Chapter 1111

Elated, Summer clapped her hands and snuggled up in Emery’s arms. ”Thank you, Aunt Emery! I lovelollipops!”

Emery’s smile deepened when she saw Summer so happy. Seeing that, I asked her sarcastically, “Idon’t see you being that patient with Xavier. Is Summer your child instead?”

“How is that the same?” Emery walked over with Summer in her arms. “Summer is a girl, and girls aremeant to be pampered. Since Xavier is a boy, he needs to toughen up. Otherwise, he will grow up to bea Mommy’s boy. If that’s the case, I’ll disown him.”

I shook my head and sighed. There was no way to win a verbal argument with Emery.

Emery then continued playing with Summer, and when she saw that I was ready, she prepared to bringSummer out with her. “Alright, let’s get going. We can’t afford to be late again. Lots of doctors thesedays are really arrogant, and it doesn’t matter who our families are.”

I thought of Professor Zidd’s good temperament and could not help but retort, “Not every doctor is likethat. For example, Professor Zidd is a great man.”

Then, I took Summer from her arms and called out to the kitchen, “Mrs. Eriksen, please come out herefor a while.”

In no time, she came out.

“Mrs. Eriksen, we will follow the usual schedule this morning. You will watch Summer and let the otherservants handle your chores.”

“Yes, Mrs. Fuller.”

Emery was confused, “Why aren’t you bringing Summer? I can watch her.”

Summer stood between us as she spoke, looking up at us quietly with her large, bright eyes.

Sometimes, she was very much like me. The moment she understood what was going on, she wouldacquiesce to the circumstances.

Last night as I tucked her into bed, I told her that Mommy would be busy in the following mornings, soshe would have to stay at home with Mrs. Eriksen in the meantime.

She did not understand why I had to leave her behind again, thinking that I was going to abandon herlike the time I left her with Cameron and Zachary. After a crying fit, she calmed down when I read her afew fairytales. Finally, she agreed as I patiently explained everything again.

Sighing, I asked Mrs. Eriksen to bring Summer to the backyard. After they left the room, I finally repliedto Emery’s question, “Summer had just completed the bone marrow operation last year, and she had akidney transplant too. She is recovering well, so I don’t want her to go to the hospital yet. I don’t wantanything bad to happen to her again.”

Emery nodded in understanding and did not say anything else.

We walked out of the house after picking up our bags. At this moment, Ashton walked in through theentrance. Looking worn out with visible stubble on his chin, he seemed as though he had just rushedhere from the office.

Emery teased him, “Hey, isn’t this Mr. Fu? Did you just come back from a mining trip or something?”

I patted her shoulder to stop her from talking before telling Ashton, “You’ve worked for a whole night.Emery can go with me today. Just go upstairs and take a nap.”

Ashton looked at me before turning his gaze to Emery, saying adamantly, “Wait for me in the car for fiveminutes. I’ll just do a quick shave.”

Having said that, he headed to the bathroom immediately. I could faintly hear him telling the maid to gethis electric shaver for him.

He still preferred to use the shaver I chose for him.

We waited around for a while before Emery dragged me into Ashton’s car.

After five minutes, Ashton sat in the driver’s seat punctually and drove toward the hospital.
