Leonardo ignored her words and kept holding her in his arms. Tim walked over and greeted, "Mr. and Mrs. Emerson."
Summer hurriedly patted Leonardo, signaling to him to release her. Leonardo set her free, but then he grabbed her hand tightly and studied her.
His stomach was in knots when he walked in and saw Summer leaning against the chair and sitting on the ground.
He knew how much Vicky hated Summer, so his heart sank when he knew it was Vicky who took Summer away.
The moment he saw Summer, he felt both happy and flustered. He was worried that Vicky had done something unforgivable to Summer. Fortunately, Summer was able to stand up.
Leonardo stretched out his hand and gently touched Summer's wound covered with congealed blood, his forehead knotting into a frown.
Summer also reached out to touch the wound on her forehead and explained, "It doesn't hurt. It's just a flesh wound."
Hearing this, Leonardo didn't stop frowning. Summer patted his hand and said, "Let's go."
Leonardo looked around and said, "You go with Tim and wait for me in the car."
"What...?" Summer wanted to ask him what he was going to do, but she paused when she realized that he was probably going to deal with Vicky. Then she stopped asking and just followed Tim out of the villa.
She saw several cars parked outside, which belonged to Leonardo and his subordinates.
As soon as they got in the car, Tim got the medical kit and said to Summer, "Mrs. Emerson, let me treat your wound."
Although it was a superficial injury, it would heal more quickly after treatment. She closed her eyes and allowed Tim to treat her wound, "Did you prepare the medical kit?"
"No. Mr. Emerson asked me to buy it on the way here," Tim couldn't help but smile as he said.
He had worked for Leonardo for many years. Most of the time, Leonardo looked cold and distant, but he was really considerate for Summer. He would get everything set up for her.
However, Tim's smile faded when he thought of what Leonardo had said to him before they set off to save Summer. Summer felt Tim was very skilled in treating wounds. She could tell he had helped others treat their wounds frequently in the past.
Suddenly, she remembered she had seen Leonardo near the house in the slums she rented after marriage. At that time, he got a gunshot wound. He threatened her to take out the bullet for him. Though he wasn't given the anesthesia, he still made it through.
It had been a long time since it took place, so Summer had a feeling that it seemed like forever ago. However, it had indeed happened.
She asked, "Did Leonardo often get hurt before?"
She had seen Leonardo's body, but she didn't look at it carefully. She only knew there were a few scars on his body.
"Not often. Sometimes he would have accidents," Tim answered briefly. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about that.
As he finished speaking, he also was done treating and bandaging Summer's wound.
Summer opened her eyes and said, "After I married Leonardo, I rented a house in the slums.
And I've seen him with a gunshot wound there.
You should know about that."
"I know." Tim nodded slightly and stopped putting things back to the medical kit.
"What happened that time?" Summer didn't know why Leonardo got injured, and she never asked him about it.
