Telling from Leonard's tone, Tim guessed something might have happened. Without asking, Tim
immediately hung up to book the ticket.
After booking the ticket, he drove to Leonard's villa. When he arrived, Leonard happened to come
downstairs. Tim nodded slightly and called out, "Mr. Emerson."
Just as Leonard was about to speak, he heard a sudden movement coming from upstairs.
The carved handrails on the stairs in the villa were made of wood. There was a gap between each one.
When Leonard turned around, he saw Rosie kneeling on the stairs. Holding the handrails on the stairs,
through the gap in the middle, she stared at Leonard eagerly.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Normally, Rosie wouldn't wake up so early. Today was an
exception.
Rosie had just woken up and was still in a daze. Lying on the armrest of the stairs, she stared
downstairs with sleepy eyes. Receiving her gaze, one might soften his heart.
Tim saw that Leonard did not move, so he called out to her, "Rosie."
Rosie frowned and replied, "Yes."
When Rosie was not very clear-headed, she did not speak much.
A servant walked over. At the sight of Rosie, she was shocked. "Mr. Emerson..."
Leonard coldly glanced at the servant. "Quickly take her upstairs."
"Yes."
The servant hurriedly took Rosie upstairs and helped her get dressed. Then she brought Rosie down.
Rosie's mind was much clearer. When she was carried down by the servant, she fixed her eyes on
Leonard.
Leonard reached out to her, and she spread her arms, expressing her willingness to let Leonard hug
her.
Leonard carried her onto the sofa with a serious expression as if he was talking to an adult. "I need to
leave home now."
Clenching her small hands, Rosie looked up at him and asked in a sweet voice, "Where are you
going?"
Rosie's reaction was somewhat similar to Summer's. Leonard adjusted her slightly messy bangs and
said softly, "I'll go to look for Summer."
"Mommy!" When Rosie heard Summer's name, her eyes lit up.
Leonard replied indifferently, "Yes."
Rosie immediately said, "I want to go with you."
It had been a long time since Rosie saw Summer, and she missed Summer very much.
Leonard rejected Rosie with a serious look, "No."
"I miss Mommy!" Rosie clenched her small fist and looked at him angrily.
Leonard did not waver because of her angry appearance look. He said in a low voice, "You must be
obedient at home."
Rosie pursed her lips, and her eyes were filled with tears. Tim, who was standing at the side, feel
extremely distressed.
"Mr. Emerson, how about...." Before Tim could finish, Leonard flicked a cold glance at him, who then
immediately shut up.
Leonard was a man of his words. He said that he wouldn't take Rosie along with him, and he meant it.
Rosie was just a child. In the end, she couldn't help but cry loudly, "I want to see Mom. You want to see
her, and me too...."
Leonard stopped talking to her and turned around to instruct the servant, "Take her upstairs."
"I don't want to go!"
Normally, Rosie was very obedient in front of Summer. Although she was a little naughty in front of
Leonard, she was a good girl most of the time. However, she had indeed inherited Summer's
temperament.
Whatever Leonard said was fine, but if he didn't agree to look for Summer with Rosie, Rosie couldn't
hold back any longer. She cried loudly in the arms of the servant, pounding like an angry kitten.
While crying, Rosie shouted, "Mom. I want Mom!"
However, Leonard did not seem to have heard her. He walked outside and Tim stopped him with a
hesitant expression. "Mr. Emerson...."
"If you don't want to go with me, you can stay in Hoover City," Leonard said without looking back.
"Mr. Emerson, Rosie is too young. She hasn't seen Mrs. Emerson in such a long time. Now you have to
go out and leave her at home alone...."
Although Tim knew that Leonard had a tendency to get angry, he still spoke for Rosie.
People who had children tend to be soft-hearted.
Leonard turned around and looked at him with a serious face, "Are you teaching me what to do?"
Tim frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Emerson, don't you think you've been too cold to Rosie recently?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tim felt the intense cold aura from Leonard.
Tim dropped his head slightly and didn't dare to say anything else.
A few seconds later, Leonard suddenly called out his name, "Tim."
When Tim heard this, he looked up at Leonard and discovered that Leonard's eyes were gloomy.
Leonard's tone was extremely indifferent, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with
him. "If it weren't for Rosie, Adams wouldn't have had the chance to threaten us to go to the island."
Having worked for Leonard for so many years, Tim knew what Leonard meant even if the latter didn't
put everything on the table.
What Leonard meant was that if it weren't for Rosie, those things wouldn't have happened.
"But what's wrong with Rosie?" Tim was talking to Leonard from a father's point of view.
"It wasn't her fault, but mine."
"Mr. ..."
After Leonard finished, he strode away, not giving Tim the chance to say more.
Tim knew Leonard well. He always split hairs when Summer was involved.
It was not easy for Leonard to let go of the past. He had been living for years under the shadow of his
mother's incident. Now he could not let go of what happened to Summer. Therefore, after he recovered
his memories about Summer, he became cold towards Rosie.
He still loved Rosie, but he couldn't love her as purely as when he lost his memory.
In a disturbed state of mind, Leonardo needed time and the right approach to slowly open his heart. He
should take it easy.
Right now, the most important thing was to go to Country M to find Summer.
When Tim came back to his senses, he discovered that Leonard had already left the villa, so he
hurriedly followed him.
When Summer woke up, she felt dizzy.
She intended to reach out to massage her temples, only to find as if her hand was as heavy as a stone.
She was unable to lift it at all.
Summer was shocked and suddenly remembered what had happened.
At the airport, Vicky....
Summer was suddenly wide awake and looked around.
The room was tidy and empty. No one else could be seen.
Summer tried to put her arms on the bed to sit up. But she found that she could not make it, for she did
not have any strength.
Vicky kidnapped Summer and didn't ask anyone to watch her. Vicky must have predicted that Summer
would not be able to escape.
Summer felt limp all over, so Vicky must have drugged her.
Summer clenched her hands tightly and pursed her lips. She stared at the ceiling in dismay for a while
and then began to observe the room.
Unfortunately, she couldn't get a clue from the furnishings in the room.
