Sumr pretended not to know anything and asked in confusion, "Dad, what’s happened to Aunt?"
Henry Stanton sighed and said, "It’s all because of that short-lived one... Your aunt can’t accept her death and has been mad ever since. I’ve had her confined to a room to prevent alarming the mourning guests."
Sumr nodded and said, "Aunt cared deeply for my sister. Although she was an adopted daughter, she was treated like her own child. If she truly saw Clarissa as her own daughter, it’s natural she’d react this way to Clarissa’s sudden death."
Henry Stanton heard this, coughed dryly, and said, "Don’t concern yourself with this matter. With ti, she’ll naturally co to terms."
"But..." Sumr’s eyes shifted as she said, "It’s not a solution to let this continue. Aunt being brokenhearted might harm her health. Why not have Dr. Jason co and take a look?"
Henry Stanton raised an eyebrow and said, "That’s an idea. I’m not sure if Dr. Jason is easy to get? Would he make a house call?"
Damian Knight spoke up from the side, "Dad, you don’t need to worry about that. I’ll call Jason to co over right now."
"Good, good! Thank you, son-in-law."
"We’re all family, why thank?" Damian Knight said this while taking out his phone to call Jason.
He had already coordinated with Jason on his way over to avoid Sumr’s affair from being exposed.
Jason answered the call and said he happened to be off-duty and could co imdiately.
Damian Knight hung up the phone and told Henry Stanton, "He’ll be here within half an hour."
Henry Stanton breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It’s great that Dr. Jason can co. His dical skills are so superb, he will surely help Stella recover quickly."
However, Henry Stanton didn’t notice the subtle glow in Sumr’s eyes.
Sumr had an idea.
An idea that could catch Stella Monroe and Felix Jennings all at once.
Yet, the change in Sumr’s eyes did not escape Damian Knight’s notice.
Taking advantage of Henry Stanton’s ti in the backyard, he asked in a voice only they could hear, "Eyes shifting so fast, got any bright ideas?"
Sumr smirked, "Are your eyes... made with detectors?"
Damian Knight shrugged, waiting for her to continue.
Sumr smiled slightly, and like Damian Knight earlier, she cryptically said with a smile, "Seems I’ll have to put on another performance, you’ll see soon enough."
Damian Knight was not in a hurry, showing a look anticipating a good show.
Not long after, Dr. Jason arrived.
Upon seeing Sumr, Jason’s face showed barely concealed excitent; he genuinely admired Sumr, but recalling Damian Knight’s prior instructions, he suppressed his excitent and adopted the deanor of a skilled doctor, asking Damian Knight, "Young Master Knight, where’s the patient?"
"Upstairs." Damian Knight paused, then said to Sumr, "I’ll go bring Henry Stanton over; anwhile, you chat with Dr. Jason for a while."
"Okay." Sumr nodded, leading Jason upstairs, taking advantage of no one around, she secretly handed him an item.
Jason asked in shock, "What’s this?"
Sumr whispered a few words to Jason, and his eyes imdiately sparkled, saying, "You actually have such a thing? Where did you get it? I heard it was imdiately banned after being developed."
Sumr smiled faintly and said, "Where it ca from isn’t your concern. Just do as I instructed."
How would Jason disagree?
He nodded his head akin to pounding garlic, pounding his chest and promising, "Rest assured, I will definitely use it well."
"Hm." Sumr nodded upon hearing Henry Stanton’s voice coming from downstairs, then gestured for Jason to be silent and subsequently feigned worry, loudly reminding Jason, "Teacher Jason, you absolutely must cure my aunt."
