Jessica had some important work to do, so she asked Carl to come over.
Carl took them to Jessica's house.
"There's fruit, yogurt, vegetables, and meat in the fridge, and here are the snacks."
Carl took Summer to see the refrigerator and locker as if it was his home. He even told her where the bathroom was and which bedroom they could stay in.
"Call me if something happens. Jessica will be back late tonight."
After he finished speaking, Carl turned around and saw Summer smiling.
Carl scratched his head embarrassedly. "Anyway, if you need anything, just tell me."
Summer calmed down and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. You're Jessica's friend and
Leonardo's wife. That's what I should do."
Summer had once heard that Carl's father was a gang leader. When Carl grew older, his father changed his path and started to do business.
Perhaps being affected by his family, Carl would never turn his back on his friends.
Summer stopped being too polite and replied, "OK."
"Don't be too worried about Leonardo. There will be a way." Although he was trying to comfort her, Carl frowned a little. Obviously, he was also a little worried.
After Carl left, Summer took some vegetables and meat from the refrigerator and cooked some noodles.
Rosie was already hungry and ate a little fast.
Summer was looking at Rosie in case she might choke on her food, and thinking about
Leonardo.
Tim told her that Leonardo had been hypnotized and his memories were blocked, which was why he seemed to lose his memories.
Even though she had heard of hypnosis, noticing Leonardo's symptoms, Summer realized that it was beyond her knowledge.
Summer looked on the Internet for the definition of hypnosis.
If Leonardo was actually giving himself the message, wasn't it similar to psychology?
Stanley had a Ph. D. in psychology.
He must know what hypnosis was.
Thinking of this, Summer took out her phone and called Stanley.
When the phone was connected, she first heard Stanley whisper, "Sorry, I have to take this.
He probably said it with his hand covering the microphone because his voice was very low.
Another person said, "It's okay."
Then Summer heard the chair moving. The next moment, Stanley said, "Summer."
"Were you seeing a patient just now? I'm sorry to disturb you," Summer said apologetically.
Stanley smiled, "It's fine. The patient doesn't mind I take an important call first."
He sounded very close to her, but it was neither flirty nor ambiguous.
Summer asked, "Do you know hypnosis?"
"Hypnosis? I know a little about it. What's wrong?" Stanley was very sensitive. He knew Summer wouldn't ask this for no reason, so he was concerned.
"I just want to ask you if hypnosis can..."
"Mom, I'm full."
Summer raised her head and saw Rosie holding her empty bowl and showing it to her.
Stanley heard Rosie's voice and said sweetly, "I'm free later. You can come."
