Chapter 195

“Snowy.”

What did she say?

“What did you just say?” He instinctively placed his hand on the blanket as his throat tightened.

He had to be sure.

Amelie mumbled softly again, but the sounds were too soft and muffled that he couldn’t hear anything

at all! After that, she fell into a deep sleep while Leo maintained that position without moving a muscle.

After a long while, he turned around suddenly and walked out.

“I’m fine. You can get to work.”

In the treatment room, Julia, whose arm was hanging from a bandage, walked out together with

Samuel.

Obviously, she had just been treated for dislocation, but it had been dislocated for quite a long time, so

the doctor put it into a sling for now.

From the unhappy look on her face, Samuel knew that what happened earlier had a significant impact

on her, and he didn’t say anything, only squeezing her shoulders a little as a form of silent comfort.

It was true that there were a lot of matters to follow up on, so he only stayed briefly, leaving after giving

her a few instructions.

Then, she walked toward Amelie’s ward with one harm in the sling. A few steps later, she saw Leo

standing opposite her, watching her with a solemn gaze.

Even though she didn’t seem to be afraid of him and had even publicly expressed her dislike for him,

she still stiffened out of reflex when she met those eyes.

She had to admit that he carried a very dominant air, especially after what happened.

Despite the guilt in her heart, she bit the bullet and paced over.

“Mr. Alston, I know you’re here to settle the score with me. What happened today is my fault. I didn’t

take care of Bria properly and almost… Almost caused her and Elie’s death.”

When she brought this up, she choked a little. But, even if Leo didn’t reprimand her, there was no

hiding the wave of remorse that was currently overwhelming her.

“A mistake is a mistake, and I’m not going to make an excuse for it. You can decide what punishment I

deserve!” she said and squeezed her eyes shut.

Leo watched her silently. Usually, she had a sharp tongue and wasn’t very likable, but at this moment,

he thought that it wasn’t so bad that Amelie befriended her.

“I’m not here to pursue responsibility. I have another question for you,” he said.

“Huh?” He’s not going to blame me? Julia’s eyes popped open in shock, gawking at him in disbelief

and thinking that she had misheard him.

When she placed herself in his shoes, she reckoned that, given his temper, he would at least beat her

to a pulp after something like this happened!

“What is it?” she asked tentatively.

“Who was the person you told me before that cured my eye?”

She was startled by that particular question. “Huh?”

At that time, she told him this purely because she was scared out of her wits by the collapse of the

supermarket and thought that Amelie would not survive; it was a result of her recklessness.

And now… If I tell him, will Elie skin me alive?

Actually, she was in a dilemma when it came to this matter. Although she was afraid that Amelie would

skin her alive, she couldn’t ignore the help and protection he showed toward Amelie today.

She reckoned that he wasn’t as aloof to her as it seemed. At least he cared about her, to some extent.

At the thought of this, she opened her mouth. “I told you that it’s—”

“Leo.”

Before she could spit out the name, a loud, clear voice interrupted her, and both of them turned their

heads simultaneously. Their eyes fell on Elyse, who was dressed in a short sleeveless dress and

holding the shoulder strap of her handbag as she stood modestly with a beautiful smile on her

gorgeous face.

When she got their attention, she started walking toward them on her long, skinny legs.

Her arrival was a bucket of cold water on Julia’s head, sobering her immediately.

What am I doing? Trying to match them up? Leo is already engaged to Elyse. So, what’s the point of

telling him this? To make him uncomfortable or to turn Elie into a third party? She thought and

shrugged with a smile. “I’m sorry, Mr. Alston. I was so angry at that time that I babbled some nonsense

to make you uncomfortable.”

Then, she walked past them expressionlessly and left.

Behind her, Elyse smirked and watched her back, her eyes gleaming with a malicious light.

“What are you doing here?” Leo asked with a stony face.

She hid away that sweet and happy expression from earlier and quivered when she faced his stoicism.

“Something so major happened today, and I came over to take a look because I’m worried about you

and Bria.”

“She’s doing very well. You can leave now.”

The way he spoke was so rude that she thought he was chasing away a stray dog, and her fingers

twitched and curled under the hem of her dress. Her facial features would have long been distorted into

a nasty scowl if he weren’t standing in front of her.

When she saw that he had started walking away, she hastily followed in his heels. “Leo, we’re already

a family since we’re engaged, making Bria my daughter as well. I should take care of her.”

When she said that, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and her face lit up with delight. Then, she

reached out and grabbed his arm, and he didn’t shove her aside!

Initially, she was merely testing the waters, but Leo’s reactions were all out of her expectations!

She pursed her lips to prevent her gleeful smile from appearing as her heart was flooded with delight.

She thought, Looks like Bria is his soft spot. It’s good that he has a soft spot.

“Do you have anything to do with the accident today?” he asked out of the blue while she was secretly

basking in happiness.

Her smile turned stiff on her face, and her heart jumped to her throat. The void in her chest was

immediately replaced with terror.

A few seconds later, her face twitched, and she mumbled, “Leo, w-what do you mean?” Then, she

started whining aggrievedly, “I cannot be so powerful that I can stage a collapse!”

After she spoke, she tried her best to squeeze out tears and started crying tears that emphasized her

downtrodden expression while she bit her lip.

“Even if it’s for Elie’s sake, I won’t do something so heinous. In my heart, I know that everything I have

right now was given by her. I’m not such a jerk.”

When she brought up Ellen, Leo’s expression softened a little, but his tone was still grim, “If the report

comes out, in the end, showing that this matter is connected to you, even your sister won’t be able to

save you!”

“Don’t worry. It won’t be me.” She was so overwhelmed by guilt that she didn’t even dare to meet his

eyes.

After being by his side for so long, she could sense the depths of his coldness and ruthlessness.

As it turned out, she was really too well-protected by him in the past, and the more she thought about it,

the more remorse she felt, blaming herself for her ignorance back then and not holding on to this man

properly.

Unfortunately, there was no cure for regret in this world.

Her initial plan when she came over was to butter up Leo and smooth things over with him over the fact

that the Alstons were not at the scene today. But after the scare he gave her, she didn’t dare to stay

any longer and scurried away after coming up with a random excuse.

Then, in a secluded corner, she took out her phone and called a number. “How is it going with the

matter today? Leo already has his suspicions about me, and I’ll be dead if he finds out the truth.

Whatever it is, you have to cover up this matter properly!”

After she hung up, she panted heavily while desperately clutching the cell phone. Unbeknownst to her,

a pair of eyes was watching her in the dark, and he had heard every word she said.

He waited until she had left before he walked out slowly, revealing a handsome, young face.
