Chapter 391 Something Had Happened to Jodie
Leo got a call from Eugene in the middle of the night.
“Mr. Alston! Something had happened to Miss Jodie!”
When Leo heard his words, he gripped his phone and asked coldly, “What’s going on?”
“Miss Jodie had escaped from the guards that we sent to protect her. Right now, she is missing,” Eugene reported truthfully.
Leo frowned when he heard the news. Then, he quickly asked, “Where is Chandler?”
After all, he didn’t believe that Jodie could escape the guards alone.
However, Eugene was not sure, as he had just received the guards’ call. “I’m not sure. I asked the guards, and they told me that Miss Jodie had got a phone call during the process. After the call ended, she told them she was going to the washroom. Then, she escaped from the washroom’s windows!”
“Check where Chandler is now!” Leo ordered.
“Yes.”
After Leo hung up the phone, he paced around the room. He had his hands on his hips as he furrowed his eyebrows.
Jodie refuses to leave the house because there is nowhere better than here. Under such circumstances, she has no reason to escape from the guards. However, there is only one person whom she trusts and who will help her escape from the guards.
As Leo thought about it, he picked up his phone and dialed Chandler’s number. Before his finger landed on the screen, someone had called him. When he saw who the caller was, he had a complicated expression as he stopped himself from declining it. After some time, he answered the call.
“Leo.” On the other hand of the phone was Amelie’s voice. “Jodie is in the hospital.”
Five hours later, as the private plane landed, a group of people walked out from the plane. Leo and a servant were helping Melissa, who was trembling, to walk.
Dullness filled Melissa’s face, and her legs trembled as she walked.
“L-Leo, Jojo… She is going to be fine, right?” Melissa’s voice was weak as she asked.
Hearing her words, Leo pursed his lips and hummed in response. He had a grim expression.
“Isn’t she supposed to be at Alsken? Why is she at Lumaria? Moreover, why is Amelie with her? What is happening?” Melissa kept bombarding Leo with questions.
However, Leo didn’t reply as he quickened his pace.
As soon as they exited the plane, a limousine stopped by their side, and the door opened automatically. The driver got out of the car and stood by the door. Leo and Melissa were not in the mood to appreciate the driver and quickly got into the car. Then, the door closed, and the driver drove off.
After half an hour, the car stopped by the hospital in the central city of Lumaria.
Amelie was waiting by the door in a black dress. The dress highlighted her unblemished skin, and she looked tall. Her dress and hair swayed with the wind, seemingly as if she was on a fashion show. When she saw Leo and Melissa, she pursed her lips and nodded to them. “She is upstairs.”
Then, they walked up the stairs.
As Leo’s gaze landed on her, Melissa asked before he could say it. “How is she?”
At that moment, Amelie’s expression stiffened. “You’ll know when you see her.”
Hearing her words, Leo frowned and had a complicated expression.
As soon as the elevator opened its door, Melissa was the first to dart out. When Leo was going to walk out of the elevator, Amelie grabbed his arm and said, “Please comfort Mrs. Alston.”
