When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136

“What?” Amelie turned around and looked at Toby.

“You have a problem with your eye because you went through a cornea transplant to donate your cornea to Leo. Am I right?” Toby suddenly increased his volume, and there was a tone of certainty in his voice.

Although Amelie’s cornea transplant was just his suspicion and he didn’t have any proof, he just believed that she had donated her cornea. The moment he realized that, his heart wrenched sharply, and he felt a part of him missing: even breathing was difficult for him.

Meanwhile, his eyes were fixed on her face—her left eye, in particular.

Toby was usually gentle and had never shown his assertive side, so it startled Amelie. At this moment, her mind was in chaos, but she chuckled after a few seconds. “You do know how to make a joke, Mr. Walsh. If I had donated my cornea to Leo, I would’ve told him ages ago. That way, he wouldn’t have snubbed me for the whole four years.” With her head tilted, there was a mere smile on her face, and her eyes looked like they were

staring into space.

Judging from her expression, he was suddenly doubting what he was so sure about a few minutes ago.

“You should stop imagining things. Mr. Walsh.” Amelie tried her best to hide her feelings as she acted indifferently.

Although she didn’t regret her foolish decision at that time, she wasn’t willing to open up about this topic anymore. Everything related to Leo had already been set aside.

When Toby noticed that she was talking about it so casually, the pain in his heart was relieved, and his breathing went back to normal.

He’d rather she hurt her eye from a fall than believe she’d done something so foolish for Leo. It would be too

tragic for her if that were truly the case.

“Okay.” As he smiled, his exotic and gentle image was restored.

While they were chatting, Amelie’s phone sounded.

She lowered her head and saw a bank message notifying her that she had received a large amount of money. Instantly, shock paralyzed her since she rarely used that account.

Who on earth would send money to this bank account? Her first thought was whether someone had stolen her card to conduct some illegal business.

The moment she wanted to call the bank to inquire about it, her phone sounded again with another message coming in. The message was from Leo. “This is Bria’s living expenses. I will transfer it to you monthly from

now on Mir child doesn’t need to he fed hu athers’

When she read the message, she was initially startled before she found it hilarious. Does he think that Starlight Media’s owner is a man?

Without thinking twice, she transferred the money back to him.

In the meantime, Toby looked at her series of actions in silence. Only when she was done with everything did they walk home together.

When they arrived at the door, Amelie shouted instinctively, “Dad, is lunch ready? I’m hungry.”

However, Steven didn’t stick out his head to answer her as usual. The house was in complete silence as though no one was home.

Surprised by that, she thought he had gone out to buy some ingredients. When she stepped inside, she saw that he hadn’t left the house; instead, he was standing in the middle of the living room. His apron was still around his waist, and he was holding a silicon ladle in his hand with his eyes staring right ahead.

In front of him was a well-dressed person with an exquisite hairstyle; every strand of hair on the woman’ head exuded class and grace. Clad in stiletto heels, a strong aura of condescension could be felt even when she didn’t say a word.

“Mrs. Alston?” The moment Amelie recognized the person there, surprise surged through her.

Meanwhile, Melissa turned around after hearing someone calling her name. When she saw Amelie, her brows angled unnoticeably with disdain.
