Hearing this, Leonardo raised his eyebrows slightly and remained silent. Summer didn't intend to change the topic. She put on a long face and said, "Answer me."
Then Leonardo said, "She is not a little baby, and can walk well on her own."
"She is only four years old!" Summer was annoyed, "Can you behave like a father? What if I'm not with you ..."
"Summer!" Leonardo interrupted Summer in a low tone. He hated to hear these words from Summer.
"I know you don't like to hear this, but it's the truth. If I'm not with you, you have to take good care of Rosie by yourself." Summer said calmly.
By contrast, Leonardo seemed to be unreasonable. Hearing that, Leonardo became serious, "You will be cured."
Summer asked him, "What if I can't?"
Leonardo said immediately, "It's out of the question."
"Do you really think that everything will work out just the way you want?" Summer's voice was flat, "It's impossible."
Leonardo was a stubborn and confident man. In the past, Summer would have believed him. But now, she thought everything could get wrong.
As her health was getting worse day by day, she could not be as confident as Leonardo. She was unable to stay confident and calm thinking of her illness.
Leonardo pursed his lips as he stepped forward and took Summer in his arms. He didn't say a word. Summer felt that he was controlling his emotions, and stayed in his arms.
After a long time, Leonardo let go of her and whispered, "I have to handle something. Can you come with me?" His voice was gentle, as if they hadn't quarreled just now.
