Predestined Marriage -
Chapter 408 A Terrible Reason
"Mr. Carl's greeting gift for Rosie." As Summer spoke, she turned around and smiled at Carl.
Carl smiled complacently.
Leonardo weighed the safe in his hand and turned to look at Carl. He said indifferently, "Rosie has no concept of money right now."
Carl was shocked, "You didn't even look inside. How did you know that it was filled with money?"
"What else can you put in here?" Leonardo said indifferently, slightly showing his disgust.
But anyone who knew him could tell.
Carl had a serious expression, "You..."
Clearly, Leonardo didn't want to waste time on Carl anymore. He turned around to look at Summer, "Come with me."
"Where?"
Before she could figure out why Leonardo was suddenly here, she was asked to go somewhere with him...
Leonardo handed the safe to Tim and instructed, "Take Rosie home."
"Yes," Tim replied respectfully.
Then, Leonardo turned around and said to Rosie, "Follow Uncle Tim back. We'll go back later. Wait for us at home."
Rosie nodded uncomprehendingly.
Leonardo was six feet tall, yet Rosie was only three years old. Standing in front of him, she looked like a small ball. Leonardo was at least a meter taller than her.
Although it wasn't a tender scene, the little daughter nodding at her father in confusion was especially adorable to others.
However, Leonardo was clearly not interested in continuing to play his part in this loving scene. After he finished speaking, he directly took Summer's hand and went out. Summer wanted to say something to Rosie, but now, she didn't have time to say it anymore.
She could only turn around and say to Rosie, "Be good and follow Uncle Tim home. Daddy and I will be back soon. Bye!"
Her last word carried with it an accent of coaxing.
Rosie looked confused, but she still obediently waved her hand at Summer.
Summer followed Leonardo out of the Golden Cauldron Club.
As soon as they were out of the door, Summer immediately shook off Leonardo's hand and said, "I can walk. Stay away from me."
Leonardo came and asked her to go somewhere with him all of a sudden. He hadn't seen Rosie for a day, yet when he saw her, he didn't even give his daughter a hug.
Leonardo lowered his head and looked at his hand. Without saying a word, he opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.
Summer pulled open the passenger door with an ugly face.
"Where exactly are we going?" she asked him as she fastened her seat belt.
This time, Leonardo answered her question directly, "Hospital."
"Why are you going to the hospital? You're not feeling well?" After she said this, she felt that she had asked a wrong question. Even if Leonardo was not feeling well, he wouldn't ask her to go to the hospital with him, right?
In any case, she couldn't understand, so she didn't ask anymore.
The two of them went all the way to the hospital in silence.
When they got out of the car, Summer put her hands into her pockets and walked behind Leonardo, keeping one step away from him.
Before entering the hospital, Leonardo turned around and looked at Summer expressionlessly, saying, "Summer, are your feet stick to the ground?"
Summer said angrily, "Leave me alone. Why can't you just walk on your own? I'm an adult, and it's not like I'm going to get lost."
Summer really couldn't figure out why Leonardo suddenly cared about her so much today. He even complained about her walking. Leonardo fixed his eyes on Summer and stood still.
Summer took a deep breath and strode forward.
She deliberately walked very fast, and Leonardo, who was now behind her, also went faster.
When she slowed down, Leonardo also slowed down.
In short, Leonardo was following behind her with her pace.
She could feel that not only was Leonardo maintaining the same speed as her, he was also staring at her.
His gaze was too deep and made her in discomfort.
In the end, Summer simply took a step back and walked beside him.
Leonardo turned up the corners of his lips, showing a faint smile. If one didn't look carefully, this smile could hardly be noticed.
The two of them entered the elevator together.
Leonardo reached out and pressed a button. When he withdrew his hand, it just happened to pass Summer's ear. She could feel the cold air on him.
The elevator did not stop on any of the floors in the middle. Finally, it stopped on the floor which Leonardo had pressed.
Summer got out of the elevator and realized that there was basically no one in the hospital.
As if guessing what she was thinking, Leonardo said, "It is more convenient with fewer people."
"Does it mean that he did go through an under table dealing and hire the whole hospital?" Summer said to herself.
Mr. Emerson really knew how to burn money.
Not long after they left the elevator, a subordinate came over and said, "Mr. Emerson."
Leonardo asked in a calm voice, "Everything set?"
The subordinate respectfully said, "Everything is ready."
Summer looked at Leonardo in doubt.
But soon, doubt left her eyes.
She remembered Leonardo's painful appearance in the study that day. Was Leonardo here for an examination today?
Just as this thought popped up in her head, Leonardo, who was standing beside her, said, "You can now take her to do the examination."
Her?
Summer raised her head and saw a group of doctors and nurses in white standing opposite her. Half of them were female.
As soon as Leonardo spoke, a female doctor walked towards her.
"Ms. Summer, please follow us."
Shouldn't Leonardo be the one who got examined?
Doubts were already written on Summer's face. Seeing this, Leonardo said, "It's just a general examination."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and signaled the doctor to take Summer for examination.
When the doctor got Leonardo's order, regardless of whether Summer was willing or not, she directly took her away.
"I'm in excellent health. I don't need an examination!" Summer felt that Leonardo was too baffled.
Even if he really had good intentions, why couldn't he tell her in advance?
Why couldn't he?
However, at this point, Summer could only follow the female doctors and have her general examination.
By the time she finished, it was already dark.
When she came out, she saw Leonardo quietly sitting on the sofa, flipping through a pile of paper in his hand. She got closer to him and discovered that what was in Leonardo's hand was the result of her examinations. Summer walked to his side and sat down. She tilted her head and asked, "Why do I need an examination suddenly?"
"In case you have any infectious diseases and spread them to Rosie." Leonardo did not raise his head, and his voice was deep yet cold, almost emotionless. Summer turned up the corners of her lips and said with a faked smile, "Mr. Emerson, you are really different. You can tell such a terrible reason so seriously." Leonardo had just finished reading the last result.
He looked up at Summer with a serious expression, "Ms. Summer, you are also very different. You are obviously so angry, yet you can still laugh." Summer was speechless.
