Summer buttoned her clothes as she asked, "Ms. Violet, are you busy with work?"
Violet lowered her head and packed her medical kit, "Yes, but I would still ask for leave if some personal things come up. Doctors are no different from others."
Summer paused.
'If some personal things come up...' Did she mean that a visit to Summer was one of her personal things?
They were neither relative nor friend. Who would entrust her with it?
Violet packed up her medical kit and put on a warm smile, "Ms. Summer, take care."
But Summer could hardly forge a smile, "Thank you."
When Violet left, Summer stayed in the bedroom for a while before going out.
Leonardo was talking with Tim and Violet in the living room.
Hearing the door of the bedroom open, Leonardo turned to her with his face void of emotion, "I'm leaving."
"Alright." Summer headed for the door, "I'll see you out."
Leonardo took a glance at Violet.
Violet, however, was straightening her clothes with her head lowered, pretending to be unaware of Leonardo's gaze.
After seeing the three of them out, Summer stood at the door for a moment before turning around and returning to the room.
Downstairs, Tim took the medical kit and carried it for Violet.
Leonardo suddenly asked, "Violet, what did you say to Summer?"
Violet could ignore his gaze but had no way to ignore his words. Since he had took the initiative to ask, Violet could only reply.
"Just a small talk." She noticed that Leonardo's face darkened as he heard what she said.
Tim could also feel a trace of anger from Leonardo.
