Leonardo turned around to look at Summer, who glared at him.
"Why are you so fierce all of a sudden?"
Leonardo stretched out and pressed around her eyes with his thumb. Her tears were squeezed out and he wiped them off.
"I'll take Rosie to wash her face. I'll leave you guys alone." Leonardo turned to look at Jessica and Carl and left with Rosie in his arms.
Summer pursed her lips and was about to call Leonardo. However, Leonardo walked so fast. When she looked over, he had carried Rosie out.
Jessica sat down beside the bed and said, "Summer, you're finally awake."
Carl stood with arms akimbo and shook his head, "Fortunately, you're awake; if you don't, Leonardo will kill himself for you!"
Jessica turned to stare at Carl. Carl paused for a moment and then scratched his head and changed the topic, "Do you want some fruit? Let me peel it for you."
When Jessica turned around to look at Summer, she changed her expression. "Summer, don't listen to Carl's bullshit."
Summer's eyes were still a little red as she shook her head with a smile.
In the bathroom.
Leonardo placed Rosie on the washstand and sat down. He reached out and turned on the tap. He felt the water temperature and when he found that it was right, he took the towel and put it in the water. He soaked it and then wrung it.
While he was doing this, Rosie was quietly watching him. Rosie felt that Leonardo had been wringing the towel for too long, so she tilted her head and bent down to look at his face. However, Leonardo looked away at the cabinet beside him.
Rosie tentatively called out, "Daddy?"
"Yeah?" Leonardo replied and wrung the towel again. He picked it up and covered Rosie's face.
Rosie didn't even have time to see Leonardo's face.
