Chapter 829 Summer Has Harmed Herself
Josie, somewhat puzzled, inquired, “What do you mean?”
“Isn’t he the heir to the Bastille family, a person of great renown? Your tone didn’t seem quite appropriate.”
Josie sighed, revealing a touch of weariness, “There’s more to it. When I first met him, he was just a pampered young man who needed constant attention. He didn’t even want to be the heir.”
As Josie talked about Morgan, it was evident that she had a deep understanding of him.
Laura fell into a brief contemplation. It had only just occurred to her today, after hearing their conversation, how well-acquainted Josie and Morgan were with each other. There were very few individuals who would dare to address Morgan in such a casual manner, and Josie was one of them.
Josie, trying to bring Laura back to the present, asked, “What are you thinking about? Your phone is ringing.”
As she snapped back to reality, Laura retrieved her phone from her bag and answered, “Hello?”
When she heard the voice on the other end of the call, her expression shifted to one of shock. She promptly stood up and declared, “I need to go back immediately.”
Josie also got to her feet and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Laura’s lips turned pale as she shared the shocking news, “Summer tried to harm herself by slashing her wrists. I need to go back immediately.”
Josie’s surprise was evident as she grabbed Laura’s hand and offered, “Let me accompany you. The Olsen family needs someone stable right now, and you need all the support you can get. I’m here to help with whatever needs to be done.”
After a brief moment of hesitation, Laura nodded in agreement.
They rushed to the Olsen Residence, where they discovered Summer on the family estate. By the time she was found, there was a pool of blood around her, and she was barely clinging to life.
The news had a profound impact on Mark, who was almost overwhelmed by shock, and everyone was hastily making their way back to the residence.
Josie followed Laura to the scene, where several cars were parked at the entrance, including one belonging to Dexter.
Inside the house, some of the most renowned doctors in Wavery had gathered. They were busy examining various data and appeared deeply concerned. Claudia sat beside Summer, who remained unconscious. On the other side of the room, Dexter was holding Heather, whispering comforting words to
her.
Zach, leaning against the door, immediately turned his gaze toward Laura upon her arrival. When he noticed Josie standing behind her, his expression soured, and he questioned, “Why did you bring her
here?”
This voice caught Dexter’s attention. He turned his head, and his gaze landed directly on Josie.
Undaunted, Laura explained, “Josie gave me a lift because it was on her way.” She stepped forward and inquired, “How is she doing?”

The doctor let out a sigh after briefly reviewing the data. “Based on what we can see now, her suicidal thoughts appear to be a result of emotional instability. Her family needs to be prepared to help her manage her emotions.”
A heavy silence descended upon the room for what felt like an eternity.
Laura displayed a hint of awkwardness on her face as she replied, “We’ll make sure to be mindful of that.”
The doctor added, “Additionally, it seems Ms. Olsen is now suffering from claustrophobia. She must never be placed in confined or enclosed spaces again.”
Finally, Claudia spoke up, her mood weighed down by the situation. “Sum never had this issue before. How could this happen?”
“We’ll have to wait until Ms. Olsen wakes up to ask her.”
With that, the doctor left the room, leaving only a few people inside. Dexter gently patted Heather on the shoulder and rea*sured her, “She’s been saved, so there shouldn’t be any major issues now. The main thing is to talk to Mr. Olsen about canceling Summer’s punishment.”
As Dexter spoke, his gaze briefly flickered toward Josie before quickly looking away.
Claudia absorbed the information, her mood evidently heavy. “I’ll go talk to him. You all stay here,” she declared.
In a room filled with concerned individuals, Josie remained the only outsider. She leaned against the door, studying Summer’s face.
The deep scar on her wrist seemed to indicate genuine harm, but the idea of someone as profit-driven as Summer willingly attempting to end her own life remained baffling. It simply doesn’t make sense.
