Chapter 396


    His lips, however, curled up as he leaned his tall and proud body against the counter ever sozily. He


    watched her every move without saying anything, but he did not loosen his grip. Instead, he held her


    more tightly.


    They were not alone in the store. At that moment, the people around them were all shifting their gazes


    toward their direction.


    It was really inappropriate for them to act like that in public. Summer clenched her jaw as she stopped


    moving and reluctantly stood still.


    After half an hour, the staff finally brought their kite over to them. Compared with the blue kite, it was


    evident that the orange one was more appealing.


    After paying for the kites, they walked out of the shop and returned to the hospital.


    Charlotte had already woken up. She was sitting on her sickbed as she yed with her building blocks


    uninterestedly. Her round eyes lit up as soon as sheid eyes on the kites.


    "Which one do you like?" Mark asked her while he stood in front of her bed, holding up a kite in each


    hand.


    Charlotte looked at the colorful butterfly kite before she switched her attention to the orange star-


    shaped kite. She flicked her pinkish tongue on her lips and said, "The star one."


    Mark raised his brows following her response as his expression turned exceptionally bright. He


    purposely shot Summer a look before he said, "Say that one more time but louder."


    "I like the star kite. It’s the same color as orange peel. Look, the star is angry too!" Charlotte pointed at


    the wide set of eyes on the star. She was obsessed.


    Summer furrowed her eyebrows when she met his teasing gaze by ident. ''What is he so happy


    about?’ She really could not wrap her mind around it.


    Charlotte fell asleep after she finished her lunch. Subsequently, Mark also left after he picked up a call.


    Dean''s operation was scheduled around the afternoon. During his surgery, Summer never left her spot.


    She constantly guarded the operating theater''s door. 1


    The operation was over after an hour and a half or so. The doctor told her that it was a sess, and


    everything had gone smoothly.


    However, there was no guarantee regarding the mobility of his legs. Just as what was said before, it all


    depended on how well he recovered.


    Summer had been staying in the hospital for the past few days, but she had never changed into a fresh


    set o f clothes. So, she decided to head back home and bring a few sets of clean clothes over while


    Charlotte and Dean were both still asleep.


    Daisy and Soloman were at home when she went back. They were shocked to see her return without


    Charlotte by her side, and they proceeded to question her.

    Summer never wanted to keep the ident a secret from them, so she just told them everything.


    Daisy’s heart raced when she heard about what had happened, and her palms started to sweat. "Then


    how i s Charlotte now?"


    “She''s fine now. She can even be discharged."


    Daisy shot her another question right after. "What about Dean?"


    "He can''t move his legs at the moment, and there is a 5 0/50 chance that he''ll be paralyzed.” Summer


    did not hide anything from them and told them everything truthfully.


    "Paralyzed?" Soloman''s expression changed into a serious


    one.


    Daisy also had a stern look on her face as she said to Summer, "Saving Charlotte is the only reason


    he''s met with this fate now. He is a righteous man, and we should only repay him with righteousness!"


    Summer nodded. "I know, Mom."


    "Both your father and I are very clear about how he’s treated you and Charlotte throughout these few


    years. He treats your problems just like his own-he even puts in more effort than us. He doesn''t mind


    that you are a divorcee, and he certainly doesn’t mind that you already have a daughter with another


    man. He just treats you and Charlotte well with his whole heart. Before this even happened, your father


    and I already had no doubts that we wanted you and him to..."


    Daisy paused for a moment before she continued," Your father and I could see his character with our


    eyes. He treats Charlotte just like his own, and you definitely won''t stay a single mother for the rest of


    your life. But are you 100% sure that your future husband will treat Charlotte as well as Dean does?"
