After some time, Amelie replied to him coldly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chandler. It's not my responsibility to help you with this. I don't care what intentions you have, but things are over between Leo and me. I won't do anything for him."
When Chandler heard her words, he frowned, almost exposing his true intentions. "Why are you being so heartless, Miss Dillon?"
Not wanting to put up the act with him anymore, Amelie went straight to the point and said, "I don't care what you want from the Alston Family, but don't think about hurting me or my family!" she warned sternly before pressing a button. "Leave at once!"
As soon as her words fell, the door opened, and Gladys entered. "Right this way, sir."
Chandler looked at Amelie unwillingly before he stormed off.
As Amelie watched him leave, she crossed her arms and squinted her eyes. Although she was suspicious as to why he was here, she was also stunned by the news he brought. Once she realized that Leo had a mental illness, she felt suffocated and found it hard to breathe.
…
In the meantime, sounds of things breaking and screaming could be heard from a VIP ward in the hospital. "Get out! Get out of here!"
Jodie, who had just woken up, was a mess. Her hair was disheveled, and she was pale in the face. She threw everything she could find at the people in her room. The nurses and Melissa were jumping around the room, avoiding being thrown at. They wanted to get close to her, but they were afraid.
"Calm down, Jodie. Let's talk nicely!" Melissa called out hastily.
However, Jodie's eyes were filled with madness, and she had no thoughts of calming down. After she had thrown everything on the floor, she was still frustrated. Then, she ripped the IV bottle and threw it against the door.
At this moment, a tall figure entered the room. In that split second, the bottle crashed against his feet, and the liquid soaked his shoes while shards flew everywhere. Leo was momentarily startled, but his facial expression remained. As he looked at Jodie, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
At that moment, Jodie acknowledged his presence. Immediately, tears rolled down her eyes.
Seeing that she had stopped throwing things everywhere, Melissa rushed toward the woman and hugged her. "It's okay, Jodie. Calm down. You are still wounded. If you keep moving around, your injuries will worsen," she comforted her while patting her back.
"My legs are wasted! There is no difference!" Jodie cried hysterically. "I have become a useless person! I would rather just die!" As she spoke, she pushed Melissa away and tried to fall off the bed. However, the nurses soon surrounded her and stopped her from doing so.
Jodie cried while struggling to get out of their grasp. "Why are you guys stopping me?! Let me go! I don't want to live anymore! Just let me die!"
As Jodie thrashed around, Melissa was fed up. She had lived a life of luxury for such a long time that she couldn't deal with this. She seemed annoyed, and she rubbed her temples tiredly.
