"Yes." Sumr Monroe instinctively turned around and t Old Master Kingston’s smiling face.
Looking at this face, she felt like she was being watched by an old fox.
Was it an illusion?
"Do you have any other questions?" Sumr brushed off those strange feelings and asked.
Old Master Kingston chuckled twice and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend..." Sumr glanced up and down at Old Master Kingston. She knew the old man had been single for a long ti.
Could it be...
"Don’t misunderstand!" Old Master Kingston seed to have guessed her thoughts and said, "I an, that koala ain’t got a girlfriend either. You saved him, and I have nothing else to give you. Might as well give you the boy!"
Sumr’s face darkened, and she said awkwardly, "Old Master, thank you for your kindness. But Julian Kingston and I are just friends."
"Friends for now, but you could beco a couple!" Old Master Kingston clapped his hands. "It’s settled then! You’ve already agreed with ."
"No, when did I agree with you? Old Master, I already..."
Before Sumr could finish her sentence, Old Master Kingston had already run off.
Usually, he needed a cane to walk, but now he was running like the wind. Are his legs actually alright?
Sumr was about to chase after Old Master Kingston to explain, but the elevator suddenly opened.
It was Damian Knight.
"Did you see Julian?" Damian Knight’s expression seed normal.
Sumr nodded, then intentionally asked, "What were you just doing?"
"Went to the restroom."
"And then?"
"That’s it. Had a smoke in the restroom, so it took a bit longer."
Hearing this, Sumr’s smile beca a bit stiff.
Damian Knight was hiding sothing from her.
Sumr bit her lip, but in the end, she didn’t ntion that she saw him making a phone call in the garden. Instead, she said, "I’m going to a traditional dicine shop later to get so herbs for Julian to recover sooner."
"Okay." Damian Knight nodded. "I’ll have Assistant Shelton take you."
"What about you?"
"I... have a eting at the company that I need to host."
Sumr pretended not to notice anything unusual and nodded, "I understand. You go ahead. I’ll talk to Old Master Kingston."
"Alright, I’ll have Assistant Shelton wait for you at the hospital entrance."
"Mm, you go on, take care of yourself."
"Don’t worry, my wife is waiting for at ho. I’ll definitely rush back after I’m done." Damian Knight rubbed Sumr’s head, but she couldn’t smile at all.
Normally, Damian Knight would ask what she was going to say to Old Master Kingston, but this ti he didn’t.
A sense of loss washed over her heart.
Sumr suddenly realized that she cared about Damian Knight more than she thought.
It wasn’t until Damian Knight’s figure disappeared behind the closing elevator doors that Sumr finally snapped back to reality and turned to find Old Master Kingston.
She consoled herself that maybe Damian Knight wasn’t intentionally hiding anything from her; perhaps that phone call was just trivial.
Sumr took a deep breath and went to the nurse station to ask.
"Excuse , have you seen a family mber accompanying an ICU patient? An old man with a cane."
The nurse looked at her excitedly and replied happily, "He seed to go that way. Sumr Monroe, can you give an autograph?"
Sumr was about to politely decline when she suddenly saw Old Master Kingston coming her way.
She was about to call out to Old Master Kingston, but upon seeing her, he reacted like a mouse seeing a cat, yelled "Ah," and turned around to run off again.
Sumr was left completely bewildered.
What’s going on??
