When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192

Leo looked at her with a puzzled look.

Previously, Elyse had given him a series of evidence that proved that it was her older sister, Ellen, who had donated her cornea to save his eye.

Regarding this matter, Leo had done a thorough investigation and even found Ms. Albert from Quinn Town.

Ms. Albert confirmed that the shoemaker’s daughter, Elie, did come to ask her for information on corneal donation.

Since he had used some special measures, Mrs. Albert had spat out the truth.

However, why was Julia asking about this now?

“Who is it?” After a slight pause, he asked Julia, wanting to hear what she was about to say.

“Of course, it’s Elie!”

Before she could say the name “Elie,” they heard another loud rumble, followed by the ground trembling again.

Something had happened at the collapsed supermarket!

As the loud rumble interrupted their conversation, Julia didn’t speak any further, and both looked in that direction.

“Mommy! Grandpa!” Bria’s cries were becoming more hysterical.

Scrunching his eyebrows tightly, Leo ignored the rescue staff’s warning and tore the cordon away before rushing inside.

“Hey, it’s dangerous there!” the personnel responsible for guarding the site yelled.

However, Leo had already disappeared.

Following that, Eugene just happened to lead another team of rescuers over, and they entered the scene.

The scene was a mess with broken and fallen pillars all around. The concrete coating was broken into pieces, exposing the twisted steel bars inside. There were even some bars that were bent into strange angles.

There were so many concrete pieces with sharp angles that there was nowhere to step on.

Dust filled the air, choking anyone who ran inside and causing them to have difficulty breathing.

At the same time, the rescuers were constantly carrying out the wounded one by one.

All of them had faces covered in dust and they were heavily wounded, and there were still some who were pinned under concrete pillars, with no one knowing whether they were still alive.

The originally luxuriously and fashionably decorated supermarket had now become hell. It was a horrific situation!

When Eugene caught up with Leo and saw the situation, he couldn’t help but gasp.

Meanwhile, Leo frowned slightly while focusing his attention and quickly locating Samuel, who was directing the rescuers.

Leo walked over and arrived before Samuel in just a few steps. “Have you found them?”

Samuel looked at Leo in surprise but then shook his head solemnly.

The building was so badly damaged that it was almost impossible for Amelie to still be alive.

Such a realization made Leo frown even deeper.

A while later, he informed Samuel, “I’ll look over there!”

“Mr. Alston, that part of the building is still crumbling. How about I bring someone over?” Eugene ran over and suggested.

Leo glanced at him and declined, “No need!”

After saying that, he sprinted over there himself.

While searching through the rubble, Leo dodged a few small collapses before finally coming across a light-colored figure under a large pillar.

There was Amelie, lying right under the huge pillar.

When the shelves fell, they happened to form a small corner that blocked the pillar and created a small space.

That small space was where Amelie was in.

“Are you alright?” Leo called out to her the moment he saw her.

Hearing someone calling her, Amelie slowly raised her head and looked over.

It was then that Leo discovered that she was shielding someone below her.

Judging from the gray hair, Leo thought it might be Steven.

“I’m fine, but my dad… he might be injured,” Amelie answered softly. When she saw it was him, a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes.

She didn’t expect Leo would come and save her.

After a quick observation of Amelie’s position and surroundings, Leo frowned because where she was was a tight space, so they needed to dig her out.

The things around her and the shelves were supporting the huge pillar, so if they moved any of that, the pillar would fall and squish the people under it.

However, the situation hadn’t reached the point of desperation either because they could still save Amelie and Steven by removing the pillar.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m coming to save you,” Leo comforted her.

It was the first time Leo spoke so gently and harmlessly to Amelie. She was terrified at first, but she was now filled with courage.
