Leonardo looked down at Rosie. Rosie was wearing a white skirt with light green flower pattern on it today. Her skin was fair, and she looked healthy and full of vitality.
Leonardo reached out and stroked her head, saying, "Don't worry about Mom. I'm with her."
Rosie lowered her head and said, "OK..."
Summer settled in Leonardo's villa just like that. Leonardo stayed with her every day. He would wake up at a fixed time in the morning and push her wheelchair out to take her for a walk after dinner.
Sometimes, Rosie was with them. However, as Rosie had problem getting up, they would take a walk alone.
Summer became quieter and quieter, and she did not speak much, mainly because she had nothing to say. Leonardo wasn't a talkative
person, so when she didn't want to speak, Leonardo naturally wouldn't say anything. Most of the time, they stayed together in silence.
After lunch, Leonardo would take Summer back to her room to take a nap. When Summer fell asleep, Leonardo would go to the study to work. Then, Tim would come over to deliver some documents to Leonardo.
This routine didn't change for three days.
At noon on the fourth day, Leonardo took Summer back to her room to take a nap as usual. Summer lay on the bed, opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling for a while before closing her eyes slowly.
She was thinking about something in her heart. Actually, she wasn't sleepy, so she didn't fall asleep. She just kept her eyes closed. When someone closed his eyes, his hearing would be much better.
Leonardo did not go out immediately. He sat by the bed and did not make a sound.
If it was not for the fact that she hadn't heard the sound of the door opening, Summer would have thought he had already left.
