Chapter 184
Leo pulled Ashton away. “The most important thing right now is to find the best doctor for her and go about the best treatment plan. I’ll try to get in touch with one.”
Leo then turned to leave.
Behind him, Ashton gritted his teeth. “Damn it!”
He really hated Leo’s attitude.
Leo quickly contacted top experts abroad and called for a private plane to pick them up. Within ten hours, the top experts would arrive.
He frowned after making all these arrangements and suddenly missed Bria a lot.
With that in mind, he went to buy some toys and rushed to the child’s school.
Bria didn’t know what was going on between him and Amelie and was very happy to see him.
The two stayed together for two hours before Leo left and went back to the company.
At the entrance of the company, Laura greeted him anxiously. “President, you’re finally back. Something happened to Elyse.”
Leo and Laura rushed to the hospital and saw Elyse on the roof of the hospital.
She stood on the edge, trembling as if she could fall off at any second.
Her face was bleak and full of despair.
Ashton stood at the side in fear. He was trying to persuade her to come down.
Beside him was Elyse’s father, Michael. He was yelling at her, looking terrified. “Elyse! Don’t scare me. Come down quickly. I’ve already lost your sister. I can’t lose you too. As long as you come down, I’ll do anything for you.”
At this moment, she burst into tears. “Dad, I’m very sick. It’s meaningless for me to live! This is karma. My sister is punishing me. I pretended to be her, and I caught feelings for someone that I shouldn’t. On top of that, I never learned how to cherish it!”
“Why would your sister punish you? She cared about you so much. Even… even when she knew she was dying, her last words were to let you stay in this world instead of her and be happy on her behalf. She loved you so much.”
“No, no. That’s not true!” Elyse cried out and covered her ears tightly, refusing to listen.
Noticing Leo, Michael ran to grab him. “Mr. Alston, please. Please say something to her. Elyse cares about you so much. As long as you talk to her, she will surely listen.”
Melissa, who heard the news, had also run over.
When she saw the scene, she was visibly upset. “What is going on? The reporters have gathered downstairs. What would the reporters say if she jumped? They will start to make assumptions and it’ll be linked to us, saying that we forced her to her death! Leony, you have to stop her immediately!”
All Melissa cared about her entire life was her reputation. As such, how could she possibly let such a thing happen now?
When Michael heard what Melissa said, he muttered again, “Mr. Alston, Elyse is desperate and insecure. Please, for Elie’s sake. Please help her, even if it’s just a lie. Elie has done so much for you. It won’t be too much of a favor for you to marry Elyse now. Elie wanted Elyse to live on for her. Isn’t that more or less asking you to marry Elyse?”
Leo didn’t bother responding.
Among everyone’s panic, he was so calm that it was frightening.
Those eyes glared at Elyse from a distance. Without even moving his mouth, his eyes spoke thousands of words.
When Elyse met his eyes, her heart beat faster and she could hardly stand without support!
She began to think. If Leo didn’t show up to stop her, would she go through with it?
If she did so, she would be smashed to pieces!
Elyse’s legs suddenly turned to jelly.
Michael saw it and kneeled in front of Leo. “Mr. Alston, please, save my daughter. Please save her! As long as you save her, I’ll do anything for you!”
On the other hand, Ashton looked annoyed as he ran his fingers through his hair.
At this time, Laura came running towards Leo. “Those reporters found out it’s Elyse who’s going to jump. They’re already rushing upstairs! Mr. Alston, what should we do?”
Leo frowned and stared at Ashton.
