When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61

He went to look for Amelie? S-So he heard everything I said to her?

Laura felt her mind go blank. Her legs buckled and she almost fell, but she managed to hold onto the wall just in time.

“Leo!” A silvery voice sounded.

Amelie! Laura stared at her boss and Amelie, but they didn’t run into each other. Instead, Amelie was getting further away.

The next moment, Elyse showed up. A smile curled her lips, and her gaze was filled with love-love for Leo. She approached him and held his arm tightly. Oh, so it was just Elyse. The boss almost ran into Amelie, but he

missed her.

A sigh of relief escaped her lips. Look at me, getting scared out of my wits.

“Why did you bring me here, Leo?” asked Elyse quietly. She remained smiling, though there was confusion in her eyes.

Leo patted the back of her hand. “Just a checkup, that’s all.”

“I just did a full-body checkup, though.” She put on her best elegant smile.

“One more time for good measure.” Leo stared into Elyse’s eyes.

He had made an appointment for a checkup of her eyes. The doctor told him the donor was a girl named Amelie, but the doctor in Quinn Town told him the one who consulted him about living donation was someone called Elyse. He only knew one Elyse, and that was Elyse Clayton. She was the one who donated her cornea to him. Leo chalked the inconsistency between the doctors’ testimonials as a slip of the tongue. Measure twice and cut once, though.

Elyse touched her eyes, which were her most beautiful trait. They glistened and gleamed all the time. When she met Leo’s eyes-ones that were also filled with love-she would put on a timid, sheepish smile.

Leo took that smile in another way. He thought she wouldn’t want him to find out she donated her cornea to him. That was why he didn’t tell her he wanted to verify that the donor was her. “You should go in now,” he muttered.

Laura watched as her boss took Elyse away. She was still confused about the whole situation. She didn’t hear the conversation Leo had with the doctor, so she had no idea that they talked about the donor, and now, Leo was taking Elyse to the ophthalmologist’s room.

However, she did know that Elyse’s sight was almost perfect. Is he trying to find out who the donor is? Dammit. Laura stood around and waited until Elyse had gone into the room alone, then she called her.

“Yes, Laura? If it’s alright with you, can this wait?” asked Elyse softly.

Standing before her were tons of machines that were built to check one’s eyesight. The ophthalmologist was already waiting for her. The old Elyse would have flown into a rage just from this call, but now she had to make herself out to be a polite and mature woman, so she spoke softly.

“Don’t hang up!” said Laura quickly. “This is important!”

Oh, is it? Elyse covered the microphone on her phone and apologized to the ophthalmologist, “Sorry, doctor, but can I take this call?”
