Chapter 98


    "I have been to these two ces, too. Those sceneries are beautiful. Did you take any photos?"


    Summer fiddled with the ss in her hand and shook her head. "No."


    Rain let out a gentle smile. "Was it because of Mark? H e was camera-shy since he was a child and


    avoided it like a gue. You wouldn''t believe how long it took m e to persuade him to take a photo with


    me. I might be his aunt, but he just wouldn''t care."


    Raine said this for a purpose.


    She knew Summer had seen the photo. She did not want Summer to overthink. So she brought up the


    photo topic and exined it in a subtle way.


    "Why is he camera-shy?" Summer looked over with curiosity.


    "I have got no clue. He just doesn’t like it. It started since he was small. Except for family photos, he


    would not budge a bit. He is still the same today.”


    There was an I-can''t-even look on Raine''s face.


    "I guess something must be wrong with him." Summer shrugged and said jokingly.


    "Yeah, a camera-shypany president will make a


    funny news headline." Raine yed along with a thoughtful look.


    They exchanged a nce and burst intoughter.


    Just then, a nurse came into the ward with sks in her hands.


    "Miss Valentine, you look much better now. You might get out of bed in a few days," the nurse said.


    "Yeah, I have been lying in bed for many days. If this goes on like this, I might forget how to walk soon,"


    Raine joked.


    As the nurse was carrying two sks, Summer reached out a hand to offer her help.


    But before Summer had gotten hold of the sk, the nurse let go, thinking that she did.


    The next moment Summer knew it, there was a loud clunk, and the sk tipped over. Boiling water


    sshed onto one of her feet.


    An excruciating pain ripped through her. She gasped i n pain, her face pale. Her foot hurt so much that


    she had to hop away.


    The nurse was frozen on the spot in fright. Raine called out to the nurse anxiously, "Emily! Emily!


    Quick!


    Take a look at the burns on her foot!"


    The nurse named Emily Davis came to her senses. She quickly helped Summer sit down, then took off


    her shoe and sock.


    The boiling water had gotten to the skin of her instep. I t was red and swollen. Summer felt a burning


    sensation.


    Emily wasted no time in cleaning her wound, applying ointment, and put on a dressing. She did that all


    in one fell swoop.


    Summer’s face was still pale, her body shivering from the pain.


    The ointment was aggravating the pain. She felt as if a knife cut into her skin.


    Raine looked worried. She asked the nurse. "Is her condition serious?"


    "She might need to be confined to bed for a few days and wait for the wound to heal. It was my fault.


    Had I not let go the sk so quickly, the sk would not have fallen and shattered, and boiling water

    would not have sshed onto her foot." The young nurse was ming herself. She felt so guilty that


    her eyes welled up.


    Summer felt sorry for the nurse, too. She tried tofort the nurse. "It is okay. It doesn''t hurt that much


    anymore. It will heal in a few days. I am partially at fault, too."


    The young nurse felt even more guilty. She stayed beside Summer the entire afternoon to take care of


    her.


    Raine called Mark on the phone and briefly told him what had happened so that he woulde to pick


    up Summer.


    Half an hourter, Mark arrived. He looked at Summer''s bandaged foot and narrowed his eyes. "How


    did you hurt yourself?”
