When Summer woke up, it was already the next afternoon. Her legs and arms were bandaged with thick linen gauze.
She pulled aside her blanket, and when she was about to get out of bed, she was stopped by the approaching nurse. "Where are you going?”
"To see someone." She had not forgotten about how severe and life-threatening his injuries were when he protected her.
The nurse tried to stop her but failed. As she feared that Summer might dismantle her IV, she brought her over instead.
Mark was still in the ICU. The chandelier that struck him directly on his head was huge and heavy. There was bleeding, and the blood clot pressed on his nerve. Therefore, it was hard to predict when he would wake up.
Dressed in sanitized attire, Summer sat beside him in the ICU. She placed his hands on her cheek, and tears welled up in her eyes.
'You got to be alright. Please be alright. Nothing should happen to you!'
Mark's head was bandaged in white linen gauze, and
his cyan stubble had vividly surfaced. His face was very skinny, and she was deeply hurt.
Yvette was at home. She had ordered the maid to prepare mushroom soup to bring to the hospital.
Charlotte sat meekly on the sofa. She was not attached to Yvette, and she knew that Yvette disliked her and mommy.
She longed for mommy and daddy, but they had not returned for the entire night.
Standing up, Charlotte went up to Yvette while she was speaking to the maid. She tugged her tiny and tender hand at Yvette's and shook it gently.
It was a light and gentle touch. Yvette's fingers twitched, and she turned around. Looking at her were the little girl's glittering eyes. "When is daddy and mommy coming home?”
