CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Lila visited Summer, whose condition had visibly deteriorated. "Looking at you now, do you regret any of it?" Lila asked.

If Summer hadn't been so fixated on Ben, she wouldn't have ended up this way, consumed by obsession.

Summer gave a bitter smile. "With so many twists and turns in life, who even has the right to speak of regret?"

She reached out and held Lila's hand tightly. "Lila, let my experience be a lesson to you. Make sure you see things clearly and never do anything foolish for someone who doesn't love you." It was sound advice, and Lila couldn't help but feel indignant on Summer's behalf.

But her indignation was meaningless. Back then, all she had wanted was to make things difficult for Jamie. In the end, it had backfired, leaving her worse off.

"I'm sorry, Summer," Lila said remorsefully. "I couldn't even help you get justice. I still carry that guilt."

"You don't owe me an apology," Summer replied gently. "You came to see me and cared enough to think of me. That's more than enough."

She paused, her tone serious. "Don't make an enemy of Ben for me. And whatever you do, don't go after Jamie. You're no match for either of them."
