Summer was moved by what Kate said.
Whenever she thought of Kate, the first thing that appeared in Summer mind was the scene when she
first met her.
Now Summer realized that Kate was just an ordinary woman who would age, get sick and die.
Putting aside the things that Kate had done, Summer felt a pity for her.
Kate was young, beautiful, and clever.
Such a young and energetic person shouldn't pass away like this.
Summer lowered her eyes and asked Kate, "You are really going to give up the treatment?"
As they talked about Leonardo, Summer suddenly changed the topic. Kate was stunned for a moment
before she reacted.
"Whether I give up or not, the result won't change." Kate gave a faint smile.
Only then did Summer notice that Kate's condition had got worse.
She felt sorry for Kate, but she did not know what to say.
Kate continued to talk about Summer and Leonardo.
"Leonardo is not a fickle person. Once he falls in love with a woman, he will spend his whole life with
her. There may be a misunderstanding between you guys."
Summer could tell that Kate was trying to persuade her to be reconciled with Leonardo.
Summer thought for a moment and said, "You know Leonardo. The problem between him and I did not
arise overnight. Although it was a little sudden this time, there were signs that we will end up like this
sooner or later."
Leonardo was too self-centered, stubborn and paranoid.
He wouldn't back down on many things.
When he got mad, he might directly lock Summer up to prevent her from going out.
Sometimes he adopted extreme methods.
As Summer recalled, it was the trivial things that led them here.
It was hard to understand one's feelings.
If she was told Leonardo had fallen out of love with her, she wouldn't believe it.
She wouldn't believe Leonardo had stopped loving her. Instead, she believed he just wanted this to
end.
Why? Perhaps he was tired of it.
Kate's voice brought Summer back to reality.
"You know, when Leonardo was little, he was very cute, like other boys. We grew up together. As his
big sister, I got to understand many things earlier than him, but..."
Kate paused for a few seconds. Then she continued, "Something happened to our mother. And
Leonardo changed a lot. At first, he ignored everyone. One day, he ran out and stood in the middle of
the road. He wanted to die. I will never forget how he looked at that moment. He was scary, like a
monster."
Summer knitted her brows fiercely, "He’s not…"
"Right. He's not a monster." Kate said self-deprecatingly, "I should have cared more about him at that
time and helped him. But I didn't, and I even wanted to control him after he grew up..."
Summer knew what happened afterwards.
She also felt sorry for what Leonardo had experienced.
She didn't want to hear more of it from Kate, so she stood up and said, "I've got things to do. I have to
go now."
Kate didn't stand up. She just said, "Bruce, see Ms. Summer out."
Bruce showed up from nowhere in a well-ironed suit and his beard had been shaved off. There was a
resolute look on his face. To Summer's surprise, he was quite handsome.
Summer couldn't help but glance at him.
Bruce walked to Summer with a stern expression and said, "Ms. Summer."
Summer turned around and walked out, and Bruce followed her at a gentle pace.
After she walked out of the gate, Summer felt that he was still following her.
She turned around to look at him, and Bruce stood upright. He didn’t dodge or blink. It seemed that he
wanted to say something.
Summer asked him, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
"I think her illness can be cured." Bruce said directly. Summer knew he was talking about Kate.
Summer narrowed her eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
"As you can see, she refuses the treatment. She wants to die. Leonardo brought her back, but that was
all. He doesn't care for her." Bruce looked at Summer, as his deep voice was similar to Leonardo's.
"What do you want me to do? Tell Leonardo that he should send Kate to the hospital? I feel sorry for
Kate's illness, but that's all. She doesn't want to be cured. No matter how much we do, it will just be a
burden for her."
Summer's expression was cold, and her tone was emotionless.
Bruce's expression did not change at all. He seemed to be musing about Summer's words and did not
show any anger.
After a while, he said, "No."
Summer felt that Bruce was a little interesting, so she folded her arms and listened to him.
"It's not because she wants to die. She feels there's no point in living. If Leonardo talks to her... She
only listens to Leonardo now." Bruce paused. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Summer suddenly laughed, "You've got a crush on her?"
Bruce's expression froze, but he neither denied nor admitted it.
Although Summer didn't know how Bruce and Kate knew each other and what had happened between
them, his reaction proved that he loved Kate.
People who had made mistakes might not realize it until there was a great change.
Just like Kate... She didn't have much time left, so she began to regret what she had done.
Summer could imagine Kate's feelings now. Kate felt sorry for Leonardo. If he talked to her, she would
definitely listen to him.
Summer knew it even if Bruce didn't tell her.
Bruce was a mysterious man. Summer felt that he was tough-minded and not an ordinary person.
Summer was silent for a moment before she asked, "Bruce, what did you do in the past?"
Bruce's gaze instantly changed, with sinister and fierce.
Summer was shocked and immediately got vigilant.
Bruce said in an extremely deep voice, "Ms. Summer, do you know the X Organization?"
Seeing Summer's puzzled expression, Bruce knew she had never heard of it, so he explained, "Many
high-ranking officials know about the X Organization. They pay it for lives and information. As long as
they have the money, there is nothing they cannot buy."
Summer's eyes widened, "Paying for lives? So, you are ..."
Bruce curled his lower lip, letting out a cold aura of hostility.
"An assassin?" Summer said.
Bruce lowered his eyes and the fierce look on his face disappeared. He said sincerely, "Ms. Summer,
please do me this favor."
