When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Making Up to Him

The man’s hair was tied behind his back, and his bangs made him look elegant and gentle like a scholarly gentleman.

When Amelie saw it was him, she called out in surprise. “Mr. Walsh?”

Toby approached her with a gentle smile on his face.

“What brings you here?” she asked.

His hands in the pockets of his cropped pants gave off a relaxed vibe.

Lowering his head to tidy his bangs, he replied, “I want to ask for your opinion about something.”

“My opinion?” Amelie raised an eyebrow, feeling confused.

Nodding, Toby answered, “I discovered that the person who caused your blood contamination was indeed Elyse.”

Back then, Bria was born with blood issues. The hospital had a small number of rare blood types in stock, but they were knocked to the ground during the trip to the operating theater, causing all of them to be contaminated. That resulted in the hospital having no blood supply to save Bria’s life.

“Elyse was smart and didn’t leave any evidence that could put her in court. But, if Leo finds out about this, he will never forgive her, so do you think I should tell him?”

Amelie’s eyelashes trembled.

Even though she had previously found out the truth through Samuel, she still couldn’t let this matter go after three years. She formed her hands into fists and gave an unexpected answer, “No.”

“You’ve suffered such a huge grievance, yet you want to keep it from Leo?”

Smiling, Amelie replied, “Bria is my daughter, not his. Whether we’ve suffered any grievances does not concern him.”

Her eyes were so calm when she spoke, and it was as though she was talking about a stranger.

Noticing her resolution, Toby inexplicably felt a sense of relief and happiness. “Since that’s your answer, I’ll respect your decision.”

After saying that, he didn’t stay any longer and left Amelie standing in her spot.

She closed her eyes and tried to suppress the discomfort in her heart.

This would be the last act of kindness she performed on Leo. It was her compensation for the four years of their disastrous marriage.

She went over to her car and got in, but she hadn’t driven far when two cars appeared and surrounded her at once.

Everything happened so quickly that Amelie had to stomp on the brakes to avoid a collision.

As she frowned, she had a bad feeling about this.

A few men immediately descended the car, and one opened her door before grabbing her arm. “You’re coming with us!”

“Where are you taking me?” Right after she yelled, someone covered her mouth with his hand, and the four men worked together to pull her out of her car and into theirs.

The cars then sped away.

Along the way, those men didn’t speak a word but taped her mouth shut and confined her.

Confusion filled Amelie’s eyes, and her unknown fate made her heart race wildly.

She desperately tried to distinguish where she was and where they were taking her.

The car passed several streets, and they didn’t look to be heading to the suburbs.

Such a realization confused her even more.

The car drove for more than twenty minutes before arriving at an underground parking lot.

Afterward, Amelie was pulled out of the car and dragged into the elevator to head upstairs, where she was then pushed into a room.

Looking up, she saw the hospital’s logo and figured she was in the VIP section.

Since this was the VIP area, there weren’t many people on this level. Also, those men brought her in through the special passageway, so she didn’t see anyone else around.

“Mr. Lowe, here’s the person you asked for,” the man holding Amelie reported.

Amelie realized someone else was in the room.

It was a man with a gloomy, unruly face that made her feel uncomfortable.

Ashton? Amelie recognized him next.

When Ashton raised his hand and saw Amelie, his eyes darkened even more, and his hatred toward her was displayed on his face!

Without saying anything, he grabbed Amelie before pushing her inside the room.

Amelie stumbled from the push, and since she couldn’t speak, she questioned Ashton with her furious eyes.

Ashton withdrew his arrogant and condescending gaze from her figure, and his expression implied that she was just a disgusting pest to him.

When he looked at the person before him, however, his gaze suddenly turned gentle.

“Ashton, what’s… going on?” A clear and melodious voice came from inside the room.

Amelie finally made out that someone was sitting on the hospital bed.
