in a low voice as he drove.

The corners of Purple Summers’ lips turned up slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, “Did Jade Carlson tell you that?”

Nathaniel Summers’ expression faltered, a gloominess spreading across his brow.

“Yes,” he nodded slightly, “Both Jade and I are responsible for your death. I won’t shirk my responsibility. After all, it happened on the yacht I arranged. If you need anything, I will do my best to assist you.”

Faced with the issue of her own death, Purple Summers dropped her sarcasm and said flatly, “Thank you, but I think there’s no longer a need to continue the investigation. From the existing evidence, it appears to be an accidental death caused by a drug reaction. You must be aware that some people are prone to allergies and even safe medications can have severe side effects. Perhaps I was just that unlucky, experiencing dizziness and hallucinations, and ultimately falling to my death.”

Nathaniel Summers’ breathing became strained, his mouth filled with bitterness.

According to Purple Summers’ words, her death had been caused by him and Jade Carlson…

If she hadn’t drunk that tampered with drink, she wouldn’t have gotten dizzy and fallen off the boat; if she hadn’t gone to the bow alone, at least there would have been someone nearby to reach out and grab her when trouble arose.

Nathaniel Summers breathed slowly, each breath feeling like a ball of fire scorching his lungs and piercing his heart.

“Let’s talk about Alexander Summers…” he gripped the steering wheel tightly, staring at the road ahead, “Alexander set up a Five Yin Tree geomancy formation at home, and that’s no coincidence. Don’t you think he has ulterior motives? Otherwise, why would he engage in such crooked practices after your death?”

“You don’t need to sow discord,” Purple Summers’ gaze was cold, “You don’t have to make any sordid guesses either. I can tell you that before my death, Alexander and I were innocent and did nothing to wrong you. As for after my death… I think, my affairs with him should no longer concern you.”
