When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Leo Falls Ill

"You haven't done anything bad, have you?" Melissa still knew him somewhat despite his cold demeanor, and he wouldn't just attack someone for no reason.

"I didn't do anything bad." Chandler hastily shook his head as if he had been caught doing something wrong. "But Leo thinks I did."

"What do you mean by that?" Her patience was wearing thin, and she was getting annoyed.

"Please stop asking me, Mrs. Alston." Chandler looked like he couldn't say anything. "I-I'm in pain. I need to rest!"

With that, he hurriedly ran upstairs.

Chandler's reluctance to speak was like a hook in Melissa's heart, making her uneasy.

However, she always had a sense of superiority and cared about her reputation, so she would not lower herself to ask more questions.

To Melissa, that was a very embarrassing thing to do. As these conflicting thoughts collided within her, she couldn't help pacing back and forth in the room.

Just as she was walking, she suddenly bumped into someone.

"Ouch!"

The person whom she collided with was Jodie.

Jodie was pushed back several steps, and her foot was twisted painfully.

"Mom, what are you doing?!" Jodie glared. Initially, she wanted to hit the person but quickly retracted her hand upon seeing it was Melissa. She rubbed her sore ankle and complained, "Can't you see me? Why did you bump into me like that?"

Melissa slowly regained her senses and saw that it was her daughter. She asked, "Are you okay?"

"How can I be okay? I was almost knocked over." Jodie rubbed her ankle, then her shoulder where she was hit. "Mom, are you dating someone? You seem absent-minded."

"What are you talking about?!" A hint of awkwardness appeared on Melissa's face. "I'm just worried about your brother!"

"What's wrong with Leo?" Jodie asked.

Melissa recounted the incident where Leo suddenly hit Chandler and how he hesitated to speak thereafter.

"I can tell that Chandler is hiding something, and it's related to Leo."

"It can't be that Leo has a terminal illness, can it?" Jodie cried out in concern. If Leo does have a terminal illness, what will happen to the company in the future? I am not ready to take over the company yet.

She just wanted to play all day and being in charge of the company was like a bolt from the blue.

Melissa became even more worried when she heard Jodie's words. If Leo dies ahead of me, what will I do with the rest of my life?

She had briefly taken over the company in her youth, but her abilities were limited. Fortunately, Warren was still alive at the time and helped support her.

However, he had passed away many years ago, so she had no one to rely on.

If Leo died, many people would try to take over the company.

When Melissa was younger, she was ambitious and wanted to fight for everything, but after years of living a comfortable life, her ambition had long been gone. Thinking about these things now just gave her a headache.

"Jojo, look for Chandler now and find out what's happening!"

Jodie didn't dare to delay any further and forgot about the pain in her foot as she ran upstairs.

At Chandler's door, she knocked incessantly and called out, "Chandler, come out!"

After a moment, Chandler opened the door. "Jojo, what do you want this late?"

She quickly entered his room and closed the door, asking earnestly, "Tell me the truth, is Leo sick?"
