Summer hesitated for a moment before replying, "I did."
Carl touched his forehead, saying in a serious tone, "Why are you so calm at this point. Do you think Leonardo will let you go? Do you?"
Summer replied with certainty, "No."
"Then you..." Looking at Summer's calm face, Carl felt anxious, "Aren't you afraid of him?"
Summer remained calm, "There's nothing to be afraid of."
Just as Carl was about to continue, Jessica interrupted him, "Wait, what happened? What did you do to Leonardo? I can't understand you?"
"Nothing. It's just a small conflict between Leonardo and me." Summer quietly gave Carl a look, signaling him not to tell Jessica.
Summer didn't expect that Carl would come to her once he knew it. And it was the same day as Jessica was discharged from the hospital.
Summer had made up her mind not to tell Jessica anything about it. She didn't want Jessica to be worried.
"Don't fool me!" Jessica knew it was not that simple after listening to the conversation.
Jessica glanced at Summer and then turned her eyes upon Carl, "Summer doesn't want to tell me. You tell me!"
It was impossible for Carl to hide anything from Jessica. Giving Summer a reluctant look, he told Jessica everything.
Hearing what Carl had said, Jessica felt shocked and murmured, "Summer, you drugged Leonardo? Awesome!"
Tugging the corners of her mouth, Summer didn't say anything.
In the next second, Jessica exploded and said, "Do you think it's a compliment? You're so stupid. Even if you don't want the man anymore, you shouldn't push him to the bed of that bitch Amber." Carl said, "Leonardo and Summer are divorced..."
"Shut up!" Jessica snorted. Carl stopped speaking, looking out of the window.
"Beside, Leonardo is not a simple person. He can destroy you with just a finger..." Jessica was angry at first, and then she was worried, "How about hiding abroad for some time?"
"I know you are worried about me, but it is not as serious as you think. I can deal with it." Summer knew that they cared about her.
It was between her and Leonardo. She didn't want too many people to get involved.
Carl and Jessica looked at each other and fell silent.
After a while, Carl said, "But what you did is
incredible!"
Carl and Leonardo had known each other for many years. Although Leonardo's covering Amber didn't turn them into enemies, Carl felt angry.
And Amber getting hospitalized for her broken legs eased Carl's anger.
Hearing that Leonardo had been drugged by Summer, he felt his anger was released again, but then he was a little worried about Summer.
He thought Leonardo and Summer would get back together someday. However, when seeing Leonardo covering for Amber regardless of whether it was right or wrong, he believed that Leonardo cared about Amber.
Leonardo was a cold and unpredictable person, but he could do everything for those whom he cared about.
Therefore, Carl was more worried about
Summer.
Summer and Jessica were good friends, and he also treated Summer as his good friend. That was why he came to Summer after he knew what happened.
Jessica glared at Carl, "It's anything but incredible!"
