She saw her mother turn away and wipe away tears, and she felt the overwhelming sorrow emanating from her aunt. Angel's ears rang, her vision blurred, and she could no longer hear the sounds around her... nor did she know what the doctor had told her. A wave of despair enveloped her.
The doctor conducted a brief examination, found nothing abnormal, and then left. Tears welled up in Angel's eyes, rolling down onto the pillow. Her heart trembled, and she felt utterly broken... It was a feeling worse than death. She would never be able to be a mother... she was no longer a complete woman.
In the apartment.
The worried Spencer was pulled back to reality by the ringing of his phone. Leaning forward on the sofa, he picked up the phone from the coffee table and tensed up when he saw the caller ID. He focused and quickly answered.
"Dr. Watson, how is Summer?"
Even through the distance, his concern was evident. Rowan's tone was calm as he quickly replied, "She has been discharged and just took a cab home. She should be arriving soon."
Spencer let out a breath of relief. "Alright, thank you."
After ending the call, he thought that if Dr. Watson had called earlier, he could have driven to pick up Summer himself. But since Summer was coming back, as a friend and neighbor, he could take care of her by making soup and cooking meals for her. That would be good too.
So, Spencer took out his phone, opened a video app, and started searching for nutritious soup recipes and the ingredients needed. He temporarily set aside thoughts about Rupert Brightwood and saw this as an opportunity to impress Summer and get closer to her.
Downstairs at the entrance of the building, Ansel walked in carrying a large bag of groceries. As he entered the elevator, he dialed Agnes's number. "Miss Bubu, are you coming home for dinner?"
"Yes, where are you now?"
"In the elevator. I bought pork ribs, corn, carrots, mushrooms, and goji berries to make soup. What's your house password?"
Agnes recited a string of numbers over the phone.
"Got it. I'm getting off the elevator now; we'll eat together when you get back."
"Use less ginger; my sister just had her stomach pumped."
