When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113

Elyse is pregnant? Then, a blast of fury coursed through her body. “Elyse!” she growled, her eyes set on Elyse

Elyse pretended she had just realized she had said something wrong “Oh, sorry I thought he told you I was in the hospital. We saw Bria when she was taken to the ER. I knew he must be worried, so I told him to see her He is Bria’s father. Of course, he needs to take responsibility. Our fight remains between us. The child is innocent. Even if Leo marries me, Bria is still his daughter. That will never change. Of course, he needs to care

about her.”

So, he’s only showing concern to Bria because Elyse told him to? I see. He never liked her, but all of a sudden, he changed. And he said he wouldn’t try to take her away from me Told us to stay I bet it was Elyse’s idea too. How much do you love her, Leo? Amelie felt a chill course through her veins, and she clenched the wheelchair’s handle with force enough to turn her knuckles white.

“Mommy, why did she say that?” Bria asked quietly, and Amelie snapped out of it.

Elyse was no longer there, and Bria was staring at Amelie dumbly. Tears were glistening in her eyes.

“Bria…” Amelie felt something tearing her heart apart.

She crouched down, trying to cheer Bria up, but the girl was already staring down in despondence I see. Daddy doesn’t like me. He only came because that lady asked him to. That lady she has Daddy’s baby. Daddy doesn’t want me anymore.”

“Bria…” Amelie wanted to lie, to tell her that Leo liked her, but she didn’t think her daughter could read between the lines so well. And she gulped, though it failed to make her swallow the lump in her throat All the light in her daughter’s eyes dimmed, and Amelie couldn’t even say anything to comfort her.

Oh, right. I did see him and Elyse back when Bria was sent to the hospital, and he was holding her protectively. Of course, he was. She’s pregnant with their baby. And now Bria’s hurt. Hurt because she saw through his pretend love. All Amelie could do was hug her daughter. Small comfort, but still some comfort

“You still have me, Bria.”

Bria leaned on her mother’s chest, rubbing her head against Amelie’s shoulder like a cat. She didn’t cry, nor did she shout. But her silence only broke Amelie’s heart more. She hugged her child for a long, long time. And then, Bria pulled her arm out to pat Amelie’s back. “I have you, Julia, Samuel, Blake, Jamie, and Grandpa. They love me. I’m not sad at all, Mommy.”

Oh, Bria… So young, but so brave. Amelie teared up. Worried that Leo might show up and ruin Bria’s mood, Amelie went through the paperwork and got her child discharged that very day. Bria’s wound was healed, fortunately. The surgery was but a minor one.

Amelie didn’t return to her house, however. Instead, she went to another property of hers. She then called Julia and turned her phone off. Not too long later, Julia came to her house, accompanied by a doctor. “What happened? Why did she get appendicitis out of nowhere? I thought you had gone back to Quinn Town.”

Julia had been vacationing with Samuel these past few days. She had no idea Bria was hospitalized until Amelie called her.

Amelie briefed her on the matter, but she omitted the fact about Leo’s visits and the ‘truth.” She didn’t want Julia to yell at him again and talking about Leo might sadden Bria.
