Chapter 113

Elyse is pregnant? Then, a blast of fury coursed through her body. “Elyse!” she growled, her eyes set

on Elyse

Elyse pretended she had just realized she had said something wrong “Oh, sorry I thought he told you I

was in the hospital. We saw Bria when she was taken to the ER. I knew he must be worried, so I told

him to see her He is Bria’s father. Of course, he needs to take responsibility. Our fight remains between

us. The child is innocent. Even if Leo marries me, Bria is still his daughter. That will never change. Of

course, he needs to care

about her.”

So, he’s only showing concern to Bria because Elyse told him to? I see. He never liked her, but all of a

sudden, he changed. And he said he wouldn’t try to take her away from me Told us to stay I bet it was

Elyse’s idea too. How much do you love her, Leo? Amelie felt a chill course through her veins, and she

clenched the wheelchair’s handle with force enough to turn her knuckles white.

“Mommy, why did she say that?” Bria asked quietly, and Amelie snapped out of it.

Elyse was no longer there, and Bria was staring at Amelie dumbly. Tears were glistening in her eyes.

“Bria…” Amelie felt something tearing her heart apart.

She crouched down, trying to cheer Bria up, but the girl was already staring down in despondence I

baby. Daddy doesn’t want me anymore.”

“Bria…” Amelie wanted to lie, to tell her that Leo liked her, but she didn’t think her daughter could read

between the lines so well. And she gulped, though it failed to make her swallow the lump in her throat

All the light in her daughter’s eyes dimmed, and Amelie couldn’t even say anything to comfort her.

Oh, right. I did see him and Elyse back when Bria was sent to the hospital, and he was holding her

protectively. Of course, he was. She’s pregnant with their baby. And now Bria’s hurt. Hurt because she

saw through his pretend love. All Amelie could do was hug her daughter. Small comfort, but still some

comfort

“You still have me, Bria.”

Bria leaned on her mother’s chest, rubbing her head against Amelie’s shoulder like a cat. She didn’t

cry, nor did she shout. But her silence only broke Amelie’s heart more. She hugged her child for a long,

long time. And then, Bria pulled her arm out to pat Amelie’s back. “I have you, Julia, Samuel, Blake,

Jamie, and Grandpa. They love me. I’m not sad at all, Mommy.”

Oh, Bria… So young, but so brave. Amelie teared up. Worried that Leo might show up and ruin Bria’s

mood, Amelie went through the paperwork and got her child discharged that very day. Bria’s wound

was healed, fortunately. The surgery was but a minor one.

Amelie didn’t return to her house, however. Instead, she went to another property of hers. She then

called Julia and turned her phone off. Not too long later, Julia came to her house, accompanied by a

doctor. “What happened? Why did she get appendicitis out of nowhere? I thought you had gone back to

Quinn Town.”

Julia had been vacationing with Samuel these past few days. She had no idea Bria was hospitalized

until Amelie called her.

Amelie briefed her on the matter, but she omitted the fact about Leo’s visits and the ‘truth.” She didn’t

want Julia to yell at him again and talking about Leo might sadden Bria.

Amelie took care of Bria for a few days, and then Julia suddenly told her that the new guy they wanted

wasn’t signing the contract yet. He seemed to have some misgivings.

“Arrange a meeting. Tell him Foxy will be seeing him.”

Well, guess that’s the best idea we have right now. Julia nodded and made the arrangements.

The next day, Amelie handed childcare duty to her friend, while she went to a coffee shop to see the

boy. He was about twenty years old and had just gotten out of the construction site. He was in old, dirty

attire. A

safety helmet hung on his head, and his skin was deeply tanned. He looked weird in this coffee shop,

and the boy pulled his hands back nervously when he saw her.

Amelie said hi. She then told him she too came from a village.

The boy felt a bit more at ease after that, and they had something in common to talk about He might be

timid, but the boy was opinionated on a lot of topics. And their conversation went on for a while. Before

the conversation came to an end, she told the boy she was working at Starlight, and the boy finally

agreed to sign

the contract.

She sent him off and told him about the details of work, then they bade goodbye. But the moment she

turned around, she saw a familiar figure behind her. Leo. He was standing a few yards away. How long

has he been watching? Even at this distance, she could still see his frown. He doesn’t look happy. But

Amelie was going to pretend she didn’t see him. Just when she was about to leave, he approached her.

“Why did you leave the hospital all of a sudden? You could have called me. And why did you turn your

phone off?” he demanded.

A little smile pulled on Amelie’s lips. A smile filled with mockery. “Bria is all better now. There was no

need to waste your time, so we left, she answered politely.

She’s feeling even more distant now. Leo massaged his temples. I don’t like that attitude. “She’s also

my child.”

“If you want a child, you should keep an eye on Miss Clayton. She can give you as many babies as you

like. Bria only needs me.” And she left.

Leo saw her off, and he frowned. Something’s off. She was nice to me a few days ago.

And she’s not the kind of mother who would do anything without going it through with her daughter.

Wait. Did something happen to Bria?

Amelie looked at the time. She promised Bria she would be home in two hours, and there was only half

an hour left before time was up. Bria had been frail ever since the surgery. And after those things Elyse

told her, she started feeling insecure and wouldn’t leave her alone for two seconds..

She didn’t blame her, though, as Elyse’s comment must have cut deep. Gotta get home soon. But a

few later, someone darted out from an alleyway and raised a hand against her.
