As Leonardo refused to talk to Summer, Summer failed to persuade him. She pursed her lips and said,
"Forget it."
Leonardo got out of the car. He didn't take the wheelchair out of the trunk. Instead, he went around to
the other side of the car and opened the door to scoot Summer in his arms.
Summer struggled in his arms for a moment and said discontentedly, "Wheelchair."
"No wheelchair." Leonardo walked forward with Summer in his embrace and looked steadily forward.
He even didn't look down at Summer as he spoke.
Summer was upset and said, "Can you hold me all the time and not let me sit in a wheelchair? If not,
put me down immediately!"
Surprisingly, Leonardo stopped and looked down at her, saying in a serious tone, "Why not?" Summer
sneered and didn't want to argue with him anymore.
After entering the villa and going upstairs, Leonardo stopped at the door of the bedroom. He looked
down and discovered that Summer had fallen asleep.
After going out for dinner tonight, Summer played cards with Douglas and others for a long time. It was
natural that she was exhausted.
Leonardo gently carried her into the bed. He sat by the bed and quietly stared at Summer. Summer
closed her eyes and looked tranquil while sleeping. Her breathing was weak.
Leonardo leaned over and felt her breathing before looking up in relief.
After a while, he whispered, "Summer." Summer didn't answer him.
He called her name once again. There was still no response.
She had a sound sleep. Summer was listless. It would be difficult to wake her up once she fell asleep.
Since she was tired today, she probably would have a long sleep.
Leonardo picked her up again and helped her have a bath in the bathroom.
After having a bath, Summer would feel more comfortable.
Just as Leonardo placed Summer on the bed, he heard a faint knock on the door from outside.
It was past midnight. Apparently, it was Douglas.
Leonardo set the air conditioner at a suitable temperature and tucked Summer in before standing up.
He opened the door halfway. As he expected, it was Douglas standing outside. Leonardo walked out of
the bedroom and closed the door.
Before Douglas spoke, Leonardo said, "Go to the study."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the study. Douglas followed behind him.
As soon as he entered the study, Douglas wanted to ask Leonardo about Summer. However, Leonardo
interrupted him.
"How are you doing at school?" Leonardo sat upright behind his desk and asked with a serious
expression, as if he was Douglas' father, even though he and Douglas were of the same generation.
He brought up Douglas. Douglas considered Leonardo as his big brother as well as father.
Douglas wasn't stubborn and answered Leonardo's question.
Leonardo listened quietly with a calm face. Douglas could not tell his emotions. However, Douglas had
long been used to it. He continued to talk about his school life in a placid voice.
When Douglas finished speaking, he looked up at Leonardo. Leonardo didn't change his expression.
Douglas wondered if he had blinked his eyes.
Finally, Leonardo said, "Take good care of yourself."
Although he only said a few words, Douglas was moved. Many years ago, because of Douglas,
Leonardo didn't give up. And now, there were only them in the Emersons.
Douglas nodded heavily, "You have to take good care of yourself as well."
