Chapter 361 An Old Friend

Stanley noticed Summer's change of mood and comforted her, "You'll remember sooner."

Summer was quite relieved.

Suddenly, she seemed to recall something and asked him, "Where is my old friend?"

She had woken up for so long, but no friend came to see her.

Did she have no friends?

Stanley's expression did not change. He did not seem to be surprised at all that Summer would ask so,
"We did not live together before. So I do not know your friends very well."

Summer had always felt that her relationship with Stanley wasn't that close. When she heard him say
this, her doubts was swept away.

Stanley told her that she had an accident abroad.

When the doctor informed Stanley, Stanley only saw her alone.

Summer lost her phone. As for the social accounts, she could not remember the user name and
password at all.

With this thought, Summer became upset again.

"Don't think too much, just let it be." Stanley patted her shoulder: "Are you hungry? I'll take you out for
dinner."

"Yes." Summer raised her head and smiled at him.



She could feel that the relationship between her and Stanley was not deep, but Stanley truly wanted to
take good care of her.

With her current situation, she couldn't get along with Stanley like a normal couple, so they could only
start as friends.

On this, they had already reached a consensus before she was discharged from the hospital.

Stanley drove her to a vegetarian restaurant not far.

Summer had slept for three years. Due to her weak gastrointestinal condition, and since all the
functions of her body were still recovering, she had a poor appetite. Therefore, she had to be a
vegetarian as much as possible.

After taking a seat, Stanley said to her, "I have come to eat in this restaurant once before. The dishes
taste good. You may also like it."

After he finished speaking, he pushed the menu to her and said, "You can order first, and I'll go to the
restroom."

"Okay." Summer took the menu and looked at it.

There were a lot of dishes, but Summer had no appetite at all. So she looked at the menu slowly.

Moreover, she felt that the dishes here were a little expensive....

At this time, a group of people walked in from outside the restaurant.

"Let's sit in a private room or just in the lobby?"

"The lobby. The private room is a little stuffy."



"Anyway, there aren't many people at the moment. Let's sit in the lobby."

As they spoke, those people walked to the dining table beside Summer and sat down.

Summer inadvertently turned to glance at the table beside her and happened to meet a man's sight.

The man looked quite young. His skin was white, and his eyebrows were straight. He was the kind of
man who was especially attractive to women and had a glib tongue.

Although the clothes he wore were simple, they were of good quality. Just with a glance, she knew he
was a son of rich family.

When the man's gaze met hers, his eyes widened and looked at her for a long time, unable to utter a
word. He stood up and rushed towards her.

He was so excited that he almost knocked the dining table over when he got up. The corner of the table
rubbed against the ground, making an ear-piercing sound.

"Sum ... Sum ... why are you here?" Carl stuttered for a while before finally calling out her name,
"Summer, why are you here? When did you return to Hoover City?"

A week ago, Carl's mother said that she found a delicious vegetarian restaurant and wanted to bring
him there if they had time.

He just happened to be free today, so they came here.

Originally, he was reluctant to come. After all, he had been urged to get married in the past two years.
Besides, his relatives always urged him to find a girlfriend, and even asked him to go on a blind date.

But now, he was glad he had come today.



He had just sat down, and when he saw Summer at the next table, he wondered if he was
hallucinating.

After all, when the accident happened back then, he had brought many people to search for her on the
island for a long time.

At first, they searched for a month. Later, when Jessica heard about this matter, she spent all her
savings and searched Summer for half a year, but ended up in vain.

They had searched everywhere on the island, but they couldn't find Summer at all.

"Do you know me?" Summer looked at Carl in surprise.

How could she know a man like Carl?

Carl looked young and rich.

Although she had forgotten all about the past, when she first looked at the menu, she felt that these
dishes were very expensive. This was enough to show that she was born ordinary and never lived a
wealthy life.

Not to mention the man called Leonardo who she saw on TV yesterday, even the man in front of her
looked like a son of rich family. Summer and he were people from different classes.

"What ... what?" Seeing Summer's expression of surprise, Carl frowned and said, "I'm Carl! What's
going on? Don't you recognize me anymore?"

Only then did Carl notice that Summer was abnormally thin. It seemed that she had just recovered from
a serious illness, and she looked extremely weak.

Summer muttered his name, "Carl...."



At this time, Stanley came back.

He stood behind Carl and said unkindly, "Sir, you're too close to her."

When Carl came over earlier, because he was too excited, he put one hand on the dining table and
leaned over to speak to Summer. As he moved closer, from other people's point of view, the way he
stared at Summer was as if he was making trouble for her.

Carl turned to look at Stanley and asked angrily, "Who are you?"

Just now, Summer's puzzled look had already depressed Carl. Now plus such an annoying man, Carl
was naturally in a bad mood.

Stanley glanced in Summer's direction and replied, "I am her friend, but who are you?"

"Are you her friend? Why don't I know you?" Carl straightened his body, crossed his arms, and stared
at Stanley provocatively.

Stanley laughed, disparagingly, "What a coincidence, I don't know you either."

"You...." Carl was tongue-tied. He turned to look at Summer and asked, "Summer, where have you
been these years?"

"I...." Just as Summer was about to speak, Stanley interrupted her.

Stanley looked at Carl expressionlessly. "She has suffered from indigestion and needs to eat at meal
time. If you have something to say, we may talk about it after meal."

Carl frowned and did not say anything.

The two men stared at each other, and only the two could understand each other's meaning.



"Alright." Carl turned to Summer and said, "Summer, let's find a place to talk after the meal."

When Carl returned to his table, his mother asked him, "Carl, who is that girl?"

"A friend I haven't seen for a long time." After Carl finished speaking, he interrupted his mother, "Take
back what you want to say. It's impossible for me and her to be together."

Outside, he was an eligible bachelor. But at home, he was an unwelcomed old bachelor.
