Summer and Leonardo suffered a lot as well, and Summer's health got worse. Things went wrong, and it was not the end yet.
Carl sighed and changed the subject, "Aren't we going out to buy fruit? Let's go."
In the end, Summer lost all the money she got from Leonardo. Interestingly, Jessica won the money.
At first, she was jittery and didn't want to do so. However, as time went by, all of them were absorbed in the game and didn't care who won or lost at all.
They didn't go home until midnight. On the way back, Rosie fell asleep. Leonardo wanted to put Rosie in his arms. But Summer frowned and said, "I can hold her."
Leonardo was afraid she would be tired. So, he ignored her words and reached out to hold Rosie. Summer leant back and said coldly, "I can't move my legs, but I don't hurt my hands. I can do it."
Summer also realized that she was getting odd because of the disease. She could hardly control herself. She didn't want to do so either. She became more pessimistic.
She believed that Leonardo would spare no efforts in curing her. However, Summer knew that he was doomed to fail. She had been thinking about how to face the death recently.
In the passenger seat, Douglas listened carefully to Summer and Leonardo, who sat in the back of the car.
Hearing Summer's words, he turned around to look at her and did not dare to make a sound. Douglas discovered that when a good-tempered person became willful, he would be extremely hard to deal with. For example, Summer looked scarier than Leonardo when being obstinate.
It was deadly silent in the car. Douglas hesitated for a while and dreaded to speak. He had been paying attention to Summer and Leonardo. However, both of them remained silent after Summer finished speaking.
The car at last stopped in front of Leonardo's villa. Then, neither of Summer and Leonardo tried to get out of the car.
