Carl's voice was deep.
It didn't sound like his usual tone.
Jessica found Carl's hand under the quilt. She held Carl's hand and comforted him, "I'm fine. Don't
worry. It's not as serious as I broke my leg before."
Carl bit back the words he would like to have said.
He wanted to say that the situation this time was different.
'Forget it.'
Although he had mixed feelings, he finally said, "I see."
"I'll be fine in a few days. I have a lot of things in my studio to deal with. After resting at home for a few
days, I'll have to continue working. I've been resting for too long this time..."
Jessica comforted Carl and then talked about her work.
He loved her, so he didn't feel bored even if she said some nonsense.
Carl patiently listened to her before expressing his opinion, "There is no need to worry about your
studio. I will help you arrange it. There is no hurry to work. If you want something, just let me know."
Regardless of whether it was work or anything else, as long as Jessica wanted it, he would help her get
it.
He could do anything to help her get what she wanted.
He wasn't a good person.
Normally, Jessica would argue with him.
However, when she heard this, she felt exceptionally touched.
Perhaps because it was late at night, it was easy for her to let her guard down.
"You are spoiling me." Jessica said in a flirtatious tone.
Carl was amused by her words.
"That's what I want to do. If you are a good-for-nothing, you would stay at home and wait for me to feed
you every day."
Jessica was happy to hear this, but she said, "You won't do such a thing."
Carl only laughed and didn't say anything.
He hoped that Jessica was a good-for-nothing and relied on him every day. He would take her
wherever he went and not let her out of his sight so that he wouldn't lose her.
He often had such thoughts.
But if Jessica became such a person, she would be no longer the Jessica he loved.
He wasn't as paranoid as Leonardo.
He cared more about whether Jessica felt happy or not.
Everything else was secondary.
...
Jessica and Carl chatted until midnight. It was three or four o'clock when they fell asleep.
They were woken up by the doorbell.
Carl woke up first, and Jessica looked sleepy, asking, "What's up?"
"Someone is ringing the doorbell. Let me see who it is." Carl gently got up and walked towards the
door.
He saw Leonardo and Summer standing outside the door through the peephole.
"Leonardo and Summer are here." Carl turned around and said to Jessica.
Jessica got up from the sofa and said, "Do not dawdle about like that. Open the door!"
Carl looked at her and said, "You go back to your room."
Jessica frowned and said, "Alright."
Seeing Jessica return to her room, Carl opened the door.
"Why are you here so early?" Carl opened the door and looked at Leonardo and Summer with a smile.
Summer was slightly stunned. She picked up her phone and looked at the time before saying, "It's
already ten o'clock."
Carl was slightly embarrassed and scratched his head, saying, "It's indeed getting late."
Leonardo did not say anything. He handed the things to Carl and said, "Take it."
Then, he took Summer's hand and walked inside.
