"Leonardo..." Summer was thinking about what to say but was interrupted by Douglas.
"Summer, you don't have to comfort me. I deserve it." Douglas sighed, and he was not as cheery as before.
Summer took a deep breath and changed the topic, "How do you feel? Do you want to eat anything? I'll go home and make it for you."
Douglas shook his head, "Thank you. I don't have any appetite, and I don't want to eat anything."
Seeing him like this, Summer felt sad.
"Everything will be fine."
In such a difficult time, she could do nothing but to comfort him.
"I know." Douglas said in a choked tone.
"When I was young, I always felt Leonardo was an odd man with bad temper. After I grew older, I learned that he was kidnapped with his mother when he was a child, I gradually understood it. But..."
Douglas pursed the corners of his lips and added, "I didn't know there were so many dirty things behind the kidnap. I'm sorry for Leonardo. He lived a tougher life than anyone else. If I had a second chance, I would definitely trust him."
"You're too young to take the blame." Summer knew Douglas was just too young and was forced to follow Lester's order.
"No, it's my fault. Leonardo treated me so well. Even if I had some doubts, I should ask him first. And even if I quarreled with him face to face, he would forgive me. At least I should trust him, rather than Lester."
"Douglas."
