His Ugly Bride (Anna and Sebastian) novel Chapter 259

After speaking, Leonardo took the lead to walk.

Staring at his back, Summer followed behind him absent-mindedly.

Suddenly, Leonardo stopped.

Summer was confused, but she stopped as well.

Leonardo said, "Walk nicely."

Shocked, Summer even suspected if he had an eye on the back of his head.

Leonardo raised his foot and suddenly paused. He turned around and held her hand to lead her.

Looking at the hands of them that were clasping together, Summer was surprised. A while later she came to herself and looked up at him. His jaw-line was tight, showing a chiseled profile. But he seemed haggard indeed.

She couldn't help but ask, "You've been sleeping in the hospital these past few days?"

They happened to arrive at the elevator, and Leonardo didn't answer her indifferently until he called the elevator, "Yes."

Summer then asked, "Do you eat well?"

Leonardo only glanced at her coldly as if he was bothered.

The elevator was ready.

Summer followed Leonardo into the elevator.

Mr. Charlie lived in a VIP ward, the story of which was emptied for him to recuperate.

After walking out of the elevator, Summer saw that the corridor was filled with bodyguards. But there was no Emerson except Leonardo.

Leonardo led her to the door of Mr. Charlie's ward.

"Grandpa is inside. Just go in."

Summer opened the door and walked in.

It was her first time to visit him ever since Mr. Charlie was injured.

On the sickbed, Mr. Charlie was quietly lying there. He wore an oxygen mask and he was linked by many tubes. He was still undergoing an infusion now.

When Summer approached, she discovered that his face was as pale as paper. His eyes had sunk deeper and his face was wrinkled.

Mr. Charlie was not a kind-looking man. He always looked dignified and may overawe others, but Summer could not help but feel weepy to see him so weak.

Sitting beside the sickbed, Summer whispered, "Grandpa?" There's no reply. If it wasn't for the fog formed in the oxygen mask, Summer would have suspected whether he was alive.

"Alright, come out."

At this moment, the ward door was opened, and Leonardo's voice sounded.

Summer raised her head and wiped the tears. She stood up and walked out.

Closing the door, she asked Leonardo, "What did the doctor say?"

Leonardo did not answer her question but sized her up on the quiet.

Her eyes were slightly red. He frowned, "It's not sure when he'll wake up. And he might not be the same as before even if he could wake up.

In shock, Summer repeated his words, "He

might not be the same as before?" Leonardo looked at her expressionlessly and didn't explain.

It meant that Mr. Charlie may be crippled or paralyzed. He might be unable to take care of himself later.

Summer's face suddenly turned pale. She looked at Leonardo but did not know how to comfort him.

Thinking of this, Summer pulled Leonardo towards the elevator.

However, she did not expect to meet Adams at the entrance. Douglas and Alisa followed him.

They all came to visit Mr. Charlie. Douglas happily greeted her as soon as he saw her, "Summer!"

Summer nodded to him, "Douglas."

Then, Douglas said to Adams, "Adams, you can go first."

Alisa said before Adams could say something, "You still dare to come to the hospital? Don't you feel sorry?"

Douglas glared at Alisa, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're so annoying! There's no evidence showing it is Summer who pushed grandfather. The police didn't find anything. Summer was innocent. Why should she feel sorry?"

"Douglas, you..."

Alisa felt embarrassed by Douglas' retort, but Adams interrupted her, "Alisa, let's go over first."

Alisa was reluctant, "Adams!" But Adams was resolute, so she couldn't say anything more.

Before leaving, Alisa said sourly, "Leonardo, just protect her. Kate is already on the plane. After she comes back, let's see how you explain it to her!"

Kate?

Summer looked at Leonardo in confusion.

Douglas was sensitive and immediately whispered to Summer, "It's Leonardo's twin."

Leonardo's twin?

Summer did not know much about the Emerson family and Kate was rarely mentioned to her, so she did not know that Leonardo actually had a twin.

It was not proper to talk here. So, as soon as Adams and Alisa had left, they entered the elevator. Douglas asked Summer with concern the moment the elevator door closed, "Summer, how are you these past few days? They all said that you pushed grandfather, but I don't believe it."
