Chapter 53
Chapter 53 Chatting in Bed, Naked? Could You Believe That?
Since Lily referred to Amelie as ‘Elie’, it sounded simr to ‘Ely’, so Leo didn’t notice anything wrong
about what she said.
“Speaking of that girl, she really coddled you by coaxing and pampering you. One time when the nurse
identally knocked on your head, she was so upset about it that she cried. That silly girl hade
looking for me multiple times, asking me whether I can treat your eye. She even told me that she would
give you her cornea if we couldn’t get a suitable one for you.”
“I told her that it’s a risky procedure to extract the cornea from a living human as it might lead to
blindness or even death. She wasn’t bothered by it, and when she knew that she couldn’t do a test in
our hospital, she asked me where she could do it. How silly is that child? After that, I found out that she
did those just so you could get your eyesight back and go home, as she was worried that your family
had abandoned you because you were blind.”
After speaking of the past, Lily stopped talking and walked away when she noticed that there wasn’t a
reaction from Leo. She could tell that something might be off. Leo, however, was quiet as he remained
on his spot.
After Amelie left the hospital, she decided to go to her house to do some cleaning since she didn’t have
any other ns. Regardless of whether she was going to stay in the house or not in the future, she
thought that she should cherish it as her parents were the ones who built it. Apparently, Abby didn’t
take good care of the house because some of the spots were covered in mold, and the walls were
chipped.
Seeing that made Amelie’s heart break, and she thought of engaging a team of renovators after two
days to refurbish it. It took her an hour to clean up the interior of the house. As she got out of the house
with the garbage bag, a slim figure caught her attention. It was a woman’s figure which looked slender
and graceful. Amelie could tell that she was a beautiful woman just by looking at it. She couldn’t help
but look up and see a stunning yet familiar face. She frowned upon seeing her. What a horrible fate!
Why would I bump into someone whom I least wanted to three times in the same day? Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
Elyse was looking at Amelie from not too far away. Amelie, who had done a round of cleaning, naturally
looked sloppy, with her messy hair and sweat-covered forehead. However, her eyes shone bright like
stars. Elyse looked away displeasedly, and the natural sense of superiority that she possessed made
her lift her head high like a swan, and it made her look taller than Amelie. Amelie didn’t want to see her
at all, so she left without greeting her.
“Miss Dillon, why not hand over Bria’s custody rights?” Elyse turned her body slightly and demanded
without even greeting her.
“Miss yton, are you confused or something? Why would I hand over Bria’s custody rights?” Amelie
paused her footsteps and looked at Elyse.
Not only did Elyse not get mad after hearing what Amelie said, but she also covered her mouth with her
hand as she smiled. “Leo and I will be getting married soon, so her daughter will naturally be my
daughter. Moreover, it might be challenging for you to raise a child since you seem to have broken up
with the owner of Starlight Media. As a mother, I’m sure you’d want the best for your child. Leaving her
in the care of the Alston Family is the best for her, isn’t it?”
“If you send Bria to the Alston Family, you’ll have a chance at finding your happiness too. I see that the
man before this was pretty decent. He must be quite financially stable too. Instead of keeping your child
with you and keeping constant contact with your ex-husband, you should be married off to a good man
and get a taste of what happiness is like.”
As Amelie listened to her sarcastic remarks, she finally understood something. “Are you suspecting that
the reason I took Bria with me was just so that I could keep in touch with Leo?”
“Isn’t it so?” Elyse smiled. She was grinning, but her eyes were filled with anger.
“Miss yton, a few years back, you had intervened in our rtionship and ruined it. It had caused Leo
and I to be separated from each other for thest four years. I didn’t care about these, but I am willing
to give you a chance to be happy. I believe that I’m already being very generous.”
Elyse’s shamelessness had triggered Amelie, and Amelie had decided to speak her mind since there
was no reason to hide them anymore!
“Miss yton, the way you speak might give other people who aren’t aware of it the impression that
you are the victim. Are you sure that I was the one who came between both of you?!”
“Was I wrong?” Elyse seemed unfazed by Amelie and refuted, “To be honest, there was nothing
between me and that man, and our rtionship could be easily exined. It was because of your
involvement that things started getting awkward, and I could only let you have Leo while I endured the
pain of losing him.”
“I took your feelings into consideration and only exined to Leo after a year.” Elyse’s gaze was
somber, but she smirked as she spoke.
“One yearter?” Amelie didn’t seem well after hearing that.
Throughout those four years, Leo was initially cold toward her, and that was it. A year after their
marriage, which was not long after she gave birth to Bria, he would asionally visit Bria. One day, he
sent her a text telling her that he was going on a business trip and that he would reconsider their
rtionship when he was back. When Amelie thought of how he was starting to warm up to her, she
thought that he had finally decided to ept her. She was so d about it and waited patiently for his
answer.
However, when he got back, Amelie noticed that not only was he colder toward her, he had gotten
hostile as well. Since then, he had allowed his family and friends to bully her. It turned out that he had
met up with Elyse during his business trip, and she uttered the same words to him. Amelie couldn’t
suppress her rage anymore as she was fuming with anger. The reason Elyse did so was so that Amelie
would suffer! All those years, Amelie chose not to argue about it, but since Elyse had stepped on her,
she decided not to hold back anymore.
“Miss yton, it seems like you have a poor memory. Back then, when the reporters asked whether
you cheated, you were silent for five whole minutes. Isn’t that five minutes sufficient for you to rify
the situation? Even if the reporters didn’t believe your words, Leo was standing next to you. I’m sure
that he’d be willing to hear you out.”
Elyse narrowed her gaze and was lost for words after hearing what she said. She had always thought
that Amelie wasn’t a presentable woman. However, at that moment, what Amelie said was spot on, and
she could even predict what Elyse’s answer would be. Elyse was left with no grounds to refute her
remarks.
With that, Amelie nonchntly walked around Elyse and said, “Miss yton, if it wasn’t for my
appearance, your cheating scandal would have been confirmed, and your reputation would have been
ruined four years ago. If that had happened, you wouldn’t have had the opportunity to stand in front of
me and im that you’re the victim. You are, in fact, indebted to me. I never expected you to pay me
back for it, but please don’t appear in front of me and sputter such ungrateful nonsense!”
Elyse was once again lost for words as she froze on the spot with a grave expression on her face. The
proud look on her face had disappeared! She was so mortified that she couldn’t even feel her
fingernails snapping within her tightly clenched fists. She had gone from being the victim to the
beneficiary while Amelie, who had made her lose Leo had be her savior. How could the proud
Elyse ept such an ount?
“Right, you said that there was nothing between you and that man, so could it be that something was
wrong with my eyes? Both of you were naked, so don’t tell me that you guys were just chatting in bed,
naked? Could you even believe your own words?” As Amelie looked at Elyse, a figure standing not far
from them caught her attention.
