When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195

“Snowy.”

What did she say?

“What did you just say?” He instinctively placed his hand on the blanket as his throat tightened.

He had to be sure.

Amelie mumbled softly again, but the sounds were too soft and muffled that he couldn’t hear anything at all! After that, she fell into a deep sleep while Leo maintained that position without moving a muscle.

After a long while, he turned around suddenly and walked out.

…

“I’m fine. You can get to work.”

In the treatment room, Julia, whose arm was hanging from a bandage, walked out together with Samuel.

Obviously, she had just been treated for dislocation, but it had been dislocated for quite a long time, so the doctor put it into a sling for now.

From the unhappy look on her face, Samuel knew that what happened earlier had a significant impact on her, and he didn’t say anything, only squeezing her shoulders a little as a form of silent comfort.

It was true that there were a lot of matters to follow up on, so he only stayed briefly, leaving after giving her a few instructions.

Then, she walked toward Amelie’s ward with one harm in the sling. A few steps later, she saw Leo standing opposite her, watching her with a solemn gaze.

Even though she didn’t seem to be afraid of him and had even publicly expressed her dislike for him, she still stiffened out of reflex when she met those eyes.

She had to admit that he carried a very dominant air, especially after what happened.

Despite the guilt in her heart, she bit the bullet and paced over.

“Mr. Alston, I know you’re here to settle the score with me. What happened today is my fault. I didn’t take care of Bria properly and almost… Almost caused her and Elie’s death.”

When she brought this up, she choked a little. But, even if Leo didn’t reprimand her, there was no hiding the wave of remorse that was currently overwhelming her.

“A mistake is a mistake, and I’m not going to make an excuse for it. You can decide what punishment I deserve!” she said and squeezed her eyes shut.

Leo watched her silently. Usually, she had a sharp tongue and wasn’t very likable, but at this moment, he thought that it wasn’t so bad that Amelie befriended her.

“I’m not here to pursue responsibility. I have another question for you,” he said.

“Huh?” He’s not going to blame me? Julia’s eyes popped open in shock, gawking at him in disbelief and thinking that she had misheard him.

When she placed herself in his shoes, she reckoned that, given his temper, he would at least beat her to a pulp after something like this happened!

“What is it?” she asked tentatively.

“Who was the person you told me before that cured my eye?”

She was startled by that particular question. “Huh?”

At that time, she told him this purely because she was scared out of her wits by the collapse of the supermarket and thought that Amelie would not survive; it was a result of her recklessness.

And now… If I tell him, will Elie skin me alive?

Actually, she was in a dilemma when it came to this matter. Although she was afraid that Amelie would skin her alive, she couldn’t ignore the help and protection he showed toward Amelie today.

She reckoned that he wasn’t as aloof to her as it seemed. At least he cared about her, to some extent.
