Chapter 399


    He did not want her to feel guilty. Besides, he already took Charlotte as his own daughter. It was only


    justifiable for a father to save his daughter.


    "I understand, but if it wasn''t for Charlotte, I would still take care of you. You were already her daddy in


    her heart."


    Summer talked slowly as she wanted to utter every word clearly.


    Her words definitely moved him and made his heart flutter, but he still rejected her. "Summer, you


    should just bring Charlotte back. I will be fine in Santabaca; I''m working here too."


    "You''re not recovering anytime soon. What do you mean ''work?''" Summer furrowed her brows. ''Dean


    can really be kind of stubborn!''


    "I can''t do anything that requires me to use my legs, but I''ll still be able to work on the cases."


    Summer did not want to talk about this with him further as she changed the subject and said, "You


    really don''t understand me. The decisions I’ve made have no space for changes."


    This time, the clueless Charlotte also tilted her head upward. Her mouth was still filled with apples as


    she


    spoke blurrily, "Don''t you want to leave with me and mommy, Uncle Dean?"


    "That''s not it." Dean looked at her lovingly.


    "Then is it because I caused your legs to be like this? I s that why you don''t like me anymore?"


    Charlotte blinked her small eyes, and her face looked serious.


    "How could I dislike you? You think too much." Dean reached out and pinched her short nose.


    Charlotte''s eyes watered as she pouted, looking as if she was about to cry. "You''re lying. You definitely


    hate me already!"


    Both her eyes and nose were as red as beets from crying. Her little shoulders bobbed up and down as


    she sniffled. She looked like an abandoned bunny.


    Dean could never bear to watch her cry. He was trying his best tofort her while she was bawling.


    Charlotte did not care about him as she continued to wipe her tears with both of her little arms,


    sobbing." Uncle Dean hates me now! I don''t want to like Uncle Dean anymore, I''ll never like him again!"


    Dean could not stand watching her cry until she could not catch her breath. His heart softened as he


    said," Alright, Okay. I''ll go with you."


    ''Since I just underwent my surgery, I can''t start work anytime soon. I’ll just take it as a vacation and


    spend some time with Charlotte.’


    Charlotte wiped her tears away with her fair hands as she finally broke into a smile. She looked over to


    Summer and blinked a few times as if she was trying t o say ''I''m good, aren''t I?''


    Summer''s eyes smiled along with Charlotte as she gave her a big thumbs up. Charlotte''s smile grew


    even wider.


    Soon after, Summer went to the doctor''s office and asked about the important things she should pay


    attention to.


    Afterward, she went over to the reception and asked about the hospital bills. The hospital told her that


    all the payments had already been paid for under Mark’s name.


    Summer froze for a moment before thanking the staff. She then left the hospital and bought three train


    tickets for Nokoc Bay.


    At the same time, she made a phone call to her parents and sent her regards. She also informed them


    about her decision, for which they gave their full blessing.


    She thought to herself that she would be able to take care of things on her own. Her parents were not

    young anymore, so it wasn''t the best for them to be so busy with her affairs.


    Mark never stepped into the hospital from noon until night, but he did give Charlotte a call at around


    8.00 p m.


    Summer was not in Charlotte''s ward as she had gone out to get some stuff and send her luggage back


    through courier services, which was why Charlotte was the only one who talked to Mark on the phone.
