Violet struggled frantically when she was stopped by Tim, "Let me go! I don't want to die! I don't want to
see Daisy!"
Daisy was the name of Leonardo's mother.
Daisy was already dead, but Leonardo said he wanted to take her to see Daisy. She still didn't want to
die.
Leonardo said impatiently, "Let her be quiet."
Tim crossed Violet's hands, covered her mouth, and pushed her back into the chair.
Violet shook her head and struggled as hard as she could, but her body was weak, so she didn't have
much strength to get away from Tim.
Leonardo said coldly, "Are you afraid to see her?"
Violet couldn't make a sound, just kept drooling. Leonardo stared at her and thought she was very
strange.
This woman was his aunt. When he was a child, she had been very kind to him, and he had once
treated her like a family member. She was cowardly and foolish, harming others and herself.
Summer woke up at the crack of dawn.
She habitually reached out her hand and felt for the place beside her, but no one was there. This woke
up Summer, who was still not fully awake.
The place next to her was not only empty, but also cold. This meant that the man who was supposed to
be sleeping here woke up early or didn't sleep there at all.
Summer startled. Then she sat up quickly in bed and checked the time. It was only six o'clock in the
morning.
She got out of bed and walked out of the door, ready to find Leonardo.
The curtains in the hall were not drawn. There was no light in the lounge, but it was clearly visible,
though it was dark.
Summer looked straight into the study. She guessed that Leonardo might have been in the study, but
as she was about to lift her foot, out of the corner of her eyes she saw a man sitting on the sofa.
It was Leonardo.
He sat motionless on the sofa and didn't make a sound, which was why Summer didn't notice him in
the first place.
Summer tentatively called to him, "Leonardo?"
Her voice was low, but it was silent in the hall. Her voice was loud enough for Leonardo to hear.
After a few seconds, Leonardo slowly turned to look at her. Only then did Summer see his face and his
red eyes.
"What's wrong?" Summer hurried to him.
She stood before him, stroked the new stubble on his chin, and asked, "Have you been up all night?"
She raised her eyes and looked around. When she returned to her room last night, Tim and Violet were
still there. She did not know where they were now.
Feeling her hand being held, Summer came to herself. It was Leonardo who took her hand.
"What happened?" Summer held his hand and looked down at him.
Leonardo seemed to be in a terrible state.
Summer frowned, "I'm worried to see you like this."
"Lester told me everything. I know where she is, but I don't dare to see her." Leonardo said in a husky
and shaking voice, revealing his undisguised vulnerability.
Summer was shocked, "You mean her, your mother?"
Leonardo nodded silently.
Summer had never seen Leonardo like this, fragile as if he were going to break down the next minute.
In other words, he had already begun to collapse.
Seeing him like this, Summer couldn't help but cry, feeling as if a knife were stabbed into her heart.
She calmed down and squatted in front of him.
"I'll accompany you."
