My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167

“I haven’t done anything to Bria. Did you guys misunderstand something?” Leo knew that Amelie and Steven wouldn’t tell him anything unless he first cleared his name.

“You dare to say that you haven’t done anything to Bria?!” Steven’s voice sounded again before Amelie could respond. It was really terrifying when a person who never got angry became furious. When he exploded, every word sounded like thunder. “Bria suddenly got food poisoning. and right after that, your mother came to the office and questioned us, demanding custody of the child. We scared her away, and she left with dissatisfaction, so she finds people to take Bria away!”

The more he talked about it, the more poignant he felt. How can these people bully my daughter like that in front of my eyes? How did she survive those four years without me?

Seeing how furious he was, Amelie was heartbroken and blamed herself for it. Steven was already at a very old age. As his daughter, she should be letting him enjoy the rest of his life, but now, she still made him worry about her.

After she took a deep breath, she lowered her head in front of Leo. “It doesn’t matter whether you guys want to hide Bria or plan to use this incident to gain her custody, but please be magnanimous and let her go. She is still a child. She’ll be scared…” Toward the end of her sentence, her voice trembled very badly.

Meanwhile, Leo lowered his head to look at her. Not only is there no more affection in her eyes, but endless doubt has also replaced it. She won’t believe me anymore. At this thought, he felt an extreme sourness in his chest as though he had been poured a bucket of lemon juice. Why does her attitude cause such a big reaction in me? Yet, almost immediately, he remembered something more important.

“I’m reaffirming this-Bria is my daughter. I would never do anything to harm her. I didn’t poison her or take her away. What we should be doing now is finding out where she is and saving her as soon as possible.” After saying that, he quickly made a call to ask someone to investigate this.

Only when Amelie heard everything he had said did she drop her suspicion on him momentarily. Then, she called Julia and Samuel to inform them about what had happened there.

After the call, she held Steven to check the surveillance. Since they thought that Leo was the one who took Bria away, they had yet to go to the surveillance room.

Meanwhile, Leo followed both of them to the surveillance room as well.

He had the urge to walk over to give her some support and hug her when he saw her holding her father and staring at the surveillance monitor from a distance. Although she tried hard to suppress her emotion, she still couldn’t hide her trembling body.

In the surveillance, there was only footage of a doctor pushing Bria into the inspection room, but the situation in the inspection room couldn’t be seen at all. Yet, that was exactly where Bria had disappeared.

The doctor was also in shock over such a serious incident, so he took the initiative to call the

police.

By the time the three of them had finished watching the surveillance footage, the police had already arrived.

Since they didn’t see how Bria left the hospital, both Amelie and Steven nearly collapsed. It was especially so for Steven. He was old, so he couldn’t afford to handle a shock like this. Even his body was wobbling.

While suppressing the huge anxiety in her, Amelie held him with all her strength.

When Leo saw Amelie and Steven depending on each other as they came out of the room, he couldn’t endure it anymore. He went forward and held her. For once, she accepted his support and didn’t reject him.

The moment Steven saw the police, he ran over to hold the chief’s hand. With tears flowing down his cheeks, he begged, “Please, officer. You must help us find our child. Please.”

At the same time, the president of the hospital came down with a pale face as well since it was a very serious matter for a patient to suddenly disappear from the hospital. Furthermore, when he saw Leo, his expression turned even more terrified. “I’m sorry, Mr. Alston. We didn’t know something like this would happen either.”
