When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

"Don't talk nonsense!" Eugene bellowed.

Shocked, she shrank back, her hands fumbling at her collar. "It was me. There was no one else. Leo, I

blinded myself in one eye for you. You can't abandon me now." As she said that, she leaned toward

him.

At the same time, Eugene quickly intercepted and pushed her away. This caused her to start crying

and mumbling incoherently.

Without looking at her, Leo asked Eugene, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said her mental illness is pretty severe. She often confuses her fantasies with reality. She

might have seen the cornea donor, but she imagined it to be herself. So…" Eugene's unspoken

implication was that Ellen could no longer give them the name of the cornea donor.

When Leo heard that, he became disgruntled. He didn't want to owe anyone anything, especially such

a big favor. "Find out what happened to her throughout these few years," he ordered before leaving.

Behind him, Eugene shook his head helplessly. Mr. Alston has been searching for his cornea donor all

this time, but the person has never shown up. It's been so long that much of the evidence has

disappeared. I might not find any useful information even if I investigate Ellen. Sigh, what's wrong with

that cornea donor? There must have been a reason for her to donate her cornea. Why hasn't she

shown up for so many years?

…

At the same time, in the Alston Residence, Jodie burst through the door and shouted at Melissa in the

living room, "Gosh, I have some great news!"

Melissa was getting her nails painted by Miss Potts. When she heard that, she frowned in

dissatisfaction. "What kind of behavior is this from a grown woman? People who don't know us would

think we don't have any manners in this house."

Although Jodie hated Melissa's nagging the most, she wasn't in the mood to argue with her. She

handed her phone to Melissa and said, "Look, Mom. Elyse has committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Melissa's hand shook upon being stunned, causing Miss Potts to paint her finger by

accident. However, she didn't care as she grabbed the phone that Jodie handed over to read the news.

"This woman must have been at her wits' end to choose suicide. Hmph! Tax evasion and falsifying

contracts are enough reasons for her to do so. The fines alone could have ruined her. Without Leo's

protection, what else could she do but kill herself?"

Jodie had always looked down on Elyse, so she couldn't help but recall how Elyse used to show off in

front of her when Leo liked Elyse. It was nothing compared to death, but she couldn't help feeling

resentful.

"It's good that she's dead." Melissa was visibly relieved when she read about Elyse's death. This

woman was always pestering Leo and had all sorts of schemes in her mind. She was very annoying.

Now that she's gone, Leo will have a better relationship with Foxy.

"By the way, how's Foxy and your brother doing?" She couldn't help but be concerned about this

matter. Leo had been home for days, yet he hadn't mentioned anything about Foxy. Since she was

afraid of offending him, she didn't dare ask him directly either.

"Not bad," Jodie replied, although she didn't like Foxy very much. "Leo took her to make a wish to

Amaro, the Love Immortal. According to a priest who passed by them, Leo even said that he wanted to

pursue her." Since she was too afraid to follow them, she had gotten a priest to deliberately walk past

them and eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Oh, that's great!" When Melissa heard that, she couldn't stop smiling. "It looks like they're getting

married soon. In that case, how many tables do we need for the wedding ceremony? I think one hotel

won't be enough. Two would be nice. Are there two big hotels in this city that are connected?"

As she spoke, she started looking it up on her phone. One is a business tycoon, and the other is a

famous influencer with millions of fans. This wedding is going to be a big deal. The scale has to be

unprecedented!

Just as she was getting into it, her phone beeped with a message. However, she wasn't in the mood to

look at any messages now, so she was going to swipe it away, but she accidentally clicked on it.

The moment she opened the message, her joyous expression froze as her eyes went still. It was as

though she had been stunned, unable to move a finger.

Seeing how Melissa suddenly went silent and sat there while staring blankly, Jodie was confused.

"What's wrong? What is it?"

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!" Melissa suddenly became agitated and repeated the words

over and over again. At the same time, she slammed her hands on the table. The manicure kit bounced

and nail polish spilled over.

"What's the matter, Mrs. Alston? What made you so angry?" asked Miss Potts in confusion.

At this moment, Melissa had already stood up and was pacing around the room.

Although Miss Potts didn't know why she blew a gasket, she knew she couldn't continue painting her

nails, so she quickly packed her things and left.

As the most curious person, Jodie was already impatient. Seeing Melissa's behavior, she knew that

something big had happened, so she walked over and snatched Melissa's phone.

The moment she looked at the screen and saw the photo, she screamed, "Ah!"
