hapter 237 A Summer That Stayed
The second time he saw her was when she barged into his secret hideout at the hospital rooftops
He coldly told her to get lost and not to disturb him. Her already red eyes grew even redder, and tears spulled down her cheeks.
I’m sorry. My mom scolded me, and I just wanted to hide here and cry for a bit. Then, she asked, her voice full of grievance, “Why does nobody like me?”
After saying that, she wiped her tears and ran off
Fraser still didn’t feel much. He only found her constantly teary eyes annoying to look at.
A few days later, he ran into the girl again. She was crouched in a corner, petting a stray dog, which was later named Pudding.
When she saw him appear, she hesitated for a long time before finally gathering the courage to approach him. “Hey, do you have any food? I want to feed the puppy”
Fraser stared at her with an unreadable expression, his gaze then shifting to the small, filthy, skin–and–bones puppy.
Initially, he intended to walk away, but for some reason, he reached into his pocket and pulled out two sausages.
The girl’s eyes lit up. “Thank you”
She fed one to the puppy. Then, her own stomach growled. The little girl pursed her lips before quietly eating the remaining sausage herself.
Fraser asked, expressionless, “Are you very poor
At his words, her face flushed bright red. “I’ll pay you back for the sausage!
Whether from embarrassment or because he had hit a nerve, she grabbed the puppy and ran off
The fourth time, she sought him out. She was still wearing the same faded, washed–out jeans. She hesitantly stretched out her small hand, revealing the same brand of sausage he had given her. The sausages you gave me were too expensive. I worked in the cafeteria for a few days to earn enough money to buy this and return it to you.”
Fraser glanced at her red, chapped hands. Without hesitation, he took the sausage from her hand and tossed it into the trash.
She clearly had not expected this. Her eyes widened in shock, then filled with anger and frustration.
She immediately ran to the trash can and picked up the sausage. Claring at him, she questioned him, “How can you do that? Do you know how many people in this world don’t even have enough to eat? I didn’t mean to eat your sausage that day! My mom ignored me for almost a week, and I was too hungry i
y to resist!”
At the same time, the scrawny stray dog leapt out from behind her. With its thin little paws, it furiously scratched at Fraser, as if protesting on her behalf.
Fraser could not explain the restlessness stirring inside him. Is had been a long time since he had felt any emotions at all. He simply tossed out a cold, “So dumb. Then, he left.
A week later, Fraser had just endured another pointless therapy session with so–called top psychological experts.
It was exhausting
These old fouls always said the same things.
He ditched his bodyguards to go for a walk, only to run into her again.

find someone to take care of it. I’ll give it away. Please don’t be mad.”

“Then keep starving for another week! Let’s see if I’ll even pay you any attention! The women said. After venting her anger. the woman finally left.
Fraser watched as the girl wiped her tears and gently stroked the dog. Tm sorry, little one. I don’t think I can take care of you
anymore.
“Hey,” Fraser voiced.
She turned her head at his voice. But perhaps remembering how he had thrown away the sausage last time, she ignored him.
He asked. “What’s your name?”
She still did not answer.
Hah. So proud.
Fraser drawled, “Sausage.”
The little girl frowned and finally snapped, “What? My name’s not Sausage! I’m Summer”
“Summer?”
Yes, Summer Leonard.”
Fraser’s face remained expressionless, his voice indifferent. I’ll take care of the dog
Upon hearing this, Summer’s dark, crystal–clear eyes sparkled like glass, shimmering with excitement. She smiled brightly.
Fraser had seen her so many times, but this was the first time he had seen her smile.
Her clothes were simple, ordinary. But that day, the summer sun shone brilliantly.
And her face, warm and fair, with gentle eyes, just like a summer breeze, quietly rippling through the deepest part of his
heart.
