In short, under the dual pressure from Andrew and Agnes, Harlan had no reason to stay. He could only make an excuse that he had something to do, bid farewell to Summer, and left.
"I want to sleep for a while," Summer said to the two standing by her bed. "You should go back to the company and do what you need to do. Don't stay here with me. I'm fine, not a patient."
To be honest, her mind was a bit chaotic because of what happened to Angel and because she herself felt a bit strange. Some things kept flashing in her mind intermittently but weren't very clear... She needed some quiet time.
"Okay," Agnes said to her sister. "We'll go out now. You have a good rest."
With that, she and Andrew went out into the hallway.
"You should go back too. I'll stay with my sister," Agnes said as they walked. "She might be able to leave the hospital soon."
Andrew turned his head with a smile. "You're quick-witted, using 'brother-in-law' to fend off Harlan. That man has always had his eyes on your sister in the crew."
"Does Spencer also like my sister?" Agnes asked directly. "Does he see her as just another fish?"
Andrew met her gaze and quickly explained, "He's not a playboy; he doesn't keep women around."
He didn't know how else to answer. Some things were secrets, and now didn't seem like the right time to reveal them. Andrew couldn't mess up everyone's plans.
"I really have a brother-in-law; I'm not just quick-witted," Agnes said seriously. "My brother-in-law is a top student studying in Canada, but he'll be back soon. They will hold their wedding in the second half of the year, and both families are very satisfied with each other."
Agnes didn't seem like she was joking at all. Meeting her gaze, Andrew was shocked and deeply shaken inside! Did Spencer know about this? Did Summer have a fiancé? Was this an unexpected twist?
"What's wrong?" Agnes noticed his unusual expression. "You don't need to doubt me; everything I said is true. So Spencer better not like my sister."
Andrew quickly regained his composure. "It's not my business; I'm just a bit surprised." He chatted with her warmly, "Do you have a boyfriend?" He changed the topic.
The girl shook her head. "Not at the moment."
