Rosie crawled to Summer, "Have you taken any medicine? You are sick, and pills can get you better."
Summer was going to stroke Rosie's head, but she found a needle in her hand. Only then did she notice the infusion bottle as well as Tim and Violet, who were walking to her.
She was even shocked, "Tim?"
Summer now completely regained her senses. She remembered what had happened. She fell in the bathroom when she was going to taking a bath.
Tim nodded slightly and said, "I heard 'Lost City 2' wrapped yesterday. Today I was on vacation and was going to take my wife out. I came by your house to see if you were home. I thought if you came back, you and Rosie could go out with us. But no one opened the door. We found someone to unlock the door... only to find you faint in the bathroom."
"Is she your wife?" Summer looked at Violet curiously.
She had known Tim for so many years, but it was the first time she had met his wife.
"Hello, Ms. Summer. I'm Violet," She glanced at her infusion bottle and said, "It's almost finished. I'll prescribe another two bottles for you.
Summer asked, "Are you a doctor?"
Violet nodded, smiling. Then she pulled out the needle.
After figuring out the whole thing, Summer turned to Rosie.
She held Rosie in her arms, "Oh my little Rosie, let me see whether you gain more weight."
But Rosie was a little reluctant to her embrace,
"Mom, I'm heavy. Don't hold me."
"It's fine. I can carry you no matter how heavy you are." Summer was still very weak because she had a fever and didn't eat breakfast. But when she saw Rosie, she became energetic as if she had got fully charged.
Rosie giggled. She touched Summer's face, blinking, "You look sick."
Summer didn't look well. Her eyes were lusterless; the lips were pale; her face wore a leaden hue.
Tim heaved a sigh of relief when seeing Summer cheer up and interact with Rosie. Fortunately, Rosie was with Summer, or she wouldn't believe the story he just made up.
"Ms. Summer, let me take another look at you. " Violet opened the medicine chest she brought.
When Rosie heard that Summer needed a check, she got down from Summer and quietly sat beside her. She opened her eyes wide and curiously watched Violet doing the check.
Summer felt satisfied and distressed when she found Rosie so thoughtful.
She pursed her lips silently, then cooperated with Violet seriously, while Tim went out.
When he got outside, he called Leonardo.
Before Tim could speak, Leonardo asked, "Is she awake?"
"Mrs. Emerson is awake, and she buys my story. And she doesn't know you were here." After Tim said, Leonardo remained silent.
After a while, he heard Leonardo's voice, "That's good."
Tim didn't say anything because he didn't know what to say.
Just when he thought that Leonardo was going to hang up, Leonardo said, "Send a servant from the villa to take care of her."
"I know." Though the servant was going to attend to Summer, the servant would be nominally sent for Rosie.
After Tim ended the call, he entered the bedroom and found Violet had already finished the checkup. Summer had to stay in bed for rest.
However, it woke Summer up.
"Rosie?" Summer propped herself up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Rosie turned around and said in a soft voice, "I'm hungry."
Then she patted Summer, saying, "Go sleep."
Before Violet left, she told Summer to rest more, and Rosie kept it in her mind.
'Tm much better now." Summer sat up, got out of bed and put on a coat. Then, she carried Rosie out of bed, put on her shoes and took her out.
The servant had just cooked and was about to call them out.
The servant said respectfully, "I was just about to call you for dinner."
Summer glanced at the dining table and found several dishes which looked bland.
Summer nodded and said, "Thanks."
"I just do what I should do. You treated us very well back then." The servant mentioned the period when Summer lived in Leonardo's villa. However, Summer felt she was not particularly nice to them.
Summer only smiled and didn't say anything else. As Rosie was hungry, Summer took Rosie directly to the dining table.
Summer was also hungry, but she had no appetite. She was basically watching Rosie eat.
Rosie had always been a good eater and wasn't picky about food. Everyone would like the child with good eating habit, and certainly Summer was no exception.
