His lips, however, curled up as he leaned his tall and proud body against the counter ever so lazily. He watched her every move without saying anything, but he did not loosen his grip. Instead, he held her more tightly.
They were not alone in the store. At that moment, the people around them were all shifting their gazes toward their direction.

After half an hour, the staff finally brought their kite over to them. Compared with the blue kite, it was evident that the orange one was more appealing.
After paying for the kites, they walked out of the shop and returned to the hospital.
Charlotte had already woken up. She was sitting on her sickbed as she played with her building blocks uninterestedly. Her round eyes lit up as soon as she laid eyes on the kites.
"Which one do you like?" Mark asked her while he stood in front of her bed, holding up a kite in each hand.
Charlotte looked at the colorful butterfly kite before she switched her attention to the orange star-shaped kite. She flicked her pinkish tongue on her lips and said, "The star one."
Mark raised his brows following her response as his expression turned exceptionally bright. He purposely shot Summer a look before he said, "Say that one more time but louder."
"I like the star kite. It’s the same color as orange peel. Look, the star is angry too!" Charlotte pointed at the wide set of eyes on the star. She was obsessed.
Summer furrowed her eyebrows when she met his teasing gaze by accident. 'What is he so happy about?’ She really could not wrap her mind around it.
Charlotte fell asleep after she finished her lunch. Subsequently, Mark also left after he picked up a call.
Dean's operation was scheduled around the afternoon. During his surgery, Summer never left her spot. She constantly guarded the operating theater's door. 1
The operation was over after an hour and a half or so. The doctor told her that it was a success, and everything had gone smoothly.
