My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170

Amelie returned to the hospital with Bria.

Julia and Steven had heard the news and soon hurried over.

“My Bria, my dear granddaughter.” Steven wrapped his arms around Bria as he cried like a little boy.

Amelie’s heart clenched as she looked at her father.

He had never once thought of wanting anything for himself. He gave all his love to Amelie and

Bria.

They were more important than life to him.

Steven’s tears made Bria reach out to wrap her arms around his neck. “Don’t cry, Grandpa. There, there.”

As she comforted him, she wiped away his tears.

They made quite the heartwarming sight.

Julia turned to look at them as well. When she saw Bria and Steven hugging, she could not help but let out an aww.

“How did you find Bria?” It was hard not to be curious.

The entire incident started with so much terror, but the ending was so strange that anyone would be surprised.

Amelie tiredly rubbed her eyes. She did not want to speak of Leo in front of Bria and Steven, so she pressed a hand on Julia’s hand as a gesture to say they would speak about it later

In spite of her raging curiosity, Julia suppressed it and nodded.

Amelie stayed by Bria and Steven’s side.

They then called a doctor to thoroughly check Bria over.

They only stopped worrying after the doctor said Bria was completely fine and cured of her mild poisoning.

It was inevitable that Steven would ask about Bria’s disappearance, but Amelie merely told him that a human trafficker had snuck into the hospital and stolen her away.

She was not afraid of the Alstons, but afraid of his old age. She was afraid something bad might happen.

The group eventually left the hospital.

Amelie waited until both Bria and Steven were asleep before heading downstairs.

Julia and Samuel were waiting for her.

When Amelie appeared, Julia swiftly strode over to her with fire in her eyes.

“Elie, Leo and the Alstons have gone over the line! No matter what, we cannot forgive them for this! I’ve already contacted the lawyers. A public complaint will be sent soon. We will sue them!”

In the time Amelie spent with her daughter and father, Julia found out about what happened through Samuel.

Samuel worriedly glanced at his short-tempered fiancée. “There are too many suspicious details in this incident. Don’t you think you’re being a little hasty?”

He then turned to Amelie. “I know you’re all angry, but don’t you find it strange? Why does Leo need to go through all the effort to drug Bria before taking her away from the hospital? Why was she specifically brought to Leo’s home instead of anywhere else?”

Julia’s hatred for Leo was currently so strong that the mere mention of his name set her heart

aflame.

She scoffed upon hearing Samuel’s questions. “It’s all an act. They have to make it realistic to sell the act. While he was playing us for fools, he secretly stole Bria. Then, he will accuse us of being too careless with Bria. With evidence, it will be so easy for him to gain custody of her. As for why he had the child brought to his home, it must be because he thought the most dangerous place is the safest hiding spot. He thought we wouldn’t search his properties. That’s why he had the guts to be so brazen.”

“Even so, he is Bria’s father. How could he drug his own child?”

“Leo Alston is a cold-blooded man. Naturally, the end justifies the means. You both know how he is when it comes to business over the years. What’s there to wonder about?”

Samuel opened his mouth as if to rebuke, but eventually kept quiet and just glanced at Amelie.

Julia was beside herself with anger right now, so she would not listen to logic at all.

Amelie met Samuel’s eyes. The question she saw in his gaze startled him.

“Elie, you don’t believe Samuel’s hypotheses, right?” Julia asked, dashing over to tug at Amelie’s

“Julia, let Elie think for herself,” Samuel softly said.

Although Julia was extremely upset, she still went quiet.

Amelie silently contemplated for a full minute before eventually opening her mouth…

Night had fallen.

Melissa was not fast asleep in bed as she usually would be.

Currently, she was rushing down a long corridor with hurried footsteps.

Her fingers clutched tight at her bag.
