There was a loud bang. Summer couldn't help but lean forward and hit the back of the chair heavily.
She could feel ringing in her ears. It was like countless flies were flying in them.
Her head was very heavy. She tried hard to raise her head, but she couldn't make it. It was as if
someone was pressing it down.
Summer began to have trouble catching her breath. She tried to hold her fists, but it was very difficult
for her to bend her fingers.
Summer was very dizzy. She knew that she was injured, but she didn't know if it was very serious.
Breathing became more difficult for her, and her vision went foggy, her sight was getting dim.
In her trance, she heard sirens going, then someone opened the car door.
"Summer? Are you all right?" The man's voice was familiar.
It seemed to be Bruce. Yes, it was indeed him.
Summer was relieved. She moved her lips, trying to answer his question, but she could not make a
sound.
She took a deep breath and calmed down a little, then she fainted.
Summer had a dream. She was only seven years old in the dream. She was a pretty little girl at that
time. She was very lively and clever. Her classmates and teachers liked her very much. Even so, Karen
did not change her opinion of Summer.
When Summer returned home happily with her A paper, Karen never felt happy for her, let alone praise
her.
"You got A again? Didn't I tell you not to do so well in the exam?" Karen looked at Summer seriously in
displeasure. It seemed that Karen was never satisfied with her excellent grades. It was as if Summer
had done something bad. The smile faded slowly from Summer's face. She whispered, "I got A last
time. My teacher told me to work harder."
But Karen didn't listen to her. She threw Summer's paper on the ground heavily. "But Vicky is not
happy!"
Then she began to scold Summer, "I've told you so many times. Don't work so hard. That will make
Vicky unhappy. You must not get A next time."
Summer lowered her head and looked very obedient, so Karen was not that angry. She stroked
Summer's head and changed her cold tone. Karen turned to say gently, "Summer, I'm doing this for us.
You don't want me to suffer in the Jarrett's, do you?" At that time, Summer was too little to understand
what Karen really meant. Summer only wanted Karen to live a good life.
She wanted her and Karen to live well, and she didn't want Karen to have a hard time. So, Summer
shook her head. Karen smiled with satisfaction, "Good girl. Remember not to get A next time. It's best if
you fail."
Summer never knew why her bad grades could make their life at the Jarrett's easier. But she always
listened to Karen. She wanted to make Karen happy.
So, in the next exam, she filled the paper with wrong answers. In the end, she only got C.
Her teacher was very disappointed in her, but Karen was very satisfied.
Summer even got Karen's praise. "Summer, well done."
