When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 236

“Elyse?” Amelie cried out in surprise, not understanding why Elyse was there.

As she watched on, Elyse did not let go. Instead, she eagerly gazed at Amelie’s face as if to confirm something.

Amelie was becoming perplexed. “What are you up to?”

Their faces were so close that their eyelashes almost touched.

Elyse did not respond either.

Those who weren’t aware would think Elyse was attempting to kiss Amelie.

That action drew the attention of other parents, who began scrutinizing them.

Elyse was covered entirely, wearing shades and a mask that stood out in the crowd.

Although the parents who sent their children to this school were not the type to gossip, they speculated on what was going on.

Amelie disliked having people close to her and she despised Elyse, so she reached out to pull Elyse’s hand away from hers. “Others are paying attention to you. Let me go!”

With that, she walked away.

Elyse took a quick look around. Sure enough, the crowd stared at her, so she reached out to cover her eyes and dared not pursue Amelie.

She came looking for Amelie as a result of Ellen’s words.

Ellen had implied that Amelie donated the cornea, so Elyse couldn’t sleep all night because of the revelation.

She was terrified but intrigued. Did Amelie go to great lengths to save Leo, even if it meant risking her eyesight?

It was simple to pretend to be Big Eyes, but no rational person would agree to donate the cornea while they were still alive.

Unless Amelie was insane.

Elyse had spent the entire night speculating on the possibility. As such, she couldn’t take it any longer and came to Halport.

Despite covering her eyes with her hands, she couldn’t stop staring at Amelie from afar. Amelie was standing gracefully, her fair and calm face serene. Elyse squinted and couldn’t see anything wrong. She hadn’t noticed anything wrong earlier either.

However, just because one couldn’t see it didn’t mean it was fine.

It was unfortunate for her that she could no longer approach Amelie.

Approaching Amelie again would not only draw attention from others but would also raise suspicions.

As a result, Elyse could only turn around and get back in the car.

She shut the door but couldn’t bring herself to touch the steering wheel.

Her heart was racing furiously.

Will I walk away empty-handed?

She was unwilling to do that.

Before proceeding to the next step, confirming that Amelie is the cornea donor is of utmost importance.

With that in mind, Elyse reached into her bag, took out her cell phone, and dialed a number. “Can you assist me with something?”

Amelie returned to look for Elyse after picking up Bria, only to discover that the woman had vanished.

Elyse appeared out of nowhere today. She ignored the consequences of being recognized and grabbed me recklessly to stare at me. She didn’t do it just because I look pretty, did she? There must be a reason for her behavior. But what exactly is it?

As Amelie thought about it, her cell phone rang.

When she saw the unknown number on the screen, she didn’t hesitate and answered the call. “Hello?”

“Amelie, you didn’t forget about me, did you?” a young man asked.

Amelie was surprised. Immediately afterward, she realized the caller was Chris.

She grunted.

Chris acted aloof and behaved rudely toward others. However, he changed his mind about Amelie after discovering she was Dash.

“Amelie, you promised to have a match with me. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time but have yet to receive your call. Are you looking down on me and refusing to compete with me?”

“Of course not,” Amelie said while patting her head as she remembered her agreement with Chris. “I was so preoccupied that I forgot about it.”

He calmed down after realizing she had simply forgotten. “Are you available tonight? How about we go head-to-head then?”
