Summer helped him, but he did not refuse.
They chatted on and off, and suddenly, Douglas said in a very solemn voice, "Summer."
Summer looked up at him in surprise.
"You must receive proper treatment.
Leonardo, he ... can't do without you." Douglas could more or less feel Summer's pessimism.
Moreover, Leonardo had vaguely asked him to talk to Summer when he was free.
However, Douglas knew Summer understood everything, so he did not know what else to say.
Summer was surprised. She sighed and said, "Douglas, one must live his own life. With or without anyone, he must live on. See? When I was young, my father was biased and my mother didn't love me, but here I am."
"That's different." Douglas said, "It is different for Leonardo. Leonardo had a hard time before meeting you. When I was still young, I didn't understand many things. But thinking about it now, Leonardo did have a hard time. Only with you, he would he be happy."
Summer shook her head, "It's not true, Douglas."
Hearing this, Douglas became anxious. He held Summer's hand and said, "I don't care. Summer, you must listen to the doctors. Promise me. I won't leave unless you promise me!"
"I'm not going to school anymore," he said cheekily. "HI stay at home and become a useless man without a degree or a decent job."
Hearing this, Summer said with a wry face, "No, you won't."
"Yes, I will!" Douglas was playing dumb to her.
Summer shook her head, "I will listen to the doctors and receive proper treatment, but what if I can't be cured? Do I have the right to give up the treatment?¹'
