When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407 We Are Even

The expected explosion did not occur.

"What’s going on? How could this happen?" After a long while, Melissa exclaimed in disbelief.

Outside the door, there was another loud bang.

Someone walked inside.

"I had the explosive cleared out a long time ago," the man said coldly.

She looked up, and her face became as white as a sheet when she saw him.

"Leony?" Jodie muttered after a while.

Leo walked step by step toward them. He was followed by Eugene, some of his men, and the police.

The police quickly moved in and hauled Melissa up.

Leo walked toward Amelie with a heavy look in his eyes.

…

At the hospital, Leo asked, "How is she doing?"

Eugene knew whom he was asking about. He was stiff and his face was solemn. "Her condition isn’t very good. The doctor said… she suffered a mental shock."

Leo lowered his head and only hummed in acknowledgment. He didn't speak after that.

Amelie was standing opposite him. Even though three hours had passed since that incident, she still couldn’t believe it was true.

Melissa suddenly became the true culprit who killed her husband.

Leo woke up from his coma.

Jodie was fooled by her real mother. She targeted her brother and was now suffering a mental shock.

Even most TV dramas would not dare to portray such a plot.

Eugene waited a long time but didn’t get any response from Leo. He nodded at the both of them and then walked away.

Other medical staff also left quietly. Finally, only the two of them were left in the room.

Amelie quietly looked at Leo, who then turned his head to look at her too. Her gaze was filled with surprise, whereas his expression was much more complex.

In his deep eyes, there was a touch of tenderness. It was like an abyss that wanted to lure her in.

This gaze that was carrying affection quietly penetrated Amelie’s heart. This caused her stomach to flutter with butterflies.

She found it hard to even breathe.

"It’s good that you woke up," she muttered after a while.

So many things happened today. She had so many questions and things she wanted to know, but what could be more important than him waking up?

"Yes, I woke up." He repeated what she said as his gaze focused on her. He only had eyes for her.

Even though he didn't say anything, his deep gaze still made Amelie blush. Her heart even skipped a beat.

She didn’t know what to say, so she asked, "Does anywhere else hurt?"

"Yes," he replied, but he didn’t say much after.

Amelie waited for a long time for his response.

"Where does it hurt?" She had to ask further. After asking, she bit her lip and said, “I’m sorry.”

His real mother became a criminal. Not only did she kill her husband, but she even intended to end her son’s life. She didn't even want to spare her daughter. His younger sister also planned to kill him. It is very tragic when one’s family members turn against them in such a way. What’s there to feel good about? she thought.

She suddenly felt fortunate that she was not born into a wealthy family, so she did not need to do these cruel and heartless things for money and status.

"You don’t have to say sorry." Leo walked toward her with an intense gaze before he clutched his heart with his hand. "But I feel a bit uncomfortable."

She quickly walked over to him when she saw his action. "Has your heart not fully recovered yet?"

After the emergency surgery, he remained unconscious. It was unclear how much his heart had recovered as a result.

Leo merely responded with a hum. He pulled her into his embrace the moment her hand touched his shirt, and he held her tightly.

Amelie remained still, letting him hug her. She could smell the faint scent of medicine on him and couldn't help but notice his breathing in her ear.

When was the last time they had been this close to each other?
