Summer continued, "How could it be him?
Isn't he having some trouble with walking? How could he run out and take Violet away to threaten Douglas?"
Leonardo looked down at her and asked calmly, "What if someone had helped him?"
Summer froze, "Then who?"
"And what is his purpose? Is it to..." Summer noticed Leonardo's expression and said the next few words with great care, "get back at you?"
Leonardo reached out and touched her head, "It's getting late. Just have a rest. I'll take care of the rest."
"I'll stay with you." Summer took hold of his hand.
Leonardo said in soft voice, "Be good."
Hearing this, Summer turned around and headed back to her bedroom.
She reached the bedroom door and turned to see Leonardo sitting opposite Violet. They sat facing each other in silence, with Tim standing beside them.
Summer hesitated at the door for a moment, then pushed it open and went into the bedroom.
After washing and lying on the bed, Summer was still a little uneasy, so she opened the door and looked out, only to find that the hall was empty.
In the study.
Violet sat in the chair, with her neck curled and her head bowed, as if she were very afraid of Leonardo.
Leonardo sat opposite her, tapping the handrail with his long, thin fingers.
Suddenly, the movement of his hands stopped. Then he slowly opened his mouth,
"Douglas is not his son. Are you helping him in this way because you think he'll be good to your son?"
